Chapter five- new experiences
Alastor Medi Moody was used to plans having kinks. He was used to fixing those kinks as well. However the solutions he was used to providing with generally involved hitting things and surprising people. Gentile diplomacy was not his strong suit. That was his explanation. Also the Minister of Magic made lousy coffee cake.
"What do you want?" Moody grunted at the new Minister.
"I want you to do me a favor"
"What kind of favor?"
"Well you see Alastor; there is a very delicate situation at the feet of the ministry right now. I am of course referring to our new ministry of reproductive affairs."
"Of course you are," at least the cake wasn't stale Moody observed.
"There has been a problem, Alastor. While the majority of students married promptly as we expected…"
"A few of them are hiding out in the mountains, right?" Moody didn't like pauses "I heard there were hundreds. Not that I blame them but I'll get them back soon as you can say…"
"No, no," the Minister waved him down, "Those reports are false. That's just 'The Daily Prophet' trying to boost their readership again. Everyone who needed to register has registered."
"So then what is the bloody problem?" asked Moody through silted eyes.
"The 'bloody' problem, Alastor, is we have two registrations."
"But that means… and…" Moody did not want this job.
"Yes and you get to tell them"
Moody had an explanation of why he couldn't do this job but no one was listening.
