Maybe we could get involved through a letter writing campaign to the Ministry."

Anna glanced up and smiled at the sound of Copernicus' voice. He was really intelligent, and she always enjoyed having conversations with him. "You know, I never thought of that, Copernicus. If we cracked down on those who also purchase these items, there'd be no one, or at least a lot less people, to sell to. There's no point in trying to sell if there's no one to sell to," she added. "I think a letter to the Ministry would be perfect. Perhaps it would open up their eyes to a growing problem, and they could enlist their Magical Creatures division in helping enforce this law."

Agie grinned at Anna. "Well, he'd be great seeker practice." Agie laughed. "But I doubt it. Professor Morgan is way too protective of him."

Hmmm, security. "What about a magical security field that can pick up danger. Maybe by elevated heart rates? Or by sensing fear." She shrugged. "I doubt that is possible tho."

"Hey!" Anna exclaimed, making a face at Agie and then drawing Vincent closer to her. "I know you only meant enlisting his help by catching him like you would the snitch, but I'm afraid that would either scare him or harm him. I think one of the reasons the birds were taken out of Quidditch games is because the force of someone's hand grasping them so quickly harmed them," Anna said. Anna considered what Agie was saying about security fields and heart rates. It seemed like a good idea, but it just didn't seem possible. "It sounds good, but in our magical world, you never know whose heart rate you'd pick up. It could blead you to a really dark creature or something like that," Anna said.
