They had spent months, close to a year, hammering out all the details so the bloody Ministry would have everything they needed to make a decision at their fingertips! She had crossed every t and dotted every i herself but the miserly old fools were still dragging their feet; from taking six months to read the proposal to taking another two months for anyone to inspect the grounds Charlie had picked out to another two months for a decision to be made on the approval of the wizards and witches to be hired, picked by Charlie with his many years of experience! Now, now she had to wait for whichever underling the Ministry sent to give them a simple "yes’ or "no’. Why they hadn’t sent their response via owl she had no clue but it was really annoying to have to wait on someone who didn’t think the memo should be given at the assigned time!
