I do not often use these journals for non-office related manners, but the tone of the discourse re: the candidates for Minister of Magic has disturbed me slightly. As the announcement draws nigh, much has been made of blood status - understandable, considering the political climate - and often at the cost of discussing other important issues. As the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, I would like to publicly remind all witches and wizards, regardless of purity, that we are living in a time of war. This means that all witches and wizards, regardless of purity, should at the very least have some vested interest in their national security. This includes considering political candidates not by their blood status alone, but also by the quality of their political experience and their potential for military strategy, bureaucratic efficiency, interdepartmental cooperation, and fostering unity within the nation.
To say any more than this could be construed as advocating one candidate over the other, which is by no means my goal. However, I would urge you to keep these interests in mind when the announcement of who has earned the office is released before going into fits and giving my office more petty cases to deal with expressing concerns one way or the other about the blood status of our future Minister.
There will always be political and purity differences between us, and there is no hope for pleasing everyone. What is truly important is that we have a leader who is capable of leading a divided nation in a time of great uncertainty, and that we are able to unite behind this leader, instead of allowing blood lines to divide us. Neither Crook nor Flint is pro-Death Eater. I daresay that, with that established, it is now appropriate to move on to more relevant issues than the lineage of our leaders. |

Warded to the DMLE.I cannot leave you people alone for five minutes, can I?
Yaxley, you have the honor of both filing the excessive amounts of paperwork Auror Dawlish instructed Miss Meliflua to fill out and handling her case, which I suspect will not amount to anything more than a formal apology and a promise to keep an eye out for such behaviour in the future. The rest of the individuals involved will be dealt with personally. I suspect this issue will not be brought up on a department-wide level again, unless I elect to have Auror Dawlish lead some sort of seminar on proper journal behaviour and reportable offenses. I do hope that no one will give me a reason to require such a seminar in the future.
And yes, my office is still quarantined. I don't think I'm contagious but frankly I like you better when I'm not around you
Warded to Mary MacDonald.This is the busiest our offices have been in quite some time. Do you really have nothing better to do than cause trouble and start petty feuds with Pureblood ladies? You're as bad as Oliver Warded to Sherlock Savage.You're a logical lad, Auror Trainee Savage. As such, I expect a fully logical explanation for your behaviour, beginning with your irresponsible conduct on the journals and ending with your irresponsible report of petty teenage gossip to the DMLE. If you could touch on your irresponsible relationship with Miss MacDonald somewhere in there, I would be greatly appreciative. |

Warded to the DMLE.As some of you may have noticed, I was absent from work today. This is because I've succumbed to the disease currently being spread around the department.
I will be at work tomorrow morning. Please note that my office is quarantined until further notice. Warded Private.This is clearly karmic retribution for going out with Moody for drinks. This is why I hate fun |

Pity Fancourt couldn't have hung on for just a few years more, as my odds at the position improve vastly during wartime. Ah, well. Neither candidate is spectacularly young, and it's certainly not out of the question that Crook, if appointed, would be a particularly strong target for Death Eaters. Perhaps he'd be terrorized out of office as well?
It would be so wonderfully nice to have a Pureblood in office, I must say; particularly one who hasn't already talked my ear off about his idiotic plan to combat the Death Eaters. For Salazar's sake, Crook works with transportation. How can a man with such appallingly untreated male pattern baldness be trusted with national security?
Warded to the DMLE.I know such personal questions are not generally in my repertoire, but indulge me; how many of you aren't currently on sick leave? And for those of you who are, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that there is a predetermined amount of time that you may take off sick before your pay is docked, as stipulated in your individual contracts. |

Warded to Alastor Moody.How has Savage been holding up in training? Not another Dawlish, is he? |
