Deal with the Devil.
"I'm telling you Draco, she's the only one who can help" Blaise said for the third time already.
"I'm not going to asked Granger for help, besides she's thief" Draco looked at his best friend "how can I know she won't take it to herself?"
Blaise sighed "she doesn't need it, you know the only thing she stoles is information, from ministry and then spreads it, showing all loopholes that are out there"
Draco frowned" okay, but how can I contact her? She's not very civil, she's like a Devil, and no one knows where she lives"
Blaise shrugged "I've heard that if you look for her, she comes to you on her own"
"didn't work with the Aurors department"
"because it's run by Weasley"
Draco frowned "I always thought it was Potter leading that freak show"
Blaise shook his head laughing " no Draco… it's Weasley… Potter retired few years ago, soon after Granger started her works"
Draco looked at Blaise "what else have I missed while being away?"
"Well as you can guess Granger and Weasley are off, Astoria is Krum's new girlfriend, Pansy got pregnant from muggle, I'm engaged with Daphne, Potter quit his job and now works at Hogwarts. The ghost of Snape tortures first years"
Draco laughed and shook his head "female gossip, now who's the minister?"
"It's Gawain Robards, Kingsley Shacklebolt retired the moment Granger started to bring things up"
Draco smirked "auch… poor ministry"
Blaise laughed "you can't even imagine what mess it going on there"
Draco frowned and rose from his chair "Did you hear that?"
Blaise frowned as well "of course not?"
"Someone's out in the hallway…"
"Broke the wards?"
"No… nor entered trough floo" Draco took out his wand slowly heading towards the large wooden door.
Blaise took out his own wand following him "maybe it's Binky?"
"Binky is at New York Packing up my things"
Blaise nodded quietly.
Draco reached for the doorknob to open the door, when a smooth and sexy well known voice behind them spoke up.
"I heard you were looking for me?" It was no one else than Hermione Granger laying lazy on his couch, wearing long black gown with deep cut in front, showing off her curves, there was a glass of champagne in her hand.
Draco turned around as fast as he could, pointing his wand at her "how… wha…"
Blaise lowered his wand and took a seat "that was fast"
Draco frowned "How did you got in my house?"
Hermione smiled softly, she was calm "I have very excellent knowledge of all kind of magic, Mr. Malfoy, now please sit down and tell he about the ring"
Draco looked shocked at her "how…"
Blaise grinned watching "it's family's engagement ring, someone had stole it from Draco"
Hermione raised her brow "didn't knew you two were such kind of friends"
Draco and Blaise both choked looking shocked.
"We're… not.. gay… we're not a couple, he's just my best friend, like you and Pothead"
Hermione rolled her eyes "Okay, give me the looks of ring, and when was the last time you've seen it"
Draco sat down thinking "Last Christmas, when I put it in the painting" he said pointing to old family portrait with female wearing large silver with deep green emeralds ring.
"Your grandfather's mother" she said simply getting up and walking over to the painting "Why it's muggle?"
"What?"
"The painting it's muggle, it's not moving"
"ouh… Well it's used as hiding place for very valuable family jewels."Draco explained
Hermione smirked "can't see your dick there"
Blaise burst out laughing hard, but said nothing, knowing his friend could explode any moment.
Draco turned red, but said nothing about it "can you find it?"
Hermione nodded sipping her champagne "I'll get on it next week, I'm busy right now, I'll bring contract over then" she said and just disappeared in thin air.
