In The Dead Of Night (Black Army)

[Deleted]

Burke sat in a study inside the headquarters, reading. It was after two in the morning, almost three. He had closed his shop early that night and apparrated there. He had come across a strange item provided to him by one of his sources. He wanted to find out more about it, an Amulet said to belong to a pharoah's court magician who was in reality an actual wizard and not some silly Muggle who knew a few tricks to deceive his master into thinking he possessed magic. The amulet had survived for thousands of years and still looked as magnificent as it once did. Dathan knew it was powerful. He just needed to know what it could do and how powerful it was. And the banned books at the headquarters could potentially aid him.

So he sat and read, watching occasionally to see if someone was coming. Outside of a visit from the Dark Lady, he hoped not to be disturbed at that hour.
