As the Ministry employees flew through the office doorway with their Department Head, each shouting spells and preparing to destroy their enemies, the living figurines, awaiting them in the lavish office was most likely, something of a surpise. The spells hit the bookcase sending papers flying everywhere, pictures were knocked off the walls, and the desk chair was blown into several pieces but what was strange was the witches and wizards' real targets.
Sitting on the desk, huddled around the gift of a statue, that Luara Miller had given Armen the Dept. Head, were the snake, lion, eagle, and badger figurines all frozen again. Beside them was a note, written rather hastely and with a series of curious signatures at the bottom:

Dear Humans,
After finally getting past you and your magic sticks we have finally been reunited with the clay that we were made from. What are we talking about you may ask? Well a long time ago, the four of us came from a large pile of magical or bewitched clay found by an old wizard. He never intended to make anything but someone stole it from him and created each of us, to represent the Four Hogwarts Houses that they were so envious of. Then the man who created us (the store owner) put the rest of our clay away and then one day created this statue out of it. When it left the store we came to life. We were seperated from the rest of our family. We are terribly sorry about the destruction your building has recieved but it was a necessary action to be reunited with our kin.
Many appologies magic stick bearers,
sssssnake, lion, Eagle, BADGER <3!
Each of the figurines were frozen, gazing happily at the statue that was rightfully theirs.
