alt_luciusStill no progress from MLE on the Gringotts affair.
And one would think that the Prophet would be more accurate in its portrayal of the investigation, on top of that.
Investigations continue into the break-in at Gringotts on 1st September, widely believed to be the work of malevolent wizards or witches unknown.
Gringotts' goblins today insisted that the intruder must have had legal access to the vaults, because their security measures were not disturbed. They maintain that the thief must have known the account's owner.
An anonymous source at the Ministry of Magic, however, claims otherwise. 'Gringotts has a reputation to uphold, of course, they would hate to admit that their alarms are fallible.'
Exactly what was stolen remains a mystery. 'We're not telling you what was in there, so keep your noses out if you know what's good for you,' said a Gringotts spokesgoblin this afternoon.
Not a word, mind you, about the generous reward the Aurors are offering for information concerning the robbery. This is precisely the sort of twaddle that would not occur if the bank weren't controlled by non-humans. Undisturbed security measures, indeed! I do keep telling Scrimgeour that he ought to insist on a wizard advisory board. There are too many secrets inside those caverns.
Inside job! I shouldn't be surprised if someone had paid the goblins to rob the vault themselves.
At any rate, Scrimgeour insists on giving people a chance to come forward with information. Bella is livid--that's actually quite amusing. She's all for a spot of reprisals, rather than rewards, if no one informs soon. More than ready to have her and Travers overtake Dawlish's investigation, the imbecile.
Also: sent journals to Amanda and Mother. Narcissa keen to hear from Amanda again. Hope it's not more nonsense about the Paris season.
