Ember had a really great time yesterday. I can tell because she has not shut up about you since.

Look. I get that illegal potion use is serious business and all, but I don’t see how these searches are going to do much of anything. Seems like an invasion of privacy just so the Ministry can look like it’s doing something productive. Which is terribly shocking.

	Honestly. All this does is make us uppity and annoyed. And give them something to tell the public about how great at governing they are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did you see how Travers suddenly stopped talking to Wood? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I mean, I usually abruptly stop talking to Wood too, but yes, I get your point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not the lower echelons they don't. Just like the muggle civil service, they get a cushy job and do whatever it takes to stay there come hell or high water. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe we can humiliate them into leaving. I feel like that's their current plan of action with the players... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Naturally I can't say anything officially, but I wouldn't mind seeing some of them eat their words. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Surprise, they won't. Lockers are already subject to search if there's evidence to suggest anything might be in them. All this does is give the BIL an excuse to get in our things without evidence of wrongdoing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	likeafox_ 2017-07-10 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	Not to mention that they've still failed to clarify what items of suspicion are. How do I know I'm not going to somehow get suspended for tampons or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Not that I wouldn't put it past a man to find feminine hygiene products to be suspicious, but I'm not concerned about tampons. I am concerned about what else they might find "suspicious". They want transparency, but don't release even a partial list of banned or suspicious items. I am especially wary of this unknown list of "suspicious" items in light of the "random" searches of medics' offices.

	Right. Well the tampon thing was a joke. Sometimes my humour doesn't translate over journals, but any official touches my lady business in my locker and they'll have more to worry about than some paperwork. That being said, they're just trying to muck up trouble to make themselves look effective. Wear the white hats and all that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Of course they aren't going to do anything. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	likeafox_ 2017-07-11 02:23 am UTC (link)
	Of course not. They just like to put on a show. Drama queens, that bunch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't you know that's the whole point of the Ministry? To muck things up and spoil fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yep, it's like they've never done it before so they might as well stick a toe in and see what bites. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	likeafox_ 2017-07-11 02:25 am UTC (link)
	This isn't sticking in a toe. This is ham fisting the entire bloody river hoping that they'll catch something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stint 2017-07-11 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	Ham fisting. That's a visual I never thought I'd want. Still slightly convinced I don't want it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Meaghan and Pip likeafox_ 2017-07-11 02:41 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, yeah. Like anyone doesn't like you better. Also, she said please at the dinner table tonight and I dropped the peas everywhere, and I'm sure that was also you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Meaghan and Pip pipsqueak 2017-07-11 02:53 am UTC (link)
	It's the accent. I'm sure if our locations were reversed everyone would like you better. Well that's progress then? If When my mother meets Ember she will be quite mindful about the pleases and thank yous. I'm a much better person to learn on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Meaghan and Pip likeafox_ 2017-07-11 02:58 am UTC (link)
	No. You're just a better person than I am. It's just facts. Oh Merlin's tits, your mum. Am I going to have to meet her too? That seems...excessive, doesn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Meaghan and Pip pipsqueak 2017-07-11 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	You don't need to do anything you don't want to do. We'll start off with my brother and his family Besides, it's a long way off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well you can tell other parents to sod off, as you guys say, when it comes to raising Ember. Except me, but I hope you never have to tell me that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I sat. They searched me. Not really pleasant about it, but that's to be expected. Sort of felt like my mum rummaging about. (Reply to this)
