Case Summary: I was hired by Lucius Malfoy after his son began to talk - not his soulmate's name as is common, but two to four-word sentences. I was tasked with finding the soulmate for Draco Malfoy, heir to Malfoy fortune, as if he can speak then they must have met in some capacity.
Current Report Status: SOLVED
Below I have compiled all my notes, expenses which will be credited by Mr L Malfoy and all of the evidence to support my findings. I kept regularly logs of my findings which show a concise timeline of my conduct and research.
Day #1 - Spent the morning with Draco and his mother Narcissa who gave me all the locations they'd been over the past two weeks. I was assured that before that, Draco could only babble his soulmate's name.
Charles
Day #4 - I have now ruled out the coffee morning Narcissa Malfoy had spent with her son and several of her school friends, who brought their children. No one was called or Charles or knew of anyone who's soulmate name was Draco.
I will have to start to look further afield.
Day #9 - After thoroughly depleting most of the leads, I am faced with one conclusion. The only time Draco could have come into contact with his soulmate was during a Quidditch match. The Malfoy family attended the Montrose Magpies vs. Appleby Arrows. Draco later went back into the Magpies Common Room and met several of the players, including the Keeper and Captain.
This case may take much longer than I anticipated.
Day #11 - I have acquired Pensieve memories from several reporters and the commentator of the match. Now I will need to follow the Malfoy's and see who Draco interacts with.
Day #12 - I believe I have narrowed down the potential soulmate to a member of a redheaded family which spent some time visiting the players alongside the Malfoy family. Arthur Weasley is the father of the family (it would appear he won a competition through a departmental raffle) and tomorrow I plan on going to their family home.
Day #13 - I spoke with Molly and Arthur Weasley. Their second eldest son is named Charles. He hasn't spoken recently but his parents have agreed to monitor him. Until there is proof that Charles is verbal I have not revealed who his soulmate may be.
Day #15 - Today Charles and Draco met. They both talked to each other, confirming that they are soulmates. It was very special, to see ten-year-old Charlie Weasley spend time talking with a babbling Draco Malfoy. This case has been solved and Lucius Malfoy has settled all accounts.
Final Notes: I hope that both families are happy and that the soulmates have a long and happy life together.
