A bit of both? Well, if I’m being honest… I didn’t drink all that much. 

Wow, she knows her latin. Fair enough, Miss Turpin. I can work with that. I must warn you, though, I have way more suspicions than evidence for now. Which is why I haven’t been able to do much. Like I said, I didn’t drink all that much… 

I may take on that invitation then. Would I find you at the same old place? It feels like ages since I last visit there.

I know quite few things, Mr. Robards. Contrary of you might think, I’m not an amateur. I may not have a law enforcement training but I know my way with words, enigmas and some mystery. 

[islaturpin]

aurorgawain​:

Yeah, my mum is Scottish. I grew up in Hogsmeade so… if you ever wanna try more “Scottish delicatessen”, hit me up. We’re not just kilts and bagpipes.

You should share information with me. No one wants these wankers on Azkaban more than I do, trust me. I almost lost two family members already… You’re right, though this is not the time nor the place… So… maybe you can share your findings with me some place else? You know where to find me.

Is this any sort of invitation or is just the liquor talking?

So should I trust you just like that? Maybe a quid pro quo? I give you something and you give me another something in return. I can work on that term. Is this the liquor talking again? 

[islaturpin]

aurorgawain​:

Well, it kinda looked that way. But let’s try this again, shall we? Have you tried the canapés? They’re delicious…

Sure, here we go again… That’s why you should’ve brought your suspicions to the authorities. You’re right, you can’t trust just about anyone, but there are a few names who could’ve helped. Look, I know what it’s like, okay? Way too many people I care got hurt by these so called death eaters… I hate them just as much as you do, probably more. Still, we have to be smart about it.

Indeed, the food is exquisite. It is nice to discover some interesting Scottish delicatessen.

Exactly, how can I know who t trust? I’m not trusting good information on the hand of anyone, Mr. Robards, it would be stupid and reckless. I only trust myself right now and a few friends. Everybody who is smart enough can see the the Minister is lost or they don’t want to go after certain groups. I don’t even know why we are having this conversation here...

[islaturpin]

aurorgawain​:

I take offense to that, actually. I was there. I was the one who blocked access to the floo network. I was just trying to catch the perpetrator.

Look, I’m not saying that institutions are always right, I have my reservations as well. But you should not act alone either, chances are someone you care about is gonna end up hurt. These are strange times we’re livin’ in. The less casualties, the better. And we can’t avoid casualties if civilians keep playing superheroes. 

i’m sorry I’m not trying to attack you specifically, but let’s be honest, the way the Minister is dealing with all of this is questionable, don’t you agree?

When someone I care already got hurt I don’t have the luxury to just sit and wait. i’m not playing superhero, I’m just doing what I know I can do well. It was me who was finding the hiding messages at the Prophet, right?

[islaturpin]

aurorgawain​:

I didn’t mean that. But it’s getting dangerous out there. You have no idea. You don’t wanna a target on your back, trust me. Better let trained personnel deal with it.

Damn, woman, what’s with the sharp tongue? I was only doing my job.

Like we let trained people do deal with the attacks on the Diagon Alley? I’m not saying that your people are not working hard enough, I’m just saying that I have my doubts when it comes to blindly trust in some Institutions. Can you tell me frankly that I am wrong?

You started this conversation, Mr. auror, not me. I was doing my job too.

[islaturpin]

aurorgawain​:

Shit. Ok, I didn’t ruin any investigation, I made it into a proper one. An official one at that. So you should be thanking me, really.

Anyway, I don’t have time for this. I have a running niece to find. You sure you haven’t seen her? She’s about that tall?

Proper one? Because only the oficial ways are valid, right? Like I should put my faith and trust on Institutions that failed us again and again, Sure. Thank you very much, for showing how unprepared the officials are. 

Finding things is not like your job? Go ahead then. You should have out a track on her, make it more oficial.

aurorgawain​:

@islaturpin​

Excuse me, have you seen a blonde girl in a green dress? She looks kinda like me but prettier.

Hey… Don’t wanna be rude but you look familiar. Have we met before? 

Sorry, I di... no, I haven’t. 

Ow, funny, you ruined my side investigation but playing the ‘I don’t know you card’ is a bit too much, don’t you think? Anyway, cheers and good luck with your girl.
