Hypothetical Dialouge:
Ron: What are we going to do?
Hermione: I expect Harry has a plan.
Ron: Thank God.
Hermione: It's possible you don't recall Harry's other plans.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I forget, did he say "Ooops!" right after that?

Well, Harry has gone in Umbrage's office and he found Arthur's file. No news there, he already knew that the Weasley's were being watched. Also, Ron's cover story has worked perfectly. The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore appears yet again. It sounds like Dumbledore's childhood friend could be important as well. I find it amusing about how little suspicion the decoy detonator causes.
The elevator ride with Arthur and Percy was a bit awkward. I thought Harry did a nice job of warning Arthur, but I imagine that the news wasn't a surprise. Arthur doesn't appear to be intimidated by anyone except Molly. To be fair though, I don't think anyone couldn't be intimidated by Molly when she's in full temper.
The Department of Mysteries makes it's first appearance, although it isn't Harry's destination yet. Anyhow, the hearings sound pretty horrific. Hermione once again shows good thinking (unlike with Finnius' portrait) with the replacement locket. The plan of leading a whole bunch of accused people out of the ministry doesn't seem well conceived to me, but sometimes you have to chose between what is right and what is easy.
I left off at the point where Harry has stopped them from sealing the exits and the muggleborns are evacuating. The real Reg has shown up and my commute ended at an inopprotune time.

If we are thinking of the same thing, I SO agree. Heh.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yes this is really deepening my enjoyment of the book.

I think we're all on the same page. Thanks, Gud!
