*complete, gawain robards, graylin savage, september 1997

RP: Investigation
Date: 19 September 1997
Characters: Gawain Robards, Graylin Savage
Location: Muggle England
Status: semi-private
Summary: Gawain and Gray finally go looking for the Grangers.
Completion: Complete

Gawain gave himself another look over, just to make sure he didn't look like a complete and total idiot. Everything seemed to be in place, though, so he looked over at Savage.

They weren't able to put off going out to search for Potter any longer, and they were beginning with trying to track down Hermione Granger. He'd apprised the Minister and Yaxley of their intentions via memo - hopefully they wouldn't actually read it until after they'd gone. The last thing they needed was to be ordered to take Bellatrix Lestrange along with them to Muggle England. That'd be the worst idea in the history of ideas, he was fairly certain.

"Ready, Savage?" he asked, raising both brows.

Gray bit her lip as Robards pointed out the taxi driver and she hoped she hadn’t said anything too odd in his presence.

“Yes, sir. Hopefully someone at the office will have a better idea of what’s going on.”

Unfortunately, when they arrived at the office there was even less to go on other than they were out of the country. Soon they were back in the taxi more confused than when they had started.

“I guess the neighbor was right sir, they really just up and go. Maybe they took their daughter with them?”

"It's possible, very possible," he said, though for himself, he really believed that Granger and Potter were out there together somewhere.

They were quiet as the taxi grew closer to the shop, and as Gawain paid the man and got out, he looked over at Savage.

"So, what did we learn today, Savage?" he asked, testing her. No matter how long they'd been aurors, he still tested his men when he was personally involved in a case. Besides, he thought she was about ready for a recruit of her own to mentor, and this would be a good test of whether his feeling on that was correct.

Thinking it over Gray looked over at Robards with a wry smile. “Today we learned that either there are those out there who know more about what is going on than we do or Harry Potter is being protected by a lot of people.” She wasn’t sure that was the answer he wanted to hear but that was her impression of the situation.

“That and we should never assume especially when it comes to muggles.”

Gawain held the door for her, stepping back just as a flash of light sizzled past them both to hit the tree outside.

His hand was on his wand before he really registered what had happened, and he was in a crouch. Looking over at Savage, he was glad to see her in the same position.

A quick glance told him that the street was mostly deserted, so the flash of light hadn't garnered much attention.

A shout - of pain - filtered out into the street, and after meeting Savage's eyes, he nodded. They were going in.

	As she got out of the taxi a flash of light went past her. Immediately her instincts fell into place and she rolled into a crouching defensive position wand out. When she looked up Robards was in the same position. At his indication she followed him in ready to take up the fight. What a day this is turning into (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The screaming was coming from the back room. Gawain cast a charm on the door to keep it locked and shut - the last thing they needed was civilians bumbling into the mess.

As they approached, he could make out snatches of a conversation underneath the pain-filled cries.

"... proof ... helping Mudbloods ... last seen here ... deny?"

The screaming increased, and Gawain bit back a growl. He should send Savage for backup, but just now, he wasn't sure how much he could trust the Ministry. He gave her a nod and raised his wand in preparation for moving into the room.

He mouthed the words One, Two, and on Three, they both moved.

	It was chaos, there were screams coming from the back room. From the little she could hear it was obvious that this was a Death Eater attack. Keeping her eyes on Robards she waited for him to give the order to attack, hopefully they wouldn't be too late. When Robards gave the sign she went for it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
