It was a cold day when Nick walked into Diagon Alley carrying so much stuff his back was hurting so much it felt like he was carrying a entire house full of bricks. the reason he was here on such a miserable day was because of the protest he had organised for the Support Against the Abuse of Thestrals but when he got there he noticed that barely anybody was there he was slightly disappointed and whilst he waited for more people he began to think about his speech and he set up a donation stall were you could put money into a enclosed tin with a slot for money a bit like a muggle piggybank he also put a place to put banners and protest gear which he put down and hoped there would be more coming.
When more people arrived he shouted.
QUITE PLEASE, CAN I HAVE SILENCE! SILENCE!
When they fell silent he continued
WHY ARE WE HERE I HERE PEOPLE ASKING!
He saw a few people nodding.
WE ARE HERE TO GET THESTRAL RIGHTS JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE BELIEVED TO BE OMENS THEY STILL DESERVE TO BE SPOKEN FOR AND WE ARE HERE TO PROTECT THEM AND GET THE MINISTRY AND THE MINISTER TO LISTEN AND HELP! WE ARE HERE TO ERADICATE THESTRAL DISCRIMINATION WE ARE HERE TO PROTECT THESTRALS! HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS? WE DO THIS THROUGH AT FIRST PEACEFUL PROTEST BUT IF IT NEEDS IT I WILL FIGHT FOR IT BUT ANYWAY ON TO GRINGOTTS!!FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO HELP COLLECT DONATIONS OR GIVE OUT BADGES SEE ME NOW.

Crystal adjusted the cuffs of her high-necked black blouse, tugging the long sleeves down over her wrists to trap whatever warmth she could against the damp Diagon Alley air. Her outfit was practical but sharp. All black, from the structured top to the heavy, wide-legged trousers that brushed against her white trainers. It was a look that felt more like a uniform than a fashion choice, dark enough to blend into the shadows of the alley but striking enough to demand respect. She smoothed the fabric over her arms one last time, a small, grounding gesture to shake off the chill before turning her focus back to the stall.

Crystal set up a small stand along the worn stone edge of the street. She moved quickly but carefully. It wasn't anything special! A small wooden table with legs that weren't quite level. She had to use a spare piece of parchment to keep it steady. There was a banner between two poles behind her. The big letters made it impossible to miss, even in the dim light of Diagon Alley. The main part of the work was neatly laid out on the table. She had arranged a few handcrafted posters in a neat stack. Next to them, were tiny but symbolic deep, midnight blue badges, each featuring the striking silhouette of a Thestrals. Crystal had arranged them so the slogans were clear.

Then the heat came. On one side, Crystal had set out trays of baked goods. Rich, dark chocolate frosting covered cupcakes, cookies, and croissants. It was a small thing, but it was still symbolic. The deep colors were like the beings they stood for: misunderstood, mysterious, and beautiful in ways that most people wouldn't admit. People had ignored or been afraid of Thestrals for too long because they couldn't see them.

As if not being seen meant not being worthy. Like not being able to see made it okay to not be nice. Nick had turned down that idea from the start, and that spark of rebellion had grown into SAAT. Support Against the Abuse of Thestrals. Crystal felt a quiet sense of pride as she stood there, part of the movement. Crystal was proud to be standing there as a part of the movement. The purpose of the club was to hold people accountable, not to be attention seeking.

Crystal didn't try to outdo Nick as he finished shouting and the crowd began to move. Instead, she noticed a few people standing by and gave them a gentle, affirmative gesture, and then pointed to the badges and then the warm treats. She was the calm behind the storm, and she knew that the people facing her would be a part of a movement that was orderly, friendly, and hard to miss.

"i say" darkolivegreen

Thirteenth of April, 2026. It was a quite cold Monday, but not a normal "quite cold Monday". It was the day of the SAAT protest, located on Gringotts. Poor Nick, with all this effort to organize the protest!

She arrived at the place few minutes after the organizer arrived, she guessed, because Nick was with the face expression of someone who was thinking. Maybe of the exact words he would say during the protest, but who knows?

As more people arrived, Nick started the protest. That action made her think what would be her "job". Protesting or getting people to donate and wear SAAT badges?

On one hand, making people donate money was a calm job that can guarentee that there was lots of funds.

On the other hand, protesting, can show to her classmates her capacity of ARGUING and her hidden personality, and, even better, change the world. Or, at least, change draw attention to some people.

Protesting it would be. "AT LEAST WE TRY TO MAKE THE TRUTH VISIBLE FOR YOU!! SUPPORT THE THESTRALS! MAKE THE TRUTH VISIBLE! SUPPORT THE THESTRALS!"

That made her rush to Nicholas to ask "Is there any chance that I can paint a piece of card or... Maybe better: do you have an actual poster or..." She assumed that he understood what she was saying. The words missing were 'something like that', probably, but She chose not to pronounce them.

Waiting for a reply, she stayed with the other activists, staring at random places. Nick seemed to take his time answering, what Alex thought that wasn't really a 'Nick thing'.

Role - Secretary

I had a notepad in hand in case anybody wanted to join. As secretary, I would probably have to keep track of what happens in our first protest. The club had grown to have a lot of people. I quietly noted down all their names. That was important as written documentation of the people present.

Gringotts was filled with people, going about their day-to-day business. The goblins looked at us tentatively, then ignored us. I had only been to Gringotts once before with my mum. It still surprised me. How dragons guarded some of the vaults and the roller coaster ride it took to go down there.

People looked up from what they what they were doing when we walked in. Nick gave a little speech about what we were doing, and it was pretty persuasive. I walked over to him to get some badges to hand out to people.

"Hi Nick! Can I get a badge box?"

He handed me one and I looked around for people who looked interested. A group of a few people were looking our way and I walked up to them. They didn't look like a family, so they were probably friends.

"Support Thestrals! They are greatly misunderstood. Show your support by wearing one of these badges. Please donate to the people who're collecting money! SAVE THE THESTRALS!"

As people started to get ready grabbing posters poles and badges. Whilst Nick was giving people tins of badges and donation tins someone he knew asked him a question without looking up from the book he was writing the number of people who had turned up and other statistics and quickly said.
Yes there in the big box on the right
He looked up and recognised it them as Alex Adams. He then saw his secretary Natasha Blackwood come up and he gave her a box of badges and a collecting boxes.
He started to collect stuff and answer questions until a bit after 1:00 pm when the collectors had been sent off Nick shouted to the people who had decided to help with the protest he shouted.
ALRIGHTY PEOPLE WE NO-
He realised they were talking.
SILENCE! I SAID SILENCE!
He sighed and fired green sparks out of his wand to get them to notice.
SILENCE!!! THANK YOU, NOW AS I WAS SAYING SOON WE MARCH BUT FIRST GET GET ANYTHING YUO NEED BANNERS POSTERS AND OTHER STUFF ARE IN THE BOXES WE WILL START MATCHING AT TWO PM IN HALF AN HOUR THEN WE MARCH UP TO GRINGOTTS AND MAKE PEOPLE LISTEN!
Whilst everyone ran to get stuff he walked over to Natasha as she was giving badges to people.
Remind me next time to bring a megaphone or some symbols also note down the estimated number of people here I’ve got roughly 100 people which is more than I expected 15 of which are doing collecting so can you give them a quick briefing whilst I talk to the others in roughly…
He checked his watch.
...twenty-seven minutes.
At around 2:55 Nick once again shot green sparks from his wand.
EVERYBODY VERY SOON WE START SO I WANT EVERYONE READY IN THREE MINUTES.
He waited a bit before shouting
WHEN I SHOO RED SPARKS FROM MY WAND WE MARCH
He went to the front of the line and shot red sparks from his wand and started marching down Diagon Alley

Nick pointed that the needed material was inside a box, and that 'needed material' was a finished poster. Whoever made the poster had some writing and designing skills, she had to admit. The poster was navy with some thin big letters forming the words "We are here to get thestral rights... Cool!"

Nick talked and talked and talked, stating that after he shot a possible Periculum, they had to march behind him. And he shoot it, with even more talking. Good 'talking', though. She lifted up her thick poster and accompanied the others, imitating their movements, but not their speech. "YOU!" she pointed at an old ministry worker "YOU" she pointed at a blonde Lady in her thirties holding a baby "aaaand YOU!" maybe its was too much. Alex pointed at the baby. She laughed and whispered saying sorry. "ALL OF YOU, IMAGINE HOW IS BEING A THESTRAL. OR EVEN ANY OTHER CREATURE. IMAGINE HOW HARD IT IS! IMAGINE HOW THEY SUFFER WITH THE HUMAN DISCRIMINATION. WITH THE ABUSE. WOULD YOU LIKE IT? I AM SURE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE IT WOULDN'T YOU? OF COURSE NOT! SO WHY DOES THE MINISTRY ALLOWS IT? I REALLY DON'T KNOW, HONESTLY."

Alex spotted three children running and shopping just to watch them. Without being sure that it was aloud, she offered. "Hey, yall! You like this, uh? Maybe you could go and ask you mummies if you can join. Grab a poster and make some phrases up, no one will notice that you are not supposed to be here!" She watched the little kids rush to a young women. Changing little minds this way can really become changing great futures.
