Friday 6th - WWN Studios - We interrupt this broadcast to announce...
Lee was leaning back on his chair, looking at the playlist he'd written up and marking off the track filling the studio with music. It was all going well. He'd had a couple of requests from small new groups for coverage on his show and one of them was up next. He shifted forwards and grabbed the notes he'd made from listening to the music and what had been sent with the track. They were good, not out of this world, but certainly more than good enough for him to play a song.
Just then he looked over at his Jamie, his assistant in all things related to the show and smiled. The smile on his face dropped as he saw Jamie's face. He was reading a note and his face looked stricken. He came rushing through the door to the studio proper and handed the note to Lee. "You've got announce it. Now. I'll bring in everything we get as soon as we get it." He thrust the note into Lee's hand and disappeared through the door, not stopping in the production room, but disappearing out into the building.
"What the fuck?" Lee muttered. Then he looked at the note.
Reports of incident at Ministry building. Some sort of explosion. No official announcement yet. We're sending someone to get more info. Suggest people stay away and let officials do their jobs.
More info to follow asap.
As he read his jaw dropped. "Fuck."
This was not good. In fact this was fucking awful, and he had to be calm about this in about three seconds. Shit. He read his own news because things rarely happened during his show. Frankly he'd generally already heard the news he had to read when he was listening before he came in.
Fuck. He had to interrupt the song. Taking a deep breath he shouted loudly to get his shock out. "FUUUCK"
Now he was ready.
Smoothly he cut the music and cued in his microphone.
"Sorry about cutting that short, but I have important news to pass on. We've just had a report that there appears to have been some sort of incident at the Ministry of Magic. At the moment there is no official word, although we're expecting one soon. At the moment there are no specific details, although we think it might be an explosion, however we urge the public not to go to the Ministry buildings and instead let the authorities do their jobs. We'll be letting you know more as soon as we get the information. If anyone has more information please get in touch with the WWN offices and we'll get it out to everyone.
For now we'll head back to our interrupted track and as soon as we have more to tell you I'll pass it on."
In his need to stay calm Lee had switched to a strictly professional tone which wasn't like him at all. In truth he was worrying about what this might mean. Yes this sort of thing happened, but the last time something big had happened at the Ministry it was the start of something much worse.
