Oh, for
Your son has seen fit to ward himself into his quarters, with an assist from Mrs Baylock and Tourneur.
Wailing that he doesn't want to go!
Who on earth told him? It wasn't you, was it?

WHAT is taking so long?
It's just one baby, and an early one at that.

Unit 3-S report from Penzance: Phoenixes are attempting to secure the location. Assembling advance strike teams to clear the way by the time of our departure.

Ravage came to me with intel regarding the rest of the Baddocks' whereabouts. Ensured credibility via legilimency - apparently one of the Baddock children wrote to a friend back in New London, saying they were "no longer in England" and had sailed from Penzance.
My evening schedule is full, but once I've taken my last meeting, I plan to Apparate to Penzance to inspect the status of the wards there for myself. I will only be gone for a short while. Tell absolute no one of my absence - not even Rowle. I will decide when and if he will get to share in the news, should it turn out to be auspicious.
If the wards are indeed passable, you should prepare yourselves to evacuate New London in short order.

What is the meaning of J. Montague's activity?
Did you authorise him to write Alice Longbottom? And if so, what for? And why was I not informed. In detail.
Get here and explain yourself at once.

Rod assures me that the L'Estrange floo system has been reconfigured and is back online. As of this morning we can say the same for the Palace system.
I'll need you in my office as soon as you are able. I have a temporary assignment for you that should not be inhibited by your delicate condition - provided you don't allow it to inhibit you.

From a purely intellectual level I understand why you are doing what you are doing. The motivation, the impulse, the satisfaction - if you've yet found any.
But you must stop. If this continues you threaten to do more damage to our cause in one fell swoop than Sirius Black himself. And you know I don't make that comparison lightly.
Stop now. Return to Buckingham so that we may continue discussion of exit strategies. Or lock yourself in Cottesmore and never show your face in court again, if that's what you prefer. Just bring this temper tantrum to an end.

Pull back and retreat to NL1 for debrief at once.
Your daughter/sister is in my Buckingham office. Her injuries have been healed and she is currently playing gobstones with my son.
I have an offer for you: the safe return of Ginny Weasley in return for my daughter.
Alice, I'm sure you will reject the idea out of hand. You've got much mileage out of Hydra's gifts, and it's plain that Ginny doesn't shoulder a role equal to Hydra's. To be frank: Ginny is more expendable to you than Hydra. Come to think of it, so was your own son.
Weasleys, you are left in the undesirable position of either convincing your leader to hand Hydra over, or finding a way to live with the knowledge that you left Ginny helpless, and in my hands.

Rowle and I have finalised the new salary model, just in time for July. He'll be making the announcement later this week. Any concerns should be directed to him.
With that out of the way, I'll see you in my office first thing in the morning. I expect performance reviews for all staff. No parchment-work necessary, just your thoughts on who is meeting expectations and who is not.
Last, between the two of us we must further strategise (both long and short term) how to prevent reoccurrence of today's events. Consult with Rod and Tosha may be required.

I'd like to follow up on your debriefing with Barty. My office, fifteen minutes.
Would also like a full report on the trainees who accompanied, so bring your notes.

I've got an updated list of Uncooperatives for you. Three restaurants (Mandalay, Hedgepig, Poppet); one Inn (Blue Mooncalf).
In addition to whatever measures you deem necessary, a 3% increase in operational tax strikes as appropriate. I'll let Crispin know first thing.
And how do you find my daughter this evening?
