Suddenly, a slightly humorous idea came to Kyra and it sparked a question.

"Miss Bass I was wondering if we know whether or not the carpets are flame retardant? If not then I would like to suggest that a con would quite likely be that they are flammable and will ignite if struck by lightning! We all know what kind of weather we have here, after all." she said.

Anita spoke up.

"Like broomsticks, flying carpets can be prone to faults like it may not fly at the right height causing accidents. It would not be great at all if a flying carpet malfunctions and crashes into a building like Big Ben. Think of the chaos," she said

Lizeth grinned. "There should be age limitations on them. I can only imagine my 6 year old nephew getting ahold of one. I'd say the same for broomsticks, but it's a lot easier to use a carpet." She shrugged and looked down at the notes she'd been taking.

Madison listened to the different conversations of the list that seemed to be adding up. "Yes. I would say that maybe having them flown at a certain height would be something to consider as well as the number of riders a carpet would have," she spoke up, pushing her long brown hair behind her ears.

"But if I might ask a question to make sure things are clear, what were the reasonings behind banning them from Britain in the first place? Maybe there was a particular reason for their decision at the time. Might be the first place to start." She was concerned as to what factors were limited during the first decision made.

Anita was writing down notes. She nodded in agreement to what Madison said.

"I think that is a great idea," she said referring to Madison's suggestion.

Lizeth thought about it. "Wasn't there something about the muggles noticing them too often and the carpets being sold to muggles that made them get banned?" She shrugged, but she thought she had read that somewhere.

Madison smiled as her idea seemed to be a pretty good one, or at least some showed interest in her topic. She waited for a little more information from a folder that Ms. Bass spoke of before speaking again.

Lizeth shrugged. "They make a good point. If we make them usable, whos to say someone doesn't charm a rug and then sell it to muggles as a joke? We might not even catch it until it's too late." She looked down at her paper, slightly pink-cheeked. She felt like she was talking too much.

Anita looked at Lizbeth.

"I am with Lizbeth. There are always wizards who bewitch Muggle objects to make poor unsuspecting Muggles freak out," she said

She nodded. "That's exactly my point!" Lizeth exclaimed, gaining confidence.

Anita thought about it.

"Flying Carpets can carry more passengers than broomsticks, I think," she said sort of struggling to find a pro.

Lizeth thought for a moment. "Flying carpets are easier to use and less likely to cause blistering?"

Madison listened to the reasoning of why they were banned before and as a couple of people spoke up with their own opinions. But she wanted to add one of her own as well.

"Ms. Bass, if you don't mind me asking one thing before moving along, wouldn't brooms also be classified as a muggle artifact? I mean, muggles do use them so maybe looking at it from that point of view might help as well." She just wanted to make sure to see all sides of the picture instead of just the way one person thought way back when. It was a new time, a new era of things and hopefully they, the people in the room, could make some changes for the better.


"It would make comfort a little better for those who require a little more room than others, or maybe the older generation would like comfort as well." There were things that she wanted to ask, but they were only on the pros and cons at the moment. She waited a bit to see if there was anyone else who had anything to add as well. This was turning into a pretty good conversation and she was just happy to be working on something.

Isabella knocked on the door, quite nervously. She opened the door and walked in slowly ''Hello guys, My name is Isabella, im in the Obliviators office, Im so sorry to bother you all in a meeting but this will only take a minute.''

My boss was just wondering if anyone here has ever had scarlet fever? My boss, Ivan in the Oblivators office, has asked me to ask ministry empolyees as a kind of survey for muggle excuses for seeing dragons and centaurs part of our International Co-operation project set my Ben Cobblestone. So, Scarlet Fever anyone...''

She looked around waiting a response... ''All in need is symptoms and reactions to the fever.'' She put her pen in her mouth and the scrap piece of paper held tight in her hand felt like her only friend at this point in time...

OOC: I will come back and check for responses but feel free to PM me with your response. MANY THANKS EVERYONE

Lizeth raised a hand. "Isn't that more common in South America?" Her uncle was a muggle traveler.

Madison's head ventured towards the doorway as someone knocked then walked through apologizing. As the female began to speak and asked a question, Madison shook her head and answered with a "No." Never before that she could remember with the things her mother told her, did she have scarlet fever, nor anyone in her family. It was a rather strange question to ask at such an odd time. She then went back to listening to others speak as she took her own notes.

Anita looked at Isabella

"No, I haven't had scarlet fever," she answered.

"You know, if the Ministry only banned flying carpets before because they appeared on the Registry of Proscribed Charmable Objects due to being a muggle artifact, if that is only the solution for making them illegal then there has to be a way around that. I mean, for instance I will bring it up again that brooms are a muggle artifact and if there is a way that we can keep a tracking on each and every carpet charmed to fly, then we should be able to make this happen." Madison had a long speech but she just wanted to get her point across to everyone in making this a little easier. "I mean, they are legal elsewhere and maybe we just need to give it a chance and see what happens.

"As for having adding more to the pros, well, it might be able to transport things a little easier if going from point A to point B if there were some who didn't prefer to travel by portkey or by floo. There are some wizards out there who are not fond of such ways of transportation." She sat back in her chair thinking of more ways to come up with the pros of having a flying carpet. It would be interesting just to see them around.
