Please review again!
Chapter 12: The Malfoys Join The Fight
Rose P.O.V.
I was sitting in my kitchen, talking to my mother on the phone whilst crying hysterically; she said she would be over soon because she was really worried about me. I told her to do what she had to do but I told her that I would only be okay when my son was returned to me. I hung up and heard a loud knock on the door. I got up cautiously, my hand resting on my wand in my pants pocket. I opened the door a crack and saw Draco Malfoy standing there, "Well, are you going to let me in?"
I opened the door all the way and said, "Of course, uh, sorry; Scorpius isn't home right now, though."
"That's fine, you're smarter than him anyway." Draco stepped into the room and looked around conspiratorially.
"May I ask why you are here, you never visit." I asked quietly.
"I've been doing some digging." He pulled a piece of newspaper out of his pocket and a photo.
He handed them to me and I said, "What are these?"
He took them back quickly, "Maybe something important."
"Then let me have them back so I can look at them." I reached out but he looked at my hand in utter disgust.
"I will tell you why it may be important." Draco smirked.
"Fine." I sat down daintily on the couch.
"The headline I have found and chosen, reds: "LEGENDARY HOGWARTS PROFESSER, HORACE SLUGHORN, HELPS IN THE CAPTURE OF DEADLY KIDNAPPER" And the photograph I have is evidence that Rosserin was mad that Slughorn ratted him out."
"But, how did Slughorn help in the capture?" I asked.
"He was friends, very good friends, with the Rosserin's father, Giselmaere Rosserin. And, being friends with him he had been to his summer home in Blackpool. Slughorn suggested that Lytle may be hiding there, and he was correct. The Rosserins didn't have many friends and just their closest friends knew of the summer home. It was a dumb place for Lytle to hide, some say he wanted to get caught, but we may never know for sure." Draco looked victorious.
"What does this have to do with my son and finding Lytle?" I was kind of angry; this wasn't a legitimate answer to what I cared about.
"Blackpool!" Draco said.
"Why would he hide the same place twice?" I shook my head.
"If it was true about him wanting to be found then he will be there." Draco handed me the photo, "This shows that he was angry at Slughorn."
I looked at the photo, it was Slughorn shaking the judge's hand and Rosserin was being pulled away in the background and seemed to be saying something. His mouth moved as if to say the words, 'I will get you!' "I'm not so sure this is towards Slughorn, Mr. Malfoy."
"Of course it is."
"If it is, then your story doesn't make sense, or your stupid theory. He seems to be talking to the camera, first of all, and second of all, if he wanted to be caught he wouldn't be mad at Slughorn. Think about it, if you say that he wanted to be caught, then why would he be mad at Slughorn? And why would he target my baby because of that?" I explained.
"You and Scorpius were in the Slug Club, maybe that's why he took your baby, but it proves that he could be at Blackpool with your baby, not his motives, if there are any." Draco stated matter-of-factly.
"Blackpool is worth a shot, but what if he is somewhere more obvious than that, like a friend or family member's home?"
"He has a brother that is still living, but his parents passed away in an accident three years ago. It's sad, their parents were nice people." Draco said.
"Maybe he is at his brother's house then." I said., "We need to talk to Scorpius."
"When does he get home?" Draco asked.
I answered, "He'll probably be working late again, we should go to the Ministry."
I knew my mum was coming soon, but this was more important, so we left the house and apparated to London. As soon as we hit the ground in the ally we made our way to the bathrooms and flushed ourselves down. We ran to the Auror office and went straight to the front desk. The offices were in chaos, Harry was somewhere unknown, so was Albus, fake tips were coming in like crazy, and half of the department was off looking for clues and following the possibly true tips. I went to the lady at the front desk and said, "Is Scorpius in?"
"I'm sorry Mrs. Malfoy, I have no idea where anyone is, it's crazy here!" She said.
I nodded and started walking to his office, but I was stopped by Lonnie, "Rose, you are probably looking for Scorpius! He went down to records a couple of minutes ago to find some more info on Lytle's parents' car crash. He won't be back for a while. I can try to help you out or you can wait."
I gave him the information that Draco found and he said that this was pretty good and he went and asked my dad, who was acting as Head Auror while Harry was MIA, if he could send a couple of aurors to these locations. He came back moments later and said, "I am going to Blackpool with Ron and Ron is sending someone to get Scorpius to go to Lytle's brother's house with Gunner." He then ran off to get ready to leave.
Suddenly there was some commotion near the front entrance and James Potter stepped into the hallway. He had been at a Quidditch game, but since he was also a trained auror, he was helping out. He greeted me, "Well, hello, Rosie! Hope you are doing better." Then he walked to my dad's office.
It was good that they had some extra hands I guess.
Okay, so i hope you enjoyed this, if you love ScoRose, then you m,ay wanna check out my other story: Thorns We Must Pas. It's pretty good, in my humble opinion! Anyway, feedback is love!
