"You've got to be kidding?" Ginny asked laughing along with Blaise who was laughing so hard he was in danger of falling off the counter.

"Its actually quite logical…"

"Its kinky is what it is." Blaise interrupted Draco, setting Ginny off laughing once more. Eris stormed out of the room, cursing in French.

"I think you've upset her Blaise." Draco pointed out moments before Blaise ran out the room after her.

"This is some sort of joke right?"

"Actually Gin it makes a lot of sense, Being named headmaster Severus would naturally be expected to pick Slytherin's as head boy and girl. And as far as the other teachers are concerned myself and Eris are neutral choices, good grades, clean record…"

"When you put it like that Theo, it does make sense…it's still kinky though."

"It's a whole load of kinky."


"You think Eris' will come out of her room anytime soon?" Ginny asked walking along the beach next to Draco,

"Yeah, I think she's in shock really." The pair walked along is silence for a while before Draco stopped them, "I missed you Gin."

"Yeah? I missed you too." Draco slipped his hand into hers as the started walking again.

"What have you been doing?" Ginny asked after several moments of lingering silence,

"I've been on assignment…"

"Doing?"

"I'm not a liberty to say." Ginny recoiled slightly at Draco's harsh tone, she retreated into her mind wondering what she had done to be confronted with such hostility, and she hadn't seen him for months.

"Why are you pissed at me?" She blurted out suddenly taking both herself and Draco by surprise.

"I'm not…"

"Yes you are! You're being all distance and curt with me." Ginny felt her voice raising and a flush forming on her face.

"There are just things I cannot tell you Ginny."

"Well you could be a little nicer to me." Draco wrapped his arms around Ginny pulling her into him; tipping her head up he placed a soft kiss on her lips,

"I'm sorry, things just got a little heated with Eris this morning and it's soured my mood slightly."

"You two fight all the time, why is this any different?" Draco shrugged and turned to walk back to the house.

"Its just different."


The rest of the afternoon past into the night uneventfully, with Ginny and Draco locked away in the bedroom and with Blaise and Theo no-where to be found Eris found herself sat out on her balcony, legs thrown up on the railing enjoying the crisp summer air.

"You look peaceful." Eris tilted her head back and smiled at Draco,

"Shouldn't you be reacquainting your self with Ginny?"

"She's asleep, it's nearly midnight."

"Huh." Eris turned her back to Draco and closed her eyes, leaning against the railing Draco sighed and ran a hair though his crumpled hair,

"You know this isn't my fault. Any of it." Draco looked over to Eris, "I didn't know he'd stop me from going back…"

"That's not why I'm annoyed Draco." Eris' voice was quite and calm, Draco groaned and sank to the floor,

"I'm not happy either, but what can I do? We are at war Eris, I'm not in a place where I can argue with him."

"She's too young."

"She's barely a year younger than us…"

"But we where born into this Draco, our whole life has been setting up for this. Be it backing this madman or another."

"You don't trust him do you?" Draco looked up at Eris, who was nervously playing with her hair,

"No. I don't trust him at all. If he wanted her, there are simpler ways he could have got her. He's grooming her for something…" Draco drew in a sharp breath as Eris trailed off.

"You're being paranoid Eris."

"We'll see."
