That was a good idea, I would have asked her but there was another enormous row with Jeremy today and I heard.
It IS the sickness, at least I think it is. Some of their muggles are sick and the Strettons are really fearful of getting it. Jeremy shouted at them that the Ministry said it was no danger to wizards and they were bad subjects. And then after more shouting he said if they didn't let him out to fly on his broom he was going to report them to MLE for having the wrong sort of ideas. I think he was bluffing and anyway would Mrs Lestrange care when all they're doing is keeping their own kids in the house? it's not as if they're writing in the journals saying 'be afraid everyone! we're all going to get sick! the Ministry is lying!' but they let him go out provided he stayed in the air and didn't go past some boundaries, I think that keeps him away from all the farms.
