Private Message to Barty and Claudius

[alt_lucius]

Anything yet?

He's away, though His last comment was that He plans to summon us all once the scene here has been contained.

Narcissa has helpfully assembled the spouses and they are handing round tea. Kindle, Haley, Sanditon and their lot are beginning the interviews as quickly as possible.

Dominic's with the Healers but someone ought to be dispatched to St Mungo's with the family, perhaps. The ones who are here, that is.

Rowle's already rounded up the work detail (and another work detail besides) for Swift Retribution.

And I need to speak to Stephen as soon as possible, if you see him.

Have just blasted two more reporters skulking behind the tape. Bloody nuisances.

Consensus here is that we can sell 'Faulty construction led to collapse of scaffolding.' Accounts for what's visible. And low casualty count.

Truncheon and Penderyn working on the first batch of witnesses and persons of int. Will make quick work of that. And quiet.

Good.

Am joining the wives; will pass on the official version.

Reporters - where is Fudge? He or Claudius ought to be making a statement, now that we have one.

The IMA have gone too fucking far this time.

[alt_crouch_jr]

Lucius. Dammit.

It's def IMA. Forney's just dug a brick out of the turf. 'Ballydrain Brickworks, Co. Down'

Bloody IMA calling card.

[alt_lucius]

Knew it. Hate when I'm right.

HOW THE BLOODY FUCKING

Nevermind. We shall all know the how soon enough.

Stephen. Need Stephen. The O'Connors shall have to pay for this, as it's clear they can do nothing to keep their muggles in line.
