"Okay, it seems as if there has been a sighting of a large snake in a graveyard slithering around some random graveyard in the backend of rural England," Nick announced, looking completely fed up with what he had already seen that day.
It was only 10 AM, where had the day gone?
"So, it's probably escaped from some random zoo or collector? Why should that bother us?" Josh asked, still trying to work out how exactly he fits into this scenario.
"I've been calling round any local Herpetologists, few and far between, but so far they have had difficulties placing the exact species of snake," Emily replied sighing as she hung up on the phone.
"How is that even possible, a good Herpetologist should be able to place the exact species of snake with ease. They're experts for a reason though right?" Donna frowned, as she wondered what it could have taken to stump the experts.
"It should be, but there were no photos of the snake left behind, only eyewitness accounts. From the many accounts, however, so far, it seems as if it could be many different species." Derek replied looking over at Penelope as he looked over at the woman.
"It's fair to say that you can't always rely on eyewitness accounts to be accurate. But I still don't get why this should worry us, I mean does this have anything to do with the Magical community?" Penelope asked, frowning.
"It doesn't seem as if it would be, but there was a big cauldron in the centre of a clearing and a large green smoky skull floating in the sky." JJ sighed, as she tied her hair back.
It was a clear sign that things were getting serious if JJ was tying back her hair!
"That seems like it could be serious, do we need to be concerned, about it?" Spencer inquired.
"Yeah, we should keep an eye on this, last time a skull was spotted in the sky, it was a bad omen. Especially with the reports of the large snake, it is concerning." Abbey frowned, exchanging a look with Jed.
The two looked concerned, they could well remember some of the atrocities committed (on both sides) during the last Wizarding War, they hoped that the tensions weren't beginning to boil over again.
"Hopefully it's not that AGAIN but has the Ministry even said anything about this?" Toby's voice rumbled through his chest.
"So far, no, they might be attempting to cover up whatever happened," CJ replied.
"They did that last time, didn't they? Fudge might have decided that anything that could threaten his grip of control over the British Wizarding Community. If anything could be seen as a flaw, or weakness to him, he might want to eliminate any threats." Mike evenly bit out.
Mike was wondering if he should begin to start preparing himself to make yet another visit to the Ministry of Abbey.
He also wondered why Abbey hadn't been banned or blacklisted at the Ministry, especially with regards to how much she shouted at Fudge.
Not that he could feel much sympathy for the incompetent political leader.
He (Fudge) had dug his grave and now as far as Mike was concerned, he could lie in it!
