For those who missed this afternoon's announcement, Mr Mulciber is expected to be completely recovered from his slight accident in the field and we hope to see him back at work this coming Monday.

For those who have a meeting planned with him through the remainder of this week, check with me first, as I am going to be covering most of Mr Mulciber's planned meetings. If I inform you that the meeting has been moved or rescheduled, check with Mr Mulciber's clerk, Ms Mortynson, to get the revised time and location. Civil Infrastructure's department-wide meeting IS going forward this Friday, and the usual Friday deadlines for week-end memos and the division's roundup newsletter stays the same.

Reports are to be handed in on time and error-free. You know Mr Mulciber expects no less, and so I don't, either.

I have been working my way through your in-box and have knocked off ten to fifteen items. I don't know why Civil Infrastructure sends you budget numbers on a weekly basis unless their intention is to bury you in parchment. They should send it monthly like everyone else, and I have taken the liberty of informing them so.

Also: the text in the latest batch of draft pamphlets on Public Hygiene sent up by pamphlet editing in Wizarding Education are a big improvement, but they really need a new designer. Those colours are absolutely bilious.

A big improvement with the re-edit, and thank you for letting me see them. However: I think it's time the department considered allocating some galleons for re-design. The graphics are really not doing the text justice.

I had a suspicion you'd prefer to have the meeting held without Mr Mulciber presiding, yeah. Ccnsidering what he did to the person holding the gavel last time. All right. I can have those quarter budget profiles reviewed and signed off under my authority, and maybe we can ram them through before Monday. He may just demand to see them anyway when he gets back and then he'll make you go through your spreadsheets line by line and order you to make cuts. With a blood quill, no less. But it's worth a try.

Look, I don't care in the least that Jenny Lorcan's desk is six inches bigger than yours or whether the noise from the women's bog disrupts your concentration. I know perfectly well that the reason you want your office moved is so it's easier for you to flirt with that chap in squib affairs.

Request denied. And count yourself lucky that it's me turning you down, rather than our mutual boss. Mr Mulciber wouldn't tell he's annoyed by your complaints. He's show you.

I hope you are settling in all right. The work shouldn't be too difficult, although I know they're backed up, and so it may take you awhile to get to the bottom of your in-box.

The other new hire in your department, Graham MacAuliffe, starts next week, and then you should start to see things ease up a bit.

My lunches this week seem to be evaporating like water in a dragon's den, but if I can catch you some time this week, I do want to hand off a small potion bottle to you. It's very good for treatment of the symptoms of cruciatus aftermath. Severus developed it, and it's much better than anything you can buy on the market.

I mean, obviously, I hope very much you'll never need it. It's non-standard, and I don't think Mulciber would look kindly on people tempering the effects of his temper. So to speak. So if you keep in the office (which I'd suggest) you must make absolutely sure that no one else can find it. I can discuss possibilities for secreting it when I hand it off to you.

Right. Yeah, that would be good.

Could you tell me please whether you've had a chance to look through those files you took last night? I have to make sure they're returned to Mulciber's in-box.

I put them back in your in-box while you were at lunch. (Not surprising you didn't notice; there seemed to be rather a lot in there.)

Rumour has it Corax got hit with the Azein curse. St M's must have nearly had to re-grow his lungs from scratch, he's lucky he's alive. (I'll refrain from comment about whether WE'RE lucky...) He might be awake enough to bother you tomorrow, alas.
