"Detective, sorry to bother you, but there is a new case of murder in town."

"Yeah, well then tell them I am on my way. It seems that they cannot do a thing without me." she said in low dangerous voice.

The poor boy, the one they had sent after her, looked at the ground.

"It seems not madam" he whispered.

"It is miss. Miss Granger. Not madam, Bubbee" she replied taking her hat on her way out of the house."Now come along. Didn't you say there was a murder? Come and show me. Who died?"

"The Potter's madam. The doctors said the old man was ill, but I do not think so and neither does the police. Something is wrong with their diagnostics, ma'am." at her glare he hurried to correct himself."Miss. Sorry. But Malfoy is one of the doctors who examined him. So they want to keep the investigation a secret. That's why they had sent me to bring you in. Everyone knows that you can solve any mystery,crime, you're fatal for the criminals of any kind."

She chuckled.

"I see my reputation precedes me. I see where you're coming from. I have met with the old Potter the '40 New Year party. He was as healthy as one could be. And I know when I see a sick man."

"I don't doubt it miss. I saw him too. That's why the whole seems fishy. And that's why we need your help to catch the murderer. They were good people and they deserve for justice to be done."

"I agree. What else can you tell me?" Hermione asked already thinking of murder possibilities and going over suspects in her head.

" They were found in a pool of blood but it is not theirs. They have no mark, nothing. They are just dead."

Hermione's ears perked up at this.

"Really, that's interesting. Very interesting."

"Here it is. The crime scene" he said pointing to a black house on their left.

"This is not the Potter's house. This is the unlived house of the Riddles."

"Yes, curious, isn't it?" he said gesturing for her to go inside.

As they entered the yard, from the house emerged a blonde figure.

"Detective Granger," the woman said with a nod.

"Detective Lovegood," Hermione responded with a smile.

"Why are you here?"

"To solve the case, of course. I take it that you are here for these as well. Together once more for old times sakes?" she asked with a smile.

Hermione smiled as well.

"Of course. Ginny invited you?"

At the woman's affirmative nod she chuckled.

"Yeah, she is personally involved and she cannot investigate herself. She is under watch by the others. Even a suspect ones say."

Hermione frowned.

"Because of her involvement with the young Potter? Why would anyone think this? The old man and his wife loved her like she their own daughter. They couldn't wait for them to tie the knot."

"I know. That's what we have to find out. Who wants to blame Ginny?"

"Or," added Hermione" who wants to blame detective Weasley?"
