Chapter One
'When people go to work, they shouldn't have to leave their hearts at home.' Betty Bender
Ron tapped his pen against the desk restlessly. Where the hell was their head of department when they wanted him? God, the man always picked the wrong time to be late. Haley looked over at him and rolled her eyes. "He'll be here soon Ron, stop fidgeting." She told him quietly. Ron made a face before he looked around the room of WWS agents. These people were some of the most highly trained wizards and witches. They not only worked in England but all over the world. The room which they currently resided in was small and only contained eight witches and wizards including him. Ron also knew everyone of them personally.
He sighed again and looked down at his review of his previous case. He had been the leader and personally thought he had handled it fairly well. The case had been about rouge hunters that gave innocent people potions. This had turned them into werewolves not only during the full moon, but also on every night that the moon was out. Then they would let the wild werewolves lose on unsuspecting towns and villages before robbing all precious items and money from the damaged place. They had controlled the werewolves with a curse much like that of the Imperious. Haley and Jessie Dabney were the two undercover agents in the case.
Just then the door opened and he looked up as three people walked in. He recognized only one them, the head of the department, Augustan Morlat, the head of the WWS agents in England. The other was a brunette with deep brown eyes and oozed of strength and that last was a blond man. Ron paused for a moment. Shit, he knew that hair and those unmistakable gray eyes.
"Hello agents, glad to see that you were all able to make it on time today," Augustan said looking pointedly at Jessie and her usual partner Michel Welaken. "Before we start on today's case Ron can I get the last case file please?" he asked holding out his hand for the file which Ron had. Ron gave him the file, and with a nod the director continued to speak. "Today we start a new case. Which is far more serious then the last case we took on." He turned to the two men that were standing behind him and nodded toward the seats on either side. Draco sat on Haley's side while the other man sat beside Ron. "If you would take a seat gentlemen and we can start this incredibly fascinating meeting. This case will be dealing with things overseas. There will be four people that will be going undercover in Canada. Four people will be equipment and details, the other two operation leaders. I am changing the partners for this case, to better facilitate the operation.
"Before that I want you to meet two people that will be joining us for the operation, this is Mr. Draco Malfoy and Mr. Chris Weston. Mr. Weston is stationed in Australia and Mr. Malfoy is stationed in Canadian WWS. While Mr. Weston will run most of the operation Mr. Malfoy will be on the field undercover with his partner.
"The case name is DSEXR27. This might be one of the prime cases we will accept. The man we are trying to put behind bars is Maichi Thomas. He is a slave import and exporter. If that is not bad enough, his targets are only women. The man himself hates women beyond belief and wants to attempt to make them all into slaves.
"A large amount of these slaves give the appearance to be squibs and witches put into restraints. We need to start this case without delay for if we linger we might start to lose more witches and squibs, even just ordinary women. Is there any one that would like to back out, please do so now?" He said pointedly looking at the four women in the room. It was a standard procedure that they did at the beginning of each case. All of the women looked back at him without hesitance. He nodded and continued.
"So I will assign partners and team operators and then you can get started. Mr. Welaken and Ms. Higurasi will be our weapons, machine, and transportation. Ms. Dabney and Mr. Parson you will be communication and technology. Ms. Gorten you and Mr. Weston will be our team operators. Mr. Hurst and Ms. Patil will be going under cover in the camps. Mr. Hurst you will be going as a bodyguard for Ms. Patil; however, don't hesitate to do what is asked of you. You know the limits though, I'm sure you'll do fine. Lastly Mr. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy, you two will be going as partners. You will go as businessmen interested in Maichi's business. And when I mean partners I'm sure you understand." He said looking at them pointedly.
Ron looked confounded for a minute as he looked across at Malfoy before he remembered what Augustan had said regarding Maichi detest of all women. He flushed a deep red as he realized. He wanted to protest and say he wouldn't do it; but he really couldn't't. After all he did not want to seem like a child throwing a tantrum. He just nodded leisurely and skillfully avoided Malfoy's gaze on him.
"Good then I'll leave you all with a file. Everyone will be flooed over to Canada first thing Friday morning. Is there any questions?" he asked. The WWS only nodded their understanding and with that, Augustan Morlat turned and left. There was a peace that settled over everyone and no one appeared to have the desire to break it.
After a period of time Chris Weston broke the silence. "We should get started since we only have four days to get ready. Therefore we should get up to date on what is going on so far," he said before handing everyone a file. "This might take a while so why don't we all get comfortable?"
Everyone started flipping through his or her files. Ron looked at their destination and raised an eyebrow. He turned over to the next page and paused. "Wait, it says here that I will be under cover as a Malfoy. How does that work?" Ron looked toward Weston and Malfoy in bafflement.
"Yes, about that," Weston began, pausing as if unsure how to continue. "For the duration of the case you two will be… married." There was another deafening stillness. Ron looked over at Malfoy, his face totally neutral before he nodded. "Malfoy's father had connections with Thomas before the fall of the Dark Lord. Since no information was given out on Draco's allegiances we are hoping we can work off that. Ron I'm sure they know you as a Weasley, however it is necessary for you to go in and not the others. You have more pureblood knowledge in the area. You will just have to figure out some way to make sure that they don't suspect you." Ron nodded and they continued with their conference.
It wasn't until two and half-hours later did they get out of the boardroom. Ron stretched out and sighed. He had missed the family luncheon that they had every year for his father's birthday. Another missed get-together, another lie to make up. He got up to go and meet gray eyes. The other man stood there quietly. "If you're not too busy we can go get the certificates and all the stuff now." It was the first time he had spoken since he had entered the room and Ron was surprised how much deeper and softer the voice sounded. It was nothing like how his voice had been a couple years ago.
Ron inclined his head and motioned for Malfoy to lead the way. He thought about how insane this case was already turning out to be. The redhead shook his head. How long was he going to have to be 'married' to Mr. Draco Malfoy because sometimes cases took years? Ron quivered at that thought. "We should go directly to Ugusak, he can make them quicker and less chance of others finding out it's not an original."
Malfoy nodded and headed toward the official's office. As soon as they walked into the office, Ron felt a blanket of doom cover him. He just knew this case was beyond anything he may have encountered from the previous seven years of his work in the WWS.
