Chapter two
Draco Malfoy was sitting in the Slytherin common room talking to Blaise Zambini, she was going on about this person who had paired her up with Justin, her dream guy, Justin was another seventh year Slytherin.
"You visit them at midnight, opposite the bookcase in the north tower, you give them some information, they sort through some papers, you give them a galleon and you get a bio on the perfect match for you." She explained happily.
"Who is this person, what are they doing this for and how come I have never heard of them before?" Draco asked.
"One, no one knows, they always wear a cloak and have a voice disguising spell cast to make sure no one notices them, trust me, I would recognize that voice if I had heard it before. Two, no one knows that either, but by the amount of people I have heard talking about them I'd bet they were getting a lot of money from it as they charge a galleon each time and three, I guess you were never in the right place at the right time as I have heard so many people talking about them. I bet you couldn't find out who they were, I'll give you two galleons if you can find out who they are." She said with a challenging look on her face, the two galleons would be worth it, she knew he would find out and she wanted to know who it was and was willing to pay to find out.
"Of course I'll find out who they are, so have the gold ready." He said smirking.
"I was counting on it." She said then stood to leave. "Good night Malfoy." She called.
"G'night." He replied, stood and left the common room and headed towards his dormitory in the south tower, he had a flat, as muggles would call it with two bedrooms, a sitting room, a small kitchen and a bathroom, he was head boy you know, and head boys only got the best.
"OK." Draco said thinking out loud, Blaise had said opposite the book case, the only book case in the west tower was an ancient black book case, it was filled with muggle books and was on the very top floor He went to where he knew the book case was and knocked on the door opposite twice as instructed.
The door flew open and he entered the room, it was bare except for a desk and two chairs, one on either side, there was also a figure sitting behind the desk, he could only see them as there was a little amount of light being emitted from a single candle on the corner of the desk.
"Hello Draco Malfoy, take a seat." The person behind the desk ground out in a very rough and distinctive voice. Suddenly an alarm went off and the person jumped and quickly went into action, they pulled a black file from the desk as well as a cloak and blew out the candle, then the alarm stopped.
"Come here." The person whispered worriedly, they were crouched in a corner so he approached them and did the same, they unfolded the cloak and pulled it over them, it must have been an invisibility cloak, Draco thought, and sat silently until the door opened.
It was Filch quickly followed by Mrs Norris. "Ohhh, I'll get those brats." He said viciously. "They said I would find students here out of bed but they lied." He said, his voice changing to a shriek as he finished what he was saying.
He left the room and the other person stood up. They returned to the desk and opened the file, they looked through it for a while, asking questions every now and then. After about five minutes they pulled a piece of paper out of the folder and held out their hand to Malfoy who was now sitting in the chair again.
"Money for the information." They rasped, he handed over a gold galleon and held out his hand for the information. Before they gave it to him they said in their rough voice. "Even though you may be the ideal match I don't suggest you even ask her out, if you end up liking her it may turn out to be a Romeo and Juliet story, for your families will never get on and her judgment may be clouded by your past actions." The figure rasped as they passed him the sheet of paper.
No wonder, he thought to himself, it was Virginia Weasley. The other figure stood to show him the door and as they did their robes fell open to show him that they were wearing fitted jeans and a red tank top, though the most important thing he noticed was the hair, the persons hair was red and the plait was hanging over her shoulder. He only knew one person with hair that shade.
Just then the girl noticed this too, she swore slightly then picked up her belongings and ran from the room. Draco blew out the candle and he too left to return to his dormitory
As the girl ran she pulled her invisibility cloak tight around her body and headed towards the Gryffindor common rooms. When she arrived at the portrait of the fat lady and rasped out the password. She pulled off the cloak and muttered the counter charm to make her voice normal again, she hurried up the stairs and ran into her dormitory, she shoved everything she was carrying into her trunk and hurriedly got changed and got into bed.
"Where have you been Ginny?" Lisa her room mate groaned.
"I was just working down stairs, don't worry." She replied quietly. Tonight had been a bit close for comfort, and she would probably win a bet if she said that Malfoy knew who she was. Any way, she thought, I can think about that in the morning, and fell asleep.
Lying awake in his bed, Draco Malfoy was reflecting on the happenings of that night, he still couldn't believe it was Virginia under that cloak. Well alright, he was pretty sure it was her, he didn't know anyone else in the school with hair quite that shade of red. Any how, he thought, I'll know tomorrow morning, he thought and rolled over onto his side and tried to clear his mind and go to sleep.
