The Search for Viktor Ulf Severe

[M D]

Edward Hadrian had been making regular trips to York during the holidays and the beginning of the Hogwarts term. This was not simply for pleasure but for a deadly serious mission to try and hunt one of the more dangerous wizards on the run in Britain, a mission to remove someone who could pose a threat to students and muggles alike. The week after Hogwarts began, the Headmaster returned to York, coming in through the floo network to a friend's home on the outskirts of York where Hadrian had believed Severe to be. Edward set out early in the evening, his wand in an inner pocket, and in there also was the sneakoscope. He had planned carefully, as he knew he would not get many chances.. His first stop where the local pub where some recent victims had been drinking, opening the door into the loud and roudy public house, he approached the bar and took a seat, ordering a Muggle beer.

[Raglan]

7/10 difficulty.

The barman sticks a pint of Kronenburg in front of him, while watching an interesting game of darts off to one side.

That'll be £3.85 then please.

[M D]

Hadrian put his hand in his pocket, pulling out some galleons before realising and delving deep inside his charmed pockets for some muggle money. He hands the money over and takes a taste of the beer, revolting, but appearances must be made. Looking at the man serving him, he spoke,

"You sure I'm safe drinking here? Heard some of your locals got jumped the other night by some hoodlums.."

[Raglan]

ooc; damn major, not even going to complain over the price of that pint? lol

ic; Yeah, sure. Plenty of people around. You get trouble everywhere these days. Dunno what the worlds coming to eh?

[M D]

OOC: He's a wizard, makes no sense, its outrageous though

Hadrian nodded,

"Did you hear what those chaps looked like, the ones who got your lads?"

[Raglan]

Your average chav. Baggy tracksuits, and caps.

[M D]

Hadrian knew he wouldn't get much further with this,

"Do you know where they hang out?"

Quietly he removed an enchanted piece of card from his pocket, what Edward said would be what the landlord believed

"Detective Sergeant Nicholas Angel."

[Raglan]

Well why didn't you say you were a bobby?

Its Charlie you want to speak to. He lives at the end of the street.

[M D]

Hadrian placed a muggle fiver on the bar, and left the unfinished drink, leaving the bar he did up his coat and tightened his scar and with one hand in a coat pocket where his wand lay.. Walking down the dark street his footsteps were alone and finally reaching the final house on the road knocked once, he once again removed his piece of paper in case it would be required.

[Lucius Malfoy]

OOC: Raglan is allowing me to take over since Viktor is my alt.

A few thuds were heard, followed by a grunt as Bobby woke up from his nap suddenly. He slowly walked over to the door, answering it. He was a Muggle of his forties and appeared to have just gotten off work...his name tag showed he worked at a local pharmacy. He yawns slightly, looking at Hadrian who was present. He looked at him.

Can I help you, s-s-s-sir?

He stifles another yawn, but barely

[M D]

"I am looking for Charlie."

[Lucius Malfoy]

Charlie looks at the man and his eyebrow goes up slightly.

I am Charlie. Who's asking?

[M D]

"Would you happen to know anything about the attacks recently?"

Hadrian stepped forward, tactically placing a foot between the door and the frame,

"Detective Sergeant Nicholas Angel."

[Lucius Malfoy]

"Would you happen to know anything about the attacks recently?"

Hadrian stepped forward, tactically placing a foot between the door and the frame,

"Detective Sergeant Nicholas Angel."

Charlie looks at Nicholas with an irritated look before sighing.

Come inside then...

The muggle walks into his living room and sits down in a chair before looking at Charlie.

I know very little of the attacks, but the most recent happened when I was making a run for the store.

[Raglan]

ooc; just a note, while i'm happy for lucius to do this, i'll still be keeping an eye on it, doing rolls and so forth. Your not going to find it too easy major its a hard bounty quest after all.

[M D]

Hadrian closed the door and kept one hand in his pocket, on his wand, just in case.. As he entered the dimly lit house he looked in every corner just in case, he preferred to stand than sit and spoke,

"Could you tell me what happened? And don't feel that your answer could sound wrong."

[Lucius Malfoy]

Charlie goes silent before sighing.

Well, I was going to the local market on the corner...needed to get my due coffee for tomorrow morning for work when I came to the area of St Helen’s Square. That's when it all happened...

Charlie leans forward.

A bus, carrying school children, rounded the corner and before my very eyes, a flash was seen...I believe it was colored red...and, after the flash faded, the entire bus was zooming down the street on fire. It crashed into one of the nearby stores. I had...never seen something so frightening in my life. Nor felt so afraid either.

[M D]

"Do you remember seeing who did it?"

[Lucius Malfoy]

He shakes his head.

No not really. The light was some what blinding at first till I saw the form of the flaming bus zoom by me.

Charlie ponders some more.

Wait...I heard rumors that there was a small tea house nearby where the customers and waiters don't even remember seeing the light. They keep saying that someone stood up...and next thing they knew, they saw the crashed bus.

[M D]

Hadrian stood up and shook Charlie's hand,

"Thank you very much, sir you have been a great help."

Having left the house, Edward slowly began to walk into the centre of town, his hand still in his pocket firmly on his wand, as he wandered the street he thought that this was a such a nice place in York, it shouldn't have had to deal with such crimes against humanity. As he thought of this, he saw in the early evening light remaining that the tea house was open and mostly empty. Walking through the door, the bell sounded and a woman appeared behind one of the counters. Once again Hadrian lifted his enchanted badge and spoke very quietly, the hand still in his pocket,

"Detective Sergeant Nicholas Angel.. Were you working here the day of the bus crash?"
