"Hey see if they could rustle up a side of nachos too!" he called out. Free food-- specially those that he didnt ask for-- was AWESOME!

Focusing back on the task at hand, he furrowed his brow and said "Hmm so, Muggles experiencing weird weather, freak accidents, missing people, black billowy streaks across the sky and the sudden appearance of a bald, pale dude with no nose.... well, they're gonna say what they always say when they cant explain things-- the Aliens have landed!"

Alice gave Salander a small smile back and listened to his answer. She laughed quietly to herself. Aliens? She knew some muggles were thinking along those lines but most were thinking end of the world. "Most muggles were thinking it was the end of the world. Nearly all the newspapers read "apocalypse" somewhere in their titles."

"Ooh good idea," Fletcher also nodded approvingly at the other Ravenclaw. Geez, what was this group? 'Claws and Gryffs? "An apocalypse is one way to describe the havoc Voldemort was wrecking, I reckon."

"Yes, exactly!" Fletcher offered Salander a knuckle-bump. "It's all the aliens' fault and the ALIENS are bringing the APOCALYPSE! All led by Michael Jackson.

As the one boy in their group ran off to get everyone grilled cheese, Fletcher cracked a grin and raised his hand to answer the question for Team White!

"Well, Professor," he started, "we think the Muggles would have reacted by trying to find a rational, normal, non-magical explanation for every odd occurence. They might have described Voldemort as some sort of 'terrorist' and compared his appearance to Michael Jackson's. They probably also would have thought aliens and UFOs were involved if they say flying cars or people on broomsticks, for example. And finally, if things got too bad and dementors were attacking left and right and building were exploding, the Muggles might just have given up hope and declared it all to be the apocalypse. Because no matter what, we all agreed that Muggles wouldn't accept that magic and wizardkind was to blame.... because obviously, in the mind of a Muggle, magic does not exist."

He nodded and looked back to his group to see if they had anything to add.

Alice nodded in agreement at what the boy had said. "That sounds about right," Alice said quietly, not wanting to sound too opinionated among so many older students.
