When Gawain finally left work, he rubbed a hand over his face. It was late - but not as late as manyof the nights. The work seemed to be stacking up on his desk at an alarming rate, and a majority of it was bogus. Half of it was supposed 'crimes' Muggleborns had committed, and the other half were real crimes that he may or may not be allowed to pursue. Yaxley was requiring a written summary of each investigation on a weekly basis, and more than a half dozen he'd been pursuing had been dropped, supposedly on orders of the Minister. They were all murders of Muggleborns, and Gawain had yet to receive an answer about why they were being thrown out, though he knew.
It was the same reason that no one was allowed to investigate where Rufus Scrimgeour had "moved" to. Not even the man's cousin, Brutus, was allowed more than the official story. It made Gawain's hands curl into fists, hating the fact that his former mentor and friend had been murdered and no one seemed to know or care.
And that was why he'd been spending more and more time at the pubs lately.
He looked around, seeing familiar faces of the regulars in the Leaky. He got himself a pint and retired to a quiet corner.
