While my people knew something bad was happening and that it pertained to the war, they didn’t know just how bad it was. The magical communities were mostly unaffected in the battle, even though Diagon and Knockturn Alley were nearby. I believed that the communities were mostly untouched by the untold battles for Inferi held in the non magical world and the fact that many of them had already fled to France. According to Marie-Claire, many were hesitant to return to Avalon.
