to explain the attack on mr. Weasley, more specifically the place
where they found him.

Carol:
I like Ginger's explanation, which I confess I hadn't thought of, but
probably the fact that Arthur was a Ministry employee was also helpful
in explaining his presence there--just getting some extra work done at
night away from the wife and kids. It would have been much more
difficult to explain why, say, Mundungus Fletcher was there or how he
got in. OTOH, it would still have been handy to have "the right
people" find Mr. Weasley so they wouldn't have to explain what he was
doing in the wrong department wearing an invisibility cloak. As for
how the "dirty great snake" got in--lax security on the MoM's part?

Carol, who thinks that Bode's name boded ill for him and wonders
whether his fellow "Unspeakable," Croaker, is also destined to, um,
meet his fate in the next book or two
