Unexpected Developments

From the table that Ron and Dean were sitting at, there's a loud exclamation of, "I knew I'd read that name somewhere. Nicholas Flamel worked with the Headmaster on the discovery of dragons blood."

With that interruption, everyone else looks over before going back to what they were doing.

Kitty's looking for a particular patients file, and has been looking for the last 10 minutes. According to the computer, they last came in 5 years ago, and Amelia needs the x-rays that were taken at the time. Of course, the practice has been refurbished twice, the appointment book has been replaced by a computer, and the receptionist that did the filing retired. The problem is, it's not the first time this has happened this week. When she started here just after Christmas, this was all new and fun, and quaint. Now it's just frustrating, as they could have had the whole thing scanned and indexed in minutes, except Earth doesn't have that ability so they can't use it. She could just ask Danjell or Amelia, but again they're not supposed to know. To make matters worse, the patient is next on the list, and once they go in, she only has minutes left to find it.

With a frustrated huff she puts the current box of records back on the shelf with a huff and calls out, "Where are you, you void sucking file."

Much to her surprise, a box on the other side of the room falls off the shelf, spilling its contents over the floor, as a single file flies out to her hand. She's so surprised at the appearance that she stands there for a good minute before Anne leans around the doorway, "Kitty, have you found the file yet?"

Looking back over her shoulder, Kitty closes her mouth with a click, "Uh, yes? Yes, here you go. I, um, had some trouble getting it out... Here, I'll just tidy up the other files and Sue can take this one in for Emma."

Less than a minute later, there's a soft crack of displaced air, and Kitty spins around, bringing up her amp before quickly lowering it when she recognises the style of robe. The person flicks their wand out, and Kitty's arms and legs stick together. Just as she's about to call her Nezha, the person finishes casting another spell at her before slashing their wand and dispelling the spell.

Pushing back her hood, Hestia smiles, "Sorry about that. My name's Hestia Jones, and I'm with the Improper Use of Magic office. We detected some accidental magic here, and as this isn't a residential address we're obliged to investigate. Did you witness the person that performed the magic?"

Kitty opens and closes her mouth as she tries to understand what was just said.

{KittyKavat} @MissKitty, Um, someone says they're from an improper magic office, what do I do?

{MissKitty} Did they say why they were there?

{KittyKavat} Something about accidental magic.

{MissKitty} Be as honest as you can without revealing the other universe.

Hestia speaks up, "I'm sorry to push you, but if you don't answer in a moment, I'll be forced to call an Auror to take you into custody."

Kitty shakes her head, "Uh, sorry but I honestly have no idea what you meant. I only moved here at Christmas. What's an Auror, and what's accidental magic."

This time it's Hestia's turn to stare at Kitty, "How can you have got to 18 without knowing about that, even if you have just moved here? Where did you take your NEWTs?"

Kitty shakes her head, "I don't know what NEWTs are. And why would I know what those things are? Harry said I could use the Potter vaults when he invited me to his clan, but I've never been there."
