I saw Cormac's Ministry Security forming up a semi-circle around us, handing out the muggle weapons as the protesters got skittish. Draco and some of the others were issuing the gas masks and helping people put them on. It was unnerving to see this much muggle technology appear in the middle of Diagon Alley, particularly since Pansy was effectively leading the fellow eighth years in how to defend themselves against the muggle rounds.
