Oh, no... it was time for them all to speak. Derek could feel his heart race and his hands shake inside his pockets. He really hated that. Couldn't he just tell his Head of Department about what he has been researching? Or even, couldn't they just skip this whole meeting and go on with the experiments and researches??

The 25 year-old listened carefully as each person stood up and spoke. Good, people like Kensington, Aron and even Althea were already giving enough details. If they kept talking like that, maybe Derek wouldn't have to add anything! Good! Good!

He did agree with quarentine the individuals, though he didn't think the... infection(?) was contagious. That Wellington woman said exactly what he thought. If it were contagious, most probably half of the Ministry - or more! - would have been infected by now. And clearly that hadn't happened.

So everything seemed to have been covered... food court, symptoms, drool, vomit, DNA. Even the biting was mentioned by Aron. Perfect.

There was this one detail, though, that no one had mentioned and Derek found to be of some importance. He gulped, wondering if he should get up and actually say it out loud. wouldn't it be stupid to stand up to say one sentence??? Uuuurgh, Merlin!

Taking a deep breath, Derek finally stood up. "Derek Meriwether, Potion Identification and Recory Specialist." You can do this, Derek. Calm down. He finally took his hands from his pockets, but... he had no idea what to do with them now, so he put them back inside of his robes. Awkward much? "I have kept in touch with some of the... infected people. I met some of them, like Kensington..." He gave her a quick glance before continuing. "...and Demetrius Clay before the Christmas holidays." Derek didn't know who she should look at. His gaze kept going from one person to the other pretty quickly and he didn't aknowledge any of the people he looked at. Would it be too weird if he just stared at the wall? "They all have gotten much worse now, as Kensington said. A... friend of mine is also infected. Dimitri Burton. He has actually put himself in some... I could say inconvenient situations because of this illness." Not exactly things that could risk his life, but still. "He has walked into walls multiple times while... in trance."

Well, he had said a lot more than just a sentence. That made him feel a little better. Though he wanted to sit down already. He had talked too much already! "I'd suggest that when the infected people are put in quarentine, they get extra protection." What was that? Derek actually caring for the ill? Hm... "Since their magical abilities also seem to be... well, lacking." Not completely gone, though. Or... were they?

Was there anything else he wanted to point out? His thoughts were going through his head ridiculously fast and he just wanted to sit back down. Oh, Merlin, had he just made a complete fool of himself there? He felt like he had more things to share but he couldn't remember now. Uh... yeah, that would have to do. Nodding at the Minister, Derek finally sat down.

How many hours had he been standing up and talking???? MERLIN.

Wait, he didn't mention anything from his tests in the lab! Oh bludger. Well, they hadn't gotten any certain answers yet, so... okay, he was fine. Hopefully. Was the meeting over yet?
