It's done. The Roman Eagle is destroyed. Fairly certain our basalisk fang is tapped out, though.

It was a far more difficult task than the cup was. The thing inside of it really didn't want to go.

Worse yet, we had to put down the elf, Winky. Even after obliviating her, she was frantic about having done a "bad thing" that her Master wouldn't like. She couldn't remember what she'd done - the specifics were gone, but the guilt wasn't.

Hermione had a capsule in her holding bracelet. Hemlock and a strong sedating potion, for emergencies. It seemed like the most humane method available.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who was involved in this accomplishment.

Yeah.

George and I devoutly hope it means NO MORE FECKING INFERI.

Or at least, His Ponciness won't find it as easy to pull them out of his back pocket when his Aurors run into a spot of trouble.

That's wonderful to hear. I'm sorry you had to do that to the elf though--there's so much I just don't understand about them.

And good show, Daphne, when you see this. Literally none of us could have done what you just did.

Private message to Hermione

I hope you understand that when I thank you all, I don't mean to slight in any way the pain of the decision you had to make concerning Winky though, Hermione dear. I know that must have been dreadfully difficult for you, and I'm sorry for that.
