At any rate, I'm hoping for the best to come of the situation. And yours, too.
I read a book about a Circus fire in 1899. It went on for days, rolling through tent after tent and consuming everything in its path. The night of, wouldn't you know, it was kids who'd been smoking behind the big top. Killed 150 people in the initial stampede, in addition to almost 50 animals. Thousands and thousands of galleons worth of damage. No one talks about it today, of course.
That's about like the Ministry is today. And likely how it's to be in another 100 years. A circus fire, then simply gone.
