Conversation[]
Wayne Brocklehurt: This is unbelievable. I haven't had my daily shipping of the Daily Prophet.
I thought it was meant to be daily?!
Now, what am I going to do? This is unacceptable.
Player: Can I help?
Wayne Brocklehurt: Help? I suppose you could head over to the Daily Prophet offices in Diagon Alley and ask why I haven't had my shipment of their newspaper!
Speak to Barnabas Cuffe.
Tell him Wayne Brocklehurst sent you.
[——— At the Daily Prophet ———]
Barnabas Cuffe: Did he now? He didn't get his shipment?
That is Lethas' job!
Only just hired the green bastard.
Bloody slacker.
You go find Kevin Lethas and tell him that I won't tolerate this again.
This is his last and only chance!
Player: I will.
[——— Upon meeting Lethas ———]
Player: Barnabas Cuffe sent me.
Kevin Lethas: He did...?! Oh, dear!
I had to deliver a shipment of the Daily Prophet to the Ministry today.
I completely forgot.
I have such a terrible memory, I keep forgetting important things.
I hope this never happens again, but knowing me...
If only I had a Remembrall or something.
Player: I could get you one.
Kevin Lethas: Really? You would do that?
I'm sure you can buy one somewhere around here if you don't have one already.
Player: I'll return with that.
[——— Returning with a Rememberall ———]
Kevin Lethas: I can't thank you enough.
I can't believe I've never gotten myself one of these before.
Now I might actually have a chance at keeping my job.
[——— After completion ———]
Wayne Brocklehurt: Cheers for that, that's good to hear.
My mood is improving already.
Here, take this. It's the least I can do.
How to Complete the Task[]
This quest has multiple steps. After speaking to Brocklehurt, go to the Daily Prophet at the far end of Diagon Alley to the left of Gringotts and speak to Cuffe. He will direct you to Lethas, who can be found in the fish and chip shop up the street. Lethas will ask for a Rememberall. If you do not already have one (talk to him again to confirm), you can buy one at the General Store across and slightly down the street for 10 coins. Then return to Lethas, and finally to Brocklehurt.
