I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the production last night. Despite the few mishaps that occurred (as one had to expect given the short rehearsal time the cast had), it was an enjoyable and enlightening production.

I am glad to see the Ministry took the petition seriously, though I have heard many complaints about the new system. It seems that no matter what we do, people are always going to find something to complain about.

I've still managed to avoid the Dragon Pox; despite what the Prophet reports, I am still going to remain vigilant. A man of my age cannot take too many chances, after all.

Attention Employees of the Ministry for Magic:
Circulating in every office (via secretary, not owl) is a petition for the Ministry to undertake researching and implementing a new method of interoffice memorandum delivery. I encourage you all to sign it and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to see me or ask any questions here in my journal.

I am afraid the colder weather causes my bones to stiffen as the seasons change. A curse for growing wiser with time, I suppose.

I apologize for my extended absences; I understand it must be frustrating to you that your liaison to the Dark Lord has been so infrequent, but believe me that my work across the Channel on the continent is just as pertinent and important for our Cause as what the Dark Lord is currently having us engaged in here.

This said, my work abroad is, for the most part, complete. I will still be making trips, but they will not be for such extended periods of time.

Upon my return, I have an urgent assignment that you must attend to immediately.

The following shoppes/establishments need to be cased and information gathered. Are they sympathetic to our Cause? Are they misguided and sympathetic to the mudblood filth? Every tiny bit of information you can gather must be done.

We will be split between the lower half of Diagon Alley and what is left of Tinworth. Respond here immediately to choose your assignments. If you do not respond by this evening, your assignments will be given to you with a bit of distaste on my part. You should be willing and able to perform tasks as I assign them.

Tinworth:

• Achilles’ General Goods - Alecto
• Bedley’s Used Books
• Fredericka’s Apothecary and Supplies
• Haggratt’s Quills and Spills
• Gingerbread House Treats - Alecto

Diagon Alley:

• 2nd Hand Brooms - myself
• Madam Malkin's
• Slug and Jigger’s Apothecary - Alecto
• Plinklettlet’s Junk Shop

If you have questions, ask them.

The death of Dieter Lestrange is both shocking and terribly sad. A classmate, housemate, and friend of mine, he truly was a good and decent man who wanted nothing more than good life for his wife and sons. To be struck down in such a way must make us all take a moment and reflect on the beauty of life, but how it can be snuffed out so quickly by those who are too irrational and radical in their ideals.

I offer my condolences to the Lestrange family; Dieter could not have been more proud of the legacy he left behind.

Before you go anywhere, before you do anything - especially something one could consider rash - you must consult me. This is from the Dark Lord himself, so I do not anticipate defiance. Your father will be avenged, but it must be in the best interest of the Cause.

With this in mind, I am at your disposal for whatever you may need.

I am well aware that we're all in bitter shock after receiving such a blow to the very core of our establishment. Cleapup must be exacting and hasty. Anything you may need from the office, you have at your disposal...

What in Merlin's name happened? It should have been routine

Spending so much time abroad has taught me much, though nothing more than knowing the strengths and weaknesses of where you come from, and use them to direct interactions where you are in that moment. You must understand that not everyone believes that you are correct and certain heritages magnify this fact. Take, for instance, the English and the French. I must choose my words and express my opinions ever so carefully in France, as a French person believes that the English is nothing more than the dirt underneath their high-fashion boots. Truthfully, I believe the case is true of most Englishmen when viewing the French as well, and so there is a diplomacy that must be reached if advancement is to be made between our two countries.

However, that is neither here nor there. I have spent the past three weeks in the Ukraine, where sentiments are much less varied and more open communication can be had. I return from Kiev with glad tidings that we were able to meet amicable immigration/emigration terms as well as visiting wizard visa standards.

{Warded to Inner Circle}
It appears much has happened since I left? There are many in the Ukraine who are sympathetic to our Cause and so the trip was much of a success, but I return to social turmoil.

Someone care to inform me of the cause of this distress so I do not have to troll through this drivel?
