alt_luciusMagical Commerce met on Monday, with some encouraging signs of progress. The cure has been spread generally through the camps and more and more Muggles are able to return to their work details.
A Healer from St Mungo's also reported that thanks in large part to the precautions instituted by the Department of Protectorate Affairs, the spread of disease among the halfblood population appears to be contained. There have been a number of reported cases of pureblood sickness, but even this has been less widespread than feared. The self-imposed limitations on travel seem to be working.
Unfortunately, for the good of the students, it is unlikely that we can recommend lifting the quarantine in time for Easter holidays. But there is still a week in which to make that decision. The Governors have been discussing provisions for the OWL and NEWT examiners to travel to the school without jeopardising the conditions at the school.
This month's Londinarium continues its ability to reflect the character of society. His article on the Lovegood disgrace was nothing short of uncanny. Were it not for certain knowledge that no one on the Council had commented, I could swear that he had secured privileged information. As it is, he is clearly accomplished in the art of investigative reporting. Pity that Narcissa insists on proscribing his publication in the house, since he and Regulus have been less friendly. Suspect she'll get past it rather sooner than later. (Agree with her that there is no need to acquiesce to his continued requests to profile Kensington.)

Unless, of course, you were glad for the excuse?

Have you finished already? I was given to understand you would be indisposed for some time yet.
