Crixus nodded his head silently when Ceres mentioned that she had wounded one of her attackers, and her mentioning the fact that she thought she recognized one of the attackers by their wand only confirmed that fact that someone she might have known was in on the attack, possibly the same one who came onto her blood heritage. Crixus reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a black bag that was roughly the size of a coin purse, opening it he reached his arm in, first his hand then his arm then he was shoulder deep in the bag searching for something. Upon finding what he was searching for he pulled his arm out to reveal Ceres's wand, placing the bag back in his pocket he removed his own wand and pointed it at Ceres's wand, with a swish he cast a spell to tell him what the last spell she used before arriving at the Ministry.

[b]"Sectumsempra was your last spell used, interesting choice of spells I must admit, it is not a well known spell. That would have left a rather devastating wound. However I imagine that it has been healed by now, well that is if whoever you cast it on is still alive. With groups such as this, failure is not something that is tolerated, a lot of the time the failing witches or wizards are killed to show the rest what will happen if they too fail. Its a lot of speculation at this point but this information will help, the scar left from such a wound would be recognizable. Here I do not believe it is necessary to keep your wand from you any further"[/b]

Crixus handed Ceres her wand back, the sunglasses on his face shined for a moment as if enchanted and then returned to normal. He removed them silently as his eye's suddenly shifted colors from green to blue almost instantly, wiping the lenses on his glasses he placed them back on his nose and resumed his attention to Ceres.

"They would bade me not to tell you this but your probably still in danger, your father and Mr. Potter are discussing what is to happen next. Its not much in the long run but I am sorry this had to happen to you. With this said I do have one more question to ask, who is Levi? Normally I would not ask as is it not my business, but I am certain I saw you tense up at his name. Given what has happened I feel I should explore all avenues at this point dead end or not."

[b]"This is a mess Mr. Solar, I wish I didn't have to say this but your daughter has just become the first survivor of this mysterious faction of dark wizards. Having been in the mind of many dark wizards I feel that this in their eye's is a mistake that must quickly be rectified. Given the secrecy of their group, your daughter is a liability that can not be tolerate, and that is just a start for we still don't know why she was attacked to begin with. Trying to kill the daughter of one who works in Magical Law Enforcement is a bold move no matter the group. There is a plot here and unfortunately we are too blind to read into it.[/b]

Harry Potter sat behind his desk with his hands crossed in front of him, the trademark scar went across the side of his forehead, it was now more visible against his slowly receding hairline. John Solar didn't know it but Harry was reading him like a book, seeing the doubt, the anger inside him and the questioning looks of why this is happening. Maybe he had been in this life too long, but reading people was easier then taking a breath of air to him. Harry waited patiently his trademark look boring into John Solar's eye's, he did not know what to say.

[b]"I have to keep my family safe Mr. Potter, I do not know why this is happening or who is truly doing it but my daughters safety is my number one priority. This is why I intend to travel away from London for awhile, I do not wish it but I can not risk leaving her in the path of certain danger. We will go somewhere secret and tell no one and let this pass."[/b]

[b]"I am afraid that will not be a possible route Mr. Solar, I can not allow you or your daughter to flee London. If you like it or not she is the only survivor to date after being attacked by this group of dark wizards. It pains me to say this but your daughter has now become our best chance of finding this group and putting and end to them for good."[/b]

The look on John Solar's face was of disbelief and anger, it was expected but the man had worked in this department for many years he knew better then anyone what was being said was the truth. Although often times it is hard to see the truth beyond personal attachment.

[b]"I won't do it, I won't use my own daughter and risk her life, I know what your suggesting and I will not let it happen. She has been through enough as it is. She should be worrying about her career, her future family, her life, not if someone is going to rip it all away from her for reasons in which she does not yet understand. If it was your child you would say the same thing and you know that Mr. Potter."[/b]

[b]"Mr. Solar I do not have the luxury of personal attachment, my job is to protect the magical community and the muggle community from those that would destroy it. I can not weigh one life against countless others regardless of what I might or might not feel. I have watched her grow up just like you and I feel a personal responsibility to her safety like you do, but I can not afford to let that blind me to the truth. With that said I do not intend to throw her into the fire and see what happens either. I can not allow you to take her away, I would rather have you on board but if necessary I will make this an Auror matter specifically keeping you from being in the loop. Either you can listen to what I feel is the best course of action or you can leave now."[/b]

Harry Potter looked at the resentment in John Solar's eye's, he knew well enough that this matter was not left up to him or his family and he could either be with it or not be in it at all. It was a harsh reality to face but thus was the life of one in such harsh predicaments.

[b]"What is your plan Mr. Potter and how much can you guarantee that my daughter will remain safe?"[/b]

[b]"My plan is for your daughter to return to Hogwarts under the protection of one of my best Aurors, the young Mr. Crixus whom I believe you know. I am aware that she is in her final year at Hogwarts, and this is an opportunity which we can use to our advantage. We believe that someone your daughter or your family knew is part of this group, and it was them who let loose the facts of your daughters past and her real parents, we believe this is why she was targeted to begin with. Hogwarts is protected and heavily guarded, better then any other place in the world, especially so after Voldemorts defeat. I want to send her there with Mr. Crixus, it is my thinking that who ever went after your daughter tonight will try again. They have proven their bold and daring and I feel they will try again at Hogwarts but they will be at a disadvantage in such a protected place which places the ball in our court not theirs."[/b]

[b]"I don't know Mr. Crixus at all, he is just a kid I pass in the Ministry now and again. He does not even look like he could protect himself fully none the less someone else. How is this suppose to be a good plan Mr. Potter, if they bypass Hogwarts protection somehow then he would be the one to stop them and I don't think he has the ability."[/b]

[b]"Mr. Solar I would have Mr. Crixus be my personal bodyguard if a time ever arose that I needed one. There is much you do not know about him, a lot of it is kept secret from even the top Aurors in the division. He has special abilities which are beyond normal Aurors and this makes him incredibly valuable on details like this. It is why he is the lead on this group of dark wizards, I trust him with my own life as much as I would my own closest friends whom I have been through so much with. There are no guarantees Mr. Solar but I can tell you this, he will not let your daughter come to harm easily if at all, I ask that you trust my judgement on this."[/b]

Harry watched the man contemplate what was said, he did not like what he was hearing but often times it was not easy to accept such circumstances. John Solar sighed heavily as if feeling certain defeat on the subject and spoke:

[b]"I will trust your judgement, you have never lead this Agency astray and you have never failed any of us in this time or the past. I only request that I be kept in the loop on this, give me that and I will agree with what you plan to do, I can't stop it but I can sure as hell make sure I can do whatever I can to keep her safe myself."[/b]

[b]"Thank you Mr. Solar, please return to your daughter and tell her specifically that she will be returning to Hogwarts under the watchful eye of Mr. Crixus. Inform her however for her sake that it is merely a counter measure to ensure that she remain safe until this passes I do not wish to panic her."[/b]
