A/N: This is the drabble I submitted for March in the dmhg challenge on Livejournal. I didn't place but I had a lot of fun doing it. I've decided to do it every month indefinately. I don't know how many chapters this will have. I will post once a month to this as long as I am partcipating in the monthly challenge. There is a different prompt each month. I rated this story M just in case. I'm sure that each drabble won't be an 'M' rating but I have to rate the series accordingly. Each post will have its own individual rating as well. Now that I've drabbled on forever, please enjoy.

Title: Echoes from the Past
Rating: M
Warnings: implied violence, minor character death
prompt: murder
Blood.
It was everywhere in the room, glowing eerily in the darkened space. It glared accusingly from the walls, an angry bright green telling the tale violence.
Hermione swallowed heavily. Someone had been murdered here. The sheer amount of blood confirmed that Astoria was dead. She hadn't merely disappeared as Malfoy had claimed.
She closed her eyes despairingly. She cursed herself for bringing Muggle technology to the MLE. She felt his presence behind her before she saw him.
"Why?" she whispered brokenly. "Why did you kill your wife, Draco?"
"I did it for us and for our future," he confessed.
End Note: In my head, I pictured Hermione as a CSI using luminol to acquire evidence. I've thought about expanding this into a chaptered story if there was enough interest. That is what makes these so much fun. Please review, let me know what you think. I'll see you lovelies next month.
