So...I understand it's been an interesting morning in your department.

What have you heard? Who's replacing Yaxley?

'Interesting morning,' yeah, that's one way to put it.

Hadn't you heard the rumour about Braithewaite?

[alt_bill]

I had, actually. I was hoping that you might confirm it for me.

[alt_rachel]

Ah, no.

Braithewaite had the support of the various department heads within MLE, but it turns out Cadmus Mulciber had the support that counts, if you follow my drift.

[alt_bill]

Good god. Our Lord named him, you mean? He's confirmed?

Well, that'll throw the kneazle in with the pixies, and no mistake.

[alt_bill]

At least my boss should be happy at the news.

[alt_rachel]

Yes, Our Lord named him. He's already moving into the office.

[alt_rachel]

Yes.

What was he -- did he seem to be up to anything, yesterday?

[alt_bill]

Nothing particularly spectacular. Standing over me muttering threats while I was doing reports, that sort of thing.

He did spend an hour toward the end of the day closeted in his office on a floo call though, I think. I don't know what it was about.

[alt_bill]

Huh. Interesting.

Thanks.
