Hello Ministry workers...
Talk about a crazy couple of months! Even if you don’t work in the Ministry,
I’m sure you heard by now how the Ministry threw a virtual temper tantrum, locking all the workers out of the Ministry building and forcing them out into Muggle London. How embarrassing. While the reason behind the lockout is still under investigation, many people have their own theories about what happened to cause the lockout - and some are not keeping quiet about it.

The main gossip culprit? Gabriela Schultz, aka the former Magical Transportation Department Head. She was spotted trying to get information out of a very uncomfortable looking Aron Ashburry -Hawthrone, asking quite a few questions about her replacement, Cale Newell. Her displeasure over being replaced by the former Floo Pow worker was evident when she complained loudly about his abilities to her boyfriend (or wait, is it fiance now?) at FLorean’s a few weeks later. Yesh girl, put your claws away, or at least keep it down!

What exactly is Miss Schultz planning? Is it innocent gossip, or does the shrewd lady have something sinister hidden up her sleeve? Word is that she was even seen changing the nameplate on Cale’s door to HER name - and the curly haired department head is nowhere to be seen. What is going on here? Has someone staged a hostile takeover? Where is Anna Greingoth’s husband? Off getting a new rabbit fur toupee, or possibly even chained up in Gabi’s apartment? Remember Miss Schultz, YOU left voluntarily to be with your boy toy, lets hope you aren’t TOO mean to the loveable former Gryffindor...

In the meantime, the rest of the Ministry is running around trying to clean up after Emily Browne and her team of workers literally blew a HOLE in the wall to get back into the Ministry. We knew she loved her job and everyone wanted to get back in, but that’s a BIT much don’t you agree? To make things even worse, all the magic seems to have virtually disappeared in all the work areas we’ve poked around in. Guess we’ll be doing things the muggle way for a while...this could either be hilarious or a complete and total disaster. Fingers crossed its both!

Until next time,
