A memorandum flitted directly from the office of the Head of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes into the Obliviators' floor. It flew past a few seniors to where the green recruits gathered. It flew straight to the hands of Nicholas Bevans.

It read:

Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes
From the Desk of Quill Som, Department Head
For immediate distribution; not for publication; class two secrecy.

To: Bevans, Nicholas; Obliviator
From: Som, Quill; Head of Department
Date: 4 Jan 2012
Subject: Combat Training

Mr. Bevans, you have been assigned for special field operations during full moon events commencing 4 January 2012. In order to provide rapid protection of the Statute of Secrecy, Obliviators will be in the immediate vicinity of any accidents or catastrophes regarding the operations of the Auror Corp, Hitwizards, Magical Law Patrol, and the Werewolf Capture Unit. Recent intelligence has confirmed that there is a high risk of further violence targeting werewolves and muggles on subsequent full moons.

You are to report to the Head of the Auror Corps before end of day 5 January 2012 for training in basic spell combat and werewolf scenario survival.

Handwritten at the bottom in ink was an additional message.

Requisition a broom from Magical Transportation and get into practice. You'll need it. Good luck. -- Q. S. /i]
