Private message to Barty Crouch and Mafalda Hopkirk

Right. So, that bloke from Adur who's been so thoroughly helpful, the one I was supposed to arrest later tonight once we were certain he'd turned up all the records from the creative places they'd been stashed? Corax Mulciber turned up tonight with his aide, cruciated him repeatedly, and put a curse designed to ensure he won't ever be fathering any children.

I think he might have found out that instead of pocketing money, Bawsley had a taste for muggle girls.

Anyway, I took Bawsley to St Mungo's to get him stabilised and I'm going to bring him in to MLE once they're done with him, assuming he survives.

I'm going to guess that Cadmus Mulciber passed the word to Corax about the impending arrest -- the last thing I was expecting to see, while working on a Saturday night, was Corax and his aide.

What the-

Assuming he survives?

What were you doing while Mulciber made mince of your mark?

Sending Penderyn to St M's. See they give him time to legilimise Bawsley.

[alt_rachel]

I'll be sure of it, sir.

[alt_crouch_jr]

Good.


Nothing to gain by having it out with Mulciber. Either of them. And not yours to do when it comes to it. Assume you realise that.

[alt_rachel]

I do, sir.

[alt_crouch_jr]

Good.

Penderyn spent some time with him last night; I assume he gave you his report.

Bawsley was transferred to MLE custody at around 4 in the morning; I saw him put into a cell.

I'm back sifting records now. Montague made a little progress last night, along with Corax Mulciber's aide, who got left behind to assist by way of apology for inconveniencing us. Of the 526 unaccounted for in the census, there are 187 that I think we can presume dead. (They were under the age of 10 and no other family members went missing, they were over the age of 70 and again, no other family members went missing; they were the mother of a small child, and the small child didn't go missing; etc.)

Record-keeping went completely to hell at Adur during the tail end of Black's epidemic -- that was probably true at a lot of camps, but here, they just decided to quit worrying about it. I've also identified 36 that I think are likely candidates for having escaped, because I found references to them in records kept after the epidemic had finished, and it includes groups that might have all slipped out together. (Families, couples, and the like.)

Montague was apparently at it all night; I've sent him home for some sleep. Weasley, too. (Corax Mulciber's aide.)
