Leonzio tossed the papers in his hands on the cherry desk in front of him. He leaned back on the deep burgundy, leather desk chair and rubbed his forehead in defeat.How much had he spent this time at his office? The almost empty mugs of cold coffee amongst the pile of papers on the desk, were giving a hint. The case of the Scitorari proved to be far more challenging than what he had thought initially. Every time new evidences were surfacing about this organization, its members managed to slip away like shadows out of the aurors' hands. So many operations gone to waste and no arrestments so far.
Leonzio breathed deeply and looked absent-mindedly across the quiet room. He stood up and went for the closest window. He pulled the curtains, allowing the midday light from outside to paint the opposite wall. His gaze pinned down at the busy street and the sidewalk cafes, people coming in and out of the shops. He shoved his hands in his pockets, keep wondering if his approach on this case had to take a way different direction. He slowly turned around and walked back to his chair. He manly crossed legs and took again the list that had arrived earlier today. The list contained names of suspects, possibly related to the Scitorari, formal suspected Death Eaters who could have followed the new wave or previously arrested criminals who could match the profile of the members of the new organization. Gray circles under his eyes were prominent but he went through the list attentively until he spotted a familiar name on the paper. The Burkes weren't only suspected because of the shop they were running. Their names had been mentioned in the past in several Death Eater cases but with the tangible evidence the headquarters needed.
Leonzio frowned as he tried to remember what else was reminding him this name. The swirls of fiery-red hair framing the soft features of a girl's face came in his mind and cracked a smile on his tired face. The girl he had met at the Three Broomstick a few months ago was named Burke.
"Celeste." Leonzio murmured still smiling as he recalled her name. She had referred back then to her uncle, aunt and cousins residing in New Zealand. Maybe he could learn more about them from her but he was haunted by remorses already at the thought of using such an adorable girl to facilitate his job. On the other hand, it wasn't the first nor the last time he was going to use his charm to extort information from a beautiful woman. In Celeste's case, he didn't have to do with the kind of women he was usually associating. She was still a girl, just a couple of years older than his brother Elbio.
"Sometimes I hate my job." he said to himself and opened one of his desk drawers. The end justifies the means he thought and searched for the girl's business card.
Half an hours later, Leonzio was far away from his office at the Ministry, outside a five star hotel in Auckland. Vratsa Vultures had a match yesterday against Moutohora Macaws and the team's players were staying here for a couple more days. Leonzio had checked the girl's card and confirmed that she was playring for the Bulgarian team. It was such a coincedence that her team had a match with New Zealand's local one. Leonzio made his way inside to the hotel's lobby. He decided to wait for her their rather than ask the receptionist. He didn't want to become too invading. He grabbed a muggles' newspaper and sat down on a leather coach. He started reading through its pages while shooting glances at the reception each time someone was arriving.
