Although these journals are a part of the public record, I would like to reiterate that my comments in them are essentially personal. That is, what I say here reflects my thoughts stripped of anything constituting an Official Statement from the Office of the Minister for Magic

[jmff]

And what will happen to Terry if the law passes?

[minister_lupin]

I don't believe it will pass, but those of us against it are doing the best we can to cripple it in case the worst should happen. One of the issues on the table is the validity of the imprisonments: They're not at all legal under current statutes, and prisoners cannot be held retroactively accountable. Terry will be released.

[jmff]

I hope you're right, sir. I miss having him home.

[minister_lupin]

I know the feeling.

[aquavirius]

They wouldn't confiscate keys, would they? I think I've just lost it.

[minister_lupin]

Depending on what the key was, they might, Miss Lovegood.

[aquavirius]

Just a key. I think. It might be posessed by a malignant sprite, though. I always seem to have lost it.

[pottersfield]

They've gone too far now--too far for any reasonable wizard or witch to believe this is really a "conservation" act.

Thanks for everything you do. I know you're probably exhausted.

[minister_lupin]

They've also got a tremendous power base from which to draw, reasonable witches and wizards be damned. But then so do we in a certain sense.

And it's not so exhausting that we can't make time for lunch this week. You'll be doing me the favour if I'm perfectly honest.

[pottersfield]

Wednesday, per usual?

[minister_lupin]

I'm looking forward to it.

[tonksadora]

You've done so much for me in the past, Remus, it's the least I could do.

This bill better not pass. It would ruin so much.

[minister_lupin]

Your efforts are having an enormous impact.

Would you stop by my cottage for tea next Sunday?

[tonksadora]

I would love to. Would you like me to bring anything?

[minister_lupin]

The most shocking hair colours you can manage in every length and permutation you can think of. It'll be refreshing after a week of grim old wizards with trim grey thatches.
