"We tried modifying as many memories as possible sir. But it was all over the muggle news in minutes. What are we going to do?"
The Minister of Magic sat at his desk. His head in his hands and his elbows propped up against his desk. This was a disaster. This should never have happened.
"Sir? This is urgent sir. We need you to think of the best way to proceed. I have a statement from William; The Head Auror. He thinks we should start to protect certain places as quickly as we can. We don't know what the muggle can do.... Sir?"
He needed to avoid war. The muggles recently had two horrible world wars and he had seen the destruction. He knew what they were capable of if they saw something as a threat.
"Sir? Please! We need to fig--"
His senior secretary was cut off by a shrill ringing of the muggle telephone he had installed after realizing the Prime Minister might need to contact him in any way. He reached over with a cautious hand and picked up the strange device and held it to his ear.
"Minister of Magic speaking." His voice was shaky, still unsure of how to handle the situation.
"Ahh yes. Minister. This is the Prime Minister." Obviously.
"And how may I help you Prime Minister?"
"You see, we all have seen the unfortunate event that happened earlier this morning. I am sorry to say it is something that can not be repressed. Everyone around the world knows now, as you know very well how fast world travels. Especially of something like this. We - The United States, France, Germany, Spain... actually I have no idea who didn't want to partake in this - are sending you an ultimatum. Destroy all magical devices and become normal."
This was bad. This was really bad. He sputtered out the coffee he was drinking all over the papers, this was too much. "You're asking something you know we can't do."
"Then I am sorry. You know what will happen now."
The Prime Minister hung up on him, and the Minister put the phone down, and resumed his old position - his head in his hands, his elbows propped up against his desk.
"What is it Sir? Sir?" His annoying secretary wasn't going to leave him alone.
"They've declared war."
And he did something ridiculous and very inappropriate for such a time. He laughed.
