Disclaimer:Blah Blah: I'm going to stop putting these in chapters. This is the last one. I don't own Harry Potter, never have, never will. Simple as that.
Author's Note: Alrighty! I'm proud of myself, actually. Chapters for this story have been coming to me smoothily. Well, looks like I'll encounter some bumps in the road after this chapter... o_-;
Thanks To:
- Colibi - Argh, yes, I was having problems with my computer. Lucky you were the only one to see it! Sorry! ^^;

- Mithua - So, you've read the other chapters before? Glad you decided to review! ^_^!
- Slytherin God - Well, aren't we a bit demanding? Erm.. here then?

Belated Thanks To: Someonesgurl- Sorry I left you off the last chapter! Forgive me? *pout*
Alright.. so now that thanks are done.. Remember, all chapters will most likely not be beta read. Unless by some unknown magical force I get my Beta back.. -.-; Which is very, VERY doubtful. ^_~ Also, be noted that this *IS* slash. So all you that don't bother reading this junk, be warned. (Though it seems everyone knows this is slash, and is highly demanding I slip some in soon. *Grins* ) Well, here's chapter four! ^_^;
The Black Snow Owl
Chapter Four: Visitor From the Past
Raziel had stayed at his office nearly the whole night, replying to the rest of the field reports and sending them to be delivered. He had completely forgotten about Ginny and Draco.
With all the field reports done, he'd ventured into Ginny's office and was now sitting at her desk, answering some of his fan mail.
He smiled to himself as he came across a letter from Hermione Granger. It wasn't exactly fan mail, but advice on some things he should look into. He felt his eyes becoming slightly moist as he read her letter. He hadn't heard anything (Didn't even know what she was doing now, where she lived..) from Hermione since he'd left in his sixth year. Even if she didn't know he was Harry, he didn't care. It was nice to know she was alive and doing well.
He folded the letter once he was done reading and shoved it into his pocket. He wanted to keep it.
Just as he picked up another letter, he caught sight of the digital clock sitting on the corner of the desk. He was surprise to see that it read 5:00 A.M.
Have I really been here that long? Sure doesn't seem like it. He thought, standing up from the chair and stetching. I should get some sleep. He chuckled a the thought.
He went back to his office, which made up for a bedroom at some points. He slid off his robes and kicked off his shoes int he doorway, an walked over to the couch in the sitting are. He yawned and plopped down on it, curling up and closing his eyes. Soon after he drifted off to sleep, only to dream of a subject he'd been hiding and avoiding for years; Draco Malfoy.

Ginny entered the Ministry building early. She wanted to get a head start so she could finish off the fan letters and owl them off before Raziel arrived.
As she opened her door to her office, she glanced down the hall and caught sight of the clothes in the open doorway of the Minister's office.
She sighed and hung her cloak on the coat tree and slowly walked to Raziel's office.
She stepped over the discarded robes and went to the window behind the desk and opened the blinds to let some light into the room. She looked over to the couch and scolded at seeing Raziel curled up asleep. She shook her head and went to shake him awake.
"Wake up Minister.." She shook him gently. "You need to get up, you have a meeting soon." It appeared to be useless. Ginny shook her head again and bent down towards his ear, "HEY!" She said loudly.
Raziel whimpered and rolled over, waving a hand at Ginny, "Lem'me sleep, Dray.." He said groggily, obviously not woken up. Ginny growled in frustration, and rolled him off the couch. He hit the hardwood floor with a loud, startled 'umph!'
Ginny smirked, "There we go."
"Drac, I'm going to hurt-" He rolled over to find Ginny looming over him. "GINNY!" He exclaimed, jumping up. "What are you doing here?"
"Trying to wake you up. You sleep like a rock, you know?" She said, smiling despite Raziel's annoyance.
"Yeah, uh, what time is it?" He asked, sitting down on the couch, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Almost 6 o'clock. Erm, Raziel..?" She glanced at him curiously, "Who is 'Dray?' You mentioned them in your sleep, I was just wondering.." She trailed off.
Raziel blinked, "Um.. Drake May. An old room mate of mine." He quickly changed the subject, "What time is that meeting? 7:30, isn't it?"
Ginny smiled, "7:00, actually. What would you do without me?" She teased. "I have no idea." Raziel replied sarcastically. Ginny didn't seem to notice the sarcasm, or either preferred not to.
"You have just enough time to get a shower, get dressed, grab a bite to eat, and make it back in time for the meeting." She smiled once more before leaving his office. Raziel watched her go before heading over to the fire place across from the couch. He took some floo powder from a small pouch on the mantel and tossed it into the fire and stepped into the flames. "Godric's Hollow." He shouted clearly.
~ ~ ~ * * ~ ~ ~ * * ~ ~ ~
Raziel stepped out of an ancient looking fire place and into a large study room. Raziel loved the convenience of there only being one house in Godric's Hollow. That house, being an ancient mansion he had finished restoring only a year earlier.
His mansion had been the only house still standing when he'd come along and fell in love with it. It'd taken a lot of nerves for him to live in Godric's Hollow, where his parents had lived, and died. Though the main reason he'd bought the manison came from a picture of his Mum and Dad standing infront of this very house. It was odd gow things turned out.
Raziel shook the thoughts away and headed out of the room and down the hallway into the foyer. Just as he was about to go upstairs to get cleaned up, someone knocked on the big oak doors, followed by the door bell ringing.
He groaned and went to the door. He unlocked them and swung them open. He was surprised at the sight that greeted him. "Malfoy?" He asked, not totally believing what he was seeing. "Hullo, Minister, sorry to disturb you this early." Came the farmiliar drawling tone of none other than Draco Malfoy.
TBC...
