@open Quite recently, just after he finally accepted the DADA position, he had been sent a note about a certain boy, Regulus Black, who apparently was suspected as a Death Eater. Seeing as Ashley Daines was once an Auror, he found it his duty to prove to the world whether he was a Death Eater or wasn’t a Death Eater. The mark had been proven not enough evidence, so there was no reason to even check really. People were known to be controlled and forced the mark onto them, which was awfully smart for Voldemort to do, in Ash’s opinion. It would help protect the loyal ones with the mark, but also create a panic of a sort in the minds of everyone around them. Who could be a death eater? They might not even have a mark – but those with the mark might not even be a Death Eater! Regardless, Ashley knew the ministry couldn’t act on it – the Blacks were a prestigious family. Hell, the fact he accepted it was only bolstered by this new fact – he could watch little Regulus while he was in school. It wasn’t like Mr. Daines was worried about the curse – if he died, okay, not a huge deal. If he was somehow injured beyond repair, well that would suck, but at least he would be alive to find his wife’s killer. He suspected it was a Death Eater, but given he knew nothing about the story his wife had been working on, he didn’t know for sure – it could’ve been some random person who didn’t even mean to murder her (though his information said it wasn’t accidental, but that wasn’t a flawless assumption). More to the point, Ashley Daines had travelled to France. While Regulus Black’s information was held by the ministry and largely unavailable to him, he hoped he could gain better insight into a certain relative of his – who was considered a very big suspect for Death Eater-y. Bellatrix Lestrange. She had married into a very well known French family, and that was why he was here today. To check the archives of the French Ministry, who he had already contacted and been granted access to the records (seems the French were worried about Voldemort even if they didn’t plan to interfere too much). It also helped that the family had fallen out of favor ever since the death of Leta Lestrange, the last pureblood line of the Lestranges. Rodolphus and Rabastan – technically purebloods, but the line was tainted somewhere along the way. After strolling into the French Ministry, and giving his name, and reason for visiting, he made his way into the place. Boy, he liked it here a lot more. Cleaner. Whiter. One could see if it was dirty so much easier than the British Ministry. |
