If you ever feel powerless, remember that even a teacup can change the world.

The King is a bloody idiot. Restricting the freedoms and rights of subjects -- I believe he just tied his own noose.

[Adelaide]
Friday will happen regardless. However, we may have to resort to more medieval methods. And there won't be any bodies to worry about. There never is.

[Chef]
I have your train tickets and your bag packed. Whilst they are all on their safe setting, best not shake the bag around much. If you have any issues with muggle security, there are supplies in the inside breast pocket of your coat.

Bring me back some of that Lithuanian black vodka. I will see you on Friday. Sėkmės.

	It's hard not to feel helpless in times like this. ~~And bloody edicts from the King who likes~~ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Perhaps, but you are not alone. And there is great power in numbers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Am I not? If people speaking up like they are is who I can count myself among -- I doubt they'll be around for much longer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, there are always those who feel the need to sing from the rooftops. However within the house below their feet is a group silently seething and working towards something. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Did you have any idea this was his plan? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No. As someone with businesses throughout the muggle world, as well as a house nestled in a muggle street, this is hardly something I would ever support or encourage. Perhaps that's why he chose not to tell me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As I told Neville - a lot of people are angry, and angry people do stupid things. What is your role in this? Will you be part of the King's little team? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I see one more Purist bring the Statute of Secrecy into this... People are being moved from their homes. I am currently brushing up on my knowledge of Muggle weaponry. I imagine that will be my focus. Does this affect any of your businesses? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Then practice your knife throwing. An old favourite of mine. There's something rather artistic about the whole thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If that was a tea cup, imagine what we could do. This is what we needed. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Half the Kingdom is outraged, and the other half is chiding the first half for feeling that way. And there's more to come. He's in such denial about the true nature of these attacks, he's going to rip the Kingdom apart himself. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ah, but first the teacup must bite a muggle nose. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Of course, it must. Powerful or not, nobody gets far sitting in a crockery cupboard minding their own business. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	For us? Not really. We obviously have properties within the muggle world with muggle neighbours - my own house included - but I like to think we are sensible when it comes to our wards. The real concern is how the public is currently reacting. People aren't happy, and when people aren't happy they tend to do stupid things. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Legally? Call an emergency session of the wizengamot questioning the legal status of the king's actions. Less than? Anger should be harnassed not ignored or placated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am curious to know who he spoke to about this, as he claimed in his speech he had discussed this with dozens of people. Yet, as an adviser to the crown, I found out when you did. It makes me question the validity of his other claims. People are indeed angry, I have personally heard more than two dozen complaints. From nobles to commoners. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hopefully it wasn't the chief warlock that spends more time with a bottle than in the law. Interesting though it wasn't mentioned to you. There are plenty of words being spoken in the ministry right now, I'm sure I can see if there is any truth to his claims. Of course they are. Livelihood and money can spark a person. What do you plan to do? (Reply to this) (Parent)
