A Visit from the Minister

Jeremy walked along the hallways of Hogwarts and came across the Staff Room, where he was expecting to end up in. He entered the room and saw the professors all there and sitting. "Hello. I am Jeremy Rufford, minister of magic. I want to have a word with all the professors." he helped himself to a seat that was closest to the door.

Selene stood on the coffee bar, helping herself to a nice, warm cup of hazelnut flavored coffee, when the door opened and a man entered.
"Hello. I am Jeremy Rufford, minister of magic. I want to have a word with all the professors." Mr. Rufford announced. She had heard of him, but had not yet be honored to meet him.
"Welcome to Hogwarts Mister Rufford." she greeted him.

Ambrosius was discussing one of his lessons with Professor Vega when he heard the door open. Turning around, he recognized the man who had just walked in, having seen his picture numerous times decorating the pages of the Daily Prophet. "Hello. I am Jeremy Rufford, minister of magic. I want to have a word with all the professors." Jeremy Rufford announced, taking a seat. "Good afternoon, minister." Ambrosius replied in a rather official tone, while his colleague was welcoming him to Hogwarts. Observing the minister a bit more closely, Ambrosius detected concern on his face. He didn't know to what they owed the pleasure of his visit, but it didn't seem to be good news.

After sipping from his cup of coffee, the door burst open revealing a guy in a formal clothes. ""Hello. I am Jeremy Rufford, minister of magic. I want to have a word with all the professors." Ashton was a bit surprised seeing a minister enter the staff room and talking to the professors directly. He wondered why they didn't even have any warning or word from the headmaster first.

Professor Vega and Professor Umbranox greeted him back. Ashton, on the other hand, nodded without saying a word, still trying to taste the coffee on his mouth.

"I don't come to Hogwarts often. I was recently gone for a talk with the headmaster, and I must now talk to all professors. I am going to get right down to the point, there is something in Hogwarts that I want. It's a book, hidden in Hogwarts. Do any of you know anything about this?" Jeremy asked, carefully scanning faces around the room.

I am going to get right down to the point, there is something in Hogwarts that I want. It's a book, hidden in Hogwarts. Do any of you know anything about this?" James thought it carefully, he indeed was using a special book he found, a potions book, full of strange potions, really, but it can't be anything of that. He tried carefully to maintain innocence in his face, which was not so hard, as he always had a straight face.

"Do any of you know anything about this?" the minister interrogated, his gaze sweeping the room, examining the professors one by one. Ambrosius fixed the man directly in the eyes, and calmly responded: "With all due respect minister, Hogwarts contains tens of thousands of different books. Without any further specifications, I am afraid we cannot help you with your quest."

"With all due respect minister, Hogwarts contains tens of thousands of different books. Without any further specifications, I am afraid we cannot help you with your quest." The man said.

Jeremy opened his mouth and said, "The book has details and contents that regular Hogwarts students will not know about and should not know about. It can be anywhere, not just a Hogwarts Library, where it is less likely to be hidden. I have a guess that this book is hidden somewhere special, lost for years, centuries possibly, and I want professors to keep an eye out on anything of that nature, and anyone who is aware of such, and does not report this privately to me," he paused. "Will," he continued, a bit softer "put the ministry one step behind from bringing peace to the wizarding world."

The minister informed them about a book that, as he described it, is very dangerous and a threat to all of them. Ashton thought for it at a moment and agreed with what Professor Umbranox told him, having ten thousands of books in the castle. "The book has details and contents that regular Hogwarts students will not know about and should not know about. It can be anywhere, not just a Hogwarts Library, where it is less likely to be hidden. I have a guess that this book is hidden somewhere special, lost for years, centuries possibly, and I want professors to keep an eye out on anything of that nature, and anyone who is aware of such, and does not report this privately to me will put the ministry one step behind from bringing peace to the wizarding world," the minister told them.

"Minister, if you will allow me, is it just book that you have a clue on this object? Yes, there are a lot of books in the castle and maybe hundreds of them are suspicious enough for us and the students not to touch it. Do you have any more information about this thing?" Ashton tried to address the minister as respectful as possible.

As she followed in the men's conversation, Selene felt lost. She had really no idea of what kind of book the Minister could be looking for, and it seemed that the other professor didn't either. Slowly walking toward one of the couches, she sat down, trying to follow to what they were saying, in hopes that she may learn something else about Hogwarts that she hadn't during her school years.

Tarik listened closely to the minister, he has not heard about any particular book but he did not like the way minister was approaching to them. "Minister if I followed you correctly you want us to tell you if we possess any book which contents should not be known by the students, well for myself I have some books with spells that are above the students level and they should not know about it. Plus I would hate to see that you are implying that some of us here would hide the possession of book of such magnitude form the ministry, well it may be silly from me but that threat of yours really made me uneasy." Tarik said to minister.
