Chapter 18

Searching

The door had just opened to a very, very quite house. It seemed like no one had been home, but Ron knew better. He knew by this time both Harry and Hermione would be upstairs, sound asleep. It was very late, and he knew he shouldn't have stayed out this late, but he was on his date, out with Lavender. Every time he had a date, they went to sleep way before he was even close to coming home.

Ron slowly crept upstairs, trying not to make any noise. It was very hard to be quiet, since he was and had always been such a loud person. The only time he was ever this quiet was when he was sneaking around and getting into trouble. He had reached the tope step, and was almost there. He walked fast but silently past their room. Once he had past, he took a deep breath. He had made it!

Ring ring

His cell phone in his pocket had just rang and started vibrating, indicating that someone was calling him.

"Shoot," He said, harshly yet quietly. "Shut up." He smacked it trying to make it be quiet, but it didn't. He knew this wasn't going to work, but he at least wanted to try to get it to be quiet.

Ron then picked up the speed and quickly walked to his room, not caring about how much noise his feet now made on his way doing this. He figured that if Harry and Hermione had were going to wake up, they would have awoken already. He shut the door behind him, so he could be loud again.

Ron quickly took his cell phone out of his pocket and nervous pressed some buttons trying to answer it. He finally did just before it was about ready to hang up.

"Hello?" He answered. His voice was strong yet nervous and monotone. He also seemed sleepy and didn't want to talk to anyone at this moment.

"Look, we'll deal with this tomorrow. It's way too late." Ron said strongly.

With that he fiddled around with the buttons trying to end the call. He hung up the phone, not even waiting for the person's response. He obviously didn't care about the person on the other line.

"Harry, Hermione, I need to talk to you." Ron said.

It was early in the morning and he had just joined them for breakfast. Harry and Hermione had already been sitting at the table eating when he got there.

"What Ron?" Hermione asked, anxious to know what the big deal was over.

"If it's okay with you guys, I'd like to move out."

"What? Why?" Harry asked, sadly.

"Well…" Ron said, contemplating on what to say or at least how to say it. "Lavender and I talked and we decided that we are going to move in together."

A sudden silence filled the room, making Ron start to worry. He knew that even if they said no, he would move out anyway. He didn't have to listen to them, they were just his friends.

"Oh…" Hermione said. "Has it gotten that serious?"

"Yeah, sort of."

"Of course that's okay with us." Ron said. "As long as we don't find you living out on the streets in a while. Just remember if you ever need some place to stay, we always have a room opened, until we have kids." Harry said with a grin on his face.

"Okay, thanks guys."

"Plus," Harry started again, "You would have left whether or not we gave you our permission, you being so stubborn and all."

Ron grinned knowing this was exactly what he would have done. Harry knew him all to well.

It was much later in the afternoon. Ginny had just flooed over the Potter's house to see how the operation had went. She wanted to hear the news and ask if the healer had found out if there was anything wrong with Hermione. She hoped they had figured it out and fixed what was wrong in her body. She didn't want to see her hurt or suffer anymore. She really wandered if it was something magical or muggle.

"It's a long story." Hermione began. "The healer temporarily shut down the organs in my body and very slowly examined every little inch of it. He somehow found out that there was a type of poison in my body. He said that he didn't know where it came from or if I was still being poisoned."

"But…" Ginny had paused for a moment to think about something and make sure it was right before she questioned it. "Wouldn't that have shown up when you were taken in there the first time?"

"The healer said he wasn't quite sure, but he said that if you put some substances in it, it won't be detectable."

"That means it can't be cured then, until you find out who's doing it and stop them, right?"

"Exactly."

"When do you have to go back to work, because I saw your name with mine on the assignment list?"

"Um…Tomorrow, the healers didn't give me any restrictions. They said I wasn't weak after the spell was used, so I'm fine."

"Do you feel like going to work?"

"I don't feel any different then before I went into there. I guess that means I'll be off to work. What did it say for me on the assignment list?"

"It looks like your going to be working with me." Ginny said, with no excitement in her voice.

"Isn't that supposed to be a good thing?"

"Well, it would be, but since we're in two different departments there going to expect us to do a whole bunch more work then anyone else. Plus, I have no idea who the person is we have to investigate."

The group had just arrived at work and had all headed in different rooms in the Aurors department. Hermione and Ginny had gotten there assignment for the week and headed off to fulfill there duties."

"Who are we trying to find?" Hermione asked Ginny. For once, Ginny knew a lot more about this then Hermione did.

"Jermaine Julicate, any idea who he is?"

"Nope never heard of him."

Hours had passed and they had found absolutely nothing on this Jermaine guy. Both of them were still puzzled because they didn't know why they had to hunt this person down. Within two hours of the end of the work day, the two were getting very frustrated, especially because neither of them liked to fail. Hermione especially wanted to get a lead on this man before the end of the work day.

"I've got an idea, come on."

She had a feeling that she knew exactly where they could find some of the information that they needed. Now all she had to do was remember how to get there. This could have been very tricky because she hadn't been to this place in months, maybe even years.

After driving through the muggle city to get there, they had arrived. Ginny got out of the car and stared at this huge building in awe. She had never seen a building like this before in her life.

"But your wand away." Hermione commanded.

Ginny took the wand that was in her hand and stuffed it into her pocket.

"What is this place?" Ginny asked Hermione, following her lead up the stairs into the building.

"It's a library, a muggle library. Now, just act calm, like a muggle."

Hermione walked ahead and Ginny stood, trying to figure out how to pretend to be a muggle. She knew she had done this plenty of times before, but this seemed different, somehow. Usually the only time she acted like a muggle was when she was going to somewhere in the wizarding world that required her to go through a muggle city first. But now, she was temporarily staying there, with the muggles, for a while.

"Come on Ginny." Hermione said. She didn't know what Ginny was doing.

Ginny was still standing in the middle of the sidewalk, with a lost expression on her face. Muggles were starting to walk past her and stare, wondering to what she was doing. Hermione knew that they were supposed to not cause much attention to themselves, but Ginny was doing exactly the opposite.

Ginny quickened her stride after she saw tons of eyes looking in her direction. She walked faster and faster, until she had finally met up with Hermione.

The library in which the pair of them had just entered was humungous. It was made mostly out of cement, making it look out and ancient. At least twenty gigantic stairs were leading up to the building. There was two Roman Columns on each side of the stairs. The columns looked as though they were holding up the roof.

Hermione grasped the handle with her hand and opened the huge heavy door. The door was at least double the size of a regular door, in both width and height. Hermione walked in with confidence. She knew that they were going to be able to find information on the man they were investigating here. Ginny on the other hand had no idea what she was walking into. She had no idea why Hermione would have thought that this place would have information on a wizard when this was a muggle building.

The inside of the building was just as big as the outside. Hundreds of shelves were lined up with books contained inside them. Everywhere Ginny looked there were books. They seemed to be covering almost every square inch of the library.

"Look, we have to go upstairs. I've been here quite a few times before." Hermione whispered to Ginny. "Of course that was a couple years ago, but I doubt anything would have changed."

Hermione went through one row of shelves and found the flight of stairs leading up to the second floor in which they needed to go. She started climbing up the stairs, going slow making sure Ginny didn't get left behind, and being in a new place and all. Ginny stayed very close to her, not wanting to get lost. Hermione made it to the landing and found the door stationed on her right. She opened it and walked in.

The temperature of this room was a lot lower in this room than the others. Inside this room were tons of square boxes on top of many tables. Hermione knew exactly what these "boxes" were, but Ginny had no idea. Ginny started staring at them, clearly trying to figure out exactly what they were.

"What…what are all these things?" Ginny asked. She had a very confused look on her face. With each one that she passed, she stopped and stared, examining them quite closely.

"Wha- oh, those? These are computers." Hermione said. She then turned to sit at one and had Ginny pull a chair up and sit right next to her.

"Com-puee-to-ers…what?"

"Computers." Hermione said with a small smile on her face. "They're muggle machines. They can do almost anything for you. They very interesting."

Hermione then shook the mouse and the screen popped on. Ginny jumped when this happened, not knowing that this was going to occur.

"What's… what's that?"

"That's a mouse." Hermione explained.

"That doesn't look like a mouse. I've seen a mouse and that looks nothing like one." Ginny said, now glancing at that oddly.

"No, it's not really a mouse. Well, it is, but it's a different kind of a mouse. Now isn't the best time for me to try and explain everything about computers."

Hermione had now gotten onto the internet and was "surfing" the web.

Ginny had now noticed Hermione's anticipation and stared staring at the monitor along with her. She watched her intensively, trying to figure out what Hermione was doing. She also wanted to learn more about these odd muggle machines."

"Goggle…" Ginny said reading the screen. "What do goggles have to do with our investigation?"

A huge grin formed on Hermione's face. "Not goggles Ginny, Google. Goggles are things that people use to see underwater, this has nothing to do with those."

"What?"

"Never mind. Google is a search engine." Hermione then thought for a moment, trying to figure out a way to make Ginny understand what was going on. "At this place you can find information on almost anything in the world. Watch"

She then typed in Ginny Weasley in the search bar and pressed enter. Hermione the took a quick look behind her and took out her wand. She pointed it at the top corner of the monitor.

"Veneficus orbis secretum" she said softly but clearly.

"Hermione, WHAT?"

"Don't worry, no one heard or saw me do anything." She said confidentially.

"What was that spell anyways?" She asked.

"It uncovers any information you want about both the wizarding and muggle worlds. I invented it"

Ginny had now glanced at the screen and noticed that quite a few more things had now suddenly shown up. Hermione clicked the first one at the top of the screen. Ginny had quickly started reading what had now just appeared on the screen. Hermione also started reading. She was in shock about how much information this "box" knew about her.

Ginny Molly Weasley, 22, was born in on August 11, 1981 to Molly and Arthur Weasley. She has six other brothers, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George and Ron Weasley. They are all witches and wizards who have attended Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry when they turned the age of 1.

Ginny is very good friends with Harry Potter, and Hermione Potter. The three of them have been friends since the beginning of their years at Hogwarts. Ginny also has befriended Luna Lovegood, was father writes the Quibbler.

Ms. Weasley is now currently dating Draco Malfoy, son of past death eater, Luscious Malfoy. They have been going steady for almost one and a half years. They started dating on June 18th, 2004.

Ginny has also been employed ever since she has graduated from Hogwarts. She has joined up with her friends in working at the Ministry of Magic.

"How does that thing-" Ginny started when she was cut off by Hermione.

"Computer Ginny"

"Right, how does that computer know so much about me?"

Hermione looked over at her. "I actually thought it would know a lot more about you. That's nothing compared to what I can usually find on people. But it knows about almost everyone in the world, even me."

"What, why?"

Hermione thought for a moment, she actually didn't know. "Well, I guess for people like cops."

"What are cops?"

"Uh… Muggles who protect the city, I guess you could say." Hermione said. She was starting to not like these questions because she wasn't quite sure how to answer them.

"Can I try?"

"Sure," Hermione said, glad the questioning was done, for now at least.

AN-This chapter was suppose to be longer, but man am I getting tired. Sorry it took so long to update, and I know I did promise that I would update quicker but I didn't. Well, here's some good news, the chapter for next time will be much longer. That will be my way for apologizing, I guess you could say. Until next time.
Please Review.

Thanks

I have just been trying for the past week to get this chapter up, and something must have been wrong with my computer. It would have been up earlier, just informing you.
