(With Kingsley Shacklebolt)

Kingsley had just returned from talking to Trevor Saltz. He had cleared the man. He had been around the correct age but he didn't do it. The man was unable to be the dark lord due to not being able to do magic. Thanks to all the inbreeding the man had been physically deformed. His fingers had never developed fully and had been small and stubby. He was unable to hold a wand properly.

Another thing was that his magic was unstable. He had a hard time controlling it. His parents had his magic sealed. He left the wizarding world and lived in the muggle world. Kingsley felt bad that the man paid for his family's mistakes.

That did mean that they knew who the dark lord was. Now he just needed to look into Thomas Riddle. At least they were getting closer. He just hoped that the dark lord didn't get wind of it. He sent an encrypted message to the minister to let him know.

He went to the records room and began searching. He decided to go back to when he attacked Harry Potter. It took him a while since there was a lot. He had to do it by hand so that it lowered the risk of the dark lord finding out.

"Finally." He said when he finally came across a record belonging to Riddle.

It was actually an application for the ministry. It was dated forty six years ago. He found that Dumbledore had black listed him but didn't give a reason. He cursed that man once more. Especially when he saw the proposal the man had written out.

He wanted to monitor witches and wizards in magical homes more closely and have them removed as soon as they are abused. He also wanted to make sure any wizard/witch in an orphanage was removed and placed with a family.

It sounded like a good idea to him. It also made sense as to why Dumbledore didn't want the proposal to go through. He wanted to know what happened to the man. He rubbed his eyes and continued his search. It was thirteen hours later before he had finished collecting everything. He then returned to his office.

"Time for a break." He said after he had locked them in a drawer and warded the drawer.

"I got this." Alastor said.

"Got what?" Kingsley asked in confusion.

"I'm watching your office. Umbridge was in mine. Didn't take anything since it is all locked up but she certainly tried." He answered.

"That doesn't surprise me. Thank you." He said.

"You're welcome. Go home and get some rest. Don't forget to eat." He said.

"I won't. Here." He handed him what he had.

"What's this?" He asked.

"I narrowed it down to one." He answered.

"Oh." Alastor understood what Kingsley was saying. "I'll give these a look then."

"Thank you." He said.

"Not a problem."

Kingsley left after that. Alastor took the files and went back to his own office. He locked and warded the door before he sat down at his desk. Luckily for him Kingsley had already put them in order. He began reading.
