To those of you complaining about being asked to answer a few routine questions as potential sources of information.

Two men are dead. Two families are broken. Two sets of children have lost their fathers. Two wives are without their husbands.

I am sorry for the inconvenience this is causing you

	While it is understood that two men are dead and families are grieving, does that negate the cause for questioning certain individuals, cleared initially, and with no connection to these murders, twice with the same routine questions? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	An explanation would be in your best interest. Unless you would prefer that I obtain formal documentation from the Wizengamot to extract that information instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's answering questions, and then there is diet-abduction and interrogation of innocents. But sure, let's all just do what the men in suits say. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Questioning, not interrogation. In a warm comfortable room, with tea and biscuits. Meanwhile, we have a body on a cold slab in the morgue. Perspective. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks for the cupboard update. [Sirius] I know what you're getting at, Black. I had nothing to do with Remus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_bag_of_tricks 2020-05-09 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	Warm comfortable rooms too. [Kingsly] That's my point. If you did it wouldn't have happened. Lack of responsibility is just as bad as having it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_lawandauror 2020-05-09 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure. [Sirius] What are you expecting to get out of this exchange, exactly? If venting helps you feel better, fine. But it won't change a damn thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kingsly _bag_of_tricks 2020-05-09 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	No, but it may make you feel just a little bit shitty about fucking up and dropping the ball, and that's enough for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Take all that agro bullshit and apply it to something productive. Like finding out who the bloody hell is causing this shit -- shit which has the potential to get every single person you care about killed. Which is exactly what I'm doing. It's also what James Potter is doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sounds like you've all got that covered, so instead I'll just continue to aim my so-called bullshit at the likes of you so you don't overlook the basic rights of this country's wizards again, aggravating our staff and neighbors, therefore just perpetuating the negative stereotype werewolves already have and have been struggling to counteract for a decade.

Fuck off, Kingsly, and stop trying to hide behind your holier than thou job. If you can't take responsibility for this bullshit, then grow a pair and do fucking better.

What are you on about? Remus was brought in because the bookshop is across the street from Fortescue's. Same as Ollivander, Madame Malkin, the manager of Flourish and Blotts, and all other business owners who came in. They were free to leave whenever they wanted. None of them did, because they give a shit about their community. Remus included.

Stop trying to mould the real world into that one inside your head. You sound like an angry little boy.

	Truly, their deaths are tragedies, but I don't know what else your colleagues expect me to be able to tell them. Surely false leads are not helping the grieving families. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_lawandauror 2020-05-09 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	Be that as it may, I'm sure your co-operation was appreciated and of great use. Both times. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You know well that this wasn't just about inconvenience. I don't like feeling targeted. Now, I know you didn't have anything to do with that. I get it, I do. I'm just frustrated with the whole situation. And... I imagine Sirius is giving you a hard time. Don't take it personally. He's protective of me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Remus _lawandauror 2020-05-10 12:06 am UTC (link)
	You're not being singled out or targeted. Most business owners in Diagon were brought in. It may seem stupid, but if there is even a slight chance of it helping us catch this person and therefore potentially saving lives, then it's worth it. Sirius doesn't bother me.

	That's fair. I suppose I'm just overly sensitive about some things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Remus _lawandauror 2020-05-10 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	Your concern is justified and rational, and I hear what you're saying. There's a lot of hatred out there. I just don't want you worrying that you're on some sort of shit-list linked to this crime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. I appreciate it, mate. (Reply to this) (Parent)
