Ok, I skipped 10 years, but there is a reason for that. I really didn't want to talk about how Draco lived for those years. Well I do, but not now. I want to reveal things little by little through flashbacks, because that makes it more thrilling and irritating at the same time.
Chapter 4
It has been ten years since Draco had been exiled from the magical world. Ten long years of suffering on Harry's part. Harry had believed that once Draco was gone, he would be able to start a new life and be happy with Ginny, but that didn't go as he expected it. After Draco was gone, Harry and Ginny had been dating for two years, then they married for three years but the relationship ended when Ginny cheated on him with Dean Tomas, her ex boyfriend.
Ginny had told harry that their marriage had not gone anywhere. She wanted kids but he wasn't there with her at home. In fact, he was rarely at home, he spends most of his time working and then went out to drink and came home around 3 o'clock every morning. Ginny would always lecture him about it, but Harry learned to ignore it. When Ginny no longer told him anything, he was happy; but then he found his wife snogging his friend behind his back. He demanded to have a divorce for cheating on him, for being betrayed once more. Ginny complied with no problem. Ginny knew that deep down, Harry was still in love with Draco, and that Harry had used her in order to forger the git; but that didn't happen. Ginny had hoped that one day harry would be hers, but that also didn't happen. Ginny had no problem screaming this to Harry's face. Harry of course, didn't listen.
After his failed marriage, he began dating once more. He had dated about eleven more girls; each which he found a flaw to. They weren't blond enough, not pale enough, and not short enough; all in all, they were just not Draco. Most of the girls he broke up with were because they kept a secret from him, he considered it to be an act of betrayal on their part. After nine years, Harry realized that as much as he hated to admit it, he was still in love with the git.
All that year he had decided to drown his new found realization with work, because last time he did it with alcohol, let's just say it went really bad. Which brings us to the current situation; the ministry of magic was about to name 28 year old Elena Turrell as the new and youngest minister of magic. She was more qualifying that anyone in the ministry. She was fair in her judgments, and wasn't corrupt. She was beautiful and smart. She had cracked some of the most complicated cases without a sweat. She did her research well and made sure to have complete evidence when she put someone to Askaban. She didn't want to do the mistake that was done 26 years ago, when Sirius Black was put in there for lack of investigation and evidence.
Harry was happy that for once, someone who was actually qualifies and good would be the new minister of magic. He was having a good day, something that he hadn't had in a long time. Of course, just like good things that came his way had to come to an end when he saw Angela, Draco's lawyer come up and talk to Elena. This really pissed off Harry. Even after ten years, Angela was still trying to prove Draco's supposed innocence. They were having a civil conversation, Angela explaining how her last case was a success. Elena seemed to enjoy it, she missed being able to snoop around to get information so an innocent person could be saved. Even if Elena was 28 years old, she looked very young. She was married and had two sons, she wanted at least one girl so her daughter could follow her footsteps (to her husband's relief) they didn't have one, (marlin knows how her husband take a mini Elena, he loves her and all but she is a handful and two would be a disaster) she was content with her small little family.
Angela was also married, but she had one son and two twin girls, much to her pleasure. Her husband had supported her in her obsession in finding proof of Draco's innocence. He even went out and question people if it help his wife. He was really put to work during Angela's two pregnancies. Poor bugger, she sent him out for information and then asked him to home back home soon enough because she had a craving. The man had no time to sleep. From one place to the other, he had to go in order to make his wife happy.
Harry was always in a bad mood when he saw Angela. He wished for her to stop searching for what he also craved. But he knows the truth. That day while he was being tortured by three future death eaters, Draco was one of them. He saw her and as much as he wished it was not true, his eyes didn't lie. He knew that there was no poly juice involved. Every time he saw Angela, those same wounds would open again.
When Harry walked towards the two ladies, he heard Angela speaking about a close case she had. She went on explaining how there were no real evidence to "condemn" her client. Angela went on and explained how she just knew he client was innocent but in ten years she wasn't able to find enough evidence to find her innocence. At this, Harry noticed Elena's interest on the case, and he seemed to get mad.
As the two women walked away he cursed Draco for ruining his day. He knew for sure that the case they were discussing was Draco's closed case. That was the only closed case Angela had.
The next day, when Harry went to Elena's office, he found Angela there with her discussing about opening up a case and helping out to find evidence.
"What! You are going to open up a case for a criminal. Draco committed the crime, that was proved years ago." Harry stormed into the office and slammed his fist on top of Elena's desk.
Elena looked at Harry with a smile on her face. "I was not present on the trial so I don't know if what you say is true. Ten years ago I was very interested in this case but didn't have the chance to participate. If what you say is true, you should have no problem my investigation taking place. If Draco truly is guilty than you can be assured that the sentence will continue, I am but a fair women. But if there is someone that believes in their innocence then it is my job to bring it to light. Angela and Draco's parents still do believe in his innocence and I must put an end to their confusion. I think it is about time they find truth, no? As I said, if you are sure of his guiltiness, then you don't have to worry; just stay out of my way. Now Mister Potter, what I decide to do in my free time is up to me and not you, so if I want to do this I will, do you understand!" Elena was now raging with fire, Harry could see that. How could Potter come and tell her what to do.
Deciding that is was impossible to reason with the women, he turned around and made his leave. Only when he was half way out the door did he speak his final words to the older women in an emotionless tone. "Do what you like, but remember, this case was solved long ago. No matter how much we all wish it were not true, that's not the reality. You're just wasting your time" and with that, Harry disappeared from their sights.
"Well that went better than I thought it would have" Angela Kidd. "What do you mean?" Elena asked with an arched eyebrow towards Angela, curiosity written all over her face. "Well, before Potter would have gone on a rampage if anyone just brought up Draco malfoy, he seems to be able to control his emotions. I just hope he gets better at it for when he meets Draco face to face, of course that is until we prof her innocence." Angela explained. At this, Elena's eyes shoot wide open; there was something in what Angela just said that caught her attention. She was sure that Angela didn't realize it herself.
Elena had been watching Angela carefully; it was always so interesting how Angela described Draco malfoy. With today, some of her suspicion was confirmed. One of the reasons why Elena was so interested was because she knew that Angela was hiding something, something that Angela was not allowed to disclosure for the contract between client and lawyer.
Elena was no stupid women, in fact, she was very intelligent. She made Hermione Weasley seem like a two year old compared to her. It didn't go unnoticed by Elena that Angela referred to Draco as a "her". Every time they spoke about the young malfoy heir, Angela was always careful enough not to indicate a gender when speaking about Draco. In fact, Angela never used words like he, "he" when speaking about Draco. Angela would simple call Draco as, well Draco. Conversations would seem odd. Things were now getting interesting for her, and she was now looking forward to revealing the whole truth.
Well, that is it for this chapter. After this, the investigation will commence and many things will be revealed. Hope you like it, because my brain wants to die. I have a hard time putting what is in my head onto paper, so let's see how it goes. I have many notes in my notebook, full of ideas I want to try.
I would like to say thanks to all the reviews I received. When I was reading them, I went back to my story and did find things missing which is weird because what I was missing was one of the first things I had decided on.
Ok, well here is a little explanation. There is a certain Malfoy spell, a lot like the glamor spell. What is does is that it give Draco the appearance of a boy, but if you touch her, let's just say you can feel the difference But that is ok, I was planning on making a chapter were Harry or Draco remembering how Harry found out the truth about her gender, the spell included. Like I said in the first chapter, blood female Malfoysare killed before and when they are born. I also noticed that no one really does touch Malfoy in the books, not even his friends.
Also, I wanted Harry to seem like an idiot. Like Sakura Lisel, there were no reasons for him to believe it was her. I think that is going to make the revelation much better and Harry would feel worse.
I plan on making this story very long, so there will be many chapters. Thank you for reading, I appreciate the reviews, I really do, considering this is my first story. I appreciate all types of a reviews.
