Ministry Makes New Hire in Light of Obliviator Head Scandal By Narcissa Malfoy In Minster’s Thicknesse’s continued efforts to rehabilitate the Ministry in the wake of the Fudge administration, he’s recently hired seasoned former obliviator Rabastan Lestrange to replace Obliviator Head Nikonor Langarm, who was let go after recently being caught obliviating Muggles without cause. The Daily Prophet joins Obliviator Lestrange in his new office. Narcissa Malfoy: It must be strange being back in the Ministry after so many years away. Rabastan Lestrange: It’s strange, yes, but it hasn’t been a difficult adjustment. The Ministry has gone through several changes since 2001, but there are still a few familiar faces in the office. That’s helped a great deal, although I should note that the entire team has been very welcoming. This would be a much more difficult process if I didn’t have their unconditional support. NM: What are your plans for the Obliviator Headquarters? Especially to restore Wizarding Britain’s faith in light of Obliviator Head Langarm’s gross misuse of power. RL: Concealing our world from the non-magical community is of paramount importance. Therefore, our top priority is enforcing the Statute of Secrecy and ensuring our continued protection against muggles. As for restoring trust, transparency is the watchword of the office. Langarm’s actions were shameful. Transparent leadership is the key to fostering a culture of trust between the public and the Ministry. If any member of the public has a concern about this office, I will personally hear them out. NM: What would you say to someone who felt you undeserving of your new position considering your stay in Azkaban? RL: People are entitled to their opinions. Sceptics are more than welcome to come to my office so we can discuss this in person. NM: It’s a very well-decorated office. RL: That’s a signed page from 1961’s Auror Adventures #2. NM: That’s nice. So, Obliviator Lestrange, do you feel any lingering resentment towards the Department of Magical Law Enforcement? RL: There’s no resentment at all on my part, but I know the feeling isn’t mutual. It’s troubling that the DMLE is hesitant to cooperate with forward thinking Ministry policies, like new appointments and the Muggleborn Registration Committee. NM: Do you think you’ll work well with the DMLE? Or, between the two of us, do you think more change is on the horizon for that particular department? RL: I believe there needs to be a complete overhaul from the top down. Yaxley is brilliant. But the Aurors are following their Head’s example, and Robards doesn’t seem at all committed to this new administration. NM: It’s very troubling. Head Auror Robards could really take a page from your book. He doesn’t seem open to discussion at all. In fact, one of my sources in the Ministry claimed he was harassing Madam Umbridge over a gift she’d received. That doesn’t seem like Auror jurisdiction to me. What do you make of that? RL: I think Head Auror Robards would be better off in a different department. If I’m not mistaken, they could use a few more men over in the Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee. NM: I’m sure he’d be much happier there. Speaking of sources, though, I understand there’s a nasty rumour going about regarding your stealing a child. Would you like to set the record straight? RL: That rumour was started by a werewolf with a grudge. I assure you, I’m not in possession of a child. NM: Of course. Well, thank you for joining us. Is there anything else you’d like to say to our readers? RL: I’m no Langarm. With a Lestrange, you can expect honesty, diligence, and zeal. I will do my level best to restore your faith in the Obliviators. |
