04. INTERVIEW F. SELLAPHIX by R. ALMASY, 4 NOV 2011

RA: For the record, anything you say in response to my questions can and will be used in the investigation of this crime. You can choose not to answer... although that may or may not be incriminating in itself. So. Where were you yesterday, the third of November, between the hours of one and two in the morning?

FS: Are you joking? Really. Did you really just advise me of my rights? Come on. What are you doing? You're not a real Auror.

RA: That's... correct. I am an auror-in-training, and I've been instructed to question you for our investigation. I'm doing my job. You're not exactly Lawrence Musgrave, you know. Did you want a fully trained auror knocking at the door? I can tell them you didn't want to speak to me because I hexed your cock off.

FS: I bloody knew you weren't sorry! Do you know how much shit I've taken because of what

?: Merlin's Pizza!

FS: Shut up! Just sh- What am I even supposed to have stolen? I've never stolen anything in my life. Shit, look, don't write that down. Everyone has stolen something - I was a kid, it was ages ago. Nothing, just some shite down the corner shop. This is stupid. My cock is fine for the record, by the way. Perfectly functional. Ask Virgil - don't ask Virgil. Not what I meant. Nothing happened. He just asked - Don't write that down, either. Don't - alright. Well, shit.

RA: Right, so, your turn to shut up. Nobody said you were a suspect, you're just being questioned as a person of interest. Some of the papers stolen from Pilpher and Stride yesterday were relevant to Sellaphix Apothecary.

-- Transcription Paused ---

RA: An interruption to questioning, for personal reasons, took place at approximately 1310 hours and resumes now at 1314 hours. I'll repeat the question. Where were you between the hours of one and two in the morning yesterday, November third?

FS: Here. Sleeping. Alone. But, what papers?

RA: The papers were relevant to a private investigation instigated a few years ago. I can't disclose any more than that. Have you ever met or seen Foy Pilpher or Guiseppe Stride? Or maybe you've heard of their names before? Heard your mum mention them?

FS: She didn't have anything to with this. I don't know. I don't recognize them. That it?

RA: No. I need to see your wand to verify your most recently performed spell. Unless you'd rather not?

FS: No! No. And I don't think you can make me. I'm not a suspect. So no, I would rather not.

RA: That's too bad because you're legally obliged to, as a person of interest in this investigation. And I have authorisation to do this, by the way, even if I'm not a real auror, as you so nicely put it. I am going to quickly use a reverse spell to examine the last spell you have cast. Prior incanto. The last spell cast by Figaro Sellaphix's wand, a 12 inch maple, was Specialis Revelio. Unless you have anything further to add, I think we can end this interview now. Thank you for your cooperation.
