I saw the sun rise this morning above Our Lord's great triumphal arch in Green Park as I returned from Buckingham to the office.

I was in need of the invigorating walk after 1 of the longest, most significant nights of work I can remember. New London in the chill of early morning is bracing in the best way, and by the time I returned to the Ministry, I'd cleared my brain of its cobwebs.

The mood in the Ministry this morning is effervescent. As I entered the lobby, I was swept up in a great crowd of celebration: people were seizing on perfect strangers to embrace them or clap them on the back. I must have been kissed four or five times by witches with whom I have the barest acquaintance. Frankly, I was glad to return to my quiet corner of the Auror suite. Here, at least, reason prevails over jubilation. Not that we don't feel it, but we're preparing for those even greater things this day will bring.

I know. You have excellent cause to be proud, but the situation is far from over yet. Not until he stands before the whole country to answer for his myriad crimes.

Still, it's understandable that everyone wants to celebrate. You all deserve to be kissed.

As you've no doubt already been told, Lucius was able to reach the French head of enforcement and rush Black's extradition. So very soon, now, we shall be able to properly speak of triumph.

She's not wrong - they do all deserve to be Kissed, every last one of them. I do not mean by witches.
