The Events Unfold
January 6, 2010
Waitress Bethan Ellis is hoping for a break in her usual routine when Cursebreaker Raizel Cohen stops into the Three Broomsticks for a quiet lunch -- but the day turns out to be anything but routine or quiet when a mysterious visitor delivers a strange music box to a customer at the bar. When the box is opened, a strange creature escapes and attacks the people present. An old man dies, Aurors arrive, and Raizel and Bethan are both left facing the start of a decades-old mystery.
But he hadn't just died, she realized as she set the bottle down and angled her head to peer at the old man's body over the counter of the bar. He had been killed. There had been that strange hooded figure, who had apparated away as soon as he'd spoken to the man; as soon as he'd realized that anyone else had been watching. And then the dybbuk had been released. A chill ran down Raizel's spine, and she shot a glance back toward the door of the tavern. But no one was there now; whoever had brought the dybbuk to the old wizard, it seemed that his flight had been genuine.
After being questioned by the Aurors, Raizel Cohen is finally allowed to leave -- and she goes back to Gringotts with the strange music box that she quietly took from the Three Broomsticks. Alone in her office, she examines it for more clues.
January 8, 2010
War Hero Found Dead in Hogsmeade as The Daily Prophet reports on Hector Harrison's death.
For many, Harrison's name might be lost to history. For the last decade or so, Harrison lived a life of obscurity mainly consisting of frequent visits to his local pub. But for those more versed in the dark times of Gellert Grindelwald's reign of terror, Harrison's is a name synonymous with a war hero, a warlock of the highest esteem. As a young wizard, Harrison infiltrated Grindelwald's followers and became instrumental in the events that ultimately lead to his defeat.
After reading about Harrison's death in the Prophet, his old school friend Xiomara Hooch immediately sets off to find the young barmaid who witnessed his last minutes in order to get answers. Bethan recounts the tale and reveals to Hooch that it was no Dementor (as the Prophet told), but rather a dybbuk. And that there was a mysterious man at the scene.

January 15, 2010
Even after talking to Bethan, Madam Hooch can't forget her old schoolmate's death. She summons together a coven of Sybill Trelawney and Minerva McGonagall to discuss what happened.
Meanwhile...professional thief and bounty hunter Shamera Harvey breaks into a house in Poland to steal a ring that allegedly belonged to Gellert Grindelwald, but she gets more than she bargained for when she runs into Aviad Cohen.
- A Cautionary Tale with Shamera Harvey and Aviad Cohen
Shamera felt more of a sense of urgency to find the artifact she needed. After gaining access to the display room, she searched for what she came for. That object was a ring. Previously regarded as just an old belonging to Grindelwald, recently they (being her extended family) had revealed that it had information regarding a weapon of some sort that had been developed by Grindelwald himself.
January 16, 2010
Raizel Cohen hasn't been able to let Harrison's death go. She takes her research into the mysterious numbers engraved on the bottom of the music box to Alohomocha, where she meets fellow history enthusiast Jacoba Schlagenweit. But it turns out that Jacoba has more of a tie to Harrison's past than either woman would have suspected, when they discover a Schlagenweit relative -- whom Jacoba had always assumed was a Muggle -- present in a photo showing Grindelwald supporters.
Three Miles Up Currahee with Raizel Cohen and Jacoba Schlagenweit
January 23, 2010
It's been several weeks since the incident in the Three Broomsticks, and the Aurors have decided to classify Harrison's death as a heart attack. Still convinced there must be something more to it, Raizel returns to the pub in order to ask Bethan to help her investigate on their own. They agree to attend the HHUUG Benefit in honor of Harrison together.
Flash and Thunder with Raizel Cohen and Bethan Ellis
“They can't just blow this off! It wouldn't be right! This is the Three Broomsticks, not some back alleyway somewhere! There could have been kids in here, isn't it? And don't say there weren't, like, cause that's not the point,” she huffed, growing cross at the very idea that the aurors might not be doing what she was convinced was their job. Raizel didn't even need to do the riling up for her – Beth was fully capable of getting her own knickers in a twist.
January 26, 2010
Meanwhile, at the British Museum of Wizarding History, a late-night visit turns into something more when the son of an important diplomat attempts to steal a Grindelwald-era artifact from a display case.
January 29, 2010
The investigation into Harrison's death is about to be closed, but Auror Harry Potter can't believe that it was only a heart attack. He decides to visit Raizel Cohen at Gringotts to question her one last time in hopes of discovering something new.
Harry's visit is enough to unsettle Raizel. After the Auror leaves, she takes the music box to Morgana Hollingbury's shop in hopes that the former artifact thief will be able to help her learn more about it.
