He brushed his sopping hair out of his eyes. “It’s the damn elves.” He explained to Egypt and Lola. “This rebellion has gone too far.” He was pleased for their arrival – he could do with some more support – Angelina really wasn’t helping matters with her sarcastic comments and blatant scariness.
Nathan frowned. “I have a horrible suspicion that they were muggle children. ...They seemed fascinated by the elves.” He had heard the Gollum comment and the conversation with preceeded it… but Nathan thought it best not to go into that. He didn’t particularly want to have to start explaining the plot of Lord of the Rings to a group of confused witches. “How the hell did they get in here? It’s a serious security breach.” Was there even ANY security in this place. He couldn’t remember EVER seeing security patrolling the place. He shook his head - easy going Nathan was officially in a bad mood.
Lola turned around to see another man by the fountain. With all that had been going on, she wasn't surprised he went unnoticed. She pulled out a white handkerchief and wiped her hands, filthy from the dirt. It didn't help much, and when she shook hands with Nathan, they became wet and her hands were left muddy.
"I'm Lola Adams," she said, wishing she hadn't just dirtied up her handkerchief.
Lola listened to Nathan's commentary on the current situation. She leaned over the fountain, now spouting murky brown water, and read some of the graffiti. She saw several gramatically incorrect messages about freeing House Elves.
"Wait, House-elves are doing this? House-elves?
she asked shocked. She couldn't understand. She didn't think that elves even wanted freedom.
"So this was caused by a few freed elves with a few screws loose in the head," she added. Her best friend growing up had a House-elf, and the little thing was so pleasant and eager to serve, she couldn't imagine any sort of rebellious movement.
She thought about cleaning off her new high heels, but upon looking at the surrounding surface, also covered in mud, she realized it was futile, and returned her attention to Nathan. Lola became more and more horrified with the events. First a House-elf rebellion, then...
Kidnapping muggle children?! Are they mad? I... What... We have to find them. Why... she was at a loss for words. She believed it was understood not to involve muggles in the magical world, after all, there were entire offices devoted to maintaining the secrecy. She knew there were a few bad eggs who toyed with the non-magical, but kidnapping muggle children was something completely different. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped, she couldn't help but looked shocked.
She frantically looked around, but alas, there were no elves and children around.
We have to find the kids! How could this even happen? How could they get in here? Lola ask, echoing the same question Nathan asked. Details about Ministry security could be dealt with later, the imminent issue at hand with muggles running around the Ministry required all the focus now.
