Cornelius Fudge Explains the Situation to Harry
Pages 43-45
Cornelius Fudge leads Harry inside the Leaky Cauldron and explains that Marge Dursley has been deflated, her memory modified, and that Harry will not be punished for using magic. Instead of facing consequences for breaking the law, Harry is told he can spend the rest of the summer at the Leaky Cauldron. Fudge's leniency puzzles Harry, as it doesn't align with the Ministry's previous actions.
