Mum and dad are off at some big Ministry event. Looks to be terribly boring, so I'm not at all disappointed to be left at home. Worried I was going to embarass you, eh, dad?

In the meantime, I've got tonnes of paperwork to do. Seems that bastard dad my father has instructed everyone in the department that I'm to have no special favours because

[Private: Barty Jr]This is between you and me -- you must never speak of this to anyone -- but your father's a wanker and has been since he was in school.[/private]

[private Arthur:]

From the way he acts now, it wasn't very hard to guess.

Just as well Ronnie threw up on my only dress robes and I had to miss the damn thing. They aren't any fun.

[private:Barty]And with your father there it's only worse.[/private]

[bitterly_barty]

I don't think I'll ever have children.

[private: Arthur]

It is. ... may I ask why you think so? After living with him for eighteen years, I don't doubt your assessment, but... it seems peculiar of you to say so to me.

I hear you're putting on a, er, good job down there, son. Good show. I'm glad they're being honest and fair, and giving you work according to your strengths.

And about the Ministry gala, well, you didn't really want to come did you? I completely forgot about you. Best if you don't see the uglier side of things quite yet, eh?

[bitterly_barty]

Of course not, father. There are better things to do with my time. I only wished to keep mother company.

Good day, laddy, and good to see you hear.

[Private] Listen, Barty, I'm inviting you to the Cause posts. Make sure you read them. We might need you to get in contact with the Lestrange business soon- there's a few people we need taken to Europe. I know it's not quite your department, but we'll try for a transfer to the Internationals if we have to. Otherwise, just make sure you report to Rookwood or myself [/Private]

Good day, Mr. MacNair.

I will do whatever my Lord asks of me.

... the Lestranges? Luna?

[Private]Indeed. R is a dangerous fellow, though- don't become too deeply involved with him. There are Death Eaters, and there are Death Eaters, if you know what I mean. [/Private]

Re:

[Private] ... I'm not quite sure what you mean, actually. Enlighten me? [/private]

Not all of us were able to make it to the gala. You did get all of the paperwork done, didn't you?
