18th June 2018

How might you react if the famed Mona Lisa, sitting serenely at the Louvre Museum in Paris, suddenly hopped out of her frame to quip knowingly at you in Italian? Even an equable wix might be startled! As such, none of us can blame muggles for working themselves up into a panic when this exact scenario played out yesterday afternoon.

The phenomenon was not restricted to the smiling Florentine. Shortly after the lunch hour, nearly all works of art at the museum had become animated. Statues stepped down from their platforms, murals sprung to life in their confinements, and even The Wedding at Cana soon became a brawl.

Initially, muggle visitors were diverted and amused by this turn of events. It did not take long for this to change as the behaviour of these works of art were not always charming. In fact, Niké of Samothrace was spotted chasing a gaggle of Hogwarts students[1] who happened to be visiting the Louvre at the time.

"It was mad," commented Feliks Spectre (17) a recent graduate. "I'm laughing now but it was chaos in the moment and the poor muggles were out of their minds. I don't see how something like this could serve a sane purpose."

Some had more incisive thoughts on the incident. Nicodemus Avery (16) pointed out that "someone is trying to send a message, obviously. I think people, our kind, are getting rather tired of it all."

Out of the mouth of babes, or so the French Ministry[2] would say. A representative of L'Assemblée's Foreign Affairs released a statement yesterday evening criticizing both the British Ministry and CAWW for failing to stamp out the expansion of Futurist extremism in their respective territories.

"And now," the statement reads, "this terrible poison has reached our shores and threatens the safety of wixes across the globe."

Despite the levity with which some might view the incident at the Louvre, it was considered a major breach of the Statute of Secrecy: one that demanded the full attention of L'Assemblée's Obliviators to control not only corporeal effects but the spread of evidence through the muggle internet.

Investigations are currently underway as to how extremists were able to orchestrate such an elaborate plan in the heart of Paris without being detected by magical or muggle authorities.
