   "How convenient it is, then, that a new office was recently established in the Ministry of Magic. This one is called the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects. Sounds like just the thing, isn't it? This office, while conveniently a side one and far from the center of attention,
employs no less than ten workers, who spend long hours(frequently until after midnight) searching and confiscating cursed Sneakoscops, fake potions, Metamorph-medals and that sort of knick-knack. They were even known to raid a DE's house merely on the ground of some undisclosed "confidential tip-off". It probably wouldn't raise a single eyebrow if they were after some magic lockets or cups. How lucky, then, that Harry is in very good terms with the head of this office (who is, in case you haven't caught up yet, one Arthur Weasley). I wonder if 17
 years old wizards can get a temporary job in the Ministry while school is closed down for the war?"

CH3ed: Nice catch Neri!!I think you're on to JKR there. I'd love to see Arthur Weasley in action (and mentoring Harry in his quest along the way). Guess they should start with Dung, ay? I hope he hadn't made off with that locket that nobody could open from Grimmauld Place yet.
