WHO: Ernie MacMillan & whoever is interested in helping with the investigation into all the crazy happenings.
WHAT/WHERE: A meeting in one of the larger rooms at the Ministry.
WHEN: Monday morning
RATING: PG

Ernie worked long hours on a normal day so imagine the sort of time he was putting in since the explosion in Kingsley's office. The explosion would have been bad enough, but the subsequent attack on Sweetness and Light along with that terrible note Dawlish received really had him feeling like the Ministry was in a race against time. The race was made worse by the anonymity of the whole affair. Yes, the Ministry always had enemies so there were some ideas, but nothing concrete as of yet. It drove him mad. He hated that people got hurt. He hated that people were worried. He really wished the rags would stay out of it too.

Thanks to his mother and other people's generous donations, there was plenty of breakfast items on hand for the arduous task of figuring out what to do next. Security had been tightened, naturally, and there was an ongoing investigation, but what more could they do?

STATUS: IC/OOC

At 10am, a paperweight tampered by someone unknown will explode in Kingsley Shacklebolt's office. Fortunately Kingsley hadn't arrived yet due to a family crisis, but the explosion managed to destroy part of that floor of the building, and due to its magical nature managed to cause damage in all other floors, from minor crashes in some to chaos and destruction in others.

Some people were seriously injured, so Healers had to be promptly called, together with Cursebreakers and Aurors. Kingsley rushed to the scene immediately (crisis had been solved when news reached him anyway) and led the effort to fix the damage and help everybody. Once crisis is averted, he'll organize an inquiry, led by Ernie Macmillan.
