Alex turned around startled when someone else joined them in the corridor, but quickly discovered it was just a fellow ministry employee. Nodding politely to him, as Ainsley welcomed him to join their parade, she redirected her attention back at her surroundings.

"Definitely something chaotic and destructive," she murmured towards Edward. "But yes, isn't there always ... a wizard behind it. That is." Same with the threat; there was a wizard behind it with some sort of vengeance against the sport. "You know... what if it came from one of the other wizarding schools? Perhaps as a way for their school to gain grounds on Hogwarts in terms of getting more of their students into professional leagues. Putting Hogwarts at a disadvantage. I would imagine, given the deadly blow they suffered in the scholarship bowl where Hogwarts won an enormous amount of grant money ... well surely anyone would want to seize something from Hogwarts. Anything." Made sense to her, at least. But what did she know? She was just an astronomy nerd.
Chaotic and destructive just really wasn't in the media liaison's job duties. Of course she knew that with any job there were risks and things could always happen, but she was thinking more on the lines of paper cuts, and maybe somebody yelling at her over a story. Those things she could deal with. She was out of her element on this one. As Ainsley listened to Alex's theory she started to think that it was making a lot of sense. "You're making a lot of sense. That could very well be the issue." Why would anybody tied with Hogwarts wish harm on the students and staff? Even if it was a disgruntled employee surely there were still people there that they cared about. They wouldn't want to hurt those people right?

Here they were right before the very office that held the head of law enforcement. Ainsley was an adult for crying out loud, but she couldn't help but to feel nervous about approaching Ms. Browne. "I guess all that's left to do here is to deliver the letter." After all they had more people to see and more places to go.
