I've always been confused by the fact that Rookwood was sent to Azkaban. And not thrown out of the veil in accordance with the laws of the most secret department of the Ministry. Do you remember any movie about the hero of a Secret Service officer? James Bond? G.I.Joe, at least the "fight club" rule or... Remember the "Godfather"? Have you guessed the parallels? Betrayal = death. So how did Rookwood end up on trial? and went to jail?Why didn't his own people, the Unspeakable, punish this guy according to their own laws? I doubt that an open trial is being held against traitors of secret agencies.
The world of Harry Potter (original) never made much sense, they have potions of truth but they don't use it on defendants and witnesses in inquiries and trials, a teenager can go to jail in Azkaban for accidentally using a spell in front of a muggle but a killer who hunts and kills more than 20 muggles can escape conviction simply by saying he was being "controlled"!
One criticism I have (not against the author of the fan fic but against the original author of Harry Potter) why wizards don't build and live in their own wizarding towns or condominiums? What would be the logic of living constantly worried about hiding when it's so much easier to build a walled condominium exclusively for magicians? Since even pure-blood wizards who are disgusted by Muggles live next to them, it just doesn't make sense! Even if a Muggle-born or mixed-blood does not have a constant need to be around Muggle relatives, it would suffice to buy a car and visit relatives using normal methods every now and then. Thanks for the chapter!
