Chapter 23: Explaining
"What I don't understand is why Ginny attacked you," Remus said after Severus had finally been clear and able to use his hands.
"Because Koko found the handle and I pulled it out," Severus answered, "She must have walked in and saw that I was looking in the spot that she hid the knife. When she saw me pulling out she grabbed the first thing that she saw. Too bad it was the vase that I gave Lily before she died."
"But why did Ginny kill Mr. Short?"
"I believe that she was involved in something that was connected to him," Severus said, "Only Ginny knows how she managed to lure him but she stabbed him and then burned his body. She dumped the body at the site, knowing that it would be halted. She probably was hoping that it would be abandoned."
"Did she dump the body because she hated Dumbledore?" Nymph asked.
"I don't know but I'm hoping the Aurors can figure it out," Severus said.
"I think that smart cat of yours figured it out," Remus joked, "I mean, he knew where the knife was."
Severus had to grin about that and then Kingsley appeared. He sat down and looked at the three others that were at the table.
"Well it seems that we have a motive for Ginny killing Mr. Short," Kingsley said, "It seems that she was selling off her boyfriend's things that he had gotten from the vaults when he came of age. The vase couldn't be sold because lover boy here put a spell on it."
Severus glared at him.
"She met him in the one place that no one would expect and they had an argument and out came the knife. She then magically burned him so that no one would smell it and then dumped the body."
"She murdered him at Hogwarts," Severus told him, "Ginny wasn't of age yet and Hogwarts was the only place that she could do the deed without getting a notice from the Ministry of Magic."
"Poor Harry," Remus said, "All those things lost forever."
"Actually their all in Mr. Short's house," Kingsley said.
"Did Ginny say why she chose to place the burned remains on the site of the memorial temple?"
"Simple she hated Dumbledore and hated Snape's idea of building anything that was connected to him," Kingsley said, "She blamed him for everything, including how Harry had been treated. She also confessed that she planned on killing the Albus before Snape here was forced to."
"Well I'm glad that she was caught," Nymph said, "No telling what would have happened if she hadn't."
Severus shuttered and then he remembered something.
"I need to get going," Severus told them.
"Where are you going?" Remus asked.
"Oh just to force someone to do something that she swore she would do," Severus told them, "And tell Potter that I'm sorry about what happened to everything he had."
"Will do," Kingsley said and Severus left.
"What's this for?" his co-worker asked.
He had a costume with him and a big grin on his face. "Oh just forcing you to fulfill your promise. My cat did solve the mystery and you told me that you would dress up and tell people that you lick your feet."
She went pale. "I'm so not doing this?"
"Oh really, well I think that I can find a way to make you do it and it's perfectly legal."
She grumbled at him and took it. "I'm so going to pay you back for this."
Severus laughed and left her alone.
"I'll admit that this the funniest thing that I've ever seen in my life," Fred Weasley said as everyone laughed at the costume claded co-worker of Severus.
"Well sometimes I have some good ideas," Severus told him, "So how is the family reacting to the news?"
"Not well," George answered, "They think that you framed her."
Severus snorted at that.
"That's what I thought as well," Fred said, "I think that nothing will convince them that Ginny went off her rocker and killed that man."
"Well let me know the moment they see sense," Severus told them.
"Will do," Fred said and then Severus left.
