for crimson quill's murder one-shot challenge
Retired Auror Alastor Moody discovers the body of a known criminal outside the Knockturn Alley office where he runs a private investigation business. Although he calls in the Aurors, he can't keep from looking into the case himself. He follows the few leads he can find, but finds only dead ends. Finally, he tries rattling a cage, then staking the crime scene.Sic semper tyrannis
It is the morning of 26th December 1968 and the scandal breaks like a storm: Minister Nobby Leach has been poisoned. The suspect, Abraxas Malfoy, sits in a holding cell, red-handed and innocent. Auror Alice Longbottom is leading the investigation - not into the poisoning, but into a string of strange crimes: people vanishing, candlesticks stolen, and rumours that the dead are coming back. The Department of Mysteries is reluctant to help: James Selwyn left the office three weeks ago under a cloud of suspicion, and since then the Death Chamber has been locked, its contents sealed away.
Eyes are watching everything, everywhere, spying on protests and squishing riots, but talk is growing in the shadows: turning from unrest to rebellion to revolution.
Lord Voldemort is ready.

Men become accustomed to poison by degrees - Victor Hugo
It is October 1949: Lycus Malfoy is dying, quarantined in his house alone but for his wife, Adelaide, who still hopes there is a miracle cure; Eileen Prince has vanished into a Muggle life, washing the dead and arranging flowers, away from the sneers she endured at school; Cygnus and Orion Black are at war with each other even as they bury their secrets six feet deep.
There is a murderer on the loose, shrouded in paranoia, and the old structures, things of blood and age and time, are starting to crumble.
And a ship arrives from Lübeck bringing Tom Riddle home.

"You're a muggle, aren't you?" he asks.
You don't know what a muggle is. From his tone, you can tell it's not a good thing if you are one.
"I- I don't know." You have to force the words out of your mouth. "I don't know what a Muggle is."
"You must be one, then," the masked man says. "Follow me, and I'll show you."
