Bartemius Crouch Senior sat stooped over his desk, rubbing his forehead, puzzling over the information. He laid his pipe back on his desk and blew one last, fleeting puff of smoke. What were these attacks? How would one make sense of them? Alastor Moody had captured one of the trouble makers. He was a mask wearing man called Phineas Rox, who claimed to serve a Dark Lord but would say no more. The largest threat to the magical community, Grindewald, was safe behind bars. Could he have escaped? That was his first inquiry and no - Grindewald was still safe behind bars. This was something else, an isolated incident he hoped. The evidence was starting to stack against that, though. He had already been in touch with the muggle Prime Minister about the events. Fourteen muggles killed in a smelter accident, except it was no accident. It was an attack by a powerful wizard, one who had wielded a powerful spell, to commit this crime. Certainly it was not this Rox, he was a cut throat brute for sure but relatively unskilled. Then there was the murder of the Auror Junius Chen. He had been found outside his home, he had been attacked on the way to work. He had left behind his wife and one child, an infant. This man Rox may be the culprit. He was as of now the chief suspect for the crime, Alastor agreed. He was a new Auror but smart. In truth many in the office were young, relatively inexperienced. The recent wars had taken their toll. This was neither here nor there, Crouch knew that he had assembled a fine team over the years. He would now call upon them to lead the investigation into this new string of bad events. He called a general meeting of all the Aurors in order to discuss thing, handing out assignments and detailing the work to be done. Th Aurors would work in teams to investigate the strange string of crimes and report back. (All players will be assigned to the same team)
