Elder Blood Witcher 305 Paper Please?

Today the group had decided to go to the local pet store in Diagon Alley to buy Nerissa or "Snuffles" a comfortable bed, brush and other things a young girl/rabbit would like. Anything that'd make her stay in Hogwarts with them more enjoyable will be considered.

Still, same as yesterday night. Everyone's gaze seems to be attracted towards the duo, some even quickly turning away if they are noticed, Reima didn't really care but Ciri finally snapped, she stands up and quickly walks over to a man who was sending small glances at her.

Ciri "Is something wrong? You seem to be very captivated by us."

"Uh, no, er... Please Miss Rivia, I meant no harm." the man stutters through his sentence as if he was face to face with a Dementor.

Ciri "No, please. Educate me on why you, and everyone else for that matter" she says looking around the room as people hurriedly look away. "Keep looking at me and my friend."

The man appears to be shivering at this point and points a shaking finger at a nearby paper, the daily prophet.

Picking up the paper her face immediately becomes frosty as a look of anger overtakes her. She walks back to Reima, not even noticing that she'd just stolen the mans paper and roughly throws it onto his chest. "Look at this!"

Reima reluctantly stops sipping on his soup and takes a look at the news paper... "Ciri Rivia, Savage or Saviour?" the words appear in bold, prominently featured on the front page... "Oh c.r.a.p, this isn't going to go well.." he mentally complains to the G.o.ds of the 4th dimension and higher.

Under the bold t.i.tle is a large moving picture that funnily enough features himself, the angle seems to be from behind him and captures part of his face, hair and sword. In-front of him are the many people dressed up in Death Eater attire completely wreathed in flames, the person who cast the fire? Well, it's Ciri, obivously. She's standing above them on a pile of rubble, one hand on a sword stabbed into the ground appearing to keep her steady as her other hand points a staff which spews out a torrent of fire at her unfortunate victims. Reima isn't really sure if this should be allowed to be featured in a news paper as it's incredibly brutal, he can see from the photo that those men are literally burning alive, their visible skin bubbling and melting away from their very bones... Another thing that's got him confused is how he hadn't noticed whoever took this photo.

He looks down at the writer of the article and finally sees the culprit, Rita Skeeter... He had to admit, he hadn't been keeping an eye out for her as his attention was elsewhere during these highly volatile situation, but he had thought we would have at least noticed her. Especially when he was fully utilising his Haki during the Death Eater raid, this is something he should investigate further should he have the time.

He looks back to Ciri, "What's the problem?" he asks and immediately regrets his wording.

Ciri "Really! What's the problem!?! She'd making me out to be some kind of blood thirsty psychopath!"

Reima "Err, are you not?" he jokes, but receives a vicious glare from his angry companion.

"Right, sorry.. Well, don't mind it. Most older people still remember the Death Eater raids, these people attempting to do the same thing have definitely dug up bad memories and you'll probably be thanked by them for putting such sick individuals out of their misery."

Ciri "So older people won't listen to this tripe? But what of the people inside of Hogwarts, need I remind you we'll be attending the school in a few days?"

Reima shrugs, "Just be yourself, do you really want the admiration of sheep anyway?"

With her temper temporarily quelled she sits down next to Nerissa and continues eating her soup, while Reima flips through the rest of the paper to see what's happening.

Few t.i.tles actually catch his attention apart from "Harry Potter injured in Terrorist attack!", "Bounty for Golden Lion", "Rising tensions with Vampire families" and "Muggles asking questions about recent "Mystical" events?"

The attack on Harry is already known to Reima, how could it not, he was there after-all. He was slightly surprised that it was actually reported however, the golden-boy of Dumbledore and Britain as a whole being injured in an attack is incredibly bad press.

A bounty being put out for the "Golden Lion" isn't a bad deal either, he'll likely not use this alias again in this world. Other than that his gaze is drawn towards the last two, Obviously anything to do with vampires directly relates to the situation with Nerissa, as he and Ciri had found out, she's probably the vampire with the most potential around... Something the Vampire families are most likely already aware of, if their attempts to capture her are any indication. Other than that, the Muggles finally wising up due to "Mystical events" may be his fault... He did cause a rather large panic after robbing the largest Library in London while completely disregarding any detecting they may have had. Personally he doesn't care but he wonder how this'll affect the future of this world, should wizards and witches be discovered by the public, what would happen? Only time will tell.
