you are a cop. you're also magical. the two are not unrelated: while wizards are not particularly common, someone's got to make sure that the arm of the law extends also to the supernatural, and that's where you (and your partner?!) come in. whether it's chasing down rogue wizards, making peace between supernatural entities, or interrogating ghosts that have witnessed crime, getting coffee or a pint at the pub after hours, you have your hands full.
just don't make too many wand jokes, keep property damage to a minimum, and don't forget to do the paperwork at the end of the day.

[ Which. Is all the name that she has. It's enough - for her. ]

... [ Without a word, Harry went to his door and opened it up, stepping through to the other side. His threshold wasn't strong; hell, it was practically nonexistent, but there was something there. He turned around on the other side and faced Ivy - he hated doing this, but better safe than sorry. He stared at her quietly - if she really was The Archive, she should understand what he wanted her to do: cross without his invitation, and leave some of her power (however much it may be), at the door.
He even stepped back to give her enough space to do so. ]
LALALA going for AU, rather than rehashing their canon meeting...
