The Renegade has been an exciting success!

But, unfortunately, that means that I've completely run out of parchment. If anyone has any old school notes or anything that I can nick from you, that would be brill. I don't exactly have the funding to go out and buy new parchment stupid fucking, and my colleague better not have plans of doing just that, because he has a baby fund to start up.


To quote a (slightly altered) passage from William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar...
Friends, Wizards, Countrymen, lend me your parchment! I come to bury the Ministry, not to praise it! The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with the Ministry!

I think Shakespeare was a wizard, to be honest.

And obviously he was a muggleborn, because that's the best type of wizard.

Oh, obviously. All the man did was talk about witch craft and toiling over cauldrons, how could he possibly describe that so well if he hadn't experienced it first hand?

Hrm, good point. I'll have to ask mum and dad what they think of that.

Sticking it to the

Er, well. I don't know if I can really do it justice, describing it. Maybe I can send you a copy, though?

That's all right. If you can't explain it I'm not sure if it's worth the time.

Let me rephrase that: I don't think I can describe it in words that you'd appreciate. Better?

It's been rather busy around here, I'll try to make some time to read your attempt at a paper.

Don't even bothe

Maybe if they hadn't been impossible towards a few of their workers, it wouldn't be so bloody busy. Or if they actually made an attempt at producing unbiased journalism.

I don't write th--- No, I think it's all the news that's been happening. It is what a newspaper thrives off of, after all.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize that kissing the Ministry's metaphorical arse counted as reporting the news. My mistake.

Yes, because that's all we write about.

And it's not my fault that your employer is prejudiced against wizards and witches of muggle descent. They're only reporting the propaganda BULLSHIT that the Ministry is feeding them, and from the looks of it everyone left there is just peachy with that.

We've been recycling all of the parchment used for the project!

I'll do my best to ask around about extra parchment. I enjoyed your first issue.

Thank you, Remus! We appreciate the sentiments.

How have you been? I don't think I've chatted with you for quite some time.
