Harry Potter felt shock and surprise. Mad- Eye Moody had been murdered in Diagon Alley, killed by what looked like Death Eaters. It seemed that the Death Eaters were stepping out of any semblance of control.
It could potentially be quite dangerous. Had the murder been in retaliation at the entire affair with Evan Rosier and the hospital? He had to have a much more detailed look at the entire affair.
At the moment, he should go, pay a private visit to Cyrus Greengrass. The lawyer could probably work for him... he was the de- facto head of the neutral faction, like Dumbledore and Voldemort led their faction.

Cyrus was, to put in a single word: impressed.
First, Harry freaking Potter, the celebrity of the Wizarding World, had come on business.
Second, he had followed a Muggle custom that Cyrus found dignified: sending up a calling card.
Thirdly, the calling card itself-
Lord Harry James Potter- Perevell- Slytherin
Student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Seat- Holder in the Wizengamot, Emancipated adult
Harry Potter had etiquette. Cyrus, unknown to all but his family, had a fascination for Muggles. So he knew quite a lot about Muggles and was impressed, awed by them.
Pippi, the House- elf, was making dinner. So, Twinkle brought Harry Potter up the stairs.
'Good morning, Lord Potter. As far as I know, my daughters are not acquainted with you as far as I know, except in passing. So, you could not have had any other reason for coming here, except business. ' Cyrus smiled.
'Correct, Lord Greengrass. You have a very good brain on your shoulders.'
'Elementary, Lord Potter. Let us do away with the formalities, and call me Cyrus. I like my clients to be in a much more friendly atmosphere. And yes, I am an avid reader. Including Arthur Conan Doyle. ' chuckled Cyrus. 'So, what grave business brings Harry Potter to my doorstep today?'
'A lawsuit... against an Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Cyrus. Surely you will know him.' Harry explained seriously.
Cyrus' eyebrows disappeared into his hair, and he whistled: 'What has the barmy old codger done this time?'
Harry slowly unfolded the tale: of Dumbledore's deception, illegal guardianship, proxy abuse, betrayal and forcibly sealing the will, incarceration of Sirius, the bribery, stealing, the Horcrux, setting him up to die, and all.
Cyrus first looked horrified, then disgusted, then livid.
He barely could whisper in the end: 'How dare he-?!'
