Private message to Auror Skander Gauge

The first wave of reshuffling hit this morning. Corax Mulciber sent nearly everyone in Communications down to Personnel for re-assignment (he didn't sack them, which is interesting). That included Ned Pennifold, Ptolemy Baddock, and Virgil Crispin. (All of them are allies of Lucius Malfoy; it's not terribly surprising Mulciber wanted them in less sensitive positions.)

He's put Massopust back in charge of Education and Public Information, Plympton back in charge of Wizarding Communication. Along with some of the rest of the people who were replaced last month. I'm still trying to sort out names. He was particularly urgent about getting people on Journal Monitoring -- he pulled up some underlings, gave them a list of names to watch for, and set them at it.

I'll be down to give the rest of my report in person this afternoon.

Private message to Lucius Malfoy

Auror Gauge instructed me to send you the following notification:

Canis Mortus Est.

Private message to Bill Weasley

Dodging the curses so far this afternoon?

Right now I'm mostly just hoping that Mulciber remembers he's not supposed to take his irritation out on ME. (You lot are fair game, though. Sorry!)

Have you re-done the organisational charts yet? I need to see them when they're done. Though I'm starting to feel like what I really need is a score card.

Private message to Lana Sandoval-Pennifold

I'd say I hope you were having a less interesting day than me, but I'm pretty sure we're having the SAME interesting day. Unless you're out in the field -- are you? If you're here, you know this already, but journal monitoring (for the private messages, anyway) has been moved into the Auror division. WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FROM THE START. That leak to the gossip rags would never have happened if it had been us, just for starters.

Auror Crouch and Auror Lestrange came in while Mulciber was at lunch and hauled all his hand-picked people off to MLE for questioning.

You should have seen

1. The look on Plympton's face when he stood up and saw Auror Lestrange.
2. The look on Mulciber's face when he got back.

Admittedly I didn't get much of a chance to admire the second. The fact that he is not my boss and has no authority to curse me does not necessarily mean that he won't, so I took a quick look and got out of his way.

I'm supposed to try to find anything interesting I can about Plympton, Massopust and the rest.
