"Well, think about it. The people have been planning the cup for months, it's only a few weeks away. They've only just recently released the information to us. I want to do something, but in this case there is nothing I can do. I'm a Ministry Division Head, Pandora. I don't really have the time to be a werewolf activist as well." She paused for a moment to catch her breath and giving Pandora a chance to speak before moving ahead smoothly. "As for prejudice. The day of the Cup is a full moon. The only way that werewolves could be in attendance was if the game lasted only a few hours, which has never in Quidditch World Cup history happened, or if they were kept confined in a space a ways away from the stadium, which is obviously out of the question since it would involve cages. Think about it. Once it became dark, they would start transforming. Even with the Wolfsbane potion, they can be dangerous, and they'll scare people. And we can't risk the chance that some of them might forget. I know you're unhappy, but it's the only way it can work. Think about it." She bit her lip. Chances were Pandora'd find something in that explanation that she could become angry at.
