Private message to Mr Lucius Malfoy

alt_percyMy meeting with Mr Virgil Crispin was, I think, productive, and between my knowledge of the principals involved and their personal financial information, and Mr Crispin's knowledge of the procedures which must be followed, we think we have identified several potentially useful prongs of attack.
As I mentioned to you, I believe a large part of the income that Mrs Weasley is counting upon for paying the rental/assuming ownership of the Hamilton building stems from her own rental income from the lease on 25 Avenue Road. That is the building granted to her by the Repopulation Office. It occurs to me that there may be several arguments to undoing that arrangement. Mr and Mrs Weasley initially turned down the Repopulation Office's offer of a stately home. Perhaps it could be argued that Mrs Weasley should not be allowed a second bite at the apple, so to speak? In addition, investigating the specific requirements might be useful. Although Mrs Weasley has two children attending Hogwarts, she no longer has seven minor children, which was the case when the offer was initially made. I am not sure whether the Repopulation Office offers have a sunset date for assuming ownership of a stately home, dependent upon the age of the pureblood children.
Mr Crispin promises that he will carefully examine Mrs Weasley's licence application once it is submitted, and he is confident that he will be able to identify several possible opportunities for exploitation. He was able to ascertain, for example, that Messers Fred and George Weasley have actually been living at the site, when he stopped by the building to speak to them. Surely they don't have a residency permit for that, so we definitely have a zoning issue. Once Mr Crispin has reviewed the application, he will be happy to meet with you to go over whatever clauses Mrs Weasley is violating (out of sheer ignorance), and what can be done about it. I have tentatively marked a meeting between the two of you for the Friday after the application is due, but please let me know if the time needs to be adjusted.
I am sure that you will have many more ideas to ensure that this sordid little venture will come to nothing.
