Ugh, the last thing he wanted to talk about was veela. He didn't really know how those creatures managed to find their way into British society — even to find a wealthy husband they'd have to come from somewhere. Perhaps Minister Ross should send the Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures to see if there were new colonies (flocks?) of veela on the coasts.

"Half the lawyers believe the veela should be granted the same rights as any other beings — others think they should lose their being status completely and be labeled beasts," he explained with a roll of his eyes. "Unfortunately for them, another department is responsible for initiating change, and they're not apart of that department." Didn't they have other issues to concern themselves with?
