"So", Fudge said nervously, "that's the situation we have here". Fudge distinctly did not like the man sitting across the table from him. Bereft of magic yes, he still possessed a frightening aura, as all these strange muggle leaders did. He disliked their encounters, they always left him feeling somehow vulnerable, like he was on a table being dissected.

"So what you're saying. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is that some of your wizard criminals want to kill all of us, as they would put it, "muggles", for some twisted ideology of pure bloodedness." Prime Minister Snow looked almost bored with the idea.

"Yes, in essence, that is correct." Fudge did not like the way the man was staring at him.

"And what can we do about this? I know us", his voice turned wry, "muggles have killed wizards before, aided with nothing but ancient contraptions like crossbows".

"Oh these criminals are far more dangerous than you know", despite himself, Fudge was confident in this, "muggles couldn't hope to take down a Death-Eater".

Snow hated Fudge. The little weasely man, too self-important to take into account those outside his own very-small sphere of influence. Apparently this "Voldemort" fellow had been responsible for many incidents in the past. Incidents that were described, without fail, as abnormal, unrelated occurrences. The thought of "muggle" assistence had probably never occurred to the wizarding world. If anything, Snow considered, it might be pure luck that he was being informed at all.

Wizards in general, by his estimation, were almost as handicapped by their magic as they were empowered. Even their prime minister, unless he missed his guess, probably didn't know what guns did, let alone time bombs or poisons. He had read a book of their "muggle studies", a laughably shallow understanding of the other 6 billion people on the planet. Guns described as "a kind of metal wand that Muggles use to kill each other", electricity described as a mystical, impossible force, also implied to be largely useless. If the death eaters were as childish in their estimations of the everyman, then they might be easier to track and assassinate than any of the Nazis.

None of these emotions played out on his face. "We shall see about that then" Snow frowned "I don't suppose I could borrow some of your combat-wizards, and perhaps a convict or two for combat practice.

"No problem! No problem!" Fudge was relieved the meeting seemed to be ending.

Snow picked up the phone, "we have an urgent situation, inform Harper, Bauer, Zhao, and Prokofiev that we need to meet, back channels, nobody can know of this."

Snow had just finished his exposition to the various heads of state.

Harper nodded grimly, rage boiling beneath a veneer of calm, "the American wizards have told me nothing". He chuckled, almost like he had just heard an old joke. "You'd think that genocidal maniacs with mind controlling powers would be significant enough to mention"

"The Chinese do not inform me even of changes in leadership, I suspect they are even more backwards than their western cousins", Zhao frowned.

"They tell us little always" Prokofiev said "they think us to be simpletons, incompetents, harmless".

"Good" Bauer, more than any of the other elderly heads of state, seemed angry, "Then these bastards will not know we are coming".

"I would be willing to bet that even if we called the UN into session right now, calling for a specialty strike force against abnormal opponents with unknown abilities, this subject Vega as you say would not know we were coming" Harper's second laugh was more genuine than the first.

"Then we are agreed" Snow said "project Mockingbird will begin today".

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

I didn't want to use any real world politicians. Somehow it made it all seem less serious. The countries being represented are the UK, America, Germany, Russia, and China. Of course, Germany indirectly contacts the rest of the EU. It's all immaterial to the bulk of the story but I feel the need to explain haha.

Regarding how "realistic" this is going to be... I haven't decided yet. My basic assumption is that the attitudes shown and implied towards muggles by the books hold. I probably won't delve deeper in what those attitudes could mean for society, or into various economic issues the wizarding world must have, simply because it will get in the way of the narrative I am trying to present.
