Wouldn't that be indicated by the Weasley's clock that tracks the 
whereabouts of the Weasley's?  There's a point at which Mr. Weasley
seems to be en route home from the office for a few seconds; it's not
clear whether he used floo powder (which we know takes a bit of time) 
or apparated, but it seems to me that he did apparate.
 
I guess this is by way of an introduction to the group -- hi, y'all!
I'm Marty, sister of Meredith Wilson.  I'm never sure what anyone else
wants to know about me, so if you're curious about something, please 
feel free to ask.

I need another discussion e-mail group like I need a hole in the head, 
but it's SUCH a relief to find people who will take my thoughts on HP
seriously!  And such an intelligent group you seem, too!  I'm really
looking forward to participating in the discussions here.
