Ed sat silently through the presentation, grateful the emergency of the moment wasn't like... a Quidditch riot.  That had been fun.  Not that he hadn't been affected by the fog, the Howlers were in Irvingly after all, but his concerns were not as dire as some of the other Heads present.  Certainly not as much as Mr. Ross who'd practically jumped to speak first.  His intensity spurred Ed to speak next before things really kicked off.  With any luck he could get his bit in and then sit back for the worst of it.  

"Are we actively testing if brooms are affected?  If they are safe they may relieve some of the pressure on transportation."  He was quite happy with the segue.  He got to bring his stuff up while still making it about the other department which was borderline valiant if you asked him.

"And on a related note - if the Howler's stadium is unavailable for much longer we'll have to rework the Quidditch schedule which is..." he ended with a shake of his head.  This was his actual concern.  Scheduling in the middle of a season was a nightmare.
