It had been a week since the day Pansy was interviewed. So far there have been no developments, no loose ends that Neville and Harry could use to try and find perhaps a motive or even a suspect. Hermione had only stayed a few days at Harry's place, deciding to move in at her parents in muggle London till she knew what to do next. Ron had sent her divorce papers and because Ron signed no prenup he was going to take as much money from her as he possibly could. Harry other then working tirelessly on the case managed to arrange a dinner with his one time fiancé Ginny Weasley. Ginny other then having a baby had changed quite a lot, more so then Harry had expected. She lost that anger and aggressiveness she once developed from growing up in house full of boys. She had now become tamer and more family orientated, making it difficult for them to catch up. It was 8:00 pm on a Tuesday evening when they decided to catch-up at a trendy new restaurant in Hogsmead called Casablanca. Ginny wore a black dress and Harry came in a buttoned up shirt and faded denim jeans. A clothing choice which both made Ginny smile and wince, to her Harry socially anyway was still the same awkward boy she met those many years ago.

'So Harry I heard what happened between Ron and Hermione' Ginny stated casually.

Harry stopped sipping his wine and put his glass down.

'Ginny you have to understand Mione and I never expected anything like this to happen it wasn't planned it just happened' Harry said apologetically.

'No worries Harry I understand, sometimes people change and people fall out of love' Ginny said staring at the table cloth ' but anyway I heard your working on the Seamus's murder' said inquisitively as she looked into Harry's eyes.

'Yeah I am, it's been hard there are practically no clues or any leads'

'I heard your investigating Parkinson, did you know Ron took up her offer for a job?'

'What Ron? What does he know about pharmacy?'

Ginny laughed 'absolutely nothing, but he is great for exploring and he's planning to lead an exhibition into the Mexican rainforest, Parkinson's people seem to think that a plant might be growing there with medicinal properties.'

Harry listened trying to absorb in the new information.

'Harry this is between us only, you're not going to tell anyone? If anyone finds out Ron could loose his job, its confidential information' Ginny began panicking.

Harry laughed 'don't worry Gin, Ron's secrets safe with me, I'm glad he is moving on'

'Me too' Ginny smiled.

At that moment a ring tone could be heard coming from Ginny's bag.

'Oh, why do these bags have to be so big?' Ginny huffed while scrambling through her bag.

'It's a message' Ginny stated.

Ginny looked disappointed 'Harry I have to go Mark wants me back the baby wont stop crying and he doesn't know what to do.'

'A mother's work is never done' Harry said. Ginny smiled 'Well I'm really sorry, I'll try and organize a Nanny so we can have a proper dinner next time, and I'll pay for what I ordered' Ginny said digging through her bag for some money.

'Don't worry Ginny I can't expect you to pay for something that hasn't even arrived yet'

'You're great Harry, okay I got to go ciao' Ginny said giving Harry a peck on the cheek.

As Ginny excited the restaurant and Harry sat back down for his dinner to arrive. From the bar came a tall, beautiful woman by the name of Pansy Parkinson. She made her way to Harry's table and sat were Ginny had sat moments before.

'Hello Harry?'

'Pansy? I mean Miss Parkinson what are you doing here?'

'What's with all the formalities?'

'Parkinson I cant be seen having dinner with you you're the main suspect in a murder im investigating.'

'Well Harry, dinner hasn't arrived yet and I thought I proved my innocence by taking veriserum.'

'People have been known to evade veriserum'

'Only two people since veriserum was created Harry, besides im not that smart.'

'Don't lie Parkinson I saw your results, you got higher grades then Hermione graduating year, I still don't know why you didn't get Valedictorian'

'I abdicated; I didn't want to be seen as a looser like Granger.'

'Don't call her a looser!' Harry raised his voice.

'Harry people are looking at us, you wouldn't want to be noticed dining with a suspect would you?'

Harry was fuming inside, but agreed with her logic. That very moment the dinner Harry and Ginny had ordered had arrived. Harry had expected Pansy to leave, was he wrong.

'Mmm muscles my favorite' Pansy screeched excitedly like a school girl. Before she continued 'Whatever you say about those Weasley's one sure thing is they have taste in food'

'I heard you offered Ron a job' Harry said

'Yeah I offered it to him a few months ago, but he wouldn't leave since Hermione loved her job so much'

'Well that's not a problem anymore' Harry said regrettably.

'I know I fixed that problem'

Harry stopped eating his beef and looked up. 'You told him didn't you?'

'Yeah, he wouldn't leave without her and I needed someone capable to lead the exhibition'

'You broke up a marriage, for some stupid exhibition?' Harry yelled angrily.

'Potter one the exhibition is not stupid, it could bring me a lot of money. Two it could help a lot of people if our studies are successful.' Pansy said

'That's it I'm leaving' Harry said getting up.

As Harry was about to leave Pansy said 'I have information regarding your murder enquiry'

Harry turned around and sat back in the chair. 'What do you have?'

'This was dropped of this morning at my house' Pansy whispered passing Harry an envelope.

Harry opened the letter and read out loud 'Bitch, stay away or your dead'. Harry looked back up and at Pansy 'Wow that's informative'

'Well what do you want me to do? Send him a return letter telling him to be more specific?' Pansy countered.

'Look Pansy if this was serious you would have went to the police and not to me, obviously you're trying to play games and I don't have the time'

'Oh please Potter your busy, try running a multinational corporation, that's busy. Listen I came to you because I don't trust the police, rumor has it there are a few crooked cops on the force.'

Harry leaned in 'Know any specific names?'

'Well if I did I'd tell you'

'Pansy, do you know what this letter might be referring too?'

'I think Mark Gadaski sent it to me'

'Ginny's husband?' Harry asked shocked.

'Yes, now keep your voice down. Look over the past few months I've been trying to do a corporate takeover of his company; I had his partner Blaise on board and a few of the other major stock holders. Blaise Wednesday last week while Gadaski was in Borneo for business was going to ask for the board to replace Mark as ceo.'

'Yeah?' Harry asked intrigued.

'Well Potter Blaise ended up in the morgue didn't he?'

Harry leaned back against his chair 'So Parkinson you're trying to tell me that Ginny's husband, killed Blaise because he was helping you?'

'No he killed Blaise because Blaise was about to destroy everything Mark worked for the past 10 years.'

Harry laughed 'And you say you're a nice person?'

'Whatever it's completely legal what we were doing'

'So were you and Blaise lovers or was that a farce?'

'It was a lie, have you not had a proper look at me Potter? I'm too good for him'

At that moment Harry decided to observe Pansy Parkinson properly. She was truly beautifully, with Scandinavian cheekbones and amazing eyes and a body that looked like that of a Greek goddess.

'Well Potter dinner was nice' Pansy said as she got up to leave.

'Let me escort you home, after the death threats you've been given you might be a good witness'

Pansy agreed as they began to walk. 'How'd you get here?' Harry asked.

'I apparated, but from all that wine I wont be able to keep my mind focused so I'll go back home by floo network.'

Harry agreed. She didn't look like she was up for walking, let alone apparition.

'Oh no' Pansy moaned.

'What?' Harry replied.

'I left my fur coat back at the table. Here hold my floo powder, its expensive don't be giving it to hobos or anything.' Pansy said as she went back inside to get her coat.

Harry soon after was approached by a homeless wizard who asked if he could borrow some floo powder, so he can go to the pub. Harry being in a particularly vindictive mood towards Pansy gave the wizard some powder. That very moment Pansy walked out the door. 'You ready?

That when she noticed the homeless man with her custom floo powder. 'Potter you bastard'. Harry smirked. The couple waited as the homeless man approached the street fireplace.

The man through the powder in but instead of transporting him anywhere the man burst into a ball o flames. Harry grabbed Pansy's coat instinctively of her hand and chucked it on the man trying to stop the fire. Pansy stood gob smacked just staring in disbelief. The fire was put out, but unfortunately the man never made it. Harry called the station and an ambulance. After the calls where made he turned to a traumatized Pansy. 'Pansy, someone had just tried to kill you, were did you last leave that sachet of powder?'

Pansy looked up with doe like eyes. 'In my office'

'Then we got to go there now'
