Chapter Three- Bruised and Broken
Draco was exhausted after talking with Hermione Granger for the first time in years. She was one of the only intelligent people he had spoken to for the past few months. And that included the Ministry employees. After getting kicked out of her room, he left St. Mungo's to buy some coffee. He really preferred the muggle Starbucks to anything wizards could conjure up. It surprised him plenty to know that he liked muggle food rather than wizard. Along with some muggle money, he brought some pictures of Hermione before the Healer had done his work. More specifically, pictures of Ms. Granger at Central Park. It didn't bother him that she was a victim. What bothered him was that she was a victim in New York City, USA. It bothered him that she wasn't a victim in London. It would be difficult to investigate.
"Sir?" asked the lazy employee at Starbucks. "SIR?!" Draco looked up.
"Yes?"
"Your coffee is ready." He handed him a steaming cup of black coffee. Draco smiled his thanks and walked back to his seat rolling his eyes. The man was so obnoxious just for a cup of coffee. He opened his jet-black briefcase and pulled out some case pictures, sipping his coffee rather noisily. The other people watched with interest. Case pictures didn't move, luckily, because any wizard lawyer knows that a moving victim doesn't help the case at all. In fact, it rather hurts it. To see an unknown movement in a victim could be false evidence.
Draco sipped and looked for a while until a man opened the door and walked to his table, sitting across from him. He looked up. "Yes?" he asked curtly.
"Come with me, Mr....Malfoy?"
"Yes, it's Malfoy, but I'd rather not come. I've some business at the moment."
"I think you will come. I've discovered something important about Ms. Granger." He flashed a wizard badge on his suit at Draco. Draco nodded in approval and led the way out after gathering his pictures and putting them away. "Good bye!" the salesman called as they left with a jingle of bells.
After they had walked a ways, Draco asked, "So, what did you find out? And who are you?"
"Mr. Daniel Horus, pleased to meet you." He held out a hand. Draco looked at it, giving the impression that he did not know what to do. Daniel removed his hand quickly, "Well, we discovered some bruising of the inner thighs, as you might already be aware of." Draco nodded. "Anyway," Daniel continued, "She seems to be a rape victim, as well as a burn victim. They found traces of unknown sperm in her vagina, but other than that, she is in no bad condition. She's not pregnant."
"How do you know she wasn't just fooling around?," said Draco, rather surprised. "Have you analyzed the sperm?"
"The bruising. As for the sperm, no. We are going to do that soon, but we thought we ought to tell you first. It doesn't take very long. It didn't waste any time coming. I'll see you Mr. Malfoy." With that, he turned and apparated with a loud pop.
Draco turned around as well and found a gun at his head.
