Ginny knew there was something wrong. It was the way Adeleine was acting extremely aggressive over the topic and trying to pick fights with her that made her suspicious.
It was clear that everybody else came to the same conclusion that Ginny had. Everyone thought that maybe Marion had messed with Adeleine's mind to make her act like this or that maybe Adeleine was under some sort of Imperius curse.
Luna, Athena, and Neville suspected it as well so the four were all grouped up in Athena's room to discuss their theories. They all agreed that something was up with Adeleine and they were all determined to find out what it was.
"It's like she was possessed" Athena commented, and no one denied it.
"Do you think that Marion jinxed her?" Neville asked and Ginny tilted her head to think.
"I think it's possible" Athena replied with a nod. "I mean, there are so many possibilities. It's almost endless."
Luna sat on Adeleine's bed as the group spoke. She glanced around the room, noticing a faint golden glow on the shelves. Luna took off her shoes, not wanting to be rude and dirty Adeleine's bed as she stood on her toes to reach the golden object.
It was a small inactive snitch that she remembered, Adeleine received as a gift from Draco the night of the Slytherin victory party after their game against Gryffindor.
She tilted her head at the snitch, getting an odd feeling when she touched it. Luna often had little inklings about things that Athena would call glimpses of the future. She was no seer, but she definitely had a feeling that the snitch was going to be of importance.
The blond girl stuffed the snitch inside her pocket as she plopped down back on the bed to continue listening to the conversation that the group was having.
"If it's a hex, what type would it be?" Athena quried, "I mean I might be dumb, but I don't think that theres a mind control jynx."
Luna licked her lips slowly in thought as she uttered her first word to the group in a half hour. "You said that she was creating a polyjuice potion, right?"
Ginny nodded, eager to listen to what Luna had to say. "Hm, so you think that maybe she used the polyjuice to transform into Adeleine?"
Neville's eyes went wide as he heard the words that came from Luna's pink lips. The blond girl glanced to her friends as Athena leaped towards the girl she loved and placed a wet sloppy kiss on her lips, peppering sweet kisses all over her face.
"My girlfriend's a genius!" Athena cheered and Luna blushed, chuckling.
"You've done it!" Ginny said as a light bulb went off inside her head. "But how would Marion have gotten a hair of Adeleline's?"
Neville spoke up, having recovered from his shock. "We should ask Draco about his path from the previous day and see when he last left Adeleine. Maybe it would give us a clue about how Marion got the hair."
Ginny nodded eagerly at Neville and pursed her lips. "We can't let the fake Adeleine know what we're doing so I don't think we should tell Draco yet, but we should get Blaise and Theo."
The four agreed as they went back to the Slytherin common room to find Theo and Blaise playing wizardings chess.
"Nev?" Blaise asked as the brown haired boy bashfully took a seat next to his boyfriend, placing a chaste kiss on his lips.
Neville nodded a greeting to his boyfriend as he let Ginny begin to speak. THe redhead girl was fired up as she began to brief Blaise and Theo on what the four had been discussing previously.
"So you think that Marion turned into Addy?" Theo asked incredulously.
Ginny knew the idea was somewhat far-fetched, but it made sense. Why else would Adeleine be acting that way? And why else would Marion have even wasted time brewing a polyjuice potion for two months.
"I believe it" piped up Blaise earning a small smile from Neville. "I mean, but what are we supposed to do about it?"
Ginny huffed a breath, her hands on her hips and red hair messily in a bun. "I need you two to ask Malfoy about the wedding rehearsal. We need to know his path because we think Marion has Adeleine somewhere."
Theo gulped, but nodded. He wasn't very confident that they would be able to just spontaneously ask Draco about his night with Adeleine without sounding suspicious. The two would have to do it without 'Adeleine' in the room.
"Alright." The two agreed with firm nods as they walked towards Draco's private dormitories.
Theo and Blaise knocked on Draco's door and Draco answered it almost immediately. They could see from the door that Adeleine was sleeping peacefully in the bed and Draco had his reading glasses on.
"Can we talk to you?" Theo asked and Draco gestured for them to come into the room, but Theo shook his head.
"We wouldn't want to disturb her," Blaise said quickly, noticing the confusion that was forming on Draco's face.
"Alright" Draco nodded as he followed the boys out of the room.
"So, we just wanted to ask how the rehearsal dinner was," Theo said, nodding his head oddly making himself seem very unconvincing.
"Why the fuck do you care?" Draco asked.
"You know, I just wanted to check in and shit" Theo grumbled and Draco rolled his eyes with a heavy sigh.
"It was fine. Nothing exciting" the blond boy lied, biting his lip to hide the smirk of the sinful things that the two did in the bathroom, violating the bathroom sink.
Theo sighed, knowing that they weren't going to get much out of the blond boy, but they could still try.
"What'd you guys do after the rehearsal dinner?" Blasie smoothly asked and Draco gave confused glances to both of the boys.
"Nothing much. We just got back and I dropped her off at the Ravenclaw common rooms" he shrugged and gave a look to the boys before going back to his room.
He had no clue what type of interrogation was going on there, but he was getting away from it. He was confused as to what Theo and Blaise were trying to get out of him so he just left the two weirdos to do their own thing.
Theo and Blasie watched as Draco walked away, silently praying that he didn't divide to tell Adeleine about their weird behavior. As Draco shut his door, Theo and Blaise rushed over to the group speaking on the common room couches.
"So?" Ginny immediately questioned.
"He's dropped Adeleine off yesterday at the Ravenclaw common room and that's the last time he saw her before she came back a few hours ago" Theo explained and Ginny nodded, nibbling on her lip as she paced back and forth.
"Then in that time she could have definitely taken her, right?" Athena asked and GInny nodded her head fervently.
"Definitely, and I think that's exactly what she did" replied Ginny.
"So how do we prove it?" Neville chimed in.
"We have to find the polyjuice" Ginny said, her arms crossed as she began to think, "Where do you think she would hide it?"
Theo was the first to speak up. "Well it has to be in arms reach, right? So the only place she would plant it is where she is right now, in Draco's room."
"Oh god" Athena breathed out, staring at the door with the golden scripted letters of Draco Malfoy.
"So, are we going to sneak into the room or have Draco let us in...?" Blaise asked, trailing off slightly.
"Would he just let us all in?" Luna asked, finally speaking with the group.
"Probably to reconcile with Adeleine" Theo shrugged.
Ginny nodded with a grin, "Then we'll just pretend to forgive the bitch and then look for the potion."
The group agreed unanimously as they discussed where they thought the polyjuice potion was hidden. They had no clue as to where the polyjuice potion could be as Marion was a highly intelligent person and unpredictable to say the least.
But, if Adeleine had truly been taken by Marion then they would go to such lengths to help the girl.
