Last Chapter
Hermione tried to grasp this information. They were not only investigating Draco but Harry and Ginny as well. It didn't make any sense.
"But why?"
Charlie ran his hand through his hair and sighed. He got up and began to pace back and forth. If he didn't come out and say it soon she was gonna throw something at him.
Now"Draco has been less than honest with the order about his activities. For instance he is not working for Hampton & Co."
"So what… he didn't tell you everything about his life."
Charlie ran his hand through his hair again. He watched her, trying decide if he should tell her or not. Inside Hermione felt empty, but she didn't show it. Draco had lied to her.
"He has been seen with several known death eaters."
Hermione felt like she had been slapped. He wouldn't do that! He loved her. They were getting married. She shook her head, trying to clear it.
"What about Harry and Ginny?"
"Harry has also been seen with several unsavory characters."
"BUT HE'S HARRY POTTER!!"
Hermione wanted to smack each and everyone of them upside the head. For gosh sakes, this was Harry Potter they were talking about.
"Wait you didn't say death eaters…what do you mean 'unsavory characters'?"
"Werewolves, Vampires, Giants…and I don't mean the nice ones."
"Oh…Ginny?"
"My sister has never been open about her thoughts but recently has been guarding them with extra precautions to keep everyone out."
"You suspect Ginny because she doesn't want you eavesdropping on her thoughts?"
"Its not just me…it's the entire order."
"Get Out!"
Hermione pointed to the door. She was concerned about what Charlie had said about Draco and Harry but she no longer cared. She was furious at the entire order for thinking such things of Ginny. Charlie didn't move.
"OUT!"
Charlie stared at her for a minute and then turned and left. Hermione groaned and then turned on the TV. She had the volume all the way down but the picture of the lady on the television looked familiar. Hermione stared at her for a moment before for realizing the lady was the one from her dream. She hurried to turn up the volume but only caught the end of the story.
"…was brutally stabbed this afternoon. The reason for this crime has not been announced. Glades Purkin's funeral will be held tomorrow at noon at …"
Hermione scribbled down the address. She might be furious at the order but she still had to look into this thing with Draco and see if her dream had been real.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The next day Hermione found Ginny wasn't willing to leave her alone for more than two seconds. Apparently Charlie had come back up to the house yelling about stubborn, selfish women and now Ginny was afraid he was going to stress Hermione and make her lose the babies.
"We can't let that happen again."
"I know Ginny, but it really doesn't seem like a threat. I'm sure Charlie has calmed down."
"No."
Ginny shook her head and sat down on the couch. Hermione sighed and stood up.
"Look I have to go to this funeral today."
"Whose funeral? No one we know died."
"Glades Purkin."
"Who?"
Hermione sighed and explained everything Charlie had told her the day before and about her dream. Ginny was shocked at what was said about Draco, dismissive about Harry, and laughed when she heard about herself.
"Draco had really seemed to change but I guess maybe he could be lying. Harry is always doing something questionable but it always turns out and me well…"
"Well what?"
"I'm pregnant!"
"Oh my gosh!"
Hermione jumped up and hugged Ginny.
"That's so amazing!"
"Yeah, I wanted to tell Harry first. That's why I've been blocking everyone. He doesn't get back for another week."
"Oh that's so great."
Ginny smiled and pulled her shirt down trying to straighten it. Then she stood up.
"Well it looks like we have a funeral to go to."
They grasped each other's hands and apparated to just outside the funeral. It was held in a tent on the edge of a field. On the other end Hermione could barely make out gravestones. They made their way inside the tent and sat down in the back row. They waited patiently as different people spoke, eventually it was time to view the body. They slowly made there way up and looked down at her.
"Look."
Ginny pointed to a small sunburst shape on her cheek. ( I know it doesn't leave any marks but pretend it does ok?)
"So it was a wizard."
The two of them quickly hurried away. On the way out Hermione bumped into a man. She looked up to find none other than Gregory Goyle.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
