Good day. Gentlemen " Stripetail said as the Aurors approached " Lord Stripetail at your services . What can I do for you?" He said calmly " I am not surprised that you have been watching me, after all, your job is to make sure that magic kind is protected from external threats.Or internal, as the case may be . I do need to speak to you about Auror Firch, if either of you are him, then we will have a few things to discuss, such as Obliviating my employees. If neither of you are him, then kindly tell me where I can find him so I can straighten him out over this.. misunderstanding. " Stripetail said "
"With respect, My Lord. We don't permit magic use in front of Muggles" the second Auror said." You are not from here clearly, but we ask you not to do that again in the future " Even though she works for me?" Stripetail started " Yes, milord. It is also not permitted to reverse a Oblivation. It is for security reasons, sir. We don't want Muggles learning about us." With all due respect gentlemen, my magical world works differently from yours. Magic is not something that you hide." The Auror shook his head."
"We cannot speak for your world sir, but while you are here among us,we expect you to follow our rules. No more public displays of magic my Lord. You are clearly a extremely powerful wizard , as it is not easy, at all, to reverse a Obliviation. And we are simply doing our jobs, and giving you fair warning, about your actions."
Stripetail sighed " what about Auror Firch?" Neither of us are him. And we cannot tell you where he is, for security reasons. You must understand." " He Obliviated someone who posed no threat and who was utterly unaware of the rules. Furthermore she works for me and I can't let someone mind wipe my employees. I will not stand for it."
" She saw something that she shouldn't have, which posed a risk to magic security. We have to ensure that Magic kind and Muggles remain separate for the security of both."
"The fact that someone or some persons bombed your local office is a far greater security threat, sir, than a nonmagical woman seeing a few seconds of magic. Magic, moreover that she is used to seeing under my employment " That may be true, but we have to treat all threats seriously. Auror Firch did what he had to do ." He could have avoided all this , by simply talking with me. Surely wiping another's mind requires a serious transgression. Captain Carson did nothing warranting that ." Then make sure she avoids finding herself in a similar situation in the future."
"May I at least inquire about meeting with the Minister? " The Minister of Magic has a lot of demands on his time, sir, even more so now, in light of the current situation." I understand that he is busy, as a leader myself I know only too well the time demands of the position. I only request a brief audience of 15 minutes at most."
"We will ... pass along your request. We make no guarantees that it will be granted. You must understand " Yes I understand. If you run into any more of my other employees, don't Obliviate them. Give them the same ' fair warning 'that you have given me. They may be.. unaware of how things work here."
"Then you need to get them informed. As they are your employees you are responsible for their conduct. Get them together, whether it is those dog like creatures or those beings that look like dragons, or the Muggles, or anyone else, and make sure they conform to our rules." The Auror said." Such as the curfew?" Yes, anyone who is out on the street after 8, who is not authorized, or who is not headed home or inside, is subject to arrest or fines. " I will inform them. Is there a rule book that I can use for their instructions?"
"You can find a magic rule book at the courthouse, it's mostly updated, although it does not cover the current situation. We have posted decrees covering certain issues, copy them down and make sure that they know what we expect. Please note my lord that if you do magic in public again in front of a Muggle , we will arrest you and send you to Azkaban."
Stripetail's face tightened." Is that a threat, sir?" he said tersely." No, my lord. In truth we have already given you a good deal of leeway by simply warning you. Reversing a Obliviation is a term in Azkaban , minimum 5 years. Performing magic in front of a Muggle is a year in Azkaban or a fine of 100000." Azkaban is a magical prison?" Where we send our worst, sir." You don't have a medium security prison , low security prison or local jails?" No, just Azkaban . We have special wings for the most dangerous." Surely you have had escape attempts given the caliber of the prisoners ?" We employ Dementors around the prison, which are authorized to Kiss any escapees." What does that do?" It removes their soul, sir" So , kill them, essentially ." More or less." The Auror said firmly
