Cheesy Mac Reagan wasn't listening to what everyone was saying. She didn't hear a thing. Her eyes were scanning the crowd as she thought hard about what was going on. This woman who made the threats was long gone by now. Reagan just knew it. She could feel it. And while she anticipated that the woman might return, she knew it wouldn't be today.
Reagan spoke to the crowd on the stage, "May I have everyone's attention please? I am convinced that there is no longer a threat present here tonight. Security has been checking the Ministry and has come up with nothing. That woman would not stick around, even in her animagus form, and risk getting caught. No, I think she's long gone. Which means, that I think each of the Ministers would be free to return to their overnight arrangements in Diagon Alley, provided that they are accompanied by a member of law enforcement or ministry security, who will stand guard outside the door.
"Upon returning tomorrow morning for the start of the roundtable discussions, I think it best if you all arrived directly into the courtroom via portkey. I will arrange all of your portkeys and deliver them to you this evening. Law Enforcement and Security will all be guarding the courtrooms vigilantly, as well as all other Ministry Officials involved, including myself. I do not believe we should allow the reckless behaviour of one vigilante to destroy the progress that we can achieve together for the wizarding world. If that were to occur, she will have succeeded in sending a message to all the world that a mere threat is enough to derail our efforts and will, indirectly, encourage others to do the same. This cannot be allowed. We WILL find this woman and bring her to justice. But we also must proceed with business as usual."
OOC: Ministers, you are not obligated to RP your characters in Diagon Alley, though you may choose to do so if you wish. Security is not obligated from an OOC perspective to accompany the Ministers, either.
