[Private to Kingsley Shacklebolt]
Minister Shacklebolt,
Do you have 10-15 minutes you can spare today? I need to either talk to you or... I don't know. Maybe messages will be enough.

I'll leave that up to you. You know my door is always open, but I'm not above using the messaging system.

Date: 2013-04-12 03:55 pm (UTC)Fair enough, Kingsley, I guess it was just easier to fall back into old routine.
It's concerning the arrival scheduled for noon on April 14th: has everyone on that arrival been checked thoroughly? Physically as well as background, I mean.

Date: 2013-04-12 04:06 pm (UTC)I'd like to think we're friends, not just colleagues, Ali.
I pulled the records for the 14th. We weren't given much. Just names and approval codes. I only skimmed it briefly. Let's see, yes, everything looks fine. Wait. There's a Spinnet on this list. Any relation?
no subject
Date: 2013-04-12 04:13 pm (UTC)I'd like to think so, too. It was just easier to deal with this professionally than personally.
Helena Elizabeth Spinnet, born Sept. 25 1951, Muggle, widow, mother of 3, believed deceased... she's my mum.
We're sure it's her, not someone posing as her?
no subject
Date: 2013-04-12 04:37 pm (UTC)There's nothing here about her being in poor health. Physical information just reads healthy.
You know as well as I do how tight the screening requirements have been, Ali. Do you have reason to think this is an imposter? If so, I'll try to alert the Ministry.

Date: 2013-04-12 05:43 pm (UTC)She's always been in perfect health. Hardly ever caught even the sniffles.
I do know the requirements. I don't know, it's just... she stayed behind when me and my brother came here because she didn't want to try and start a new life and she seemed firm in her decision. I left with the impression that she wasn't going to attempt survival back there.
It just makes me wonder.

Date: 2013-04-15 06:12 pm (UTC)People change their minds all the time, Ali.

Date: 2013-04-15 08:04 pm (UTC)I know. I'm just surprised at this change of mind. Very surprised. Pleasantly, too.
It changes a lot.
