alt_billFor the first time, to my knowledge, a decision I made at work personally has led to a death. Two of them.
Two of the children from the South Hams camp that Mulciber ordered me to hand pick to work in the Sparkwell Mine have died in a rockfall.
Clarissa Penny and Jim Knox. They were eight and nine years old, respectively.
I was going to make this private to just Alice and Charlie, but bugger it all anyway.
Just a reminder to you lot at Hogwarts: this is what we do at the Ministry.

If any of the children were to fall ill, we might be able to sort out something on our end, but there's only so much we can do.

Shite.

I'm not saying that to excuse you, and I know you're going to be feeling guilty about it for a while, but don't forget where the blame really lies.
