*raises both eyebrows*
For the Daily Prophet employees, too? Crouch, that smacks of controlling the press, when we're supposed to have freedom of speech, don't you think?

Hee, what a wonderfully Crouchian thing to devise for an oath! :D

*looks annoyed, surprised and suspicious all at once*

This is a war Mr Prewett! Special circumstances apply. Surely you're not to naive to appreciate that.

Hee! Thanks!
But really, what do they do when there's a war on?!

*calmly*
I understand that you want to sacrifice what we should be fighting for for the sake of security. It's been done before, and it has never led to anything good.

*looks at the bottom of the list again, smiling briefly as he takes in the words*
The Ministry official assigned with putting this to the goblins, could he or she be persuaded to share the memory? I'm sure the Prophet would pay a good deal of gold for such an entertaining thing to publish. Anyone collecting insults should have a field day.

How do you mean? :)

What we are fighting for sir, is our lives. Some sacrifices must be made. And if that means the recipe section of the Prophet has to be eliminated for the time being, people will just have to make allowances. *humphs*

Yes well, I know it won't be easy, but since they are in charge of our money, I believe some effort should be made to assure us of their loyalty.

Surely they had to censor what was printed during the wars. It wouldn't make sense for them not to really.
