DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Harry Potter universe or fandom in any way. Go talk to JK. Rowling.

A/N: This is a big project. Incidentally, it's also one I've been planning for about a year and only just got around to writing. So... This is most definitely going to be ongoing. However, I am determined to complete it so stick around and you might eventually get (shock, horror) an entire story! Beta'd by the absolutely wonderful FartyArtyPartyPooper on FFN.

'HUFFLEPUFF!'

Destiny's wings quivered anxiously; this wasn't how it was supposed to go. Sparing one last glance to the girl making her way towards the Hufflepuff table, she beat her wings and took to the air to look for Kismet. Maybe they would have some answers.

'Hi. I'm Faraday.'

'I'm Clove.'

'You look sad.'

'Daddy went home!'

'It's okay! I'll look after you.'

'Will you?'

'Yes! I'm your friend!'

'Forever?'

'Right! Faraday and Clove, best friends forever!'

'Good evening, Mrs Timira, Mr and Mrs Tanner. I'm from the Muggleborn Informers League. Your daughters-'

'Excuse my interruption, Ms Parkinson, but we already know that Clove and the twins are magical. Faraday Fenwick's parents told us.'

'Well, that-'

'However, I am sure that I can speak for my husband and mother as well as myself when I would be delighted to learn more about the world that my three daughters will be expected to enter when they are of appropriate age.'

'Of course.'

'Day?'

'Mm?'

'Do you think I'm special?'

'Do you think you're not special?'

'My mummy and daddy talked to a lady who says I'm magic!'

'...'

'Day?'

'Yes?'

'Do you think I'm bad?'

'No! I'm magic too!'

'This is gonna be so much fun…'

'Day! Look!'

'Huh?'

'I can ask for butterflies!'

'What?'

'Yeah! I just ask for them in my mind and they come! I think it's 'cos, you know…'

'Oh! Come on, let's see!'

'...'

'They're so pretty, Livvy!'

'Hello, emergency services operator. Where are you?'

'Loo. At - at Kennington Park.'

'What is the number you are calling from?'

'XXXXX XXXXXX'

'Thank you. Now, could you describe what's happened for me?'

'My sister isn't breathing and - and she's white, like pale...'

'Please stay on the phone. I'm sending a paramedic team and law enforcement.'

'Shit…'

'Please remain calm. Help is on the way.'

'I don't see any help! My sister isn't breathing and Clove and Heather are crying and WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?'

'Don't worry. Try to get them both out of the vicinity of the body. Park staff has been notified and the park is being evacuated. The response teams should be arriving soon.'

'Yeah… Yeah, I can see. HEY! OVER HERE!'

Call Disconnected at 15:49 PM

'Okay, so, let's start at the beginning. You, your elder brother, and your two younger sisters were all walking home from school. Is that correct?'

'...'

'You stopped in the park because the deceased needed to go to the loo. Am I correct?'

'...'

'Okay… According to your brother and sister, she stayed there for around ten minutes. At first, you weren't suspicious. However, after the first ten minutes, you were getting slightly worried. Am I correct?'

'...'

'Moving on… You went inside alone and, a few seconds after entering, your sister heard you saying, and I quote, 'I'll kill him.' Shortly after, you ran out of the park toilet in a state of shock. Is this what happened?'

'...'

'You shook your head. Why?'

'...'

'Clove, I need you to tell me exactly what happened in there.'

'...'

'Morning, Devi.'

'Morning, Albert. Would you like to come in?'

'Yes, please. You… You may want to sit down for this.'

'...'

'Thanks for the tea.'

'You're welcome. Now, you're in uniform, so I know you're not here as a neighbour.'

'Yeah… The DCI was hoping you'd take this better from a familiar face.'

'This must be some troubling news, then. I'm assuming it's about my daughter?'

'Yeah. Erica's case has gone cold. They're probably filing it as we speak.'

'Well. That's that, I suppose.'

'I can't imagine what this must be like for you - as a mother, I mean.'

'In all honesty, I've done my grieving. Yes, there are some days when I just can't get out of bed in the morning… But I can't help but think that I did everything I could do for my baby. I'm just happy that Erica's in a place where she never has to grow up to see the sadness of the world.'

'I… I see.'

'I can't imagine how Clove will react, however.'

'Clove?'

'She's been mute. She doesn't even go over to Faraday's anymore.'

'Aren't they joined at the hip?'

'Not anymore. Some days… Some days she barely acknowledges any of us. And now she'll know that her sister's killer hasn't been found. I don't even want to imagine what that will do to her.'

'Neither do I. I'm sorry, but I'm needed back at the station.'

'Thank you for coming over.'

'Thank you for the tea. Send my regards to Heather and Clove.'

'Hey, Livvy.'

'...'

'Look, if you want to practice - OW! That hurt!'

'...'

'Do you even know what you're doing?'

'...'

'You know what? Never mind. I don't even know why I bothered with you.'
