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.

We can't keep losing people.
(Yes. Recognise that it would be counterproductive to maim key personnel ourselves.)

I'm making a floo call to Rod later tonight. I believe he'll be more surprised than I was; let us hope that it makes him more accepting of what must come to pass.
I had thought to let you continue pursuit at your leisure, given the singular enjoyment you take from it, but I'm afraid the time for leisure is over.

Told her so myself. Last night. Suggested she run--which guarantees she won't.
We do need a meeting with Rod. Trust he'll see the necessity. And Tosha.
He's beside himself re. the mudblood, of course. (Do not relish telling him today's news.)
We're easy targets here in NL, those of us who work and keep to routines of any kind. No matter how careful we are to vary our routes and to protect our flanks. Easy relative to the phoenixes, holed up in their fortress with no work, no routines. They can spend all their time planning attacks and plotting ambushes. We, meanwhile, have a country to run.
Need to consider new ways to draw them into traps. Need to eliminate their offence. Thin their chief wands.
Also could revisit the possibilities re. a stealth attack on the castle.

Don't worry, Barty. I'll let you watch.
Perhaps you can even participate.
As for Tosha, he is in a prime position to do great good for us if he could be trusted to follow through and not waiver.
We know their methods, we know which traps they are most likely to tip into. It's a matter of delivery and execution, both of which must be done flawlessly.
They have doubtless prepared for castle attack, but drawing them away so that the castle is left vulnerable is a possibility to explore.

As for Tosha, yes. If.

I'll be done with Rod by midnight and require that a pair of prisoners be brought to me by then - those least likely to be missed.

Admit to having had reservations about a Minister with his own unit of elite wands. Proved their worth today, though. Credit Rowle with showing cooperative.
The clearest sign that you're steering a new course--and successfully so--is the cooperation across units. How far have we come from Fudge's incompetence and Srimgeour's/Yaxley's/Mulciber's intransigence?
