"I don't know," he answered her about the cheese, knowing his answer wouldn't matter, Morag would figure it out for herself and complain or enjoy at her leisure. And no, he was not terribly interested in the witch being detained. If this were his case, yes, possibly, but because if all the things he'd cleaned up as an Obliviator, he wasn't easily troubled about the damage people did to each other. It happened. Clean it up and move on. Obviously very few things struck him personally about his job.
Roger understood about dealing with trainees. Necessary but generally a pain in the arse. Still, the Ministry couldn't give Morag some back up? Shoddy of them. "She can keep all her secrets for herself now. It doesn't matter. She has to know her fate. We have the wand and the pieces of the body. She'll be kissed. In her mind, we probably haven't earned the answers." Roger wasn't playing devil's advocate. Just musing.
Pushing Morag's blonde hair to the side, he moved his thumbs further up her neck to massage right at the base of her skull. He loved the way her hair felt, drifting over the backs of his hands but this was not the time or the place to get carried away. Think of the cheese, he told himself to ease his ardor.
"So it was rage or passion. Some strong emotion." Or she was justifiably insane. "Think for a moment..." Roger's hands stilled on her shoulders and moved to rub gently down her arms as he worked through his thoughts. "What if this has nothing to do with NPPCAV? What if it is personal and she is the mistress. But not of the husband?" He raised his brow and tried to keep an open mind about a witch's sexual preference. The witch in his arms included. "You never said why they divorced. And you didn't mention the wife's journal entries. So the husband, victim, whatever was still enamoured, but what of the ex-wife? A purist would kill a pureblood if he was of no use to her. A threat is still a threat, Morag, and if this woman in the room felt like her lover was being threatened, I can understand why she killed him." I would do the same for you.
