When initial plans had been made for the Zoological gardens in Irvingly Percy had had his doubts. Still the plans had gone forward in the combined magical muggle community. Percy supposed it was only a matter of time until such a case came up on his desk. The incident had happened two weeks ago and Percy had received a debriefing already on the escaped fire crab but he was still directed to question the muggle involved in the incident. Since he was a member of the Irvingly community exceptions had been made to the rules and Percy was not to oblivate the man's memory in a sign of goodwill between the two co-existing communities. He could appreciate the sentiments behind such orders.

The day itself had been relatively quiet and flooing to the Irvingly Branch had been merely a matter of stepping into the fireplace of his London office and arriving in this one. He had just taken his seat when the man in question entered into the room.

"Good afternoon Mr. Sharpe. Please, do take a seat." Percy gestured to the chair on the opposite of the desk. "Would you like some water before we begin?" He was trying to be polite and the gentleman did seem a bit.... skittish. Not exactly what Percy expected of a man well aware of magic around him.
