lets here from an ex-ministry employee

Written by Ashlyn O'Nell

Recently the Ministry of Magic for unknown reasons let go off all of its Pureblood employees. I wanted to get to the bottom of this and sat down with Norah Consigilio, to see what I could learn.

Daily Prophet: So I heard that you just got let go from the Ministry how do you feel about that?

Norah Consigilio:"Well, I was pretty shattered by being let go. I had just started a month or so before. The whole experience was quite shocking, and I'm very saddened by the entire experience."


DP: Do you know why they let go only the Pureblood members of the ministry, it feels kind of odd to me, what about you?

NC:"Very odd. I've heard lots of rumors, but none of them really make much sense to me. I've heard things from they'll transfigure you into a quill, all the way to they'll kill you. I'm not sure I believe any of them, but I do know I won't be testing their theories any time soon. Though removing Purebloods is pretty barbaric. The ministry would be nothing without magical folk."


DP: So what happens if you try to go back into the building?

NC:"I'm not quite sure, like I said before I've heard a plethora of rumors. Though it does sound very much like a life threatening situation. I would not advise any wizards, or witches to try and figure it out. Especially if it involves risking someone's life."


DP:Well thank you for those answers, now I just have one more what do you plan on doing with your life now?

NC:  "That is a very in-depth question. I do hope that this is just a temporary state. I've had a pretty difficult life as it is, and becoming an Auror was about helping people. Over the past few years I've had a lot of bad experiences, instances where I couldn't defend myself. I feel as though training to be an Auror was giving me skills that I needed in my normal life.


Now that this has been placed on hold, I'm not quite sure. I have to find a new job, and I've considered some sort of teaching position somewhere. Though Hogwarts doesn't usually have any openings. I've heard Rutherford has a few openings, and I may try my hand there. Though I'm still quite young, I've had a lot of personal experiences that have aged me. I've matured a lot over the past few years, and I'm nothing like I was in Hogwarts.


I hope to erase the memories of my name from the horrid Hufflepuff that followed the snakes around, to the Puff that saved my life. Even better, the Puff that helped me when no one else would. I know it won't be an overnight process, but I do plan to make it happen however long it takes."

It is safe to say that Ms. Consogilio is not happy about what happened, and hopes like the rest of us that we find out more information soon.
