Private Message to Barty Crouch, Jr and Rufus Scrimgeour

The files on Maule - have they arrived? Weasley said he sent them, far too late for my liking, however.

Should have had Pandya invent an excuse to hold him a few hours' more. Damnation.

Rufus - his properties in Launceton: Have you set guards there as well? He'll likely clean up his out-of-town affairs before running to ground.

Blast.

Told Fudge not to --

He'll not run, no, but you can be sure he'll finish utterly destroying any connexion betwixt him and Smethley or any blight or taint of corrupt practice in his 'clinics.'

Shall take it up with Fudge myself, to-night. Imperius to combat Imperius - Bloody Erebus, what a mess.
