 Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - ❄ Lunar Library Lurker ❄ - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror
In Simon’s many years at the Ministry, there had been quite a few incidents involving creatures that had caused a ton of havoc on the place and its workers. The mutants escaping was one. The total lock-out of the employees from the building by a chizpurfles infestation was definitely another. So as much as he liked most creatures, having been raised by a magizoologist father, the security head was now always on high alert when something living was delivered the Ministry of Magic. Add to it the short notice and lack of preparation due to circumstances on the other end and he had made sure those who handled the intake were extra careful.
And then Sookie had sent out notice asking for help. It was more than a little enticing, both to satisfy his curiosity as to what had been delivered as well, and to keep an eye on things. Best to know what the situation was from the get-go than to deal with more surprises along the way because you let yourself be caught off guard. Of course, another issue had threatened to pull him away from being available to help, but thankfully it had managed to be settled without too much trouble.
So he finally made his way to Level Four to find Sookie and her employees scattered amongst Sophie, Lucas and Indigo and opening up the crate. His wand shifted into his grasp at his side to stand ready as well, his eyes alert to watch for whatever movement came from within.
