Oh. AND. Did you hear the news about Geoff Hooper's brother? He got sacked by Mr Malfoy. I heard that some of the stories he passed onto Geoff he really was NOT supposed to be repeating. Not that he ever said anything to Geoff other than 'you'll never guess...!' or Geoff wouldn't have repeated them to ME.

And for his new clerk Mr Malfoy hired Percy Weasley! Too bad for his brothers, I don't think Percy would pass along gossip from Lucius's office if you crucio'd him to get the news out of him.
