"I'm not as reconizable by name and face perhaps, at least not like Josh with his constant desire to push his limits with his ilk," he mused, absently letting the quill still in his hand brush under his chin as he thought. " But I've had my fair share of visits down there." Dacs tended to lead him there when they worked together, the hit wizard teaching the young auror a fair set of things. And they were usually not broadcasting they were law enforcement.

"Okay...to be honest, both are plausible, but not without their own precautions and risks." Not that they would be afraid of anything that might happen...this was their livelihood after all...what they were trained to do. "Nudging Peverell, especially at the wrong time, could send ripples that cause more...complications, than our lack of leads. On the other hand, going undercover certainly needs some sort of green light from Emily. As well as some commitment."

He was probably too recognizable on his own, but that was the downside of being an Auror in this office. There was a finite number of them, they did regular rounds, and people came to know them just by sight. Genevieve was lucky to be new and under the radar, but it wouldn't last. "Disguises are easy enough, if we want them. Just a few charms to the contours of your face, some facial hair, a change of clothes. It isn't a deal breaker. If we want."

She didn't know what she wanted yet, but Genevieve was pretty sure she didn't want to sit around and let Healers poke at her any longer. Neither of Simon's scenarios worked well for her - she didn't want to force Peverell's hand when they weren't ready to charge him and she didn't want to set up a giant sting without knowing what they were going after. But maybe they were over-complicating things.

"We could just head down to Knockturn and hang out. Not a specifically undercover operation, but if we're not sitting there radiating Auror vibes, we might overhear something useful. It's essentially just doing our rounds in different clothes. D'you suppose that needs Emily's approval?"
