One can find out such interesting information if they vary their routine for even five minutes. Granted, I am a man who enjoys structure and order, but when your Instructor owls to say 'get to my office as soon as possible' you do not argue. Imagine my surprise when I arrived at Mungo's to see my brother in the lobby with severe burns along his face. Perhaps that will teach him not to experiment with Mum's potions.

On the off chance my owl is not yet accustomed to delivering in a timely manner, I am taking a vacation day to catch up on sleep. The chairs at St. Mungo's are hardly suitable beds.

Minor problems concerning the safety of our Minister aside, I have complete confidence in the progress our government is making. Who knows? One day parents might even be able to let their children run free down Diagon Alley again. Until that time, I shall sit here in my cozy office and discern the cracks in the ceiling. One looks oddly similar to Nessie.

We are two months into the new year. Time moves so slowly that it seems like an age has passed since the traitors attempted to turn our government inside out with their treacherous deception. Perhaps my mind is blending the past with the more recent attack by foreign terrorists on an innocent building constructed for the purpose of education and learning. I visited Hogsmeade recently to purchase a sack of owl pellets for Archimedes. In truth I was merely curious about the damage sustained to the library and surrounding structures. It is devastating to say the least; devastating, but not without hope of reconstruction.

I never much bothered to have a standpoint on this world in which I walk. Heal a person and get them on with their life; that is my purpose. Perhaps I should be doing more. These terrorists need to and will be stopped. I have faith in our new Minister. Who better to lead the country than a man who has personally witnessed the injustices our faulty government let good people suffer under? For that matter, who better to support him than those who are tired of watching their friends and neighbors suffer at the hands of petty criminals.

It is a sad day when innocents are needlessly destroyed to prove a point. If you will not think of the children, then at least think of the literature.

Not to sound 'lippy', but we never did set a regime for when and what I should be reporting to you. Come to think of it, should I be reporting to you, or someone else in our band of outlaws?

How is your weekend going, Auror?

[Warded to Leon]
There seems to be a fair few unrecognisable faces around the office since we re-opened. Do you have any idea who they are?

Tinworth for Minister. The concept could catch on.

The identification cards are quite lovely. My photograph keeps glaring at me.

Have you gone to register for an Identification Card?

Attention All Inhabitants. The following is a mandatory form to be filled out immediately for the new records (which will be kept in a secure location). If the lassies and I are going to continue treating you, then we will need to know the essential information of your treatment histories. This prevents the need to memorise your specific ailments which could prove counter-productive to the cause should one of us be captured. Please fill out the form to the best of your ability. If you require assistance, I will be at the loch tonight to help fill in the blanks.

Happy birthday to me

[Warded to the Longbottoms and Rufus]
St. Mungo's is in a lockdown. All injured patients are being sedated and detained.

The man we are healing is stable but has no tags and will need to be identified. He should be safe enough to transport within the half hour.

A lovely night for a stroll along the loch lake.

Today I went out and bought a 100 piece puzzle set. The urge to put together several separated parts was just too overwhelming.

[Warded to Dedalus, Nik, Beth Hestia, Kate, Be Rufus]
My parents gifted me an owl this year. So far his name is 'bird', 'feathers', or 'oiy, you!'. Since I am so terrible at naming the poor creature, suggestions would be welcomed.

[Warded to Hr Frobisher]

There was a strange owl in my flat this evening. He brought an odd package.

[Warded to DMLE blokes and Dedalus]
I find myself in the need of a gift for a lassie. Considering the distinct lack of women in my life, I am stumped on how to proceed. She gifted a mug and cocoa. With biscuits.

Opinions.
[/ward]

Ah, the holidays! A time of gift giving and merriment. The season for a man to open his pouch and proceed to dump all his gold on the counters of Diagon Alley to keep the good shopkeeps in the black for the start of the new year.

Do not expect me to be joining in.

[Warded Private]
If the apple is the fruit of the devil then mistletoe is the sprig!

Mum would like me to bring a friend to holiday dinner this year. Why? Is she finally going to start pressuring me to find 'the right bird' like she has been with Cael? Or is she just worried because I never go anywhere but the office and home. I enjoy the office and home. There will be time for celebrations when I'm older.

And then there's this New Years gala. Attending the Malfoy Masquerade was hardly worth the trouble, which is exactly why I did not attend. Precious galleons being thrown away on a costume for a dance. It's pointless! I wonder if Healer Frob

THIS IS A WAR, BRITAIN! People are dying because of their own stupidity and yet all you want is to waste away your savings on some frivolous luxuries.
