The Aurors: Threads

Following up on the La Delice case: There's nothing in records that can give us a connection to anyone but Regina Cagle for any of the La Delice employees. I talked to my contacts in NYPD and nothing there either.

I'm convinced this has to do with her sister but there's no hard proof. Best guess is that Regina was obliviated because she genuinely didn't have any clue.

Dead end on the coffee supplies; it was our usual guy. The one who looks like he had the perpetual cheering charm put on him. He's been on this run for almost seven years now and covers the whole building. Security camera footage shows nothing, so we've got a dead end there.

No apparent connections to Cagle or La Delice or any of the La Delice suppliers.

So somebody knows how to use him to get illicit substances in and out of the building without us seeing it. This is not good. Anybody else got any ideas on how we catch whoever's responsible? The floor is open.

Did anyone notice anything strange yesterday about yourselves? Extra pep in your step? Any other strange behaviour?

[ Private to Alicia ]

I just wanted to say I'm sorry for my behaviour yesterday. I can assure you I'm much more professional than that. I have strange feeling there was some kind of prank going on yesterday.

If you've been in the vicinity of the morgue and my desk this weekend, please check any files you might have been removing to make sure you haven't carried off anything extra. I'm missing a frame from my desk. Nothing fancy, but it's an old picture of my family, so I would appreciate getting it back. Unless someone else has a sentimental attachment to my brother giving me bunny ears and my dad looking like he's possessed? (He isn't, by the way.)

Also, can someone explain to me the little stone creature that has been guarding the table in the breakroom? It's adorable, but also a bit creepy.

Good afternoon, Aurors. I'm writing this note to introduce myself. My name is Adrian Pucey and I'm a healer working out of Tuppaarnaq Healing Hospital here in New York. I've been seconded to assist with your group in the aftermath of one of your reacent cases.

My qualifications are the full course of training at St Mungo's from 1996 to 1999 and an advanced specialist training programme on mindhealing in Vienna in 2000. I worked on the Spell Damage floor including a stint on the Janus Thickey Ward, which is our long-term ward for patients with permanent damage that renders them incapable of living on their own. My personal specialty is working with victims of Unforgivables and other serious Dark Curses as they affect the physical and mental health of survivors in the long term. I'm a trained legilmens and occlumens and use those skills in my work with patient permission. I've also worked with victims of wartime obliviations and I'm involved in a long-term project with Augustus Pye, also of St Mungo's, regarding lycanthropy. Last, but not least, I have done significant work with the British Auror Office both as a Healer and as a specialist witness, so I am familiar with British Auror procedures and confidentiality requirements, though I expect yours will be slightly different.

Director Duvall has referred members of your team to me following events in Salem, but any of you who need to talk to someone privately about those events or other mental health related concerns are welcome to contact me for an appointment. Also, while most of my practice centres on healing Dark magic, I am qualified to handle your basic healer needs, just in case some of you are one-stop-shoppers. I'll be in your office on Monday for those who prefer to make arrangements in person.

I look forward to working with you and wish you all a healthy and happy holiday season.

For anyone I have not yet met in person, I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself.

My name is Alicia Spinnet and I am a hit wizard (yes, hit wizard) on loan from the British DMLE to consult on a few cases.

And to answer common questions:
1. Yes, I know Harry Potter.
2. No, I will not get you an autograph
3. Yes, I took part in the youth movement during the Second Wizarding War
4. No, I do not have any war stories I would like to share
5. Yes. American accents are strange

Not going to lie, I do have a collection of Christmas ties for the season but I've never had a Chanukah one. Good for ugly Holiday parties. Not that I'd say it's ugly, but it's now added to the holiday collection. And in case you haven't heard: though Ben and I are getting married, I'm not going to be Jewish.

[ BEN ]

Told Nonna. She's very happy, and wants us to come over for supper soon, and she'll make you whatever you want.

So, I don't know who got me the skates, but thank you. It's been ages since I've gone skating and now I guess I don't have an excuse not to go. It would be tradition to go skating at Rockefeller rink when I'd come home from Ilvermorny for Christmas.
