You know, there are some days I'd just... really love to erase. I – damn it.

[Warded to Cora Cornerstone]

I'm so sorry, honey. I know that doesn't do a damn thing to make you feel better and I know you have more important things to do than read the journal network right now, but I am so incredibly sorry. If there's anything you or your family need right now, don't hesitate to ask. I'll do whatever I can.

You know, I was going to say the Ministry food fight was unexpected, but the given the setting, that might not be accurate. Still, I don't think this was the message anyone was going for; it's a shame the fight might overshadow the topic of fair wages. Good luck to everyone who got caught in the middle; here's hoping the stains come out without too much trouble.

[Warded to Hope Burbage]

I just heard I can't believe they thought

You okay, honey?

Congratulations to everyone for making it through another April Fools. May the dye be temporary, the residual discomfort brief, and the memories well-documented. I will admit the malfunctioning wards were pretty surprising, but it looks like people came around and got into the spirit of the day while it lasted. Still, I'm sure everyone's relieved to have them back.

[Warded to Penelope Diggory]

No one has ever accused me seeing a segue I didn't like. Happy Belated Birthday, Penny! I swear I didn't forget. I hope you had a great time yesterday; I expect that husband of yours to go all out. I was thinking if you had a free afternoon sometime this week (or next), I could take you out for lunch. Cedric and Laurel are always welcome, if you want to bring them along.

[/ward]

You know, I feel like I've had better days.

My sincerest thanks to everyone who helped tonight. Sorry if I ye My thoughts and prayers are with everyone caught in the attacks on the WWN and Daily Prophet earlier today. I wish everyone the speediest of recoveries.

[Warded to Daily Prophet employees]

Everyone still on their feet?

[Warded to Connie Moody & John Dawlish]

This has got to stop happening.

Look, I realize that you two are probably fine, I realize that you will probably continue to be fine, and I realize that you very well might be off doing much more important things than checking the journals and reassuring your friends that you're absolutely fine, but if you could drop me a note when you get a chance, that would be much appreciated.

[/ward]

[Warded to Wei, Edward, Ashley, and Doris]

Look, if you guys need anything? Or your families do? Say the word and I'll do whatever I can to help. Hopefully they're just looking to get some more attention by making such a bold statement, but be careful. I'll see you at the office.

[Warded to Simon Greene, Brutus Scrimgeour, and Aaron Wagtail]

Oh, hey, guess whose names I heard on our favourite WWN broadcast today. Stay safe and keep in touch, please.

[/Ward]

I hope to high hell have a feeling there are a few people kicking themselves over that advert in the Prophet today. I doubt anyone needs this much excitement in their lives.

Ah, in related news, I hope that everyone involved in the accident on Friday is enjoying a speedy recovery and for those who aren't so fortunate, my thoughts and sympathies are with you and your families.

[Warded to Daily Prophet employees]

Here's to that just being a glaring oversight and a very... very unfortunate coincidence. I'd be surprised if we won't be publishing an apology in tomorrow's paper. Anyone else need a drink?
