Harry esperava que representantes do Ministério aparecessem quase imediatamente:
he had just done serious magic, which meant that he was almost certainly expelled from Hogwarts. He had broken the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry so badly, he was surprised Ministry of Magic representatives weren’t swooping down on him where he sat.
Era razoável supor que eles reverteriam a magia e a ajudariam. Talvez eles não tenham aparecido tão cedo quanto Harry esperava, mas eles a resgataram de fato:
“You will be pleased to hear that we have dealt with the unfortunate blowing-up of Miss Marjorie Dursley. Two members of the Accidental Magic Reversal Department were dispatched to Privet Drive a few hours ago. Miss Dursley has been punctured and her memory has been modified. She has no recollection of the incident at all. So that’s that, and no harm done.”
Dito isso, ele parece se preocupar mais com o que aconteceria com ele do que com ela:
He, Harry, had broken wizard law just like Sirius Black. Was inflating Aunt Marge bad enough to land him in Azkaban? Harry didn’t know anything about the wizard prison, though everyone he’d ever heard speak of it did so in the same fearful tone.
