Draco stumbled into his shared office, feeling completely shattered, who knew having children would be so demanding. Weasley just laughed at the sight of him.

'You look a mess.'

Draco may have groaned in reply, but he also sent his partner a sneer to shut him up.

'Lily and Narcissa still not sleeping through the night I take it.'

'No,' Draco groaned once more as he slid into his chair, resting his head in his hands. It had been two months since the birth of the twins, and as much as he loved his girls he could really deal with having a decent night sleep for a change. 'Ria says they'll grow out of it. They will grow out of it won't they Weasley?'

Weasley laughed, 'yeah, some children take longer to do so, has she tried upping their feeds through the day? So they get the same amount just they wouldn't need the one during the night?'

'Not sure,' Draco said rubbing his temple, 'I'll ask her later or suggest it.'

'Well it worked for us,' Weasley shrugged, 'but well all babies are different.'

Draco looked over at Weasley's desk for the first time that morning, a copy of the morning's paper already upon his desk.

'Anything interesting?' Draco indicated to it.

Weasley grimaced, 'No not really.'

Idiot. Did Weasley really think that he couldn't tell when Weasley was lying?

'Nice try, what's in it?' Draco said, 'If you don't tell me, I can always take that one from you.'

Weasley did not look impressed with him, 'Fine, the trial details have come out - well the details they could print.'

Draco was slightly surprised by this information, 'But ... why did it take them this long, the trial was months ago.'

Weasley looked rather sheepish, 'Yeah... well I might have - I told them to bugger off and wait until the case details could be released. Seriously people just have no shame.'

'Oh course they were going to want to know, there was a killer on the loose that was making us run around in circles,' Draco pointed out, 'people want to know that they are going to be protected, and don't like it when we don't provide that.'

Weasley shrugged, 'Yeah, well, somethings are just best left alone ... we don't need another bright-spark thinking they can take ideas from a book and use them to their advantage.'

'No we don't,' Draco agreed.

'That's another thing ... the article was actually mostly about James Evans,' Weasley added, 'and well - the wizarding community is going to know who he is -'

'Or rather who she is,' Draco completed Weasley's sentence for him. 'Well we expected that to happen, you said it would.'

'I'd hoped that those details wouldn't - but well, with Pearson's confession and Ria working here for no apparent reason, it was bound to come out,' Weasley said shaking his head, 'Do you think you guys well be able to handle it? The added fame, she was already famous without everyone knowing about James Evans. Doesn't help that the latest book was her best seller. She won't be able to hide from it. There will be no more secrets.'

'I don't know about Ria,' Draco said smiling, leaning back in his chair without a care in the world, 'but I love the sound of that; no more secrets. Besides I can handle swarms of crowds and so can Ria.' Draco shrugged, 'We also have a little thing called magic to help us - a few "Notice Me Not's" - and we're all good.'

Weasley shook his head, chortling to himself, his smile faded as their office door burst open to reveal Bently looking very frazzled.

'Right, there's been a suspicious death,' Bently said, 'Carlton just sent a Patrnous - as the watches are currently being upgraded-'

Draco shared a quick glance with Weasley. Both of them already knowing the reason behind the upgrade.

'And he wants you to take Harianna with you because he says they're bloody stumped at how it could have happened. Reckon she'll help out?'

Draco groaned defeated already knowing the answer. Since everyone in the department knew how Ria had finally cracked their last case, requests to get her back had been frequent, Weasley chuckled and said, 'Well, you did say that you didn't want any more secrets. I guess we best go ask her, and see if she can get anyone to look after the twins - I'm sure my mother wouldn't mind.'

Draco shook his head, 'You're not helping Weasley - you're not helping at all.'

The end.
