"I still do not understand why you of all people are the one in charge of her case. I mean, not to seem rude- but you are probably on the bottom of her list of people she would want to see. Not to mention you know nothing about her. Again, no offense, but in reality the tow of you honestly seemed to hate each other." Ginny Potter sat back on her swivel chair, a frown decorating her freckled face.
With a scowl, Draco ran a hand through his already disheveled hair, and looked down to his notepad, scanning the questions he still needed to get through. "I understand your concerns, Mrs. Potter, yet I remain the highest position within the Department of Missing Persons, and am also more familiar with her due to our few school years together. I know that we were not the most… Friendly of classmates, yet that does not mean that I did not notice some of her likes and dislikes, as well as her mannerisms, which could give one a head start in an investigation such as this one. Now, again with the questions. Has Miss Granger ever come to you with any problems or incidents recently that may have led to this disappearance?"
Looking over the Ministry workers shoulder, Ginny bit her lip and seemed to be in deep thought before shaking her head. "Nothing that comes to mind right away, Malfoy. She was having an on again off again courtship with Seamus Finnigan that started around a year ago, after her and my brother split… What else? Her work regarding the anti-muggleborn laws and prejudice was going well, not to mention SPEW, her organization for House Elves. Honestly? I can't think of a viable reason for her to leave, though I am sure she had one."
"You seem quite positive that she left of her own accord… Have you even entertained the idea of a kidnapping case, Ma'am?" Draco was jotting down information, and watching her questioningly- the very picture of professionalism.
"Of course not. She is the most adept witch that I know of, and she was also highly trained in combat arts. There is no way that she has been taken against her will. I mean- she has been notorious with her security after the death threats, -"
"Death threats?" Draco sat up straighter, alarmed at this revelation.
"Oh… Well yes. After the war, she was receiving numerous threats. More than both Harry and Ron combined. Saying she was going to pay for what she had done, and outlining her background, the fact she is muggleborn. Everything about her was picked apart. Some notes were just calling her out on how she didn't deserve the spot within the Golden Trio, and others were honest to Godric threats detailing how she would be murdered. She took it all in a stride though, with Harry and Ron to support her. Although…" Ginny paused, her face paling slightly. "I know she still receives some mail about how she isn't good enough and how her efforts within her organizations are pathetic… But I haven't talked to her about it lately. None of us really have. Harry and I with the wedding, and Ron with the split. None of us really have been talking to her lately. Maybe it was the pressure."
"Hmmm. So say she did leave due to the stress and pressure of her work and home life, where do you think she would go? Her parents have yet to see her either." Draco's mind was whirling with new information, slowly connecting dots.
"I'm not sure. She used to always talk about her grandparents farm though, I am unsure of where it is exactly…"
"Thanks for all your help, Mrs. Potter. I will be sure to keep you updated. And also, congratulations on your wedding. The two of you make a lovely couple." Draco nodded lightly, his expression stern as her stood to leave. "And if you think of anything else, just let me know."
"Of course… Thank you." Ginny lightly tapped her fingers on her desk, watching as the tall blonde left her office. Why in the world would Britain's most prestigious bachelor, slash billionaire want to be doing field work regarding Hermione, when he has not done any in the last three years.
