We enter upon London, England June 4, 2017. The information age has long since begun and a cell phone video was taken of what appears to be a man controlling a ghostly jackal with a small stick outside a worn to pieces castle on a day that, as stated by the audio, is extremely cold especially for June. The video has flown around the internet causing an international uproar overnight. Test after test have legitimatized the image, and the social networks have exploded with other similar pictures some real others not.
"Excuse me, Mr. Minister, but we must silence these uproars or our entire way of life may be torn apart and your actions thus far have done all but nothing!" exploded Auror Harry.
"You think I don't know that! If this was easy, I wouldn't have called the meeting to begin with," replied The Minister of Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt.
"I and many other (What's the phrase you use?) muggle leaders know of your kind and we have not done anything even remotely destructive of you," the Muggle Minister tried to explain.
"Ahhh...but those are a rational few," said the painting of some bearded man on the wall making the only muggle nearly jump out of his skin. "A person is smart. People, on the other hand, tend to be irrational and jump to conclusions. Additionally, England and Japan are the only countries to have been made notified of us."
"Well, Dumbledore, what do you think we should do?" Shacklebolt asked the painting.
"I think we should keep our silence and try our best to stay hidden. Most muggles still do not believe in our existence, you know," Dumbledore replied.
Washington D.C., America: emergency meeting between the President and Advisors.
"With all due respect, Madam President, your attempts to find out more in the way of this so called 'magic' have been successful in showing all but nothing," explained Vice President Mark Pryor trying very hard to keep his composure in front of all the other politicians.
"I don't know about the rest of you, but I am still unsure as to wether or not these images are just a really well printed hoax," replied Mrs. Clinton facing the same problem as her Vice President.
"Madam President, a new video of a boy no more than twelve levitating a car with just the wave of a stick and the incantation of a few words," rushed a man who had just ran into the meeting while trying, but failing to hold a large stack of files across his chest with one hand and an iPad with the other.
"Show me," commanded the President.
"Has the legitimacy been proven?" she asked as the video played.
"Right before it was taken to you," replied the man with the files.
"Madam President, we do not know the extent of these people's, and I use that word loosely, power. We must take action as soon as possible," said Presidential Advisor Johnson.
"Yes, but now is not the time to make a decision, not yet."
