For any who might be interested, we have an opening in Broom Regulation Control as of 2pm today. The posting should be up tomorrow for a new Magical Bristle Evaluator, whose job it would be to examine examples from new lines of brooms or ones that have received a number of complaints, and evaluate the charms upon them for any deviation from Ministry regulations.

Candidates must have received a minimum of Exceeds Expecations on all OWLs and NEWTs, particularly Charms and Transfiguration, be capable of working independently, be willing to work in a high pressure environment, know how to work according to deadlines, and most importantly, not keep brooms for their own personal use in order to win money in pick-up games (yes, I mean you Harold, and the rest of your things, which you forgot to pack up, are in a box by the door - please don't let it hit you on your way out).

Thank you, and I look forward to all incoming applications.

Hrm, is that what your family thinks? Ron wasn't particularly funny, I don't know Ginny that well, and your twin brothers were more bullies than humourous.

I think it sends the right message. You're serious about the work you do, and if someone is going to piss off with your brooms, they're not worthy to work for you. Only delivered in a much more hilarious manner.

	Could I have all of that etched in writing for posterity? Perhaps to be referenced at a future Weasley dinner at the most embarrassing moment possible for my siblings? Thank you. In all honesty, I do not make such examples lightly. And there you go again - I thought I assured you I have no sense of humour. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll cross-stitch it for you. No, I think it's useful. Shame the people who misbehave in such an egregious manner and then the next person won't misbehave. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm certain my mother would appreciate the artistry, as she has done quite a bit of cross-stitching herself. It's a shame it's necessary. I would much rather be generous to my employees, but with our recent past, I cannot tolerate any misuse of a position under my purview. As the expression goes, fool me once...

	I'll have it delivered to your Department when I've finished. ... and you're more clever than I am? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you quite kindly, I look forward to hanging it in my office. Now if only I could obtain one that says Percy is always right. ... fool me twice, and apparently I need to reevaluate my life choices. You turn a clever turn of phrase, madame. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That I cannot help you with. Perhaps you could commission it. One would think one fooling would be enough for that, no? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hear Dean Thomas is an accomplished artist, perhaps he could do it justice. It depends upon the life choices - some of us take several foolings before we finally learn our lesson, but once we do, it's never unlearnt. (Reply to this) (Parent)
