Excellent post! I love the concept (very creative!) and the graphics -- wonderful work!
*growls, sounding a bit weary* Miss Black... *flashes an Auror's badge at her* I'm Auror Moody and I'd like to ask you a couple questions, if you wouldn't mind...
Hee! Thank you! Just one of those things that has flowed from a few previous RP's posts. *adores* Also? This is going to be very very interesting.
*smiles and offers her hand elegantly, fingertips curved down* *cheeks flush prettily and she ducks her head once* Of course, Auror Moody. What is this in regard to? If you wouldn't mind telling me, that is?
Quite welcome! :-) Isn't it nice when those things flow -- almost like the posts take care of themselves! ;-) Indeed it will! Also, I hope I've got the timeline of these events down properly -- please correct me if I'm wrong!
*eyebrows shoot upwards as she offers her hand* *uncomfortably, takes her hand, chastely kisses the back of it* *grunts* Pleased to make your acquaintance. *releases her hand quickly* *gruff* Well, I'm here in regards to some nasty business. Not sure if it's fit to tell a young lady like yourself...
Well, I tend to think so, yes! *snorts* Okay! *is very curious why Moody is here*
*smiles at the gesture then shifts in her chair and primly crosses her legs, tipping her chin down so she actually looks even younger than her 15 years* *looks a bit frightened* My Mum is alright isn't she? Nothing's happened to my family has it?
*g* hee, He has a point... And if he doesn't go off on a war story tangent, he might even get to it!
*growls, quickly* No, no, nothing like that... *gruff* I would have asked you to sit down straightaway if I had bad news like that... *growls* I just needed to ask you a few questions about an acquaintance of yours...
*concerned* I hope they compensate you for such a dismal occupation.
*eyebrows raise* I'm afraid I don't know exactly what you mean by 'fairly familiar' but he is a friend of my family's and Lucius', and he has tutored me in Defence on a few occasions.
*smirks slightly, faintly amused* Compensate? Oh, they do... Somewhat... *smirk turns to a scowl, becomes quite serious* Though, catching the bastards -- pardon my language, miss -- who cause such pain, makes the job more worthwhile than the galleons...
*nods* I see, I see... Have you ever spent time with him, alone, outside of lessons?
Perhaps my father could speak to the Ministry about it. You really should have paid holidays or longer ones. Or perhaps generous bonuses for such needs. *flinches openly at his language but nods* It must be, yes.
*looks quite scandalized* Auror Moody! Of course, I've not. That would be very inappropriate for me to be alone with a man that much older than I without a chaperone. We are never alone.
*shakes his head* That's very kind of you... *growls* But honestly, I don't take the holidays I have already... Too much work to do.
*quickly* Oh, of course... I didn't mean to imply anything improper was going on, miss. Just trying to understand how well you know Rodolphus... You see?
*faint smile at the compliment then looks softly reprooving* Really. You should. Otherwise you risk working yourself until you are ill. And think of the dark wizards that would escape should you become ill.
*still looking shocked* I assure you there is nothing improper between Rodolphus and I, Auror Moody. He's a very proper gentleman and a good wizard. What is this about, really?
*sympathetically* That's how I hear it happens. Perfectly fine for years then suddenly- *low breath of awed shock* You just die.
*eyebrows raise* Muggle London? I wouldn't say he's familiar but he did take me onto that side of the Leaky Cauldron. *blushes lightly* We only walked for a block before he apparated me back. I'm afraid it was far too overwhelming and I started to panic.

*nods slightly then asks in a quiet voice*
Do you have to do that often? Tell girls that their Mums have been hurt? Or their big sisters?
*inclines her head*
I have many acquaintances but I'm happy to help how I can, if I know anything of use.

Having to do it at all, is more often than I'd prefer.
*gruff*
Well, I'm only here to ask about one... The fellow Rodolphus Lestrange... Are you acquainted with him?
Reply
Yes. I really can't imagine having to do that. It must be a very difficult job.
*smiles*
Of course, Auror Moody. The Lestranges are a very fine and old wizarding family. We have met on many occasions.
Reply
Well, someone has to do it...
*smiles thinly*
Very good.
*growls*
And their son Rodolphus, are you fairly familiar with him, hmm?

Thank you for your concern... But I'm pretty healthy -- haven't had to take a sick day in years...
*ignores her question*
Do you happen to know... Rodolphus, is he familiar with London? With Muggle London?
Reply
