“Find anything?” Katie asked looking up from a stack of what looked like they had been plastic flowers. She didn’t get an answer. “Montgomery!” She called out and finally saw his head pop up, Katie had to do everything in her power not to laugh at the bright pink shade his hands were turning. “Shut it,” he grumbled. “I’m going to go get this off.” “Grab Montague and Spinnet. We could use some help in here!” Katie chuckled as she went back to searching through things. She waited a while until she heard footsteps coming towards the evidence. “About time!” She called up not looking up to see if she got Montague, Spinnet or both. “You rang?” Graham offered as he stepped into the room with all the burnt evidence laid out for discovery. “Hey!” She said looking up at him. “Yeah, think you could help? We’re looking for anything that might look like hate mail.” Waving to one said she said, “those are weird figurines, that's rubbish, this tiny pile has some hints to hate mail." She said to the one sitting in front of her. Moseying over to the stacks he put on evidence friendly gloves and asked, “What sort of hate mail? Written in blood sort? Or the kind with the little letter cut out of magazines?” "All of the above, anything that could be considered as hate, he mentioned he got a wide range of different styles" she answered as she picked up a terrifying looking loch ness monster cut out. Graham scrunched his nose at the sample, “How many have you found so far?” "Letters or these terrifying little things?" She asked holding up the cut out. "We've gotten about 6 partial letters so far, a few that could be tied to it but are burnt pretty badly." “Alright,” The man offered as he began sifting through the piles and a moment of busy silence fell over them. As he found cut pieces of letters he separated them amongst Katie’s pile. “D’you get that wand report yet? They were supposed to send it over this afternoon.” Katie was busy studying what looked like a book about sexual plants and was startled to hear another voice. “What?” She asked her voice awkward before his words sunk in. “No, I haven’t, I’ve been down here, have you seen it?” “Not yet,” Graham shook his head. “But I was talking to a few others about it and apparently there’s been a rise in illegal wands. Dust like ours was found at a robbery in Hogsmeade a few weeks ago. And similar stuff was found in that assault case in Haverfordwest last month. Those two had the same magical signature -- I’d bet ours was the same too.” “Kates,” Alicia came and joined the two, “this has just come across our desks- think they got it muddled up” She handed over the wand report, “Not going to tell you your favourite words Montague.” Looking up at Alicia she grinned taking the report and looking down at quickly. She made a mental note to go check the other reports and compare it, but from what Montague was saying it the wands seemed to have the same properties. “Great,” she muttered. “Illegal wands, just what we all need.” With that they all got stuck into it. |
