"There are other areas, perhaps more important than a Quidditch Pitch or two, that are supposedly just as well protected from muggle sight as the Pitches were. What if this is not simply limited to sporting arenas? What if, say, our nations children are at risk? Should we not assess such a possibility?"

Naturally the Minister would follow this line of thinking to its completion. She was quite excellent like that.

Allie had just picked up the first piece of paperwork atop her desk, when she heard Martel speak to her. Abandoning the paper, she turned to him and said, "Our nation's children are at risk? How so?" The usual dangers, the ones children were typically told to look out for, came to mind. Other dangers, though? Perhaps Martel was thinking along a line she had yet to consider. "What are you suggesting?"

She paused for a moment as a thought suddenly occurred to her. Now Lexi, her sister, had been a professor at Hogwarts for the past two years. She'd shared with Allie how a few of the students had recently been put in danger for one reason or another. She narrowed her eyes in thought then glanced up at Martel. "Well if the children are endangered, we should start at Hogwarts. That's where most of them are headed...right now, as a matter of fact." She glanced at the calendar on her desk, noticing that it read September the first, which was the date the train came to pick up the students.
