Argus nodded. He knew they would though the idea of taking a deal to go to the Asylum in Knockturn Alley instead of Azkaban was somewhat appealing though not much could be said for the appeal-factor between a place like hell and literal hell.

He'd heard stories and had visited the Asylum once or twice before and it was never a pleasant experience though the former auror knew that however it was, it was much better than Azkaban. Aside from Dementors, he'd helped put a lot of people inside Azkaban and he didn't want to face their wrath. Not without his wand (which would inevitably be taken during his tenure).

"Is there a way to avoid having them stand in front of the Wizengamot? My children and wife do not need that stress. But if they have to, then I understand. And I.. I'm happy to accept a deal to go to the Asylum if that's what is necessary."

Argus paused for a moment; perhaps that was a viable option. It was no secret that since his own torture, he had been a different person and perhaps, Argus was loathe to admit, he was unhinged due to his past.

"I'm happy to do whatever is necessary and to pay as much as you ask, if you are willing to help with this."
