Dragons and Burglaries!

[alt_lavender]

Did any of you go out to the shops today in time to see this DRAGON that apparently burst out of Gringotts and went flying off?

My brother Tibs was at the Leaky Cauldron with some of his mates and he said that he heard this enormous roar and they all went out to look and saw this giant wingspan over their heads. I halfway thought he was trying to put one over on me until I heard about it on the wireless!

I remember when they brought the dragons in for the Triwizard and I wouldn't fancy being anywhere near one that had got loose!

Now they're saying it's a burglary but who on earth would be foolish enough to break into Gringotts? Those horrid Dogstar people? Or the Crimson Company maybe?

If I hadn't heard it confirmed on the wireless, I'd have been concerned your brother was seeing things!

How very dramatic.

And they didn't even manage to actually take anything, apparently. Other than the dragon, of course.

Lavender,

Yes, it's well disturbing, isn't it. It was all over the wireless yesterday (and today, though one must point out in a slightly different tone). It would seem even New London is no longer safe for the average subject of Our Lord's benevolent land.

As for who is responsible, I'm sure one could conceive any number of likely desperate characters. It's most unfortunate that so few seem content to truly enjoy the prosperity which the Protectorate provides. Imagine, it might even have been someone grown absolutely desperate for a meagre amount of gold, what! Jolly well shocking, to think that people have turned to crime like that.
