Shocking.
"I believe the warrant is void and you've been accused of nothing. Regardless... I'd like you to consider helping us draw out the culprit at Hogwarts. We're filling your post with someone who understands the criminal mind, but we'd like you to stay out of sight as the accused to put this... person at ease."
"Why me?" Ethan asked and truly it translated to 'what's in it for me?' because at the end of the day he was still a Slytherin and he needed something offered if he were even going to consider whatever this was.
He eyed the torn warrant and if he'd been the kind to employ or register sarcasm, might have responded with something about Historians being known for understanding the criminal mind.
One thing Historians did know...
"You are using a criminal to catch a criminal?"
An assumption to be sure, but who else truly understood a criminal?
