Memo To: Francis Pepper From: Brinley Abbott Date: Mar 8th 2012 Re: Clock in Ministerial Office

---

Francis,

The Minister's clock is malfunctioning. I checked for boggarts. I sent for Magical Maintenance. They told me to write you. I am to understand it is special in unspeakable ways.

Please come immediately. It is resisting any attempt to remove it. Sidney Dervish just went to St Mungo's to have his fingers reattached.

Brinley Abbott
