Early May  1978

Gideon Prewett visits Alastor Moody in his office at the Aurory. (Thread)

Prewett reports his observations and findings on possible torture victims (subjected to the Cruciatus curse, possibly more). All victims were marked with a similar mark in their necks and all appeared to have a possible partially erased or modified memory.

Upon reporting these findings to his superior, Oliver Daury, Daury dismissed them as false. Daury threatened Prewett’s job should he continue his investigations or reveal his suspicions to anyone.

Early May, cont  Prewett leaves files on the victims an the situation at a secret location for Moody to collect. (no thread)

Early May, cont Moody visits St. Mungo's to interview some of the victims (thread)

Victim 1: Mrs. Keizer. 53 years of age. Muggle. Widow of Mr. Keizer as of 2 years. No Children. Attacked alone while walking at night. First account: Mrs. Keizer reported having walked down Parker street, to get to her apartment, but later swapped it with Fleet Street, a road leading her away from her apartment. Second account: Mrs. Keizer recalls walking home from a night store, to her apartment. Mrs. Keizer was found, however, at the store after the attack. 

Victim 2: Mr. Roders. 26 years of age. Muggle. Married to Mrs. Lodeim. No children. First account: Attacked after leaving work. Second account: Attacked after going to work.

Victim 3: Miss Peggy. 26 years of age. Muggle. Single. No Children. Was attacked before going to pub with acquaintances but recalls being in said pub and having fun with said acquaintances. 

Victim 4: John Berry. Elderly. Muggle. Widowed. Attacked while walking his dog. The breed of the animal changed per account. (3) 

Victim 5: gentleman. 41. Muggle. 2 stepchildren. Attack could not have fitted in his daily schedule (punctual) 

Victim 6. Mrs. Fawkes. 37. Married. 1 child. Could not tell whether her son or her daughter had been home with her during the attack. 

All victims are convinced they were found/returned home the same night they disappeared, but witness accounts contradict this by stating they were gone for entire days. 

Theory: Illegal memory spell/charm experimentation disguised as torture/death-eater activity. Second opinions on memory modification and torture are needed. 

Mid May:  Prewett and Moody set out to acquire second opinions from healers Dorcas Meadowes and Edgar Bones, respectively. 

Mid May Moody ends up in St. Mungo’s due to injury. Unforeseen delay in investigation. Plan of action: 

Further research into

Oliver Daury - interrogation and arrest. 

the Memory modification and who is responsible

Late may Moody and Prewett have a meeting with Dorcas Meadowes, who has experience with memory charms, to get a second opinion on the memory modification, as well as a second witness to Oliver Daury’s transgressions. (thread)

Early June A warranted search through Daury’s home and office provides evidence in the form of files and photographs of several victims, some of which were not yet known. (no thread) 

Mid June An arrest is ordered for Healer Oliver Daury for aiding and abiding, falsifying official documentation and possible DE affiliation.

Oliver Daury was arrested late june by auror Alastor Moody. 

The investigation into the memory modification case will continue separately.
