Scarlett was furious.
She’d never been so insulted in her life as by the female Auror who had come to question her earlier in the morning. She hadn’t liked her attitude and had found her absolutely insufferable, rude and insensitive. Not that the loss of memory thing would bother her so much normally but she was having a particularly wretched day and realising that she couldn’t be a useful alibi to Miles had only made her feel worse, especially when she’d put two and two together and come up with murder.
So, she decided to send an owl to Cass. After all, he was an Auror and she was sure he could help Miles. It wouldn’t do for him to be arrested and charged for something just because she couldn’t remember; she was sure that he – probably – hadn’t lied about something like that. No, he wouldn’t. He had Liam to consider now and she couldn’t imagine him putting his son in danger no matter how much he pretended he wasn’t keen on children.
Besides, why would he kill Madame Rosm-what’s her name?
No, it made no sense whatsoever.
Picking up a quill, she wrote a quick missive to Cass before settling down to read a book, hoping he could do something about the problem before Miles got sentenced to a life in Azkaban.
After all, that really would be rather dreadful.
Dear Cass,
I had a visit from a most dreadful woman earlier. Bones, I think her name was, and she had all the charm of a skeleton whilst I’m describing her. She decided to question me on Miles’s whereabouts on Friday which was just so insensitive considering my current predicament! As if I can remember anything of any importance. My memory went this morning and apart from remembering that I quarrelled with him briefly before he left for work, I can’t recall a single thing of any use.
Anyway, apart from the name of the person currently running the Aurors as I want to make a complaint about her, I need to ask a favour of you. She came to question me about Miles but I don’t know where I was on Friday, nor if he was with me. Can you put him under truth serum or something? I’m sure he wouldn’t lie about being with me. I do have a new necklace- Well, I think it’s new. I really don’t know Does that help?
