After the earlier scolding for being late, Derfel was content to sit at the back and listen to the meeting. It was his first day so how could anything he say be of significance. He began to have seconds thoughts. Maybe he should have introduced himself at the spirit division first?
He quickly dismissed these thoughts and concentrated on the discussion. Ghosts, werewolves and house elves so far... Another thought struck him and he raised his hand, waiting for an opportunity to speak.
