Draco stretched out and let out a yawned as he stepped into his shared office. For a change he actually beat Weasley in, or so he had thought, for Weasley rushed into the office, a huge grin upon his face.
'It's working,' Weasley said.
Draco blinked for a moment, stunned for a moment wondering what his partner was talking a load of waffle. When he realised the waffle made sense. Weasley was talking about the tracking system.
'About time, we've been working on it for the last month -'
Weasley shrugged, 'trail and error, these things take time and cannot be rushed, according to George and Ria anyway. Speaking of Ria, how are things.'
Draco rubbed at his face, 'things are fine in general, but Ria won't let me buy anything for the twins - I keep telling her we should sort out a nursery and get things in for it, but she won't listen to me. Keeps saying it's too soon. Rate we're going, we'll have nothing ready. I can understanding not wanting to know the sex of the twins but not getting anything!'
Weasley looked as though he was having second thoughts, before saying, 'we'll there's a good reason for that.'
Draco rolled his eyes. 'Yes, I know, Theo.'
Weasley grimaced, 'Theo meant a lot to Ria, yes.'
Draco thought over Weasley's words, he had heard them before, or at least something similar ... she lost more than a husband. Which made Draco think of something else Granger had said.
'What happened after her capture, after she had been found.'
'I can't answer that,' Weasley replied.
'I was talking out loud,' Draco said, 'I know you can't - wait, we've been talking about Theo, about her capture and you told me you had made an Unbreakable Vow.'
'I did.'
'Then how can you ... it was never about what happened during her capture - it was what happened after, that's what you made the vow over.'
'Yes,' Weasley shrugged, 'don't see no point in trying to lie, you'll see right through me.'
Draco thought over everything Ria had told him, and looked blankly at Weasley, 'Was it something to do with her fake death.'
Weasley raised his eyebrows, 'you know about that?' Draco said nothing he watched Weasley reactions closely, for any of his usual signs for lying. 'No it's not.'
So if it wasn't about her apparent death, then what was it?
'If I was you, I'd talk to her about it, instead of trying to work it all out yourself. Remember what happened when she found out about her death threat?'
Draco unconsciously rubbed at his back, not only had he been throw onto the couch for two weeks, but he had been on the receiving end of a well placed stinging hex, that he could have sworn lasted longer than usual, 'yes.'
'Well I did tell you -'
'Don't go there, I was trying to not stress her out, which by the way, thanks for the restless sleep, it takes ages for Ria to relax now-'
'Don't want to know,' Weasley said holding his hands up.
'Too late, you got me into this mess, you can help me -' a sudden thought came to Draco, 'so if we've got the device working ...'
'Yes, but we don't know who we are looking for -'
'We don't know who to look for Weasley, think for a moment. We need to know who they are looking for ...'
Weasley stared at him wide eyed, 'think you could - you know.'
'Please, I wasn't put into Slytherin for nothing,' Draco replied, 'but it will need to look like something - nothing suspicious ...'
Weasley smirked, 'I can think of something ... leave it to me.'
