Severus Snape walked down the halls of the police station in a brisk pace, he checked his watch, it was 8:30 AM. There had been an accident a few hours ago, and so he had to take a detour to get to the station. It cost him about fifteen minutes to get here, and he was sure that certain people would be more than happy to find out that punctual Snape actual showed up late for once. It'd be annoying to have to deal with those people.
He nodded to a few of his co-workers as he walked down the hall and took a sharp right. He then came across a set of double doors and stopped. He could already hear the grumbling of the people inside the room, and briefly considered wasting a few extra minutes just to spite them. But he wasn't that petty... well he wasn't petty enough to act like a child. He'd leave that up to Black and Potter, both of whom never learned when to grow up. Snape entered the room, his lab coat billowing behind him as the people in the room turned to look at him.
"Well it's about time!" Black shouted, "Seriously what took you so long Sev?"
"Don't call me that." Snape snapped at him. "Anyway I'm going to assume we're all here?"
After seeing a majority of the people in the room nod, Snape continued, "Well then I suppose I should get started."
He then went over to a computer that sat in the back of the room, he then logged into his account and pulled up a PowerPoint he had saved when he was at the apartment. He flipped the lights off and began to speak to the police who had gathered in the room,
"As you all know, last night the Grindlewald Apartment caught on fire." Snape said, "You also know that the fire was a cover up for the murder of Quinirus Quirrell, a former teacher at Hogwarts Academy."
A photo of Quirrell's face showed up on the projection screen, along with information about the man. Snape then switched to a different slide which showed the state of Quirrell's burnt corpse.
"The victim was murdered after being fatally stabbed in the chest and the neck," Snape continued, "Afterwards his body was burned in attempt to get rid of the evidence."
"Fortunately, we were able to recover the body, for now it's sitting in the morgue."
Snape then switched to the next slide, which showed the state of the burnt apartment, "The cameras inside the apartment were destroyed, but..." He then switched the slide to a video, "Fortunately the outside cameras were still intact, and they picked up the time before, during, and after the murder."
"This is what the cameras caught," Snape said as he clicked on the play button for the video.
Quirrell's shadow can be seen through the curtains of the window sitting on a couch. Suddenly there's a knock on the door. Quirrell gets up from his seat and heads for the door,
"Huh, I think you have the wrong room," Quirrell says in confusion, "I don't think I'm who you're looking for."
The person says something softly, which the camera doesn't pick up, Quirrell though, reacts in surprise.
"Really...I didn't think they hire people so...young." Quirrell says, though there's something different about his tone. "Well if you're the one they sent, you can come in."
Quirrell then brings the person in and locks the door behind him.
"So what's your name?" Quirrell asks.
The person says something softly again, which the cameras are unable to pick up their voice.
"So your name is Rose? Well it makes sense given the color of your hair."
"Is this your first time Rose?" Quirrell asks, and he seemingly gets a response from 'Rose' that pleases him, "Don't worry just do what I tell you, and everything will be okay."
"So how old are you Rose?"
'Rose' answers Quirell's question which causes his tone to shift, "thirteen-years old, you're really young if you want to take on this kind of work." he says.
"Well I suppose that after this night you'll become a full fledged adult."
"DId you bring protection Ms. Rose?" Quirrell asks, "things could get...sticky."
'Rose' answers him before turning around and bending down to grab something.
"Well I think we'll have a pleasant-!"
'Rose' then whirls around and sticks something sharp in Quirrell's chest, judging by how small and thin it is, it appears to be a knife.
"N...gahgh..." Quirrell stumbles back as he stares at his chest, not comprehending the fact that he had just been stabbed. 'Rose' then tackles him to the ground before raising her knife into the air and stabbing Quirrell in the throat.
"Gaaaghgh!"
Quirrell then attempts to crawl away from the girl and heads toward his telephone, dialing 999 for help. The girl takes her time as she slowly walks over to Quirrell before slicing the phone line. She then repeatedly stabs Quirrell in the chest over and over again. Eventually she heads out of the room for a while before coming back with a jug of oil in her hands. She spills the oil around the room, lights a match, and then sets the room on fire before leaving.
"So he let her in," Potter says with a frown, "Well then that explains how she could have gotten into the room..."
"There weren't any signs of a break in," Snape said, "We also dusted the doorknob to see if we could find any fingerprints, it seems that she was wearing gloves at the time of the crime."
"And the only thing we know about the culprit is that she's thirteen, her name is 'Rose', and she does..." Black wrinkled his nose, "...things for lonely gentlemen."
The rest of the people in the room also showed signs of disgust at Quirrell's behavior.
"So then, do we know where he ordered the...services?" Potter asked.
Snape nodded, "Yes, he ordered a 'Funtime' service from Maids are Babes," Snape said, "It's a...place located on the corner of Knockturn Alley Avenue and Leaky Way Drive."
"Alright then Sirus, come with me, we'll head out and see what we can find out about this 'Rose' girl."
"Ugh," Black looked annoyed, "I hate that place so much, I always end up losing my wallet."
"Ah, c'mon stop being a baby," Potter said and physically dragged the other man out of the room.
Snape sighed as they left the room, really shouldn't they have grown up by now?
