approached.
"Dorea forgot to mention that." Charlus groaned as he approached the two men,
hand extended in polite greeting. "Those are my sons in there. Is everything all right?"
"Not entirely, sir," Kingsley admitted. "We've already taken a statement from them
and, though they're both of age, being that they're still Hogwarts students we'll have to
