Fudge has been fuming in Hopkirk's fire off and on the past hour.
And Bella's just had to pry Cadmus out of there. Apparently he wants Mafalda (and Bella) to believe that Corax was off-script today and that he himself was in no way behind it.
As for Cadmus, that fucking bastard ... let him think he has them convinced. No need for him to look over his shoulder unnecessarily.
How long until we require actual evidence? Met with an Auror assigned to Protectorate Affairs by Gauge - he specifically told her to offer her services to-day. If he has thrown in to us, she may be useful.
Yes. From our brief meeting it seemed she could take direction and would not fuss too badly.
Creative may be necessary but confident we can find enough wherever we need it to guarantee Azkaban.
Who was her successor - nevermind. Don't really care all that much.
Another thing. Need to speak to Ptolemy about ignoring my instruction to destroy the notes given a month ago. Lamont reported that Mulciber had them targetting which journals to read. Not surprising, of course. But Narcissa's was one.
As you interrogate, kindly make sure her privacy is still inviolate.
Yes. Using that angle in interrogation. Threats to Narcissa Malfoy's privacy are a priority in this department. Abuse of journals to threaten members of the Council. Abuse of journals to endanger Our Lord's most cherished servants and their families.
Will make that point with Baddock. Interviewing Crispin, Pennifold this afternoon, too, for whatever they might tell us about the coup they faced this morning.
Open to further suggestions re. chargeable offences, but have a list sufficient for the Wizengamot should they call for them sooner than later. Expect updates from Lamont as she has success.

Lamont. Know anything about her?

Best equipped trainee I've had, actually. Though maybe that's hindsight: Lamont looked good in comparison with the one that followed.
