"Yes, that is what I was looking for. There have been numerous instances of this in history too."

"I was asking on a broad range, but you do bring up a good point. A crup running about with its forked tail is a completely different situation than say a Dementor wreaking havoc. But in both cases, the Ministry would be called, correct?"

"Very good, Luin. I was hoping that someone would bring up the Ilfracombe Incident."

"Very good. The nation's govering body would step in. So our Ministry would deal with it."

"Again the Ministry and its departments would come in and do some damage control, but that all falls under Clause 73."
"Very good."

Stopping for a moment, Sylvie frowned. A part of her felt she had failed her student. She could tell there was some confusion there. She would definitely advise that he stayed behind to talk to her.

"Simon, I'm not sure if you are understanding all of it. Maybe you should read the text and see me after the lesson. You are kind of getting it but not completely. Good effort though."

"Obliviating muggles isn't unheard of. That is just what they did in the Ilfracombe Incident."

"Very good. The type of creature can be important and can sway what might happen. It's up the the Ministry again what happens, isn't it?"

Jake had a point about that line between a creature knowing and not knowing. It was a rather sad thing to think about, but once something of that nature occurred, it was out of their hands and in the hands of the Ministry.

Looking to the silent members of her class, she took notice of them. She could tell that the wheels in their heads were turn. She wanted their discussion to spark ideas and thoughts, but to what extent she was a bit scared to know. Shaking those thoughts, she turned back to the other students.

"Again, I'm not completely sure as to what would happen. There is a great amount of grey area, but I think we are lead to believe that if the creature is under the care of a wizard or witch, the creature would be spared and the owner or caretaker would be handed the punishment."

"Yes, it would be the nations responsibility to keep it under wraps. That is what Clause 73 is for. That is a very good point as well, Annie."

Good ideas, she did like that.

"I'm sure that muggles well believe what they want. I mean those that manage to slip under the creaks and aren't obliviated, may go on and keep of what they see and those stories would continue on. Call it what you may, myths or legends. They still continue on. Word of mouth is a powerful thing."

Hugo watched the points fly through the classroom like cornish pixies. He should give some answers now. He raised his hand. "Professor, I think anyone who believes in witchcraft in a muggle community is considered a mad man," he said. This wouldn't get him any points, but it would get him fired up for a discussion. "They always carry on and there's always a bunch who believe them but most of the muggles will just go on and not believe in magic," he said. His comments really weren't class worthy, but how could he compete with Kurumi?!
