To-day's docket reminded one of the tireless efforts MLE undertake for the well-being of the Protectorate's subjects.

Three theft cases; two accusations of slander; a blood-traitor and collaborator; and of course, sentencing for the remains of the smuggling ring apprehended by MLE's own Aurors nearly two weeks ago.

It's truly a comfort to know that no matter who is heading the Department, Our Lord's Enforcers remain steadfast to their duty.

Luckily it was a short session, if an eventful one, which provided ample opportunity to pay long overdue visits to several colleagues at the Ministry.


Barty, heard your division had an eventful evening last night. If you are not working the festival at the week-end, you must join us and tell us all about it.

Need meeting with Rookwood some time in the next week.

Also require time for camp inspections at Cheadle, Doncaster and Harlow. Sometime in the next three weeks. Include Revanche or Sawers-Cumming in the parties as well as Plympton or his representative - but make it clear that he's to appoint a senior staff member if he's unavailable himself. (Same goes for Revance or Sawers-Cumming; they may bring their trainees but not send them.)

Kindly ensure that the reports for Magical Commerce are on my desk by to-morrow noon.

Board of Governors meets the 26^th. Includes voting on the replacement Governors.

Supper? Have the distinct feeling I shall need a stiff drink afterward.

Re: Private Message to Toshenka

Yes, of course. And if you need anyone to be charming and reasonable at people, you know where to find me.

Do you think there will be any issues with the vote?

Glad you liked it.

And that I wandered by your office this after-noon.

Congratulations, again, on your breakthrough.

Re: Private Message to Auror Lamont

Thank you again. It's lovely, and definitely not something I'd ever have bought for myself.

As for the breakthrough, there is nothing quite as satisfying as nailing someone who richly deserves it to the evidence of their crimes! I knew I'd find the proof I needed if I kept looking.

Do you know, I had that impression when I saw you walk past that booth three times in the space of two hours.

Call it a celebratory present on the occasion of your success (or at least, it's convenient to think of it as such).

And thank you for luncheon. If only all meals at the Ministry were so delicious.

[alt_crouch_jr]

Eventful, yes. And productive. Four investigations paying fruit at once.

Think you were briefed last night re. the camp admin, Winborn? By noon, Truncheon had gathered quite a list of names and accusations. Some of that is presumably nonsense. Good work for several units, including MEU, separating fact from lies. Gauge was on point from the start, obviously: had his people inserted at Adur overnight. Imagine there's quite a lot to investigate there.

[alt_narcissa]

Barty, I'm so glad you came and found us this evening in time for the fireworks. They really were tremendous, weren't they?

[alt_crouch_jr]

Every bit as impressive as the display on Freedom Day. Staging them over the water rather than over Buckingham and the parks, though, adds to the drama. The reflection off the water.

Apparently one of the gondolas overturned during the finale, though. Someone's night ended at St M's.

In general, though, Crowd Control are managing things remarkably well. Very few reports of any kind.

[alt_lucius]

Better than those whose nights are ending in Azkaban.

Was briefed this morning on the progress at Adur.

[alt_crouch_jr]

Just had more from Gauge's crew:

Adur presently short 526 Muggles.
No record of which ones dead vs. escaped. Shoddy does not describe the record-keeping, apparently.
Have, however, compiled draft list of those unaccounted for.
Additional 230 supposed lent to other camps. MEU cross-checking to confirm whereabouts.
And fiddling with calculations meant to sort out likely magnitude of escapes.

Ten percent would be over 50 escaped. And with no apparent oversight... no reason to hope the number is that low.

Dammit.

Trust you'll find the right candidates to insert there. Righting that ship will challenge whoever takes up the position.

Seven-hundred and fifty unaccounted for? That many?

How the bloody -

Nevermind. Know how.

They're lucky we don't wipe the camp out of existence, and everyone associated with it.
