Chapter 23

"Don't make me scream. Draco is just in the next room." Hermione said very quietly. "Why the hell aren't you in Azkaban?"

"According to my wand, I didn't do it."

"Like hell you didn't. Who else would have better motive than you to kill Draco?"

"I don't know. That's why I need your help."

"You need my help? Why do you think I would be so damn willing to help you?"

"Because we want to know the same thing. If it wasn't me, then you want to know who did it, right?"

"Yeah I guess so. How are we going to find this stuff out without letting on that we're actually looking for it?"

"Harry's invisibility cloak."

"How is that going to help us?"

"That's the only way that I can figure someone came in here and tried killing Malfoy."

"But who could get it?"

"Ginny, Seamus, Dean, and Neville."

"I know Neville wouldn't do anything like that. Seamus and Dean are too stupid. Ginny…."

"She has to be a suspect Hermione. That's the only way."

'But she wouldn't? Would she?"

"She's a Weasley. When she's set her mind to something, it gets done."

"But she has no problem with Draco."

Meanwhile in the Potions classroom:

"Blaise, are you sure that we won't get caught?"

"Yes Ginny, I'm sure."

"But Ron's back at school, let's just say I know my brother and this won't go over well with him."

"IMPERIO"

Ginny's eyes were glowing red, but for only a moment. "There, that'll keep your mouth shut. I still love you Ginny, but this is for both of our safety. I can't do this." He whispered some words and Ginny's eyes glowed green and everything was back to the way it was before.

"Blaise, did you mean what you said. You still love me?"

"Gin, I always have, but ever since you hooked up with Potter, you haven't had the time of day for me until I came up with this little plan to get rid of your brother."

"Yeah, all that has changed now. I'm with you. The only reason I'm with Harry is to keep up pretenses that we are a happy couple and that he can trust me. So just in case we have to borrow the invisibility cloak again, it won't be so hard."

"I love you Gin."

"I love you too Blaise."

They kissed with all the passion in them that they could ever have.

Back in the head's dormitory

Draco had just awoken from his nap when he heard voices out in the common room. He pushed open the door and to his surprise Ron was standing there. "Weasel, what the hell are you doing here? Mi, what the hell is he doing here? I thought you were off to Azkaban about to get the dementor's kiss right about now."

"Calm down Draco, and I will explain everything."

When Hermione had finished, Draco was dumbstruck. "You mean, you actually want to help me find my would be assassin? How do I know that I can trust you?"

"You don't, but I'm going to have to earn that trust sooner or later. Whether I like it or not, you're Hermione's husband and father to her kids. I'm not, and I think that this little thing has put it into perspective for me."

"Ok, I can call a truce, for right now. But that's all it will be until you do earn my trust."

"I understand totally."

"Well, let's be off to have a look at Harry's cloak. I have a feeling we might be surprised at what we find out."

Have to leave you there. Sorry. I'll update ASAP, I promise.
