We seem to have a very crafty and intelligent individual walking among us. They very keenly broke down highly complicated wards and made their way through my home without tripping any others. Everything was left a mess, but nothing was taken.

Very odd.

[Eva]
The wards were down. Why were the wards down?

[Severus]
My home was broken into. It looks as though they were searching for something. My wards are too complicated for any average witch or wizard which makes me think that this was the work of the Ministry. The way the place was ransacked with nothing taken, it had to be. Did anything like this happen to you?

[Private]
~~A misstep~~
Did I leave something behind?
Someone is tracking me.
Next time. Incapacitate them. But don't kill them

*Wards*
Who sets them?
When.
~~Ask.~~
No. Watch. Listen. Don't. Be. Obvious.

Polyjuice
Time Room. Someone from the Time Room. Who works there?
Find out. Schedules. Hours.
Just need a hair.

	Barty! Are you alright? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Other than my home looking like someone used confringo to every room, just fine. ~~Worried maybe~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I hope the DMLE gets it sorted for you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	rulesoforder 2016-11-11 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	Please come by the DMLE offices to submit your official report as soon as you're able. [Barty] I'll come and investigate personally. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_crouchjr_ 2016-11-11 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	Not to worry, Lachlan. Nothing was stolen. So I'm not even sure that an investigation is necessary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rulesoforder 2016-11-11 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	It's still breaking and entering. [Barty] Just because nothing was stolen doesn't mean someone couldn't have discreetly put something in the home. For your sake and Evaelyn's, I would like to be sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_crouchjr_ 2016-11-12 09:58 am UTC (link)
	That it is. [Lachlan] I did check the place myself. Nothing seems out of sorts, but I understand you want to make sure...for your sister's sake of course. I won't stop you. A second pair of eyes and charms might be good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Barty rulesoforder 2016-11-12 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	You are very capable, but your area of expertise is not in investigating crime scenes. I will make certain your home is safe to stay in. In the meantime, you and Eva are welcome to stay with Miriam and I. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lachlan _crouchjr_ 2016-11-12 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	We might take you up on that offer. Let me talk to Eva, but I don't think she'll turn it down either. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Someone attempted to bypass the wards on my flat. They were unsuccessful, but I suspect they'll try again if they're determined. Did they find anything at yours? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Severus _crouchjr_ 2016-11-12 09:59 am UTC (link)
	I have my suspicions. If I were you, double up on those wards. Nothing. But they were clearly looking for something because they didn't take anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Barty forget_peace 2016-11-12 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	They've already been reinforced. I may be relocating some more... sensitive projects, just in case. You would do well to consider the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Severus _crouchjr_ 2016-11-12 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, of course. Relocate. Seems like the best plan. I'll have to consider my options carefully and set up some more...daring wards this time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Barty forget_peace 2016-11-13 12:31 am UTC (link)
	If you need someone to test them, let me know. If you and I cannot get past wards, no one else could possibly manage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Severus _crouchjr_ 2016-11-13 11:29 am UTC (link)
	I test your wards, you test mine? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Barty forget_peace 2016-11-13 01:18 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly. It's mutually beneficial, and the most efficient way to make sure that we're better protected. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	anoblealice 2016-11-11 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	I will begin to make enquiries. I hope you are not too shaken by the events. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_crouchjr_ 2016-11-12 10:01 am UTC (link)
	I promise, Lady Longbottom, that it won't be necessary. Although if it happens again... I am fine. My wife, on the other hand, may not be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lord Crouch Jr anoblealice 2016-11-12 05:00 pm UTC (link)
	I will follow Lachlan's lead on this. If she needs any assistance or counselling regarding the matter, do not hesitate to get in touch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lady Longbottom _crouchjr_ 2016-11-12 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	I will pass the word along to her. Thank you, Lady Longbottom, your concern is very much appreciated. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Someone entered your residence on -- a self-destructive whim? How...odd indeed. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_crouchjr_ 2016-11-12 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	Who knows for sure what motivated them to do it. But it is very odd, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Barty avaliant 2016-11-12 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. Are you sure they didn't take anything? The house is a fucking mess, they even went through my sock drawer, Barty. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Eva _crouchjr_ 2016-11-12 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	I am more than sure that they did not take anything. Your brother seems to think they might have put something in the house instead. He suggests we stay with him and Miriam. I think we should. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Barty avaliant 2016-11-14 08:50 am UTC (link)
	Yes. I think we should. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Barty desrengier 2016-11-12 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	Alice Longbottom and her aurors are all over this like a fucking flannel. It wasn't anyone from the DMLE though, couldn't have been. Made any enemies lately? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Rabastan _crouchjr_ 2016-11-12 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	Of course they are. My wife is head of her department and I am an Unspeakable. The DMLE can't let this go without going over the top. Enemies. I'm not exactly sure many like me to begin with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Barty desrengier 2016-11-12 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, but there's a difference between not liking someone and being willing to break into their home. If they didn't find what they were looking for the first time, then they will likely return. Perhaps lay down some bear traps to greet them. Crude, yet amusingly effective. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rabastan _crouchjr_ 2016-11-13 11:34 am UTC (link)
	Maybe they weren't looking for anything at all. What if they ransacked the place to make it look that way, but instead planted something. Bear traps, huh? Got any lying around I could borrow then? (Reply to this) (Parent)
