Teal just shood his head, shrugging it off because he knew Aricca wouldn't like that response before he went on. "Well, anyways. First of all, I don't see how a Lethifold has made its way into Europe to start with, In all my years, I have never had a Lethifold case outside of the tropics." he said with a shrug, they were extremely rare creatures, and he didn't see how one could turn up in the cold european climate, even if it was mixed with a Demiguise. Teal cocked an eyebrow, and took another swig from his coffee, "But on the otherhand, if this creature really is out there, then I agree with everyone else. It has got to be a beast if the creature is living. But then again, I just can't see how a Lethifold could be living up here, so there is a possibility it could be a type of spirit... this really could take alot of extensive research." Teal said, massaging his temples, shaking his head slightly.
Teal looked up to Aricca again, and then he gazed around the room to his fellow employee's. "And then I geuss there is the need to dispose of this creature." Teal said with a sigh..., before thinking Which is my job... of course. "And the only way to get rid of a Lethifold is through a powerful Patronus Charm, and since the Demiguise makes it invisible, it could take years to even find the exact location of the creature." Teal said, with a frown on his face. He might have gone too far, but Teal was a quick thinker.... he had been around the job for years and he most definately knew what he was doing. |
AJ let out a laugh, a very strained one, but one enough. "Yes, Teal, that's exactly what I said when we first heard of this yesterday, was that the Quibbler can't POSSIBLY be telling the truth. That is the point of the excursion to
The Quibbler's headquarters, is to get their source and information so as to research this before someone else gets hurt." She shuffled through some more of her notes and nodded, "Ahh, here we go. Attacks have taken place in Scotland, England, and Switzerland. No actual reports have been filed with any of the animal committees in any of the countries, but that's because they feel stupid saying an invisible creature attacked them."
She stood there, looking around, "I agree, with you on the Beast designation. Not because of intelligence bit, but because it is dangerous and doesn't follow the laws of the wizarding community. Beings try to fit in, this beast is no where NEAR fitting in." She said, and wrote down all this information on the board behind her with a swish of her wand. "I wanted the Spirit division's input here because it is invisible and they have the most experience with tracking and capturing invisible things that REALLY don't want to be found." she said, since several people seemed to be taking rather rude shots with saying this couldn't possibly be a spirit.

"Yes, it's completely rare to find some sort of lethifold over there, the demiguise, well, that makes more sense" he said, while nodding, he sat straight and then placed his hands on the table, crossing his fingers, "I also agree with what you say, it should be a beast, but maybe the Spirit Division could look it up, since we're not sure exactly what it is" he continued.
Jack looked around, "There's not even the slightest idea how that happened?" he asked, probably The Quibbler had its theory, but something more reliable would be better. |
"We don't yet know how the Lethifold got here, but we can assume, at this time, that it was an illegal breeding experiment. It might have been a Demiguise that travelled out of its usual area and got pregant with a Lethifold, but it's highly doubtful considering their lifestyles. We are most likely, and we will treat it as such unless we get information disproving this, dealing with an illegal breeding team." This information appeared shortly after with another flick of her wand.
"In those 3 countries, there have been reports filed with hospitals of identical attacks, or at least identical injuries sustained, with various excuses such as: 'fell down the stairs,' 'tried to feet a crocodile,' and, my personal favorite, 'i just woke up like this.'' She looked to her workers. "Some were attacked in their sleep like Lethifolds usually take their victims, but none were fully devoured. Full injury reports haven't been released to us yet."
"Anyways, the purpose of this meeting is to determine WHO is going to
The Quibbler headquarters to get as much information as we can on the nature of these attacks and so forth that MIGHT help us get leads on how to contain the creature." she looked at each of her employee's faces, one at a time, making a mental note of what division they were in.
"Since general consensus puts it as being a beast, someone from the Beast Division is going. I'm afraid I won't be going, because I'm just not able to at the moment, busy stuff going on. "Teal. If you don't mind, I'd like for you to go with them. You are most experience with dealing with dangerous critters, and since you have attended, you know what's going on. Find out as much as you can, about the victims, see if they have any connections, try to find out their injuries, names, places, times of day, anything could help us. The most important thing tho is to make sure the hospital reports exist, we don't need
The Quibbler making this stuff up." she smiled at him. "Good luck." she said and made more marks on the board. "I believe they are congregating, as we speak, to head over there via portkey." she told him.
AJ waited until Teal had left
(ooc: outside the ministry threads, just post as if you had just walked down from the portkey location), and addressed the other employee's sitting before her. "In the mean time, we are just going to assume all the reports and rumors are true, and discuss how we might be able to contain such a beast." she said, with a grim smile on her face, trying to be welcoming and pleasant.
"and ideas?"
