Emily and Brandie apparated back to Dragon Fire while Joanne
and Sirius are having an all-out snog and shag fest in Sirius' office. They see
what's going on, and turn away while Brandie exclaims, 'See Em, I told you we
should have knocked on the door, but no you had to come bursting in here with
the guy right away!'
'Sorry guys.' Emily said red-faced and meekly, still not
turned around, 'Come-on Brandie I guess we should come back later.'
'No guys' Joanne said, while putting her clothes back on, 'you
might as well stay you already ruined the bloody mood anyways.'
'What made you come bursting I here anyways?' Sirius asked,
after they were both fully clothed.
'Him.' Brandie replied simply, jerking her thumb over her
shoulder.
They looked behind her and noticed a tall, familiar looking,
curly-haired man lying on the floor in a full body-bind, bound and gagged, and
stupefied, just for extra good luck.
'Isn't that…' Joanne gasped.
'The very same.' Emily answered, 'Justin Finch-Fletchley.'
'Job well done Angels, Charlie will be proud, but how did
you figure out he was the culprit?' Sirius asked.
'We figured you would ask that so I took the opportunity of
preparing a full report.' Brandie said calmly.
'We even got him to confess.' Emily said, 'but he wouldn't
give up whoever is behind this.'
'He did it for the money Sirius,' Brandie continued on, 'he
had to find some way to feed his wife and kids, and the bastard behind it all
knew of all that and offered him $10,000,000 to try to blow us up.'
'He took it but only because he thought he could hide from
that excuse for a human being,' Emily was talking again, 'but he couldn't
Joanne, he just couldn't. Then the guy wanted honey back if Justin wasn't going
to do it, but Justin couldn't give him his money back because they had already
spent a lot of it on stuff for his house and family.'
'So then the guy black-mailed him into it,' Brandie was
again explaining to them what the deal was, 'Said that if Justin didn't do what
he said he was gonna kill his wife and kids and make Justin watch as he did
it.'
'So he gave in, I mean wouldn't you Siri?' Em was saying,
'if he was threatening to kill Joey and the baby and make you watch him do it?'
'I suppose I would.' Sirius said solemnly.
'And wouldn't you Joanne?' Em asked.
'I would do the same as Justin.' Joanne replied.
'See when he bombed us he tried to get it as far away from
us as possible without looking suspicious,' Brandie said, 'but Joanne you just
got a little too close.'
'So you see guys he was just a poor guy stuck in a bad
situation.' Emily said.
'And he came to us as soon as possible.' Brandie added. 'So
we think he can get off a little easier than normal.' She continued.
'What do you think Annie?' Sirius asked.
'I think their right.' Joanne said.
'You want to know what I think?' Emily asked.
'What?' said Sirius and Joanne simultaneously.
'I think that since Brandie and I solved the case and there
is no other assignments right now, that we should get a break.' Emily finished.
'I think that's a great idea girls,' Sirius said, 'go have a
wonderful break.'
'Oh we will don't worry.' They chorused before Brandie
strode over to the fireplace, and Emily apparated away.

The whirling and spinning that was the Floo powder stopped
suddenly and Brandie stepped out of the hot, dirty fireplace. As she was
dusting off her robes she heard a very sexy, very familiar voice calling
'Zarya! Is that you?'
Brandie didn't answer as she slinked towards the room the
call came from. She slowly opened the door, not making a sound so as to have
the element of surprise.
As she slipped into the room she spied a man tied to a bed. She
had a sudden flash of Zarya, and she wasn't alone. ^Good, ^ she thought,
^at least now I don't have to worry about Zarya missing this one. ^
Brandie walked up beside the bed to get a better look at
him. ^Not bad, ^ she thought, ^not bad at all. Zar must be crazy to
leave him all alone. ^ She sat down
on the bed next to that gorgeous man that was Draco Malfoy.
'Zarya, I know you're here Zarya could you please untie me
now? I have been like this for almost 3 days Zarya. Please Zarya, please.' He
called out.
Brandie leaned down next to his ear and whispered, 'I'm not
Zarya.'
'Then who are you and why are you here?' he said to no one
in particular.
'I am your dream come true, and I'm here to fulfill you
greatest fantasies.' She whispered, and with that she leaned down and kissed
him for all she was worth.
After a few moments of this Brandie pulled back and
whispered to him, 'Do you still want you precious Zarya now?' and Draco, he
replied 'Zarya, Zarya who?' With that she snapped her fingers and the ropes
that bound him disappeared.
Then Draco wrapped his arms around her and kissed her
deeply.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~§~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was Seamus.
'Oh my god!' Zarya exclaimed, 'what the f*** is he doing
here of all places?!'
'Quick we have to hide!' she continued, 'Come on Colleen!'
she said dragging Colleen and Remus away from Penelope and Seamus. 'Move
faster!' She hissed at them, 'come-on move!' but it was too late they had already
been spotted.
'Zarya! Is that you?' Seamus cried, suddenly letting go of
Penelope, who promptly fell to the floor, 'it is you! My gods I haven't seen
you in ages. It must have been…Er how long has it been?' he asked.
'Exactly 3 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 13 hours, 47 minutes,
and…' Zarya checks her watch, '37 seconds. Er I mean…about 3 months why? Do you
miss me or something?' she inquired softly.
'Er…no, why do you ask? Just curious that's all. Do you miss
me?' he asked wistfully.
'No, should I?' Zarya said in an unsure tone, 'and I asked
to satisfy my curiosity.' she replied in a firm but shaky voice.
Somewhere during this conversation Colleen and Remus had
slinked off to the bar, partially because they were thirsty and partially to
get away from that particular conversation.
'Well we did have great times together.' Seamus said, as he
looked back on the good times.
'That we did…' said Zarya, 'kinky ones too,' as she looked
back on the great times.
All of the sudden Seamus reached out and kissed Zarya at
first she resisted but she finally gave in, and what started out as I light
kiss got more and more heated until finally Seamus broke away and asked, 'Want
to go back to my flat for a while, Zar?' before diving back into the snog session.
'Umm-hmm' Zarya replied, not stopping the "kiss" for a second. Seamus took this
for a yes and pulled Zarya into a dark corner before quietly apparating away to
his flat.
