Work has been an unremarkable drudge lately; more than ever, it seems all I have to look forward to on a daily basis is paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. I imagine much of the recent influx is likely due to the recent acquittal of Mr. Sirius Black. I myself was not present for the trial in question; indeed it seems there are very few who were, ( Read more... )

Well, this most unusual turn of events certainly has Fudge in a right state, the poor chap. Seems he's so pre-occupied lately that he's even forgotten to demean his subordinates for the past few days. Not that anyone's complaining, really. A busy Fudge is a good Fudge, as far as most people seem to be concerned. I myself got my work done before day ( Read more... )

Fudge seems to reckon I've gone barking mad, but since I can hardly explain the reason for my chipper moods, I suppose he'll just be left looking like he has been for quite some time-- like he has resigned to the fact that it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway.

Right.

I disappear for a few weeks, and all of a sudden my big brother's gotten married, I'm related to the Malfoys, and you've all gone bloody silent after a sudden burst of hormones.

Has the whole world gone mad??

At last, some delightful news to brighten my otherwise lacklustre week! Penelope informed me last night that she has obtained tickets for two to 'Quidditch: The Musical'! As you are presumably well-aware, this show has received rave reviews from both the Prophet and innumerable other sources, and has been sold-out completely for some time. Penny, ( Read more... )

I miss you dearly, Penelope Clearwater.

 Look at me, I'm keeping in touch with people. How exciting.

The aforesaid report seemed to go over well with Mr Fudge; after perusing it carefully, it was promptly handed over to Dobbs, who said, and I quote, that he would 'see what he could do'.

Now, as much as I detest speaking ill of my co-workers, I have to impart that Dobbs is without ( Read more... )
