Edgeworth [2/3]

[kaitodoushi]

Background (AU!Canon; HP): Miles was born in London, son of a Wizengamot member Gregory Edgeworth and a Muggle mother who died shortly after his birth. Despite having one parent who was busy with his job, he had a relatively happy childhood. Due to the circumstances, he was allowed to go to work with his father every now and again, where he would delightedly watch the proceedings his father went through every day. By a very early age he had already decided that he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and join the High Wizard Court.

He was accepted to Hogwarts and did very well in his first year there. However, tragedy struck that summer, as his father was killed in a dark wizard attack while returning home from work. Miles witnessed the attack, and though he was in hiding for most of it he unfortunately saw his father's final moments, the vision and shock of which still torment him. With no other family, he was taken to Germany by Manfred von Karma, a wizard that had known his father through his international work with the Ministry. Miles continued the rest of his schooling in the mainland of Europe under his strict rules and guidance, which hardened his personality a bit. He had not heard of any news of the wizard who killed his father being caught and brought to justice, which disenchanted his interest in the Aurors and, more notably, the Wizengamot.

After he finished his education, he decided to return to Great Britain and seek work in the Ministry of Magic despite his dislike for a few of the departments. His initial hiring was in lower office work, as most of the wizards there did not know him and he only had his education record from Germany, however an additional endorsement from von Karma, who still commonly worked as an international representative, helped him gain a position. His talents were quickly evident, however, and he quickly rose through the ranks in different departments, making connections with various wizards in them. Eventually found himself in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Though he was initially leery of this placement, as it put him too close to the Wizengamot for comfort, he found himself working in the Improper Use of Magic Office, where his near-obsession with making sure people in violation of the laws were punished in some way helped raise him to one of the higher positions in the office.

What do they do at the Ministry?: He works in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement as one of the higher ups in the Improper Use of Magic Office.

Sample Interaction Post in First Person: ...Greetings, students. I am Miles Edgeworth of the Improper Use of Magic Office, and I will be watching over things for a while. I request that you merely answer anything I may inquire of you.

Hmph, Hogwarts. I admit, I do not have many memories of this place. In the grand schema, however, such things are not important.

I am not completely pleased with this assignment, but it has been given to me and, as such, I will carry it out. If I can assist in terminating the actions of criminals, then this will not be a waste of my abilities. This may also help us to better understand these children for the circumstances in which we normally have to deal with them.
