"So you're suggesting that we keep them away from everyone??? Quarantine them like some things with a contagious plague????? Werewolves have feelings ma'am and they deserve to share in the atmosphere of a quidditch world cup just as much as any other wizard in here. And locking them in a cage would be the most embarassing thing ever. You can't treat people like animals! A cage is definitely out of the question and keeping them away from everyone else is prejudice. It would only give rise to more problems. The last thing you want to deal with when hosting a WC is a group of angry werewolves." She slid back into her chair and toyed with her pen before speaking generally.
"Have any of you even met a werewolf?"

Oh wow, enter the drama queen. This woman clearly wasn't thinking straight because CLEARLY Kaylee wasn't against the werewolves and wanted them to experience the world cup. Without these 'prejudice' precautions, everyone would be in danger! But of course, risking everyone's lives was far more ethical just so that the department could prove they were ridiculously PC. She was about to inform the melodramatic employee exactly this, but Chad had already got involved in a hope to cease any open fire that was likely to happen.

Chad took a breath himself and started to mull over things. "I understand, that everyone has their own person thoughts and ideas about werewolves, and I respect that. But, this is NOT about us. This is about every person out there, werewolves or human, and we have to look at this objectively, putting our OWN personally feelings to the side.

"Yes, I have met a werewolf and he was very nice, especially under the wolfsbane potion. Unfortunately, he was the victim of an accident..well, it's not being regarded as an accident. Anyways, there was a possibility that something could go wrong and it did. A innocent man now has an incurable disease and he's going to have to live with it for the rest of his life."

Chad took a breather before continuing. Blah, this talking stuff was hard! "Who's to say that that could not happen at the Quidditch World Cup. It's such a LARGE event, the TINIEST thing could pass us by and turn the cards in the game and it would be bad.

"There are good werewolves...and there are bad...and then there are those who aren't werewoves, but they're weird. I'm not saying anyone in this room is evil, but if we were to do ANYTHING that made it possible for werewolves to attend, the possibility of sabotage is there. They believed nothing would go wrong at Hogwarts...but something did. They went to ALL lengths to make sure that the students were safe...but still, something went wrong.

"I do not want to take that chance at the Quidditch World Cup...it could end up being very very disastrous. Hmmm..I will go over all your thoughts and think about this in the comfort of my office. We need to move on..." he looked down at the sheet of paper and found the next creature up. "House elves! Thoughts on that?"

And, again, he was talking sense and speaking exactly what was going through Kaylee's mind. She felt like giving him a standing ovation just to express how much she agreed, but that would make her like the over-dramatic harpy, now wouldn't it?

Not impressed, Chad slowly moved across the room to where Kaylee was sitting and bent over to whisper in her ear. "I believe he's yours? If you could be so kind as to inform your new associate to see me in my office as soon as possible, hmmm?"

Straightening up and moving to the front of the room, he put a smile on again. "I meant what do you think about house-elves attending the QWC? Those who belong to a family, of course," he shrugged, returning to pacing the room. "Discussion of elf rights are a matter strictly for the division itself, so you'll have to discuss that with your division head."

"Oh he is?" Kaylee whispered back, looking after the man who had just left. She hadn't had a chance to introduce herself, but she couldn't believe the only other member of her department had openly just walked out in the middle of the meeting. "Will do, Chad," she assured him.

Sounds fair and reasonable?" He liked it, but he was one person. He liked equality.

But, while standing there and waiting for reactions, all the while throwing a wave to the new employee to the department as she took a seat, a thought hit him like a ton of bricks. A thought that IF he had thought of it earlier, would have saved him from accidentally sparking a debate.

It was a thought that made him put his face in his hands, rub gently and laugh to himself. He was very amused that he hadn't thought of this before. And he was the department head!

"Mademoiselles...and Monsieurs," he finally started after a minute or so, "I am sure...you are all aware of the International Statute of Secrecy, non?" He looked around the room; hopefully they were all aware.

She nodded in recognition, wondering where he was going with this. She took it that caged seating or a private projector viewing was out of the question? But, she truly did hope he had a decent solution for them - poor dears.

That rude employee was back. She tried to give him a nice smile (she didn't wanna be a complete witch), before turning her attention back to the department head.
