Soul Mates

Chapter 12: The Discovery

Draco and Ginny were hanging out in the library, waiting. They looked like they might be reading a book together, or studying.

In reality, they were studying their surroundings. They were being spies. By looking like they were reading, they could scan the room.

Hermione and Harry were at one table, holding hands across the table and playing footsies, while studying for their respective classes. Or rather, trying to study.

Draco saw someone short with brown hair catch his eye. He was glancing at them with a most dark look in his eyes.

Draco twitched the hand curled around Ginny's own. She looked up, as if resting her eyes from the pages. She looked around nonchalantly, and caught the same dark look.

/We'd better watch him, hadn't we?/ Ginny asked Draco in the telepathy that had gotten to be so natural to them both.

/Yes. Let's./ Draco responded.

They waited there for hours, until it was roughly 8 o'clock at night, after everyone else had left. Finally they put their books away, and walked out, holding hands.

They walked slowly, and out of the corner of their eyes', they saw the boy get up and follow them.

They kept up the pace, and saw that he was indeed following them. He suddenly veered off, as if he had forgotten something in the library and was going back for it.

As soon as he turned the corner, Draco and Ginny stole towards it. They saw him enter the library, and Ginny jumped as she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

"Here," Harry whispered, handing her a slippery, silvery cloak.

Ginny smiled and Draco nodded his thanks. Harry slipped back the way he came, and they wrapped the cloak around themselves.

Now moving quicker than before, though just as quietly, they opened the door a small way and slipped in unnoticed.

The saw the boy at a table, a quill in hand and parchment on the table. He was writing a letter, but looked up, as if sensing their prescence.

He shrugged, and went back to what he was doing, the invisibility cloak keeping them well hidden.

Draco and Ginny leaned over his shoulder, reading what he was writing, and Ginny had to stifle a gasp.

***letter***

Sir Malfoy,

I am continuing to watch them with no real troubles. They were studying together today, but since they share a Charms class, that isn't unusual. They acted rather normal, except he held her hand. They left together, and he dropped her off at her porthole, without a kiss, a hug, or anything of the sort. I believe your last letter to him worked. This is in both of our interests. Your son can get with good stock, and I can have the Weasley girl. That is all to report for now. I will write again the next time something happens.

Sincerely,

Neville Longbottom
