Duel Enrollment

Tri-Casting

Last Time:

It didn't matter what disguise Dumbledore wore. Nothing would make Brian comfortable with the sadistic glint in Rita's eyes when 'she' looked at Julian ...

An Auror looked at his badge and wrote the password with his finger, "I should check in." He said and went to the ministry. Once he entered he went over to his desk. On his desk was an orb. "So there is something new." He commented and tapped the orb with his badge.

After a moment the orb glowed and the words 'Dumbledore is using Rita Skeeter's form' floated to the surface. Once the information was read the words vanished and the orb became dark implying that the information could no longer be accessed. Now he had an extra mark in his badge and he went to the floo network. Without a word he tapped the mark to the back of the floo when stepped inside and it automatically flooed him away.

"Perfect timing. Auror Duet, you will complete the second surveillance team with Auror Crystal and Auror Fin.." Cornelius said and gestured to the three other Aurors standing next to his desk before looking back down at some paperwork.

"Yes, Minister." Auror Duet said and joined the other two Aurors.

The minister took only a minute more to check off a couple addresses before handing it to the team, "The first team was given a list of properties owned by Dumbledore to investigate. You will be given Rita Skeeter's address. Gringotts was kind enough to give us a copy of the blueprints. Investigate thoroughly and be careful." He ordered while handing over the blueprints.

Auror Duet reached forward to take the plans, "Yes, minister." The three Aurors said and apparated away to complete their task.

"Let's keep watch from outside for a while first." Auror Crystal suggested as they pulled out some cloaks.

Before disappearing under the cloaks so they could truly become invisible they placed special tracking spells on each. If they didn't then they would lose track of where their teammates were once they put the invisibility cloaks on. With the tracking spells in place they disappeared under the cloaks and the Aurors crept close to Rita Skeeter's address.

After examining the area for any security spells or runes they went up to the door. They paid close attention for any of the alarms that could go off and they only found a couple very strong ones on the actual door. With some skill and teamwork the team disabled all the security features, but they didn't enter the home. Instead the Aurors started scanning all the wards and examining the information that was transferred by the scanning spell to the inside of their badges.

"Interesting ...no one has been in or out for a while. At least, not through the door." The Auror called Fin commented while looking at his badge from under his cloak.

Auror Duet hummed as he looked at the blueprints, "It's possible Dumbledore isn't bothering to use much of the house, but let's check the floo wards first. There's a floo fireplace inside and it's against an exterior wall. Let's set up camp and try to access the floo information from out here."

Around Rita Skeeter's house was a rocky shoreline and a few other fancy homes. The team of Aurors moved to find a couple slightly open areas. After a little searching they picked a spot that had a view of the floo through one window. With some quick unes being placed on the chosen area the Auror team put down another tracking spell on that spot and pulled out a tent. Once the tent hit the runes it set itself up and seemingly became invisible thanks to it having a layer of the same fabric used in invisibility cloaks being sewn on the outer layer.

"Ok, the tent is up. The floo is on this wall." Auror Duet commented and they went to the side of the home that had the fireplace on the other side. A few more scanning spells revealed some useful information. "Dumbledore definitely uses the floo."
