Hawk tooh his hand off his wand as Mr. Bole came in. He watched him talk to Gina, and hoped that Gena would see sense. And hoping even more that that other Department Head(Recard was it?), didn't continue.

He was relieved however, that they hadn't had to use wands. Sooner things calmed down, the better. Not that he didn't agree 100% with what the protestors wanted. Byrr was a arrogant tyrant, if there were elections, he never would have won. He was arrogant and mean-spirited towards everyone. Only Cultists and radical nature lovers would have voted for him. And Hawk was very sure that Byrr was just a puppet of the Cult.

But still...protesting would get you nowhere. The Cult controlled the Ministry and the news(or at least the Quibbler, judging by that issue they had a year ago). If Byrr was impeached, the judges would no doubt be Cultists, and he would be set free of charges.
