On the fourteenth day of this month, there shall be a wizarding referendum to decide whether or not to repeal Article 754 of the Bill of Criminal Rights, 1923. This article prohibits the use of Unforgivable curses on criminals during interrogation, a sentence which would currently send our hardworking Aurors to Azkaban for life. Further information will be published in all British wizarding media this evening.

I have had 10 hours sleep over the past month. I have a meeting with the Bulgarian Ambassador and the Minister of Japan in an hour. Someone bring me coffee, or I swear to Merlin I will fall asleep and drool all over these very important documents.

A New Year's note from the Minister of Magic

If you'd all like to stop murdering each other in cold blood and play nice this year, it would be very much appreciated. We at the Ministry have had quite enough of this nonsense.

Voldemort, if you could hand yourself in, too, that'd be nice.

Yours sincerely,
Millicent Bagnold.

...Would someone care to explain to me why I have the editor of The Daily Prophet in my office with a photographer?
NOW, WOULD BE NICE. I've had to restrain my bodyguard aurors from hurting them because I know they'll get accused of some horrible deed.

Until he has been removed from the premises, I'm going to go sit in the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office with my aurors. Someone bring me a cup of tea.

Current Mood: angry

Would you all kindly refrain from butchering diplomats?

If you light another fire, I'll just have to strategically place buckets full of water across the city.

We are doing everything in our power to find the arsonists behind the Diagon Alley fire, and rest assured, they will be brought to justice.

Has anyone seen my hat?

The next person who leaves dungbombs in my offices will be fired without question. The next person who leaves threatening messages in my pigeon hole will be prosecuted. Anyone who has the balls to throw eggs at me will be rewarded with a fist to the face, courtesy of yours truly.
