Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_corax]

So we have a half-blood affairs division. Do half-bloods have to register? What about the ones who aren't in fostering, is anyone keeping track? Or is it purebloods we track? Mostly I want to know how they make sure the people taking advantage of Repopulation Rewards are ACTUALLY pure. How many generations back does it need to go?

Explain Civil Infrastructure to me. It just doesn't seem big enough. Surely they could get more done with a bigger budget.

I want to see Cresus Deverill, and you, in my office. Doesn't have to be this minute, just before the end of the day.

Also, this chair isn't comfortable, tell them I need a new one. Or just bring me yours and I'll try it out. You can have this one if I like yours.

Also, the quills and parchment arrived, thanks.

I doubt you'd prefer mine; it tilts to the left when I sit down on it. Although I was going to try to repair it, since I'm rather knacky at that sort of thing, but I just haven't had a chance yet.

There are a couple of empty offices that have available chairs. I'll bring mine and the two spares and try to adjust yours, and if you don't like the adjustment, you can choose from one of the three. I can also bring a catalogue, if you'd like to consider ordering a new one. I suspect Selwyn's hadn't been replaced in quite a long time, so it would certainly be appropriate.

Also, someone from Population Rewards wanted a report from someone in Civil Infrastructure, take care of that.

[alt_bill]

Will do. I think that must have been misdirected.

I'll track down who needs to get that request.

Half-bloods are registered, yes, and are effectively considered legal minors. I have regulations explaining the legal definitions used, and the criteria for fostering, which I'll bring to show you (Ministry of Magic Publication 4196.5.2.) Halfbloods acquire citizenship by renouncing their muggle or mudblood origins, completing their education, and making their application to the Department of Purity Control. Only then can they marry or breed. We don't track purebloods in the same way, although to prove they are pureblooded, citizens do have to provide extensive documentation.

I can inquire with the Repopulations office on your question. My understanding is that they track five generations back, but I will doublecheck.

I think I need a little more detail from you as to what exactly you're asking for with your request that I explain Civil Infrastructure. I'll stop by. We can also set a time then that you and I can meet with Deverill.
