Auror ReportDate: 28th August 2014WPC Violation: 150 Section A – Harbouring Known Criminals, Subsection 3.iii: Escapees; 150 Section C – Withholding Key Information Concerning a Known Criminal’s Whereabouts, Subsection 3.iii: Escapees.Subject of investigation: Concerning the location of known Death Eater Charles Selwyn Parties being investigated: David Smith, Head of the International Magic Office of LawInvestigating Auror: James KillickStarted: 10:00 AMEnded: 11:00 AM_______________________Excerpts from the transcript:JK: Did you harbour Charles Selwyn, knowing full well that he was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban?DS: Yes.JK: And you never reported this to the authorities?DS: Not officially.JK: Could you please explain that statement?DS: Pen Rhionydd is a tiny village. I doubt that either Mr Bones or Mr Robards were unaware that my brother-in-law had escaped from Azkaban.JK: Mr Bones and Mr Robards are not the ones being investigated here.DS: Are you a family man, Mr Killick?JK: This is hardly appr –DS: Well then; suppose you found yourself torn between your duty as a Ministry man and your duty to your family, which one would you choose? Would you have the satisfaction of knowing that you were a morally upstanding man, or would you prefer peace in your home in time of war?JK: Mr Smith –DS: Imagine it, Mr Killick. On the one hand, your days are governed by your family – men and women with whom you share not only a home, but a village; there is no escaping them – on the other hand, your conscience and your position as a Ministry man. Have you ever experienced the wrath of a woman who has not had her own way? No, then Mr Killick, you are a lucky man. Should I have attempted to report him, all that would have happened was that he would have slipped through my fingers, aided no doubt by my brother-in-law and my wife, and then he should have been far beyond my control. I did what I could to mitigate the worst of his actions, unfortunately it was not enough. Do you not think, Mr Killick, that I have not regretted every moment of my decision to ignore Charles Selwyn’s presence in my home to please my wife? I wished to avoid the example set for me by those who had preceded me and for all my pains I have had this flung in my teeth by my children. JK: And yet despite that you have been withholding information concerning Mr Selwyn’s whereabouts?DS: I don’t make the same mistakes twice, Mr Killick. If I had found him again, rest assured I would have delivered him to your office without a moment’s hesitation. _______________________ Notes:Guilty of concealing Charles Selwyn’s whereabouts between 1995 – 1997 and 1997-1998 under the interim Ministry. Proceed with caution re. Statute of Limitations; mentioned pressing charges if officially charged with harbouring Selwyn between 1995-1997.

No point setting Flint’s back up for no purpose – Owen Cauldwell Auror Cauldwell will please refrain from making personal comments about his superiors, especially where his superiors can see them. If he has something to say he can say it to his superiors’ faces rather than sneaking behind their backs – Michael Corner -- source link
