OK, this was a total mistake. Javier shouldn't have come here. He hated politics, and suddenly this whole meeting had taken a very political turn. He looked over at the girl who decided to take out her grievances on the Minister, dark eyebrows wrinkling. He had intended to sit here quietly and not do, well, ANYTHING, but he could feel that burning feeling in his stomach that he often got before his mouth got him in trouble. But first, he had to establish himself as an actual, credible figure in this debate by contributing something useful...

"I'm sure if we really put our minds to it, there are jobs all OVER the Ministry we can tailor to accommodate Squibs. Obvious exceptions would be Aurors, Obliviators, probably some folks in Mysteries...but if we all examine our OWN departments are look for ways to make adjustments here or there, it seems easy. To me at least. I'd happily do it in my own department," he added. He wasn't SERIOUS of course but he was pretty sure Games and Sports would be one of the easier departments to...convert to Squib-friendly.

NOW, for the chatterbox next to him. He turned to her, arms crossed. "Inclusion shouldn't even be an issue. We're talking about PEOPLE here. They have every right to work just as we do. If people think it's being shoved down their throat as a purely political thing, they're missing the bigger picture here," he snapped before turning back to the main speaker...guy. And that was all he was going to say about THAT at the moment. Quite frankly, Javi disagreed with those protestors, and some of their more...archaic views of Squids and Muggles.

He should have just been quiet. Or just skipped the event completely. Because now he was cranky.
