And you know what?" he said, moving over and hugging her as she buried her face in her hands, "I'll help you do it. It's not like I have anything else to do anyways." He pulled back from the hug, placing his hands firmly on her shoulders. "What do you say?"
"Thank you," said Lights. She smiled at Ethan gratefully. "I don't know how we'll do it, though. We don't know anything about the murderer except that they were a witch or wizard, because the cut was so exact it had to have been made by a Severing Charm." Lights frowned. "If my dad was still alive, I would have suspected him, but other than that ..." She was silent for a moment. "This is actually why I joined Magical Law Enforcement," she admitted softly. "I wanted to be an Auror, so I'd have access to the murder file on Mum's death. Unfortunately, that didn't happen." Lights was starting to feel her great mood slipping away, so she grinned at Ethan. "Hey, I've got to go. Want to meet after work, at the Muggle pizza parlour outside or something? The pizza is awesome!"
