DEPARTMENT RESHUFFLE BACK ON TRACK
Derwent Skirmish - DP London
LONDON - Restructuring of the Ministry started up again today after being put on hold following the Death Eater attacks on muggle London two weeks ago. Minister for Magic Rodolphus Lestrange's cabinet quickly wrapped up the Department of Magical Games and Sports, and are now starting work on the Department of International Cooperation, where Minister Lestrange started his career in 1968.
"I think that the [DIMC] will be somewhat difficult, as I worked within it for such a long period of time, but there are still aspects that need improvement," said Minister Lestrange. "Hopefully we will be able to make it more effective in how it serves the Ministry at home and abroad."
The Department of Magical Games and Sports did not see much of a change--only the Official Gobstones Club was removed as an official government organization. Of the decision, Minister Lestrange remarked that, "The Ministry has far better use for gold in magical entertainment than funding the Official Gobstones Club. With the combined time and energy that goes into the British and Irish Quidditch Leagues, and our contributions to the World Cup, Quidditch proves to be a far more demanding and useful venture."
Following the Department of International Cooperation will be the the Department of Magical Transportation.
