Chapter 7
Chapter Seven: Confusion
Justin Finch-Fletchley sat back in his chair and stared at the letter an owl just delivered. He’d checked the family seal again and sure enough it hadn’t changed. The Zabini Family Crest was emblazoned on the envelope and letter-head.
His first thought was to throw the letter away. He was a respectable businessman and no slimy Slytherin is gonna sway his loyalty. Loyalty was the groundwork of his house. Most people think that Hufflepuffs were weak, but their dedication to fairness and hard work keeps most of them in office.
After the war Justin decided to become a Private Investigator for both the Wizarding and Muggle Worlds. Being Muggleborn had it’s advantages in that regard. Now, five years after the Final Battle he’s one of the few respected PI’s in the Wizarding World.
Looking at the crest one more time, Justin broke the seal and began to read.
*****
Harry stayed away from Grimmauld Place for three days trying to gather his Gryffindor courage to speak to Draco. In that time his contact had returned with good news for the pack that set the village into celebration. The next morning he could no longer put off his responsibilities in London.
After saying his goodbyes he apparated directly to Grimmauld Place. Stepping through the door he smiled as he heard the distinct sounds of childrens laughter coming from the kitchen. He missed them all.
Stepping through the door to the kitchen he saw all the children gathered around the table making shapes in cookie dough. Ella and Draco stood at the sink cleaning the used dishes and the other parents were supervising the children. Harry stood in the doorway looking at Draco without the others knowledge.
He noticed some tension in the blond’s shoulders and bags under those blue grey eyes. He felt a sudden desire to wrap him in his arms and never let him go.
One of the children must have noticed him because a scream of, “RAVEN!” and he felt a body collide with his legs. Five year old Elnora wrapped her tiny are around his legs, “Raven’s back!”
All eyes turned to him as he scouped Elnora up into his arms. Ella smiled at him, “Welcome back.”
“Thank you, how have things been?”
Ella pulled an envelope from within her robes handing it to him, “Seryna and her son are settled in their new home and Robin would like to speak to you as soon as possible.” She cast a sidelong glance at Draco and Harry knew it had something to do with him.
Harry had noticed the blond stiffin when he came into the room. He sighed. He knew Draco would be upset since he left with no word after their kiss.
With a sigh of regret he took the envelope Ella handed to him to his office and opened it. The top page was the report of Seryna and Hayes Wellburne, who were placed in a small wizarding community near Cambridge. Her ex-husband residing in Azkaban on charges of spousal and child abuse.
The following pages were reports on Blaise Zabini and other relevant information for keeping the man away from Draco and Aiden. Scanning through the pages he decided to make a floo call.

Two hours later he was knocking on a door. It opened and a frail house elf greeted him.
“Hows may I be helping you?” the elf said.
“I am here to see your mistress.” Harry asked the little creature.
“If you be following me, good sir.”
The elf led him down the hall to a modest sitting room where Narcissa Malfoy sat despondently, staring into the fire. Her eyes jerked up as they entered the room.
“Mr. Potter, what a surprise.” She rose shakily to her feet. Harry noticed her red rimmed eyes, she’d been crying. As she approached he also noticed she limped.
“Mrs. Malfoy, please sit down, you look tired.” Harry gestured for her to retake her seat. In truth the woman look beat, literaly. He could just barly see the tell tale bruise on her shoulder. He had a feeling that Blaise had come by and taken his anger out on Draco’s mother.
After she sat back down Harry took a seat opposite her. “I have come to discuss a mutual acquaintance. He misses you.”
Narcissa stared at him, confused. “Who…?”
“The Dragon has come to the House of Black.” He said simply.
Narcissa gave a strangled sob and her head dropped to her hands covering her face, “He is safe then?”
Harry got up and sat beside her draping an arm around her shoulders gently, “They are safe and would like to see you.”
Her head jerked up, “I can’t, my house arrest…”
Harry produced a folded sheet of parchment from within his robes and handed it to her. Unfolding it she read it and gasped.
“I can go? To my family home?”
Harry gave a nod. He had to pull a lot of strings to get his request and was now indebted to the Head Aruor, who happened to be Tonks. Basically the paper said that her House Arrest location is being transferred to #12 Grimmauld Place and she would be under the supervision of Harry Potter.
“How can I ever repay you?” She wept.
“One thing at a time, Mrs. Malfoy. For starters how about you get one of your house elves to pack some clothes and we will be on our way.”
She smiled as she called for her house elf. After giving the little creatures it’s instructions the two of them went to the floo and headed to ‘Paddy’s Place’.
