Because I Can…
Chapter 2: The Investigation
The next day Collin and his brother Dennis were in their workshop when Sebastian came in.
"You guys have some information for me?"
The boys looked up from their desks and smiled
Sebastian had summoned Harry, Ron and Ginny to Harry's office, it being the most secure. Confident they were not being overheard he began to explain what the Creevys had told him.
"Collin said the stuff in the vial is Polyjuice Potion…But it's too old and there's too little of it to determine who the user turned into. The Creevys asked me what was going on but I didn't tell them I told him I was working on something, I figure the less people that know the better off we are."
"You're starting to sound like Moody" Harry remarked
"Well that explains why there was no forced entry…they had to have changed into someone Hermione knew well enough to let in." said Ron
"Ron, she's not stupid. She makes us answer those questions before letting anyone in" explained Ginny
"Some of those answers could have been known by others that know her…or we may have a spy." Said Harry looking suspiciously out the window of the office
"What about the wand?" asked Ron?
"Well Dennis used Prior Incantato and found that the last spell done by that wand was Stupefy. Now there are 2 possibilities; either Hermione tried to stupefy her kidnapper or she dropped her wand in the struggle and her kidnapper used it on her. Either way we are looking at abduction." explained Sebastian
"Right" began Harry looking between Sebastian and Ginny "I think the two of you should go back to the flat and collect anything that she might have been working on incase the kidnapers decide to go back for another look"
Later that afternoon back at Hermione's flat Sebastian and Ginny are gathering parchments and books to take back with them. Ginny wanders into the bedroom and tears start filling up her eyes as she recalls the last time she was in the flat. It was 3 days ago, come to think of it Ginny was probably the last person to see Hermione, and she disappeared that same day. Ginny recalls the event of that morning as she woke up next to Hermione.
"Good morning sweetie" Ginny said
"Hey" replied Hermione as she opened her eyes slightly and smiled at Ginny
"I have to get going soon luv, Harry's expecting me in an hour" Ginny explained as she leaned over and kissed Hermione on the forehead. As she turned to get up Hermione grabbed her arm and pulled her back into a warm embrace and a full kiss on the redhead's lips
"I hate when you leave me" pouted Hermione as she released Ginny
"I promise you when all this rubbish is over we will have the rest of our lives to spend together doing anything you want to do." Smiled Ginny. Her smile made Hermione smile
"Anything I want to do? What about you? What do you want to do?" asked Hermione sitting up and watching Ginny gather up her clothes
"I don't care what I do 'Mione, as long as I'm with you" Ginny purred as she crawled back onto the bed and into the lap of the other girl. Hermione rubbed Ginny's head as Ginny wrapped her arms around Hermione's back and nuzzled into her stomach attempting to go lower.
Hermione looked down at her
"Don't start what you can't finish, it's not fair to get me all worked up then leave and then who knows when I'll see you next."
Hermione disappeared into the shower. Ginny got herself dressed and began to tidy up the flat. Hermione came out of the bathroom wearing a robe and her hair done up in a towel. Ginny came up to her and took a few sniffs into the air.
"You smell great" Ginny smiled
"Thanks" Hermione replied as she walked to the dresser to get her brush. She took the towel out of her hair and tossed it on the back of a chair. Ginny moves behind her and takes the brush from her.
"May I?" she asked as she guided Hermione toward the bed. Not waiting for an answer Ginny positioned Hermione in front of her seated between the redheads' legs.
As Ginny began to brush Hermione's hair she could see her reflection in the bedroom mirror. With every brush stroke Hermione leaned further back into Ginny. Once she was done she set the brush down and began massaging the damp hair with one hand and untying Hermione's robe with the other hand. Ginny began caressing her breasts as her nipples hardened at the soft touch. Hermione started writhing as Ginny slides her hand slowly down to her stomach and beyond. Ginny's hand glided over Hermione's mound which causes her to let out a little gasp and a moan. With small circular motions soon Ginny had one finger in the wetness. The free hand manipulated the other breast. Hermione's breathing grew heavier as her hands gripped the sides of her comforter. Hermione placed a hand over Ginny's for more pressure as she bucked her hips toward Ginny's hand. The added pressure helped greatly and in no time at all Hermione is moaning, writhing, breathing…
Finally gushing her juices onto Ginny's hand with a satisfied sigh
Ginny and Hermione have been together for almost two years. Love was never something they discussed. They were exclusively with each other but with the war and so much uncertainty going on attachments to people were a luxury most could not afford. Ginny has felt more at home around Hermione then with anyone else and decided to Hell with everything, she wanted Hermione to know how much she meant to her…incase something happened.
When they were done and dressed Ginny was pulling on her jacket
"When am I going to see you again?' Hermione asked her
Ginny turned to her "I don't know, but you'd see me more if you came to headquarters"
Hermione rolls her eyes "not this again, Ginny I told you there are too many distractions there for me to concentrate. The Creevys would be asking be to check their findings, Harry hovers over me all the time as does Ron…then there's you, how am I supposed to do any work with you running around?" Hermione walked toward her slowly ginny felt weak just looking at her, she thought to herself how beautiful and graceful the older witch was. Hermione kisses Ginny lightly on the lips which cause Ginny to shudder as if she received an electrical shock.
"I think I love you 'Mione" Ginny sighed bracing herself for Hermione's response
"You THINK? You're not sure?" Hermione said in a very playful tone before planting a very deep kiss on Ginny's still open mouth
"A compelling argument." Ginny confesses in a matter-of-fact way
"I love you too" replied Hermione
"Do you really?" asked Ginny incredulously
"Of course I do…I just didn't want to say it. It might cause more of a distraction… now off with you and don't worry about me I'm fine…." Hermione stated
"and you are a distraction luv…one time I could barley kill a death eater cause I was too busy thinking about how much I love that arse of yours." Ginny grabbed Hermione's arse with both hands. Both women laughed and Ginny walked out the door
"You know what I don't understand" Sebastian started as he walked into the bedroom and saw Ginny crying. He sat down on the bed and pulled her into his arms she grabs him and sobs heavily.
"Ginny I know you two have been together for a long time and I understand how you feel. I was in love with her once myself, but after I found out she wasn't…umm… playing on my team" Sebastian paused and smiled to himself. "I figured who better for her then you. You always went on about how much you liked her, it was so intense and it still is. I may have taken her virginity…but you've always had her heart. We'll find her luv"
Ginny broke her embrace and wiped her eyes. "I hope you're right. Now what don't you understand?"
"I find it odd that all the secret projects she was working on for the Order are still here…nothing's missing" he said exasperated
"I see where you're going" continued Ginny "why take her and not her work if they want to use her against us?"
"Right it makes no sense" agreed Sebastian
"Unless they just wanted her." Ginny said gravely
"That makes even less sense, what good is she without her notes and experiments? No offence" he quickly said
"Oh none taken, I know what you mean. Without her notes and books she's… just Hermione" said Ginny
Ginny stood up and looked under the bed
"Gimme a hand with this"
Sebastian knelt down and the two of them dragged a pensive out from under the bed. The pale bluish grey swirling liquid sloshed around like someone who just disturbed the water in a bathtub.
"We need a container to transport this back we can let that spill everywhere" said Sebastian
"I'll go get something" with that Ginny left the room and came back with vials and bottles of different sizes. She handed a few over to her friend and the two of them set about siphoning the thoughts out of the basin. Once it was empty they had one last look around and placed the pensive and bottles into a trunk they brought with them
"I think that's everything. Let's go" said Ginny
