Part 1 - The Assignment
Hello, my name is Gallick Moriarty. I am Auror for the Ministry of Magic and a Detective at Scotland Yard. This is my story of how I meet Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It all started in the summer before Harry Potter began his 3rd year at Hogwarts, when Sirius Black escaped from Azakaban.
"You called for me, Sir?" I asked as I walked into my boss's office.
"Yes, Moriarty. Have a sit. I assigning you and Tonks to a new case. This case has priority over everything. Sirius Black has escaped. The Minister is informing the Prime Minister right now. You are to coordinate with Scotland Yard to catch him. After you stop by the Yard, head to Azakaban and find out how he got out." Kingsley said. "Well, what are you waiting for? Go!"
"Yes, Sir." I replied with a salute as I back out of his office. "Tonks, get your civvies, we're going to visit your favorite detective." I shout as I walk through the main office.
"Ahh, man. Not him. Who did you piss off this time, Big Guy?" Tonks yelled as she caught up with me.
"God, probably. We pulled the Black case. We got to liase with the Yard, and that means talking to Michaels. After that we got to go to Azakaban. I heard the new book of that series you like is out, so we can pick that up after we talk to Michaels."
"You know you like the series as much as I do, 'Walker'. Well let's get this over with." Tonks replied as she changed her appearance to that of a slender blonde,
"After you, Pilgrim." Gallick said as they walked out the door and apparated to an alleyway near Scotland Yard.
Tonks and I walk to the entrance of Scotland Yard and stop at the reception desk. "Can you tell Inspector Michaels, that Detectives Walker and Pilgrim are here to see him."
"Yes, Sir." the receptionist replied as she picked up the phone. "Sir, there is a Detective Walker and Pilgrim to see you." After a couple of seconds, she said, "Yes,Sir, I'll send them right up. Detectives, he's in his office, go right on up."
In the office of Inspector Michaels, an man approximately 50 years old, balding, wearing an old suit, slumps over his desk. Speaking to himself, "Why did I ever accept this job, it was a supposed to a nice boring job to last until I retire, 10 years before I take it, nothing happens. Now it seems,I running from one end of Great Britian to the other on some case. And those 2, Moriarity and Tonks, I should have never said anything about that stupid comic. Now they do it to just annoy me. Get a grip an old man, it can't be that bad can it?"
"Hey old man, quit your bitching! We got a good one for you this time." Tonks says she walks into the office.
"Put a sock in it, Tonks. Everytime, you show up, my life goes to hell. I'm supposed to getting ready to retire, not go running off on wild goose chases. Bloody Wizards." Michaels growls back.
"Well, we got a big one for you. Escaped murder, responsbile for that big explosion 12 years ago, Sirius Black. We need your people to keep an eye out for him, consider him armed and very dangerous. Here is the file. You know how to contact us." I say as a set the file down on his desk.
"Is that all, Moriarty. I swear you to live up to your namesake, just to annoy the bloody hell out of me. For that matter, go bug Watson, I think she has something for you." Michaels snaps at me. "Now get out of my office, so I can get some real work down."
