it's all about the valesco, thugs!

Apparently the healers at St. Mungo's don't want their rights back. Fine. FINE. When I reform these new laws, I'm going to include a clause that says 'All of the above applies to all who are not St. Mungo's healers who at one point or another made one Amelia Susan Bones stay overnight for no. good. reason.'

Think about that.

I'd like to speak up for myself and amend the Prophet in saying that not all of the Wizengamot was so enthused over these new provisions. I feel like I need to defend myself from being bunched in with my colleagues.

It's fucking bloody appalling, the kinds of things that get put before the Wizengamot these days. It makes me worry, really makes me worry that people would actually draft up bills like this, that would so blatantly defy the basic human rights of any group. That enough people would think it's okay that it would come before us to be taken seriously. Even moreso, that there would be so many people in the Wizengamot interested in seeing it pass through to law.

Anyone who would say that it's all just for the safety of the people is a downright liar. This is ridiculous, we aren't in the stone age anymore.

Alright, so I think it's safe to tell you all now, so! I'd like to make it known, officially (because that's how we Ministry folks do things), that Berkeley and I are going to be parents.

You all have about six months to prepare yourselves.

Okay, seriously? We have next to no food in this house. Well, we did, but--

I need food. I am starving.

I want ice cream. And maybe some potato chips. Peanut butter would be good too.
