Attention Ministry Staff (Protectorate Affairs Division)

[alt_selwyn]

It 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.

Chocolate, if you have any. Works as well for this sort of scare as it does when there've been Dementors about.

Or chamomile tea.

Any tea, in a pinch, but not too much if it's a full black blend you'd take for breakfast. What you want is something to settle your stomach and nerves, not anything that would wind you up further.

For a wonder, I actually have a Chocolate Frog in my desk. Ron sent it for my birthday. Thanks. It helped a bit with the shakes.

I've shut the door and managed to calm myself down a bit. I do have some tea and I'll get that brewed.

Nobody's getting a bloody thing done here this afternoon anyway.
