Chapter 7
It has been two days since Draco and Hermione' wedding and the students were coming back from holiday. You found Hermione, Harry, Ginny sitting together at the Gryffindor table while Draco sat at the Slytherin table. The other student were piling into the great hall and heading to their house tables. Ron went to sit with Harry and was surprised to still see Hermione. You see he was the one that sent the poisonous gift. Pansy had sent all the ingredients and potion book that the gas. He was tired of being ignored by Harry and Hermione and his own sister. He figured that if he got rid of the person that took Harry away from him then he could have him back as a friend. But before anyone could see his surprised look he continued down the table where he has been sitting at since the beginning of the first term.
He looked to Pansy to see that she had seen that Hermione was still alive. Pansy was scowling but continued to eat her meal. What the two didn't know was that their looks were seen by none other than Theodore Nott. He was wondering what they had did or was expecting to have seen but he vowed to find out.
Later that night an alarm went off on Theo's wand meaning that Pansy was around the Weasel, so he got up and dressed and went to where they were at. He pulled out his video camera and started recording them.
"I thought you sent her the gift, did you not?" said an angry Pansy.
"Of course I did. Why do you think I was surprised at seeing her still alive. Did you make the potion right or did you miss up?" replied and equally pissed Ron.
"The potion was perfect. You were there when I brewed it, you read the instructions to me. Damn it why can't that mudblood just die. She's like a fucking cat with nine lives." Yelled Pansy.
"I don't know but we can't do nothing now. But let's forget about it right now I missed you for this past two days. Come here I need you." Replied Ron pulling Pansy into a kiss.
The two lost themselves in each other and Theo recorded the whole thing. An hour later found Theo in his room storing the recent tape in the box. He vowed to talk to Draco tomorrow; he needed to know what had happened during the break. He went to sleep slightly worried now that he overheard Pansy and Ron's conversation.
The next morning Theo pulled Draco to an abandoned room.
"Draco what happened during Break?" asked Theo.
"What do you mean Theo?" asked Draco.
"I overheard the Weasel and Pansy taking about a present? So what happened?" replied Theo.
"What all did they say Theo and you better tell me the whole thing?" replied a pissed Draco.
"Well they were saying about that the mudblood should be dead but she was still alive. And then they argued about the potion not being made right and blaming each other. Now tell me what happened.
So Draco had told him what had happened except about the wedding and that he was married now. The two left the room, Draco was pissed to learn that the Weasel and Pansy were the reason that Hermione almost died. He went to class vowing to exact revenge on them after graduation.
Severus had saw Draco' scowl and promised to have a talk with him. But for now he had classes to teach.
It was now the last class of the day and it just happened to be potions for the 7th year Gryffindor and Slytherin.
The hour passed and the bell just rang the end of class and Severus asked Draco to stay back. With a nod towards Hermione, Draco went to Severus.
"Yes Uncle Sev?" asked Draco.
"I was just wondering why you were scowling after talking to Mr. Nott?" replied Severus.
"I can't tell you right now but I promise I will when I can. Let's just say I know who had sent Hermione the Poisonous gift and I plan to enact revenge on them." Replied Draco while leaving the room on the last part of his sentence.
Severus was surprised and angry. He was thinking that Theo was the person to send Hermione the gift and started to formulate and plan to corner him to get the truth before enacting his own revenge. Little did he know that Theo was not the person but the informer.
Later that night Severus went into the Slytherin dorms to Theo's room and once inside casted a binding spell on Theo. Theo woke up startled and slightly afraid upon seeing the dark look on his head of house' face.
"Now Mr. Nott you are going to answer my question on your own or we will do it my way." Replied an enraged Severus.
"I will answer your questions sir" replied Theo.
"Good choice Mr. Nott. Now what do you know about a poisonous gift? Hmm?" said Severus.
"Sir I have been paid by Draco to follow Pansy and get evidence on her so he can present it to his parent to get out of marring her." Replied Theo.
To say that Severus was shocked would be an understatement. He decided to release the spell and signaled Theo to continue.
"I overheard Pansy and the Weasel talking about a gift and potion. I pulled Draco away to ask him about what happened during the break. He told me everything that happened." Replied Theo.
Before he slip up and say something he shouldn't he asked "Mr. Nott do you mind if I used Legilimency on you of your conversation with Draco."
"Yes sir you may" replied Theo giving Severus a nod signaling he was ready. Severus looked at the memory and then pulled out of Theo's head.
"Thank you Mr. Nott. And I apologize for binding you and threatening you. You see Draco is like a son to me, I am his godfather and I thought you were trying to hurt him in some way. Continue with your spying and if you ever need an alibi come to me." Replied Severus. With a nod he left the dorm to his chambers to floo Albus.
"Severus what's wrong?" asked a worried Albus upon seeing Severus murderous look.
"I just found out some information that you would like to hear. But the problem is we can't do anything about it due to the fact it will ruin someone else's plans." Replied Severus. He told Albus what he had learned and the two agreed to keep it to themselves until the right time.
For the rest of the night the two had drunk a bottle and a half bottles of Fire Whiskey. They talked about life and the students until they decided to head to bed.
