Snape walked along the corridor, next to Draco who was covered in a small blanket around his shoulders.

"Are you alright?" Snape asked softly. Draco was seeing a side of Snape he had never seen.

"It's not Venell, Snape. I just know it."

"I don't think it is either. Venell couldn't go through with something like this." Draco nodded to this then looked around the corridor.

"Snape, where are we going?"

"To the Great Hall. It's the temporary Slytherin Common Room while the Ministry sort things out."

They came up to a large door. It was the entrance to the Great Hall. It started to open by itself. When Snape and Draco walked inside the Hall every Slytherin who was there stopped what they were doing and stared at Draco.

The House tables were stacked on the sides and there were a couple of couches in the middle. Toward the back was sleeping bags laid out across the floor.

There was a movement in the crowd, it was Des. She ran up to Draco and wrapped her around him "Oh My God ...Draco im so sorry" She sobbed into his shoulder and then looked into his eyes "I heard what happened to Venell" She said trying to hold back the tears

A Seventh year came up to Draco and Snape.

"Dumbledore has sent a request that you must report to his office immediately" He said.

"Come on them." Snape said heading for the door.

After climbing the moving stairs around the giant bird statue they reached the door to Dumbledore's office. Snape opened it.

"Ill stay here." He said. Draco walked into the office. There was no sign of Dumbledore but Venell was sitting on a seat near the desk. Draco walked up to her slowly.

She sat there with head in her hands not realizing Draco's presents. Draco crouched down in front of her and move the hair covering her eyes.

"Venell? Was it you who did it?" He said slowly and shakily.

Venell looked up slowly to face him, her eye's were red from crying. She looked him the eyes

"Why Would I do such a thing?" She tried to hold back the next set of tears. "I didn't do it."

Draco sighed. "Who did then?"

Venell's attempt to hold her tears in failed. "It was him. He told me to touch the rope."

Draco's eyes widened. "Who?"

"The voice. I herd his voice. I wasn't thinking it. He was in the common room

Draco sighed again. "I believe you."

Venell leaned over and grabbed him. "I didn't do it. I was framed. You got to help me Draco. I was framed." Tears fell down her face like rain out of the sky.

Dumbledore came through the door Draco came through in and walked up to Venell and Draco. "Times up, im afraid."

"Dumbledore." Venell cried. "You got to help me. It wasn't me. I swear."

Dumbledore gave Draco a look so Draco got up and headed for the door. Venell's loud sobbing make a tear fall from Draco's eye.
