When the song was finished Lee had no more information, and he tried to switch back to his usual babble until he did, although regularly mentioning the events ongoing and his lack of news. Three or four songs later Jamie finally returned. It was some time after that before he had any official words to pas along. This time he waited until the end of the song.
"That was an old favourite of mine from Elvish Debate. And now I have some official news from the Ministry of Magic. If you've only just tuned in I can bring you up to speed. We have confirmation that there has been some sort of explosion at the Ministry of Magic. It is believed that this is an isolated event and as yet we have no details of anyone injured in the blast, or indeed if there were injuries. There is already an investigation under way and we continue to urge people to not flood to the Ministry building. Trying to explain it to the Muggles would be very difficult.
That's all the information we have for now. I'm sure everyone listening is still reeling from all of this, and we don't have many details yet. The WWN will continue to update you throughout the day. For now I have no further announcements and I'm going to return to some music to let you try and absorb this."
Lee let the next track start and turned off his microphone. "Fuck, what am I meant to talk about now? Jamie, this is why they give me the news written out, and I'm not a fucking debate show. I talk about music and occasionally I talk to musicians and singers, again about music. And possibly something I don't care about in their private life."
He hadn't done this in quite some time. Not talking seriously about anything. In fact he was going on a lot less information now than he had done back when he'd been running Potterwatch.
