Draco's POV

Despite Hermiones's assurances as I walked into the great hall the next morning I instinctively glanced towards the Gryffindor table, sure that Potter would be giving away the whole thing. To my surprise there was Potter Sulking at his table pushing food around on his plate but not really eating any even though Ginny was trying to coax him to. As she glanced up and saw me Ginny glared and made a rather rude muggle gesture that I had not encountered before but I was able to discern the meaning to. I quickly headed to the Slytherin table to see if anyone said anything I needed to hear. As I sat down Theo glared at me and rolling my eyes I looked farther down the table. As I did I noticed Daphne was red eyed as if she had been crying. Pansy was sitting next to her consoling her and as I met her eyes, I gestured towards Daphne and gave her a questioning look. Pansy nodded and then made her way out of the great hall. I quickly followed to see what she knew. As I walked out the door Pansy whispered "Draco over here."

When I walked to the doorway of the room she was sitting in she pulled me in and shut the door. I raised my eyebrow at her and she rolled her eyes and said, "that doesn't work on me you know." I smiled and said "worth a try though right?" She smiled and then her face fell and she said" Have you heard about Astoria?" Surprised, I stood up straighter and said "what about her?" "She's missing Draco," Pansy said quietly. "Since last night. She left to meet a guy she has been meeting off and on for weeks but this time she never came back." "Who is he,"I said immediately. "No one knows," Pansy said quietly. "She wouldn't tell anyone anything even her sister!" "What did Mcgonagell say," I asked. "We didn't tell her," Pansy said. "We didn't want her to be in trouble and we wanted to talk to you first but we couldn't find you."

I looked down guiltily as I realized I had stayed the night with Granger when one of my house was in trouble. Astoria was one of my best friends sister and we had grown up together. She had always followed me around but she was sweet.

"Draco, what do we do," Pansy said quietly. "Daphne is concerned and so am I. What if the one who got Granger..."

I cursed out loud as I realized I had never even thought of the possibility that taking Granger out of the situation would leave this maniac to find someone new. And for it to be Astoria!

"ok first I need you to run the rumor mill," I said quickly. "I need to know what everyone in Slytherin knows about Astoria and this guy. Tell them to keep it quiet for the moment."

Pansy nodded and I saw the relief on her face as I took the responsibility from her and gave her something she could do to help.

"And Pansy," I said as she went to leave," I'm sorry I wasn't here."

She nodded and left quickly.

VIllians POV

I watched quietly as Draco sat down. He and Pansy shared a look and she immediately stood up and left with him following soon after. I grimaced as I imagined what the two of them were getting up to together. "He really did get over Hermione terribly quickly"I thought to myself as I watched him go after the Parkinson witch. "He had been watching carefully to see if anyone had missed Astoria but apparently she was as unimportant to them as she had been to him. I smiled as I wondered how long it would take them to find her where I had left her. Should be pretty soon.

I looked around the Great Hall as I considered my next move. I rolled my eyes at the would be savior Potter and his continued mourning. I watched Ginny weasely and her continued futile attempts to be enough. I looked at Daphne Greengrass and wondered if somehow she knew she had lost her sister. Soon I would start my new revised plan and the brats at Hogwarts would not know what hit them.
