James eyes widened as he listened to the man explain what was going on? Experimental inventions? WHAT?! The more that James heard from this man, the less he began to believe about what he was telling him. James was no idiot--he'd gone to university! While he wasn't a psychology major or anything, he was quite certain the man was lying.

He shook his head and pointed a finger at him accusingly. "No! No! I don't believe you! You're trying to tell me that you've invented a way for people to just APPEAR out of thin air?" he asked him in shock. This was like, science fiction stuff and he did not buy it at ALL.

He was shouting now, regardless of the fact that some woman had just fallen asleep nearby, and stood up, looking around. Why was everyone so CALM? Didn't they see the people appearing out of thin air?!

They’re trying to kill us..” she mumbled and looked up at the man.

Miss? He called me? OH!! Do I look that much young? Eloise couldn’t help but blushed but got her senses back in next second. Help. Confused? Hey I’m a senior excecutive officer of the popular pharmaceutical company. “Help? Umm…mmm..can you tell me what place is this?” she asked, took off her glasses to clean it.

She looked over her shoulder and found James, her collegue too sitting on the floor and shielding his face by using the briefcase. His important document briefcase.

“James!! Are you okay?!” Very much alarming..

James looked around and saw that Eloise was still nearby, and she didn't seem hurt at all, so that was a plus! A plus in this completely backwards situation, that was. "I'm fine, but I don't believe this man!" he stated, pointing another finger at the liar once more. "It is just simply impossible to create some kind of invention to allow people to teleport from place to place! I studied PHYSICS, MISTER," he said. "And I know it is just NOT POSSIBLE."

"Could you please tell me who you are" he asked. The main thing to do was keep her busy until Ben or the obliviators did something

There they went with that whole science experiment thing again. GAHHHH! They worked for a pharmacutical company, and they had studied anatomy and chemistry and all sorts of other sciences, and this lie was getting too big too fast. Taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself, James glared at the man.

"Sir, I am James Banks and this is my colleague, Eloise Baxter. We both work in the pharmacutical business and I can tell you right now, I know for a fact that there is NO WAY you can just take apart pieces of the human body and put them back together in another place! It's just not possible!" he said. WHY were they trying to make him believe he was crazy?!

Sighing and sitting back down on the ground, James grabbed his briefcase and rocked back and forth. He just wanted to get to their conference. Why were they all LYING to him?

Okay, things were not going good at all. She needed to do something and fast.

She took out as few bottles of water and a bottle of calming draught that she had taken with her in case something happened.

Discretely, she opened the water bottles and placed some of the draught in each one. Not too much, but enough to calm them down. When she was done, she closed the bottles again and magically sealed them.

She headed over to the crazed Muggles, and with a nice and genuine smile on her face offered them the water. "Sure you guys could use a nice drink." The fact that it was in sealed bottles might help them trust her, right?

Alyssa apparted at the QWC. She had almosted forgot to check at the sericurty station untill she her boss Olivia and got a reminder. She apparted in the act spot she wanted to and was so good at this by now did not even need to regain her balace. She took off right away toward the security que and waiting to be checked in.

"Y-yes, Sir." Frida said and watched the muggle man closely, then turned her eyes to the woman.
"How will I know if it gets a little too much?" She whispered in a tiny voice. In her books, a muggle even witnessing a levitating paper was enough. A person appearing out of midair was quite a bit more frightening.
"Sir?" Frida asked kindly and walked a bit closer, "Sir.... Mister Banks?" She wanted to make sure that he wasn't going to have a complete mental breakdown. "Would you like something to drink? Some water perhaps? I think it would be good."
Just a bit more time and maybe the man would calm down. Plus, it would give Frida some time to think.

"Hello" Chris said to another arrival. "you have your ID on you by chance?" Chris asked. He wished he could put a muffiato spell around him so he could hear the guests as they spoke.

Armen watched as the muggle couple were spazing out about all the things that they had seen. They would most likely need those Obliviators someone had mentioned. He decided, as a Division head of the Ministry of Magic, that he would make sure no one did anymore magic close to them until the situation is under control.

He then watched as a kind woman strted to try and calm the couple down. He then realized that he knew this woman, he had met her in the Leaky Cauldren a while back, Frida right?

Ben noticed Lima slip something into a few water bottles out of the corner of his eye...that HAD to be a calming draught of some sort. What else would she be giving them. He nodded at her, silently praising her for having enough sense to prepare the water AWAY from the muggles (the LAST thing they needed was to witness more magic) and hoped to Merlin they would take it. It would make their job a LOT easier.

"Well, we're just going to wait just a bit longer and see," he whispered. "Maybe when they calm down, we'll be able to convince them there is a logical explanation for all of this and magic won't be needed. I'll let you know when to cast the charm if it comes to it," he explained in a soft voice.

What REALLY needed to be taken care of were all the PEOPLE here. They just kept apparating and wandering around, not a care in the world.

He then watched as a kind woman strted to try and calm the couple down. He then realized that he knew this woman, he had met her in the Leaky Cauldren a while back, Firda right?

Just as he was thinking of this, he recognized one of the Transportation workers standing nearby. That man had been hired by Bella, he was sure of it! He hurried over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me, sir? You're a Division Head in the Magical Transportation office, aren't you?" he asked him. Without waiting for an answer he went right on to his next question. "Is there any way we can put a halt on apparation until these muggles are taken care of? We're not going to be able to convince them that there is a logical explanation for all of this if people keep apparating in front of them left and right!" he said in a hurried whisper.

HUH.

Ryder had his ID checked, and Sarah was sure she was next in line, but the security man just moved onto someone else.I mean, she knew she was short, but she wasn't invisible...

That was not on.

Clearing her throat with a loud "Ahem!", she smiled at the man doing the checking. "Hello, would you mind checking mine too? My boyfriend and I," she gestured to Ryder, while holding out her ID card, "wish to go and make camp.Thank you."

That wasn't rude, was it? No, she wasn't trying to be anyway.

"Yes, Sir." Frida replied almost silently.

A reasonable explaination seemed a bit far-fetched now, but Frida would remain hopeful.
She scowled slightly as a few more people apparated in the immediate area. 'They should create a detour for a while.' Frida thought.

Armen looked around at the man that had just talked to him. He was Ben Cobblestone he knew him! "Yep Im Armen Recard, Division Head of the Portkeys." he then listened as the man asked him to close off Apparations temporarily. "Um, that's not my division and Im not sure I am allowed to do so." he paused. "But as this situation does call for such measures and I can do it, I guess it can be done, Madison will understand. I will just need you to second the motion and explain with me to Madison about the situation. But perhaps we should wait for Madison's approval instead." he said with a smile and a hand shake.

He smiled at the couple and the witches and wizards nearby.

"Sure do!" Alyssa said as she began to search for her ID "Well I did have it!" She laughed a little, but was starting to get a little nervous what if she lost it. She had one final pocket to search in, she finally found at the bottom on her inside robe pocket. "Here we go!" She said handing the card over. "I'm Alyssa by the way: Alyssa Hyde, Magical Maintainance." She realized after she said it, that the poor man has probally met a million witches and wizards today, and he probally would forget her name in five minuets time. She had made a fool of herself once again....

"Sorry my workload is increasing and i did not see you. I already asked for your friends ID but i might as well check yours too" Chris looked at the ID and then he said "Okay you can go on. The camp still has plenty of spaces left for everyone."

Then he turned to the other employee and looked at her ID. "ok thanks very much for showing your ID you can go on as well." Chris gave her ID back to her.

Then he saw another few guests approach. "Hello" Chris said "what a lively group you have here" He looked at their ID's all at once and then said "on you go you are cleared" He gave their ID's back.

"Thanks" Alyssa blushed looking at him, she retrieved her ID and made her way toward the East field.

"Well, I don't want to step on Madison's toes and close the area," Ben said, biting his lip. He knew that he personally would have a few issues if Department Heads started taking over HIS truff. Hmmmmmm. "I'll go find Madison and talk to her," he explained. "I don't want to completely bust her operation without speaking to her first!" he said.

With that, he headed off to find the other Department Head.

Evan didn't even hear the man's words. He just wanted to be allowed! He didn't like Quidditch that much, but he knew this was huge and important and so cool! As the man gave their IDs back and had no handcuffs or something, Evan half-ran to the fields. He turned back to see if his parents were coming. Yay, this was going to be so awesome! If only Lyra or Fallon was with him too...

James stopped rocking back and forth on the ground and looked up at her, eyebrows wrinkled in suspicion. He took the water bottle from her but continued to look up at her. "There's none of that weird experimental teleportation stuff in here is there?" he asked her sarcastically. He was NOT sure he could trust these people at ALL.

Finally! the day of the Quidditch world cup had come!
Lavi and his father had been waiting for this event for so long and now it was here. Lavi practically bounced up and down on his feet and waited for his slow dad to get ready.
"Come on dad!" he shouted excitedly and in the back of the room he heard his father say "yea yea, coming , i'm coming..jeez, just have to say goodbye to your mother" Lavi's mother was a muggle and she wasn't very fond of the quidditch sport no matter how many times Lavi had told about it. He smiled broadly when his dad walked in to the living room but his smile faded away and was replaced with a shocked look when the Fork, their portkey went a bright colour. "DAD!" he shouted and pointed at the Fork. His father quickly walked over and told Lavi to grab or even place a finger on the Fork. Lavi did so and a few seconds later he felt himself leaving the living room.

Having never experienced Portkeys before, it was only natural that Lavi fell on to the ground and his father landed safely on his feet, laughing at him. Lavi rolled his eyes and quickly stood up. He reached inside his pocket and took out his ID-card , his father did the same thing and they waited in the line.

She smiled at Ben discretely as he seemed to catch onto what she had done. Hopefully it would work, or they were going to have a more difficult situation on their hands.

She turned her attention to the Muggle that asked her a question. "No, sir. It's just some water that you might need after everything. The seal is still closed." She pointed to the bottle cap in a friendly manner. "You can see for yourself." Technically she wasn't lying either. Calming Draught didn't make you apparate.

James looked at the bottle he was holding in his hand and saw that she had spoken the truth. The lid hadn't been tampered with, so that meant it was safe to drink. At least, he thought so--he wasn't sure if you could still contaminate the water in some other way.

He popped open the cap, still giving the girl a rather nasty look, and he drank some of it, still looking around to see if anyone else had appeared out of thin air. He was going to catch them in their lie! But as the water went down his throat, he felt like all of his tension just melted away. A doopy grin slid onto his face and he loosened up, stretching out on the ground as he sat there.

No longer wanting to scream, he looked at some of the people surrounding him, grinning at them. "So, ok...what is REALLY going on?" he asked, a lot calmer than he had been a few minutes ago.

She gave an inward sigh of relief when he took the bottle of water and drank it. Then the draught started to work. But now she needed to think fast.

She got an idea.

"See, this is a movie set, sir. We're trying out some special effects for a film before we start shooting. That's why there are no cameras here. But there will be soon. We're making this fantasy film about magic and I'm in charge of special effects."

Hopefully she made sense.

DH smiled at the young man and said, "Well, young man, we have to wait for your father to give his identification before i can let you in." he said and paused a moment, "But you know what, I can let you stay here a moment" he said as he grabbed a chair to let the boy sit, "And watch how they take care of those people." he whispered, pertaining to the Muggles.


DH smiled at the family and said, "Good day, Sir. Can I see your identifications please." he said to the lot as to verify the identity.

Daniel was then compelled to go to the Checkpoint where Dh was helping the people out there and saw a lot of people coming in. He wanted to ask permission if he can go to the other fields and look for some friends or students from Hogwarts. To his luck he saw two already. It is Ryder Montgomery and Sarah (puts in last name) just coming in. He waved at them and approached them. I hope they can recognize him as classmates he thought. Hello, how was the trip?" he asked.

Suzanna smiled back at the ministy employee who had greeted her. Gently stepping over her fork portkey, she lifted up her left arm and showed him her identification. Her eyes glanced around. She was actually at a Quidditch World Cup!

Sarah. He was glad that she had found her way here okay. He knew that this was her first time. "Hi, how was your first time taking a portkey?" he asked her. They would have time to talk later, so if she didn't answer right away that was okay. "She worries, thats fine, but I don't think you'll actually need much," he said to his girlfriend.


"Thank you," he told him as he took Sarah's hand and got ready to go and find Liliana's tent.


He knew they were busy, but they got there at the same time. Was forgetting to ask for her ID when they had arrived at the same time good? He took a minute to take a deep breath and told himself that it was okay. They would get to get going sure enough, and sure enough they got to leave when they finally asked for her ID.

Squeezing her hand gently he said, "this way I think," leading her in the direction of the campgrounds.

Tasha Walked up to Frida and said "Hey, so Im here, Hopefully I can work this out." she was lost, beyond lost. She didn't know who she was suppost to talk to from that other department?

Then she suddenly found the muggle that was causing all of the trouble. "Hello Sir, Im the Manager here for this Movie, if theres any questions please go ahead and ask them for my employees must get back to filming, these things cost money you know!" she said to the muggle, hopefully her commanding presence would reasure him.

Frida turned to Tasha and whispered quietly, "Well, Mister Banks has just had a bit of calming draught. Hopefully he'll believe the story of a movie set more than the scientific experiment one."
Aside from that, Frida was just relieved that she hadn't had to alter the man's memory. Sure it would have been easy, but it was usually safer to be creative and stay away from magic sometimes.

"Anything else happening elsewhere do you know?"
