alt_selwynIt is clear that someone who was entrusted with sensitive information and access has gossiped about it. This is absolutely unacceptable; we hold a position of great trust in the Protectorate, and that one of us has betrayed this trust is something I personally take extremely seriously.
We are undertaking a review of all logs to find the culprit. This will take some time, however, so I would like to invite the guilty party (or parties) to come to me privately to admit your wrongdoing. (Alternately, if you are aware of such gossip and know who has been spreading it, you may also come to me privately. If you have only a suspicion rather than strong evidence, this will be useful when we review the logs, as we will know where to start.) We will begin the audit of the logs in one hour.
If you wait for us to uncover your malfeasance in the audit, things will go very badly for you indeed. If you admit your unprofessional behaviour immediately, we will show far greater leniency.

Date: 2010-09-09 08:27 pm (UTC)The first had gossiped about some entirely unrelated matter. It was quite a bit less sensitive, as it happens, but still utterly unacceptable. I cruciated her along with Higgs but for a shorter time and a bit less fanfare, and I'm planning to demote her but not fire her outright.
The second, oh my. She HADN'T gossiped, so far as I could tell, merely had an attack of conscience about -- frankly, I'm not sure. She seemed to be terrified that possibly she'd talked in her sleep. She'll get no punishment, but I sent her off to St Mungo's for a once-over, I told her to ask the Healers for some dreamless sleep potion, and she'll be transfered to a less sensitive position, since it seems the stress of this one doesn't agree with her. I don't see much of a future for her at the Ministry, but time will tell.
As for Higgs, I think he made an excellent example to demonstrate why that girl was right to be worried. I expect the pubs near the Ministry will see some extra patronage tonight; I made sure everyone heard.

As to your other conquests: It is not surprising that his was not the only transgression. Better to discover who understand the true value of secrecy and who cannot.
So Massopust's suspicions were unfounded? Cornelius seemed to set store by them this morning.

Date: 2010-09-09 11:41 pm (UTC)I've set Massopust the task of overseeing the audits personally. A tedious task that should help him remember in the future which individuals he should be keeping an eye on. Which might well include Weasley under other circumstances, but not this time.
