Mad-Eye Moody Tales

Chapter One: Igor Karkaroff

Alastor Moody was having a bad day. True, the dark lord Voldemort had finally been defeated and it meant that the wizarding world was safe once more, but it also meant that the defeated Death Eaters would be on the run, desperate to escape arrest. Alastor Moody was an Auror, and it was his job to catch them and bring them to justice.

'We've got another one for you, Alastor.' Rufus Scrimegour, the head of the Auror office told Moody, dropping a file on his desk. 'Igor Karkaroff, Ex- death eater we have discovered him hiding in a shack up north. Apprehend him if possible, kill if nessacary.'

'Yes sir.' Moody growled, looking at the file. It appeared as if it wouldn't be too much of a trouble, as Karkaroff seemed to be a relatively weak wizard and may just surrender without a fight.

'Tonks!' Moody called, as his seventeen year old prodigy Nymphadora Tonks raced around the corner and up to him.

'Yes Alastor?' She asked him.

'I need your help with something, set a tail upon Severus Snape will you? Even though Dumbledore trusts him I want him watched for the next few weeks.'

'Yes sir.' Tonks said as she sped off.

Moody left the Ministry and Disapparated five minutes later, he apparated outside an old shack in the remote Shetland Islands and opened the door. Inside was a man with a short beard and lively, guiltful eyes.

'Igor Karkaroff?' Moody asked.

'Yes, and who are you?' Karkaroff replied.

'Petrificus Totlalus!' Moody roared and Karkaroff toppled over on the floor. Moody hoisted him up and whispered to him

'I'm an Auror, and you're going to Azkaban my good man.'

Karkaroff's eyes darted around knowing what would await him there.

'The Dementors will love you. Moody sighed as he Disapparated to the prison with the death eater.

'Well done Alastor.' Rufus told him an hour later back at the ministry desk. 'now we need you to find this man. Evan Rosier.'
