alt_arthurFred and George, apparently Nicholas Towler was heartened by your conversation with him, because his application to my department is now in the works. He's scheduled to interview with me and a couple more of my coworkers in the next week.
Good thing, too, as we are both shorthanded, both here in Purity Control, and Muggle Domestication. Several people have been summarily sacked: Gweneth Hughes was one, from Purity Control, and William Wadcock from Muggle Domestication. No one's breathing a word to speculate whether it's because they might be involved with Dogstar. I think, instead, that they somehow ran afoul of the increased investigations from the D.I.R.R.T. initiative. Whether it's that they left documents about that were supposed to be locked up or were embezzling small amounts from the petty cash account, I have no idea. And several others have also announced their 'retirements,' retirements that have been a great surprise to the rest of us, given that they were fully expected to work another ten years or so.
It has everyone on edge, as you can imagine. And our regular work is backed up. People are dusting off the department protocol/regulation books and studying them avidly, to ensure that they don't somehow step a single toe out of line.
I'm trying to locate Terry Boot's file without actually asking anyone for it. Given Alecto and Amycus's almost simultaneous deaths, his legal status is currently uncertain. It would be best if we could head off any attempt to reassign him to a new owner. And I have the file, I do have ways to 'lose' it, which might also be helpful. Terry, do you recall which camp you were at when you were assigned to Amycus Carrow? Perhaps that might help me with the hunt.
I wonder if any investigation into Amycus' death might mean that someone at MLE has it. Minerva, have you been informed of anything about that, i.e., whether there has been an investigator assigned?
