Dear Mr. Macfusty,
There was a discrepancy noted in the statement you provided regarding yesterday's train incident. Primarily in regards to the timing. Can you please clarify the events as well as you can remember? The office needs all details surrounding the event to further investigate.

We thank you for your prompt reply. Please note, failure to respond by midday tomorrow will result in consequences.

Auror Abernathy,

It seems necessarily harsh to threaten punishment to an unwitting civilian for not providing an account of events that the auror department deems suitable, don't you agree? I'm not sure why they would ask you to send the letter, either, as it also seems unnecessarily harsh to ask the auror who was present to ask a witness to corroborate her story.

Tell me they haven't given you too much trouble. I will recount the day if it helps.

    1. I smelled amortentia, and I began my own investigation in hopes of stopping a witch or wizard from exposing us to the muggles on board.

    2. I noticed Auror Abernathy with her wand raised through one of the glass windows, casting what I believed to be muggle-repelling shields to assist the investigation. I interrupted her, believing her the culprit, as at the time I was unaware she was an auror.

    3. The train lurched, and I once again interrupted her, as I was concerned about our safety on the train.

    4. She left to pursue the criminal, and I followed her. They engaged in a duel, and I, hoping to prove useful, disarmed the wizard with expelliarmus.

    The woman, though drugged with amortentia, was not noticeably injured. The wizard, however, had been stunned and appeared unconscious after the duel. Auror Abernathy was injured, and I used simple healing spells to assist her.

Helpful?

Dear Mr. Macfusty,
Thank you for your helpful recount. While harsh, it is simply procedure as you would be surprised how many witnesses disappear into the night. Threatening them.(as you so bluntly described) is often the only way to ensure a response.

I can assure you my being the one to write you was simply luck of the draw. And no, there's been no trouble*.

Thank you again for your assistance both yesterday and today.
Auror F. Abernathy


*lies. She's in so much trouble.
