A/n: Sorry this chapter's pretty short. I'll make the next one longer! Cheers!

Chapter 3-

Four years later Harry Potter sat at his desk. He now worked for the Ministry of Magic as an Auror. He was busily flipping through his latest case files. He saw his secretary enter the room but chose not to acknowledge her presence. He returned to the files, concentrating on where the evidence led. He looked up annoyed when his secretary cleared her throat to make her presence known.

"I said no calls, no messages, no anything!" Harry barked, glaring at the secretary. He watched her squirm under the glare and immediately felt bad.

"I'm sorry, Susan, I've had a long night."

Susan nodded her head, now unsure if she should tell him what she had found. "Was there something you wished to tell me, Susan?" Hearing her boss's voice return to normal she nodded.

"I really think you might want to see this, Harry." Susan said, gesturing to the folder she was holding. She walked over to Harry's desk, her eyes serious. "We've got a lead on the Weasley case. She's been spotted."

Ginny Weasley stormed into her office. Her secretary and a medi-witch were following her. She was furious. She slammed open her office door, and sat in her chair. The medi-witch began to try to clean her wounds.

"Ow! Sod off!" Ginny said, waving her hand at the witch. She was annoyed that everyone was bothering her and she had too much to get done. She needed to review a case file that had been closed for lack of evidence and in order to do that she had to be able to move.

She shooed off the medi-witch and went to the file cabinets on her office flipping through the many files. She pulled out the desired record and slammed the cabinet shut and went back to her seat, people still buzzing around her.

She didn't even look up as Draco Malfoy came into her office ranting. "Didn't I tell you not to go after them?! You could have been killed! You put the entire squad in danger because you're so dam recklace!" Draco ranted.

Ginny looked up not phased in the least by her best friend's temper. "Are you about done Draco?" She asked in a board tone. "Because if you are I think I may have the evidence to convict Finnigan."

Draco immediately stopped his ranting. "Ginny, you know that case has been cold for two years now, all the evidence could have been tampered with. There really won't be much to go on."

"But is this enough?" Ginny asked, holding up an old wand. "I found it by the murder scene. It was a few miles down the stream from where the girl was found."

Draco stared at the aforementioned object. "Is that-?" He began not believing his eyes.

"Yes, it's Finnigan's wand. At least that's who Mr. Olivander swears he sold it to. That man never forgets a wand or a customer."

"Wow, Gin this is great. We can cast a spell to see the last spell used on it. We can finally catch Finnigan!" Draco gushed.

Draco and Ginny had been working together on the case when it started. It meant a lot to both of them, the case was not one to be easily forgotten nor dismissed. It was very delicate but had a severe lacking of evidence and had to be determined cold.

"Hopefully yes." Ginny sighed, returning to the files. Her posture was stiff as was the usual when she was working on a large case. Away from the office she was laid back and very social but as soon as her pager or phone went off she went into office mode where nothing was more important than getting the job done and making sure no one gets hurt.

Ginny wasn't exactly and Auror. Her actual job title was the negotiator. She would go into the situations where a witch or wizard had taken hostages and was the best at it in the field. Her calm laid back personality and her bored attitude she adopted every time she was in a hostage situation.

"Why do you sound so unsure?" Draco asked cautiously. Her sudden change in attitude confused him, but then again it usually did. He walked over to the other side of the desk so he could read over Ginny's shoulder. He knew it usually annoyed her when people read over her shoulder but since that had been his sole purpose for so long he didn't really mind.

Then again she wasn't one of the top Aurors then nor did she have tons of training to kick his arse if need be. He shook his head dispelling all those thoughts and looked at the file she was reading. "Wait, why are you reading a file on Samuel Johnson?" Draco inquired, thoroughly bemused.

"Charles Johnson was the one person who visited Finnigan the most while Finnigan was on trial. He appeared at the hearing and visited Finnigan many times while he was in Azkaban. Thirteen to be exact." Ginny said handing the AVR (Azkaban Visitors Records) to him while going over Finnigan's file at the same time.

"Are you saying maybe Finnigan wasn't in it alone? That he had an accomplice? Gin that's a serious acquisition." Draco said slightly worried.

"Be that as it may there is sufficient evidence saying that Johnson is very much involved. Not only the AVR but he was also spotted near the scene of the crime. I remember talking to him about the murder and he seemed to be hiding something." Ginny reminisced. She leaned over her desk propping her head up with a hand to her forehead as she rubbed her temples trying to dispel the cluttered thoughts and severe migraine she was developing.

Draco put down the case and began rubbing Ginny's very tense shoulders trying to help her relax. Ginny relaxed a bit but not enough to his liking so he turned her chair around to face him. "Gin I want you to go home, eat a good meal, and get some rest. No excuses. I can handle things here." Draco commanded, his tone concerned yet firm.

"Draco, I'm fine. I need to get this work done and I need to-"

"Go home and sleep. Yes I know that and you're going to do just that even if I have to give you a sleeping potion and apparate u over there myself. Now come on, up." Draco chided, pulling Ginny from her chair. "Get some sleep." Draco said and kissed her forehead before taking her recently vacated chair. The snap of air indicated Ginny's departure.

Ginny apparated to her flat and looked around. Home sweet home. Ginny threw down her keys to her car (yes she had a muggle car much to Draco's dismay) and went to her refrigerator opening it and seeing what food she had. Some pumpkin juice and a piece of ham was all that greeted her.

"Dammit I forgot to get groceries." Ginny moaned, slamming the door shut. She went to look in the cabinets but saw nothing yet again. She went to where she placed her keys and opened the door and dropped them in surprise.

Her hand flew to her mouth as she saw the person standing in her doorway more clearly. "Oh my God...."
