Not so great news, friend. Its not so easy to leave the country officially, not at all. And I've already tried but I'm quickly exhasuting all of my channels. And its coming to a point that I can go, but not without taking a huge risk and blow to myself. Its such a way that I can't really explain it, but its looking like this:
I can go, but I won't be an Auror for very much longer if I do.
Sorry mate, I tried. I'm sure there's a back-up plan. There always is.
Cheer up,
