Jane gave a small smile. She rather doubted that Conley would want the sort of contacts she had--misanthropic alchemists and eccentric sorcerors and cranky wood-wives and the rest--but they did provide useful information on things that sometimes went under the radar elsewhere.

"I don't know," Jane replied thoughtfully. "I just got curious after that incident at the floos and thought I'd look into it. But it does seem curious, doesn't it? I've long thought it was probably a mistake to rely on just one source for something so many rely on. At any rate," she continued, flipping shut her notebook and tucking it away in her reticule, "if doesn't hurt to be alert and aware, does it?" After the past few years at the Ministry, Jane was not inclined to just pass over strange incidents, no matter how minor they appeared at the time.
