Private Message to Percy Weasley

Cancel morning appointments.

Blast - is Cuthbert on at eleven? Keep No, cancel that as well. Monday will do.

However. Need to see Bole and Cuffe before Court to-day.

First: Find the file on Maule's operations in New London - and the properties in Launceton. Crouch needs them at MLE postehaste.


Oh, and Mrs Malfoy asked me to confirm Fudge, Thicknesse, Rookwood and Rowle for to-night. See to that at some point, if you please.

Appointments cancelled, sir. I have set tentative reschedule times in your calendar, pending your approval.

I have contacted both Bole and Cuffe and they are on their way. The Maule file has been dispatched to Mr Crouch.

I will ensure the other confirmations.

Too late, boy. He's slipped MLE. Bloody --

Next time, when I say I need something immediately, I mean immediately, Weasley, not two hours later.

Sir, my profound apologies, but I assure you it wasn't two hours. I was in transit when you wrote your message, and the file was sent as soon as I saw it, which was within a half hour of the time you requested it. I simply delayed my written confirmation to you because I was tracking down Messrs Bole and Cuffe.

If it would facilitate matters, I can personally retrieve the file from MLE and hand deliver it wherever you wish.

Pennifold had better confirm your story, Weasley.

As for the file, no amount of ferrying it elsewhere shall make any difference now. Shall follow the matter with Fudge personally.
