Chapter 26

Harry Potter was a halfblood, but people forgot that he had grown up with muggles. He stared at the wand in his hand as he waited for the clock to strike 7.

" Mr. Harry Potter, you are being called inside" a young woman in her early twenties stepped up in front of him.

Harry thanked her before he took a deep breath, and entered the room she had pointed towards.

" Morning Mr. Potter" a man, probably in his fifties, greeted him.

" Morning, inspector." Harry smiled nervously. This could go wrong. Horribly wrong.

"What can I help you with?" The man asked, his voice kind.

" Err actually...I want to test this wa...I mean this piece of wood..For fingerprints."

The man looked at him, a curious glint in his eyes.

" This piece of wood, you say? May I know the reason?"

"Yes, sure. Err...my wife. ..she's lost ..and she likes to collect..wood. I found this where I last saw her...so I was hoping if you could check if it has her fingerprints" he could have pulled the pistol from the inspector's pants and shot himself.

He really needed to take lying lessons.

Why hadn't he thought about this before?

However, the man seemed to have believed him. Either that, or he was a very good actor.

" Give it to me" he took the wand from him and walked towards a small door. " Wait outside, Mr. Potter"

Harry could only nod and it wasn't long before the man came out, a baffled look on his face.

"This is Hermione Granger's wand!" He exclaimed.

Harry froze.

" Wh-" he cleared his throat"- what ?"

Sweat broke out on his forehead.

But the man smiled.

" Don't worry, Mr. Potter. Your secret is safe with me. I'm very glad to be of service. I hope Ms. Granger is doing well."

Harry was stunned.

" Yes " he breathed out.

The man smiled one last time before taking his seat behind the desk.

"This wand...It has your fingerprints, of course, and Ms. Granger's. It also has Draco Malfoy's. " the man said Draco's name with a question in his eyes.

" He's trustable" Harry assured the man. He was still stunned as to how the man could tell whose fingerprints they were.

" There's also a hint of something...A woman..."

"A woman?" Harry asked confusedly.

" Yes" the man seemed deep in thought.

" Well who is it?" Harry asked.

The man sighed. " It was very faint and very old, so I couldn't take a good look. But they were a woman's. Definitely. "

Harry sighed. " can you tell how old it is?"

"Two weeks" the man offered without hesitation.

" How do you know?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

" Ahh, Mr. Potter, I'm a wizard, you see. I use muggle tools and combine it with my magic to investigate. It's quite a long and complicated process, really. Please do tell me if you require something else"

"No, that would be it. Thank you very much, inspector." He smiled gratefully at the man.

"Inspector Charles Jacob Ollivander."

" Ollivander...?"

" Yes" the man smiled at Harry.

" He was my father. "He said with a sad smile.

Harry swallowed and nodded. He picked up Hermione's wand from the table and was about to stand up, when the man spoke again.

" My son... He's quite a huge fan of yours. If you'd please" he held out a paper and pen.

" It'd be my pleasure" Harry said with a smile before signing it off.

" Thank you again." He said before exiting.

OooOooO

She was watching him. She hadn't intended on doing so, but he had reported about Potter's strange behaviour. She followed him as he exited the muggle building. Aiming her wand at him, she whispered. " Petrificus Totalus"

But Harry Potter wasn't the Head Auror for no reason. He ducked in time and around sharply.

His inhale was sharp through his teeth when his eyes found hers. But before he could utter a single word, she took advantage of his confused state and whispered. " Imperio"

OooOooO

" You. Naughty. Little. Thing!!" Ginny Potter yelled as she hugged her best friend tight, and punctuated each letter with a squeeze.

"Good morning to you too, Gin" Hermione teased.

Ginny pulled away, her eyes beaming with the happiness she felt for her best friend.

" I'm supposed to be mad at you for hearing it from Harry, and not from you. But, I'm TOO happy to be mad!"

" Good for me then" Hermione smiled at the enthusiasm Ginny was showing.

"Ferret! Ferret! Heyhoo Blonde Ferret!" Ginny yelled.

Hermione clamped a hand over her mouth. " Gin! What are you doing?"

Ginny grabbed her hand and pulled it away.

"I have some unfinished business with him"

Draco came out of the bathroom a while later, wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. Ginny and Hermione, both, swallowed involuntarily.

"Heyhoo Red Potterete!" Draco greeted Ginny with a tiny smirk.

" Very funny, Malfoy" She rolled her eyes at him.

"Look who's talking. Ferret! Blonde ferret! Heyhoo! "He mocked her by mimicking her, his face twisting up.

Ginny nostrils flared. " If only you weren't my best friend's boyfriend..."

Draco's eyes flickered over towards where his girlfriend was standing, her eyes trailing over his form.

" Are you done staring at me, Granger?" He asked with a smirk.

Hermione's face flushed when she realised he had thrown her signature line back at her.

"You wish, Malfoy."

"My wish has been granted then" he grinned.

" Hey.hey.heyyy!" Ginny interrupted.

" Are my ears deceiving me? Or did you really just call each other by surname?"

" Why yes, Potter. Your extra large, bat-like ears have heard right. We do calm each other by surnames. "

Ginny turned towards Hermione.

She shrugged in response and answered with a grin," old habits die hard"

Ginny shook her head, but her lips twitched upwards into a smile.

OooOooO

Hermione was washing the dishes when she felt a pair of strong arms encircle her around the waist. She smiled and leaned back, dropping her head onto his shoulder.

He kissed her temple.

" You work too much" he murmured against her skin.

Hermione took in a shaky breath as the hands on her waist began to inch towards her stomach. " Then help me" She breathed out.

"What do you want me to help you with?" He asked, his voice low and husky.

" This" She said, before turning around in his arms and pressing her lips to his.

A contented sigh escaped her lips which he eagerly swallowed. His warm breath on her cheek made her shiver as he worked his way towards her jaw line and down towards her neck. He sucked on her pulse point, eliciting a delicious sound from her.

He kissed her one last time before he pulled away and opened his eyes.

His eyes were dark with desire, his pupils dilated . She kissed the corner of his mouth affectionately, and gave him a dazzling smile.

Draco couldn't help but smile back.

She felt herself melt.

OooOooO

" I want to go to work, Draco" She mumbled into his chest.

They were both cuddled up on her couch. His body supporting hers, her legs tucked between his own and her head on his chest.

Draco could feel the despair she was feeling. It was practically radiating off her.

"Are you sure you've healed completely? " he asked.

She lifted her head up and looked into his eyes.

" I'm perfectly fine now. "

Draco swallowed and nodded. Her answer left no space for him to argue. He didn't want to admit to her just yet that he was worried. Worried sick! What if that Lankort bastard showed up again? What if there was someone else involved too?

His mind ran in all directions until it even hurt to think. Sighing, Draco looked down at the witch in her arms. Her eyes were closed and her lips were slightly parted. He smiled.

He didn't even bother to switch the lights off, and took off to the land of dreams.
