    Summary

    Alright, newbie, this is what we know.
    Tiberius Nott invited seven dinner guests into his home the night of August 15th, but he was murdered before dessert could be served. Among the guests are three Ministry employees, two of our own aurors, a handful of war heroes, and his one and only son.

    Interestingly enough, everyone invited that night had a motive to kill him, and despite cooling off in the DMLE holding cells, they’re not cooperating.

    It's up to you to figure out who did it, Auror Montgomery.
    Up to the challenge?
    -N. Tonks

    OR this started as a parody of the movie Clue and went a little bit off the rails. Mostly follows the investigation and interviews into what happened that night, with several flashbacks as information is revealed.

    Everyone has a motive. Everyone has secrets.
    But just remember: the only murderers in the house are the guests.

    Summary

    Why was Malfoy in Marrakesh? In the very week the Ministry had chosen for her business trip? It had to be coincidence. Or maybe kismet. Which in the Islamic belief meant something like divine dispensation or predestined fate. But in relation to Malfoy and her, that didn't make much sense. And it was bollocks anyway.

    Summary

    Far in the east, deep in the desert, a king once erected a vast garden of greenery for his beloved queen. She was homesick, longing for some time or place far, far away, with rolling green hills and wet, humid summers.

    Later, much, much later, historians would say it couldn’t be real. That it couldn’t be more than a myth, or poetry. The architecture was too advanced for the time. The irrigation systems were state of the art. And the beauty of it—exquisite, the poets said—was far too good to be true.

    Hermione knows better. She knows the hanging gardens of Babylon very well did exist. She knows this because she knows magic. She knows this because she was there.
