Harry Potter had seen a lot of terrible things in his days. He had lived through a war, he had destroyed horcruxes, had killed a Dark Lord, and had tracked down practically every top death eater single handedly as an official Aurora. Still, he had never seen a scene quite so gruesome and bloody, and gory, to actually turn his stomach, till he got called in to work a murder case. The body was found in a warehouse, and it was so mangled and destroyed that they had to run several blood spells to discover the identity of the victim. Harry was just going through the place one more time, looked for any clue as to who had done the deed, when his partner Ron, came in and said, "We've been called to Shacklebolt's office, we got a hit on who the vic is and apparently he's the American equivalent of an Aurora."
Harry whistled as he slowly made his way through the mess of internal organs, careful not to disrupt the crime scene. Together Ron and Harry made their way out of the crime scene to the designated fireplace the other auroras had set up, and they flooed over to the ministry. The ministry was busier than normal and as they headed past the security booth, one of the guards called out, "Potter, Weasley, careful working with those American dogs, I hear they'll rip out your liver and feed it to their hogs!"
They both laughed and Ron shouted some sort of reply, but Harry was to far ahead to catch more than a few poor choice of words. When they made it up the Shacklebolt's office, they were surprised to find that the Minister was not alone, Mad-Eye Moody and his newbie partner were standing on either side of the minister glaring daggers at the man and woman sitting across from him.
Before they could get a good look at the strangers Shacklebot said, "Harry, Ron, glad you're here. As you probably know, the victim of the murder case you are current working was a member of MFBI, the American equivalent of the Aurora program. When we contacted the MFBI, they informed us that due to the recent treaties between out magical governments, they have the right to complete access to the case, in fact they have the right to completely remove you from the case but have instead agreed to allow us to continue the investigation as long as they get daily updates and as long as one of their agents can help with the investigation."
Ron looked like he was bighting back an angry remark, he had gotten a lot better at keeping his mouth shut and his opinions to himself but it was hard for him when something like this happened that made him angry. Shacklebot gave a small nod, and his lips turned up ever so slightly, he obviously was impressed that Ron had held his temper. Shacklebot stood up and gestured to the man in front of him, "This is the head of the MFBI, Agent Jeffrey Morgan, he's here to talk with us about the case the victim, Special Agent Allen McDermott was on when he was kidnapped."
Harry frowned and asked, "I'm sorry but what does it matter what cases he was working on?"
The man turned and looked over Harry, like he was calculating exactly how old he was, how big he was, and how much muscle he had. Harry took a moment to look the man over, he was a fairly large man, with abnormally wide shoulders. He wore a muggle suit that made him look smaller but Harry could tell that underneath the material he was all muscle. He was bald, and Harry wondered if it was natural or if he shaved his head. The Man gave a small smile, drawing attention to the small white scar McDermott and his partner where working on tracking down a serial murder, a really sick bastard who got off on mutilating his victims while they were still alive. My agents were close to discovering the identity of the criminal when they got attacked, their attacker managed to knock out McDermott and his partner, my top two agents, in a matter of seconds. Our investigations shows that the killer knocked out his victims with a gas that is a mixture of a muggle drug and a magical potion, the other agent was sent to the hospital and tests show that it was this same mix of drugs that knocked him out."
Harry and Ron glanced at each other, and with a nod from Ron, they both came farther into the office, Harry held out his hand and said, "I'm Harry Potter, what can you tell me about the other cases?"
Morgan smiled and said, "I'm afraid I only have a rough grasp on all the information, my agents only give me a basic outline in their reports till they solve the cases, that's why I'm requesting you two come with me and my secretary back to our facility in America, you can talk to McDermott's partner, he's still in the infirmary and Nurse Gene wants to keep him under observation for one more day, but once he's released he'll be on the case with you two."
Harry looked to Shacklebot who nodded, and said, "Alright."
