End times, end times! Stock up on food and drinks- and run and hide. (Is it the thunder or the trumps of doom that I can hear from here?) Let us all relinquish all, and bow, and genuflect, and cry before the Genius. One thing remains unclear though - what is this fetishist idea with diamond collars? Should we already pledge our loyalty to you, o

I beg your pardon, but did I read correctly - the current Minister was not elected into his position?

[morsus_et_mors]

Yes, kind sir, you did. Shingleton was not elected into his position. One could, technically, say that he is abusing his powers, which should be limited, should we speak on juristical terms.

[percys_grail]

Well, that certainly sheds a new light on the subject...

I'm sure it does.

Poetic as always. But do recall that we do elect the Minister - just not this one. Though we ought to find out just what is taking so long about electing a new one properly. Shingleton was only supposed to be holding the office until that could be done. Not that I imagine he's in a hurry to arrange it.

How exactly do you define 'worthy Wizards'?

Why of course, what else would you expect from someone so dauntlessly brilliant? Poesy is but only one of my many talents, I assure you.

As for the definition of 'worthy' Wizards - I'd say, those who have an idea of the noble art of ruling. The specifically educated, I would add even further.

Ah Darling, I am always so touched when you take my advice.

But “herd of sheep”? Dearest, you’ll have me cooking up your lamb chops wearing nothing but the tiniest of aprons, a true Morsus housefrau. Or perhaps Mansionfrau?

Then again, the idea of you, my darling husband, as the rebel rousing leader of the unwashed wizarding masses makes me drip with desire appeals to my wry sense of justice the macabre.

I was so aroused with curiosity that I simply had to read the offensive article.

Ah, that image of you shall be etched in my mind forever. Do tell when exactly you are planning on performing thusly.

My eternal gratitude for your acknowledgement of my altruistic impulses notwithstanding - I find that you have been lacking in the department of penmanship. Do make sure that you change your stationery, so as to avoid these atrocious ink-blotches. Unless you are finding yourself unable to speak forward in my face, which is flattering in itself. Do I scare you so much?

Darling, you mistake me, as usual. Lost too many brain cells to absinthe? Or were your eyes still covered with brown?

It’s flock darling, but do “herd” as many lambs to the slaughter as you can, my dear. Only the most select should become our own “chops”.

Sadly, darling, I’ve seen all your best acts and they’re nothing to fear. As to my penmanship, I do believe I have borrowed your quill. It seems not quite up to the task. wilting at the most inappropriate moments. Just like you.

I’ll replace it once I’m back in our own adorable love nest.

Perhaps- but I have so many of those cells that no imaginable amount of absinthe would do so much as scratch the surface of my genius. As you obediently know.

Ah, but of course, forgive my lack of knowledge of the provincial terms. Flocks and herds are much the same to me. How adorable, cara - I never knew you were so well informed as to the ways of the rustic.

Well, then, make sure you do replace it with an unused one. Be careful with my quills though, darling - they may be poisoned against acts of intrusion upon my privacy.

It's better than Potter's ridiculous petition, anyway.

Maybe the next time we feel the need to rant, we should co-write. You can bring the inflated eloquence and I'll supply the sarcasm and foul language.

Private to Pansy

[morsus_et_mors]

When has Potter ever done anything that's not ridiculous?

You've a perfect thinking, Pansy. We must definitely collaborate. Maybe even write an acidic response letter to the Prophet full of classy vitriol.

If this involves a violent mutiny, I'm in.

You and I should start up an elite anti-Ministry club. With a plethora of violence provided, of course.
