Two memos at once? Jacob read the first one over carefully, adding parchment to his new folder for the meeting. As for the second...Jacob groaned. Ms. Taylor won? This was a slight cause for worry.

As bid, Jacob made copies of both notices, sending a set to each employee, posting a set on the front board, and securing the originals to his door.

"Everyone, could I have your attention please?" Jacob called out to his Division as the memos swirled into each cubicle. "These memo's outline two new developments. The first involves the recent Minister of Magic election. The second will be explained more fully at a meeting that I hope you all attend."

A few days later, Jacob was back in his office, slowly twisting back and forth in his levitating chair. With a drummer's precision, he tapped his quill on the parchment in front of him. The notes on school transfers were to his left, a new mystery novel to his right. The book was way too distracting - Jacob Banished it to a drawer with a wave of his wand. His mug of tea was in easy reach directly in the center of his desk. That was a temptation Jacob would give into - he took several long sips before he had an inspiration.

Brushing the notes aside, Jacob quickly scrawled a message on the blank parchment. A simple wand wave resulted in a paper airplane, and with a few murmured words Jacob sent it on its way.

NOW he could work. Taking a fresh parchment and his notes, Jacob detailed tentative survey ideas with his quill.
