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.

Re: Private Message to Dominic Selwyn

Then he must be Bartholomew's boy. Pity - though not, one might conclude, rather surprising.

I don't think he and Ned were great friends, anyway. The family are all rather over-dramatic.

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.

Massopust's suspicions were frankly rather puzzling. Weasley doesn't even have access to the private messages, as Massopust knows perfectly well considering he was the one who made the list of who should have access! He should have realised from the outset the man could have had nothing to do with this. Questioning him was a complete waste of time.

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.
