Barney Killer| Wattys 2016

coffee and murder

A/N: That's the unicorn onesie that will have alot of references A couple minutes later i was sitting in Starbucks cradling a Mocha. "So did you see the World Quidditch results" he took a sip of a latte "yeah shame about Britain but at least Scotland won " For the next hour I didn't think about the case and just talked Quidditch then got onto Hogwarts memories "Do you remember the match where you snatched the snitch from under Dravens nose?" We chuckled at the memory "Beth seriously you scared the spaghetti out of me! That was when you literally fell off your broom" I laughed at Benedict's attempt to not swear before speaking out "excuse you those Dementors were highly distracting" We both chuckled. Then the conversation took a dark turn "So you still have nightmares?" "About what?" I responded to the question like a drama queen "There's the betrayal of Draven which led to torture by death performers (to give proper termology) which led to me meeting Moriarty, kidnapped for the release of that assassin. Hmmm what about being tortured for infomation on Torchwood. Maybe the time i saw Sherlock be tortured and it was my fault" "im sorry" he leant over for a big hug. Sometimes having a friend who gives you bear hugs every minute is the best thing ever and sometimes you want to kill that friend.

After that we walked back to the flat and talked some more. "I will always remember the time you saved the whole of our Defense against the dark arts class" "oh shush all i did was cast a patronus charm" "Against like 5 dementors" he retorted. Before you ask no Proffessor Song didn't bring in dementors we had them guarding the school as we were hosting the Triwizard Tournement and some death performer son summoned them. Idiot. "Beth we have pizza" John called from the kitchen. Life is good if there is pizza

It was the next day and I was looking through CCTV in my flat when the bell went. As i was in a l Unicorn onesie and claw slippers I was apprehensive but it was Lesterade with bad news. The Barney Killer had struck again. After changing into more appropriate clothing attire I left on my bike to the crime scene. They had found the trademark prints of the purple dinosaur and called me in. "Bellatrix" Parents are potterheads i thought "20 year old student at Royal Vetinary College wide circle of friends. Went out for a night on the town and never returned to her dorm." We were in a near identical alley to poor Luella (poor in the fact she died, as I think I mentioned she has 3 houses). "Do your thing" Lesterade clapped his hands together "Single, book lover, anxiety, self harmed, has asthma, frequent computer user, trumpet player. " I pulled the tounge out, as the crime scene had been discovered 30 minutes ago. The tounge was a vivid pink the remains of the acid "Drug user." I said.

I was starting to make connections "I think it was a one off due to the fact the symptoms are not as servere as the other victims" I sighed " The other victims were torutured before thier demise, they were slashed in almost artistic way. Then necks slit with a clean line. Bellatrix has a simple slash to her neck." before I could finish my mother nodded "Can I see the first victim?" An hour later I was in the morgue with my mother, family bonding time. The first victim was 21 year old Vanessa who had been studying sport science at the appropriately named Sport Science University "I think all the victims are linked by the fact they are all rich, all took acid and were generally good girls" I spoke carefully choosing my words "Do you think Bellatrix was a mistake?" My mother broached "Sadly yes. May have been offered at some club and sadly Barney found her. Barney may have realized this hence the reason why she was killed differently" So tragic. I am not being sarcastic. "Why don't you go interview the friends? " My mother asked "good idea molly" Lesterade spoke up from the doorway "Nah got some cctv to look at" I shot off on my bike and I knew I couldn't see people as the case was consuming my brain space. Benedict was waiting at the flat along wirh John "Beth I am going to Mary's for a while she says I spend too much time here. Sorry " "that's ok" I smiled "I'll look after her" Benedict said while pulling me in a bear hug. "Ok I'll be off" the door shut behind him. I went downstairs to make some spag bowl while Benedict had a look at the CCTV from the last know location of Bellatrix. Suddenly my phone pinged with a text, then the news on.This can't be good.
