alt_luciusMs Lamont,
Wondered if you have made any progress in the investigation to which you were assigned yester-day. If you could be so kind as to remit your discoveries directly to myself or Auror Crouch, copied to Auror Gauge, of course, that would be appropriate in this case. You may be aware that I do, on occasion, work with MLE as a consulting member of the Council, so you need have no fear that you are violating protocol to report outside your chain of command.
Auror Crouch spoke highly (for him) of your abilities. I trust we shall not be disappointed. Thus far, your services have been most satisfactory. Pray continue with similar diligence and - I believe the word Barty used was 'creativity' - and there should be no cause for concern.
In fact ... I wish to thank you for the spirit with which you assisted to bring the journals under MLE so swiftly. I realise that you were given little choice in the request by your superior; however, one may choose to serve at the minimum required or one may go beyond what is asked. Do not take that as an insult: Suspect you are hardly the type who would or could shirk your duty, or Barty would not have praised you even remotely. It is only by way of observing that not all persons put in your position yester-day would have thrown themselves into the task with full commitment.
As I said, I would welcome the opportunity to thank you, as well as to receive further reports. Might you be interested in tea, either Wednesday or Friday this week? I can promise you better fare than the Ministry canteen, though that is perhaps too easy a promise to make.
Do let me know and send along any other information you have acquired regarding the charges against Massopust, Plympton and the others under arrest.
Yours in service to the Protectorate,
Lucius S. Malfoy, &c.
