Confusion And Obsession

Chapter 13

Luna seemed more quiet then usual. In the week she had been at the manor she had laughed and generally been in great spirits. That changed after a white owl delivered a letter to her. After that, she didn’t smile as often and was lost in thought more then she usually was.

Cassie knew that Silver had noticed but was not sure what could have caused the sudden change. She did not know about the owl or letter.

Cassie did, she was there with Luna when she received it and saw her face pale and the tears fall. Harry Potter had shared his news with his friend and being the selfish git he was he didn’t think of Luna’s feelings. Never had and properly never would.

Cassie and Silver were well aware of their friend’s feelings for Harry. They had hoped that with time Harry might someday look at Luna in a new light. The news that Ginny was expecting hit Luna hard. Talking to Harry had instilled some hope in her that he would see Ginny Weasley for what she was. A mean spiteful girl who tormented people just as well as any Slytherin did. Why she had been placed in Gryffindor was a mystery. Maybe at the tender age of eleven she had been brave and honorable. That had changed as she had gotten older and now she was anything but.

“Luna, why don’t we go out? The three of us can go to lunch and do some shopping.”

“Are you sure you can leave Blaise alone for that long?”

Luna laughed at the fierce blush that graced Cassie’s face. Cassie didn’t mind Luna’s gentle teasing as long as Luna smiled again.

Blaise and Cassie were getting along wonderfully. So well in fact that Lady Zabini had very high hopes of another wedding soon. The hints that the Zabini matriarch dropped were as subtle as muggle bombs.

“I am sure he can manage. I really like him, Luna. I liked him while we were at school and I like him more now. Do you think Silver would mind?”

“Silver would want to see you both happy. Blaise seems like a great guy.”

Luna turned away and Cassie realized what she did.

“I am sorry, Luna. I didn’t mean to bring up anything…..”

“I know. I just wish….I would never want harm to come to an unborn baby but I can’t help but feel that if Ginny wasn’t pregnant….”

“Ginny’s what?!”

They both looked at Silver who had come into the parlor that Cassie and Luna were sitting in.

“Harry wrote and told me the good news. Isn’t it wonderful?”

“Wonderful is not the word I would use. Is he sure? I mean Ginny could be lying.”

“Why would she lie about something like this?”

“Oh, I don’t know, maybe because she knew Harry was ready to dump her arse.”

“We don’t know that. They could be very happy with each other.”

“I don’t think so, Luna. But your right I think we should just be here for Harry when and if he decides to drop his dead weight.”

Cassie and Luna smiled at Silver’s description of the youngest Weasley child and the three women decided to go have some fun in Diagon Alley.

****************************************************************

It was mere coincidence that they decided to go to the same restaurant that Ginny was meeting her new ‘friend’. Silver spotted her first. Grabbing the arms of the other two they stayed back and waited. Silver watched as Ginny sipped her wine and ate her sushi.

One of Ginny’s favorite muggle foods and the only thing that Ron would not steal from her plate.
Silver gave Cassie and Luna a look as Ginny took another bite of raw fish. She pulled them out before Ginny noticed them.

“I knew it! That lying little bitch. She knows how Harry feels about family. He would never leave his child. She said the exact thing that would guarantee that he would never leave.” Silver was trying to stop herself from going in there and tearing out all that red hair.

No, she needed Harry to see this for himself. If Ginny could, she would spin the situation to make Silver look like the bad guy. That had happened enough in the past.

“Maybe she doesn’t know about the raw fish and pregnancy? It could be that it was an honest mistake.” Luna sometimes tried to hard to give someone the benefit of the doubt.

“No she knows. The first time we had it we asked the waiter and she said it was safe but that you should not eat if you were pregnant. Even if she forgot, what about the wine? Every witch knows that drinking is not only bad for the baby physically but can affect the baby’s developing magic.”

“What are we going to do?” It was the first thing Cassie had contributed to this conversation but it was the most important.

Silver looked at her friends then at the restaurant. “We find a way to nail the lying cow to the wall.”
They left and talked about the best way to handle Miss. Ginevra Weasley.

****************************************************************

Ginny was going to leave when Pansy sat down.

“What took you so long?”

“Let’s get one thing clear; I don’t answer to you or your brother.”

“Whatever just give this to Ron. You better hurry.”

Handing Pansy an envelope she got up to leave.

“What’s this? And why can’t you give it to him?”

“Don’t worry your empty little head about it, Parkinson. Just give that to Ron and you are one step closer to
getting your ferret back.”

“The sooner the better. This plan better work or you both will be very sorry.”

“Don’t threaten me. You are the one who needs help remember that. Now I have got to run, people to see, places to go, money to spend. Later.”

Merlin, Pansy hated that girl and her brother.

****************************************************************

Draco was sitting at a booth in the Leaky Cauldron with Blaise and Marcus Flint when he noticed that everyone was staring at the door behind him. Turning he noticed the women that caught everyone’s eye. Even some of the
witches were looking with a mix admiration and lust.

Especially at the witch in front. She smiled when she caught him staring. Next to him, he could sense Marcus eyeing the beautiful woman. Blaise had his eye on the witch who walked in last. She was very pretty but could not hold a candle to the girl in the front.

Draco felt Blaise knock into his shoulder. Blaise was scowling and Draco knew he did not appreciate the attention Draco was paying the newcomer. That was his problem. As much as Draco loved Blaise like a brother there was no was that Draco could ignore the call this witch was sending his way.

When she licked her lips, Draco had to discreetly adjust his robes to hide his erection. Blaise would have a fit if he suspected.

When she walked over, Blaise let out an irritated sigh.

“Draco, you agreed. No messing around. This is not gonna happen.”

The beauty pouted at Blaise and made herself at home next to Draco. Draco wanted to rip Flint’s face off for looking.

“Hands off, Flint.”

“What? I am just taking in the scenery.”

“Ya well, she happens to be mine so no looking.”

She laughed and kissed his cheek.

“Possessive, much? And the wedding is not for a few more weeks.”

Draco placed a finger on her chin and placed a quick kiss on her lips.

“I don’t care. You are mine and don’t you forget it.”
Silver was looking into his eyes and Draco was tempted to drag her upstairs to one of the rooms the inn had.

“Only if you are mine too.”

“From the first moment I saw you.”

Blaise made a gagging sound. “Alright, that’s enough. If I have to listen anymore I might be sick.”

“Hey, I let you go on and on about Cassie and how great-”

The hand over his mouth silenced him and Blaise’s face made him chuckle.

Cassie blushed and Luna looked on with a dreamy/satisfied look on her face.

Silver smiled and was thrilled her brother liked her friend.

“Well, you can bet I won’t give you a hard time, brother dear. I think it’s great.”

“Thanks, I think. So, not to change the subject but why are you here? Are your guards with you?”

“Yes, they are. Sitting there trying not to look out of place.”

“Silver, please-”

“I am being good. I didn’t lose them did I? Now you boys get back to …whatever you were doing and Luna, Cassie and I will go on about our business.”

Draco watched her walk away, her hips swaying delicately, and noticed Marcus staring at Silver’s arse.

“If you want to keep your eyes in your head I suggest you stop looking at my girl.”
Marcus quickly looked away. He had been Draco’s friend long enough to know when he was serious.

****************************************************************

Silver was looking at the new books at Flourish and Blotts when she felt someone behind her. Turning around she saw who had joined her in the aisle.

“Harry! Oh, I am so glad to see you.”

Harry smiled and took her hand.

“Hermione, I need to talk to you. Can we go some where?”

“Is it about Ginny? What you told Luna?”

There was a hint of confusion in Harry’s face then it disappeared quickly. Silver’s alarms went off and she looked around to see where Luna and Cassie were. Not seeing them or her guards, she was starting to panic.

“Harry, Luna is here to. Let’s find her alright? Then we can all catch up.”

“No, I don’t think so. I need to talk to you alone.”

Silver jerked her arm out of his grasp and backed away.

She was about to yell when Harry, or whoever he was, covered her mouth with his hand.

“Shall we go now, Sweetheart?”

Silver gasped as she realized. Ron. Oh, dear Merlin Ron had her.

****************************************************************
After Marcus had taken off, Blaise had agreed with Draco that finding the girls would be more fun then anything else.

Walking past the window of the bookstore, they saw Luna and Cassie looking at some books and laughing when they came to a book with Harry on the cover.

Draco suddenly felt this knot in the pit of his stomach when he saw the Silver was not around.

Blaise was scanning the area as well.

“Cassie? Where is my sister?”

Cassie dropped the book and rushed further in the store. One of Silver’s bodyguards came around the corner.

“She is over there with Potter.”

“What!!?” Draco bellowed.

He ran rushed through the store with Blaise and the others following.

“Silver? Where are you?”

****************************************************************

“Now we are going to leave and talk about your behavior okay?”

Ron, still looking like Harry, walked her backward toward the back of the store.

“SILVER!”

She closed her eyes in relief as Draco’s voice boomed, shattered the silence.

Please, Draco help me.

****************************************************************

When Draco saw Silver being held by Potter he saw red. Potter had his hand on her mouth and a wand to her throat.

“Potter! What the bleeding fuck do you think your doing?”

“Harry, what is going on?” Luna watched in horror as Harry held a wand to her friend with a crazed look in his eye.

“Let my sister go and I won’t kill you, Potter.”

“Your sister? You don’t give a damn about her, Zabini. I am the only one who can take care of her. Everyone back away.”

Draco saw the fear in Silver’s face and his heart wept that she would know the pain of betrayal yet again. He had promised to protect her. Merlin, he would never forgive himself.

“I am just taking what belongs to me.”

Draco then realized that the man holding his fiancé was not the boy who lived.

“Weasley.”

The others looked shocked at Draco. Then they too came to the same conclusion.

“If you think you are taking Silver anywhere you are crazy.”

“Malfoy, I should just kill you now. That would solve everything.”

That’s when things became confusing.

Ron moved the wand from Silver’s throat and pointed it at Draco.

Silver’s knee’s started to buckle and she slid slowly to the floor. Ron looked down to see what Hermione was playing at and then felt himself go down as Blaise’s fist went into his face.
Draco rushed to catch Silver before she hit he ground.

The panic started then, customers stared pushing and screaming at the wizard who hit their hero. Blaise and Cassie tried to explain as the group of on-lookers stared to overtake them. Luna and Draco tried to revive

Silver who was out cold.

As the crowd started to calm down, Draco realized that Weasley got away. Again.

****************************************************************

No this could not be happening! He was so close. That bastard had ruined it. Making his way down the alley, he
felt the change coming on. He couldn’t see with his glasses so he ripped them off his face. His hair started to go red and his clothes started to feel too tight.

Damn it!

He tried to calm himself down as he entered his room. He made it in before the worst of the transformation. He slammed the door and looked into the mirror above the dresser. He was himself again.
Now what? Harry was sure to find out what happened. Ginny would be angry that the hair she collected had gone to waste. Parkinson would be lived. This was such a good plan too. Ron was man enough to admit that he rushed
things. He should have waited until a better opportunity presented itself. When he had gotten Harry’s hair from Pansy, he could not resist using some to go out for a while. He had been stuck in this little room for so long that he needed to taste some freedom. Seeing Hermione had been mere luck.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm down. Okay, well time for Plan B.

****************************************************************

Harry walked into his vault at Gringotts. He needed to find a ring. He was proposing to Ginny tonight. Ginny wanted to do it right away so that the baby’s birth less then nine months from the wedding would not be commented on too much. He really didn’t think Molly would mind. As long as the marriage took place that was all anyone cared about.

He found the ring he was looking for. It was not his mother’s but he really didn’t want to give her that one anyway. Ginny had seen his mother’s ring once and commented on how small it was. She wanted something flashier and so he picked this one from the Black family jewelry case he had inherited.

As he shut the door to the vault and the goblin led him out he thought about contacting Herm-, umm Silver. That would take some getting used to. Maybe Silver could help him sort things out.

****************************************************************

Draco had apparated with Silver in his arms, still unconscious to Zabini Manor. He laid her on the bed as Blaise and the girls appeared.

“Mama is calling for the healer.”

Blaise’s words didn’t penetrate Draco’s mind. All he could think about was the fact that he could have lost her. Silver could have been taken. He sat on the bed and kissed her forehead.

He had to do something. This could not go on, Silver living in constant danger.

When the healer came in and asked everyone to leave Draco almost lost it. Blaise led him out and tried to calm him down.

“Draco, let the man do his job. Silver will be fine. She is safe.”

“No thanks to those bloody guards. Merlin, Blaise, he could have-”

“But he didn’t. We were there and she is safe. Papa is dealing with those incompetent arses.”

While waiting the only sounds coming out of the group was Luna and Cassie’s soft sobs. The shock of seeing their friend in harm’s way and the waiting to find out if she was all right was too much to deal with. They were in the hall outside Silver’s room waiting for Avani and the healer to appear. Blaise was trying to comfort the girls when his mother opened the doors.

“Draco? You should come in.”

Draco went white as he saw the look on Zia Avani’s face.

What was going on?

Chapter 14

Draco walked in and saw Silver lying on the bed. She had been placed under the comforter and she had her eyes closed. She looked so small and helpless, not at all like the fighter Draco knew her to be.

Zia Avani sat on the edge of the bed and was caressing Silver’s forehead.

She looked over at Draco and he could not decipher the expression on her face.

“Zia?”

At the sound of his voice, Silver opened her eyes. Tears began to roll down her beautiful face.

“Silver, baby, are you alright? What is wrong?”

Draco went to her and kissed her hand as her mother called the healer over.

Draco was now very worried and his heart felt like it was in his throat.

“I…I am so sorry, Draco. I didn’t mean for this to happen.”

Silver sobbed as Draco tried to comfort her.

“Hey, what are you talking about? This is not your fault. I promise you, we will find Weasley-”

“No, not that. Draco, please don’t be angry.”

She was sobbing so hard that Draco could not understand her. Ignoring the other two in the room, he climbed in
the bed with her and held her against his chest. He cooed and whispered in her ear rocking her back and forth trying to comfort his angel.

“Draco, we will need to tell Silver’s father and brother the news. Not to mention your parents.”

“Tell them what news? Would someone please tell what is going on?”

The healer walked around the bed and stood in front of Draco. When Silver spotted him, she started to cry harder and clung to Draco desperately as if trying to keep him from leaving.

Avani shushed her and kissed her cheek whispering in her ear how much she loved her.

“Lord Malfoy, I ran many tests on your intended bride. She has been in a stressful situation and when I arrived
she was still unconscious.”

“Just tell me, what is the matter with her? Did he hurt her?”

“No, physically she is doing wonderfully. She needs to remain calm, stress free, eat, and sleep properly. I will come by-”

“I don’t understand.”

Silver stopped crying and when he turned to face her, she told him what the healer had found out.

“Draco, I’m pregnant.”

Silver watched as the emotions crossed Draco’s face. First shock and then the look of total wonderment. He said nothing as he placed the palm of his hand on her stomach.

Silver placed hers on top and together they entwined their fingers.

Draco turned to the healer and started to interrogate him.

“That animal didn’t hurt it did he? Silver and the baby are okay? Please tell me that they are alright.”
He healer smiled at the expected father as he answered his questions.

“Everything is just fine. Miss. Zabini is not very far along in her pregnancy and she is a very health woman.”

“Draco? Are you angry with me?”

“Angry? You are having my baby. Our baby. I love you so much.”

The healer left after going over his instructions with Avani.

She showed him out and then watched her daughter and Draco on the bed.

She knew she should be angry or at least disappointed but she could not bring herself to feel that way. Yes, her daughter was with child and not married but she could see the love this couple had for each other. The way Draco looked at Silver; she knew that he would love her forever.

Avani truly believed that Silver and Draco were meant to be together. Now, however was the hard part. There was a chance that Celso and Blaise were not going to happy. Hopefully, they would be calm enough to understand that Draco and Silver were going to be married and while this child was unplanned, still it was a blessing.

****************************************************************

Avani excused herself and went to reassure everyone that Silver was doing well.

Draco and Silver spent the next few minutes just in silence looking at their joined hands lying on her stomach.

“We are having a baby. I can’t believe it. When?… I mean when did it happen?”

“The healer said I was about four weeks so the night of the ball, the first time. I will need to be examined more thoroughly soon.”

“I will make sure you are seen by the best. I want a little girl just like her mother.”
Silver laughed. “I want a handsome son. With beautiful grey eyes and white blond hair.”

“We can have a son next time. I want a little girl to spoil.”

“Oh, I can see you wrapped around her little finger.” Silver giggled as a thought came to her.

“What’s so funny?”

“Just trying to imagine you meeting her boyfriends.”

“Boyfriends? Nobody said anything about boyfriends. I will hex any wizard who thinks about coming anywhere near my daughter.”

Silver was now reminded of their problem.

“Draco, what are we going to do? What will my father and Blaise say? What do you think your parents are going to say?”

She started to cry again and Draco kissed her temple and hugged her tightly.

“Shhh, remember what the healer said. You have to remain calm and daddy is here to make sure you take care of
his princess.”

“Princess, huh? Well, you better hope it is a girl or he is going to need some therapy when he is older.”

“Ha, ha, very funny.” Draco kissed her lips sweetly and moved to leave the bed.

“Where are you going?”

“You need to rest and I need to…let everyone know what’s going on.”

“You are going alone? That’s not fair. We are in this together I should be there too.”

“Absolutely not. You don’t need that stress. I will handle them and then I will come back to check on my girls.”

My girls.

Draco loved the way that sounded. She was having his baby. It was amazing to think about. It didn’t even cross his mind to perform a contraceptive spell when he was with Silver. With other girls he would make sure it was done before they even got hot and heavy. Even after they had made love he had not thought about it. Knowing that the woman you love was nurturing a piece of you in her womb was….beautiful.

He could not wait until she was big and round with his child. Everyone would see that she belonged to him.
As Draco walked through the manor to Zio Celso’s study, he became pensive.

Ronald Weasley had put his dirty, filthy hands on Silver. He could have hurt the baby. Draco filled with rage at the thought that Silver could have been taken and made to lose his daughter.
He needed to do something now. Waiting for Weasley to try to get to Silver again was not an option.

****************************************************************

When Draco entered the study, everyone in the room was questioning Avani. His parents had arrived and he was glad he could get this over with. He wanted no stress on Silver everything needed to be perfect for her.

“Draco, darling, how is she? We are so worried.”

“Don’t be, Mother. She is going to be fine.”

He turned to the other in the room. “We need to find him now. This cannot happen again.”

Celso agreed. “Her two guards have been fired. Incompetent idiots.”

Cassie and Luna were missing Draco noted.

“Are the girls around? I wanted them to sit with Silver.”

“They are up in Cassie’s room. They had something to take care of. Should I go sit with her?”

Draco thought for a second and decided that would be best. Blaise was the one that Draco was the most nervous about telling, best to get the parents out of the way first then tell his friend.

“Would you, Blaise? I will go up soon and then you and I can talk.”

When Blaise left, Draco faced the parents.

“What is it, Son? Is she really all right? We can have another healer come look at her just to be safe.”

“No, Father, she is fine. She just needs rest. I do need to speak to you all and I hope that you can be
supportive and not give us a hard time with this.”

Avani stood by Celso and whispered in his ear. “Please, just listen and know that he loves her with everything in him.”

Celso was worried and hearing his wife’s words worried him even more.

“Silver is going to have my baby.”

The room got so quite that Draco thought he imagined saying it aloud.

“What? You got my sister pregnant?”

Draco turned and saw the Blaise had come back in the room.

“Blaise, I-”

For the second time that day, Blaise punched someone in the face.
Lucius and Celso were holding him back as Draco got off the floor.

“You promised you wouldn’t use her! How the hell could you do this?”
He struggled with the older wizards in an attempt to get to Draco again.

“I love her, Blaise and she loves me. I am sorry you are angry with me but I am not sorry she is pregnant. I could never regret a child with the woman I love.”

They let Blaise go when it became clear that he was calming down.
Narcissa used a handkerchief and started to wipe the blood off Draco’s face.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, I deserved it.”

“Yes you did. If you think you are getting out of marrying my sister-”

“Getting out of? Blaise, I love you like a brother but you are out of your fucking mind. Nobody and I mean nobody is coming between Silver and me. I am marrying her and couldn’t be happier that she is carrying our baby.”

“Ya, well, just so you know.”

Lucius and Celso agreed that while not the best timing in the word they could not deny that an heir, a grandchild, would be wonderful.

Narcissa and Avani were also thrilled. Avani felt like it was her chance to be there for Silver. She couldn’t watch her daughter grow up but she could be there for her grandchild.

Narcissa was crying tears of joy. After all that the Malfoy family had gone through, after all they had done, she was not sure her son would ever be happy. Silver had given him a chance to show her the kind of man that he was inside. She would forever be grateful to Silver for that and now she was bestowing a child upon him. Narcissa’s mood soured when Draco brought up Weasley.

“Weasley needs to be found. I will not have my child and her mother in danger and as long as he is free Silver will always be vulnerable. While she is very strong and capable of taking care of herself, Weasley could catch her unexpectedly, again.”

“I think I have an idea.”

Nobody heard the door open and Cassie walk in. She had heard most of what was going on and after hearing Draco speak about the red-headed git an idea popped in her head.

“Cassandra, you should not be involved in this. That man is crazy and you could get hurt.”

“Thank you, Blaise for worrying about me but we have to do something. Draco is right. Ron will never leave her alone. He is mentally unstable and dangerous. Silver needs him out of her life and the whole wizarding word needs him locked up. Please, just hear me out.”

The group listened to her idea working out the kinks and making their own suggestions.

****************************************************************

Harry was sitting on his bed going over how he was going to propose to Ginny. She wanted it done today and Harry was tempted to just give her the ring as a done deal. It was not like she didn’t know it was happing today or that she was going to say no.

He wanted to talk to Luna but she had not written in return to his last letter. He hoped he didn’t run her off with all his problems.

As Harry was trying to think an owl appeared on his windowsill. Harry rushed over when he saw that it was Luna’s owl.

Opening the letter, he noticed there was a pouch on the other leg so he removed that too. He gave the owl a treat and it flew out the open window.

Harry,
You need to know about this. While both of the vials contain memories you have a right to see you may feel that I am overstepping my bounds as your friend. Please, understand that I had to do something. I can no longer stand by and watch you be used. If you do not contact me after seeing these memories, I will understand that you no longer consider me your friend. I hope it does not come to that. I care about you so much and want you in my life.
Your friend forever,
Luna

Harry shook out the bag and caught the bottles in his hand.

What could Luna have seen that she would send the memory to him?

Grabbing the pensive off the top of the closet, he poured the first one in.

He saw Luna, Silver and Cassandra Whitehall go in to a restaurant. Looking around he noticed Ginny sitting at a table by herself. Is that what Luna saw? He didn’t understand until he heard Silver talking to Luna and he saw what Silver had.

What was going on? Why would Ginny be endangering his kid? As the memory went on and Harry listened to the conversation outside, he knew. Ginny…Ginny might be lying.
He pulled himself out and collapsed on the bed. What should he do now? Was it possible that Ginny was pregnant?

But what if she wasn’t?

He decided to see the other memory, maybe that had the answer.

Again, he saw the three witches and this time in a bookstore. He stuck by Luna, as this was her memory and wanted to see what she saw. Silver walked away and he grimaced as he saw Luna giggle over a book about him.
He clenched his fists when Zabini and Malfoy came in the store.

He was in a state of shock at what was happening, no what did happen.

What in Merlin’s name?

Harry saw himself holding Silver hostage. He saw the fright in her eyes.

“Weasley.” Harry looked at Draco. What was he saying?

Harry then understood. How was this possible? There was only one way. Harry felt the tears start to fall as he stumbled out of the pensive. There was only one way that Ron could have gotten any of his hair. Ginny. Dear Merlin, now what?

Harry went to his desk a pulled a piece of parchment out. He never thought he would do something like this but Silver was right. You needed to do what was right for yourself. The boy-who-lived was going to become the-man-who-was-living-his-life.

****************************************************************

Ginny had been out the whole day spending money. Life was good. Harry was going to ask her to marry him and she was on top of the world. She will admit that she almost lost her golden opportunity but she knew what buttons to push.

Walking into her room, she found Harry getting ready to leave.

“Harry, where are you going? We had plans.”

“I know I have to leave to settle something I will be back soon.”

Harry left before Ginny could stop him.

She started to put her new stuff away. Oh, well he would be back.

****************************************************************
Harry used a public fireplace at the Leaky Cauldron to get to where he was going.
Harry came out the other side to see a wand pointed at him.

“I suppose I can’t blame you for that.”

“I really don’t give a shit if you blame me or not. You need to prove to me who you are.”

“During the war you stayed at Grimmauld Place for a few days with your parents. Ron and Hermione were not there just Moody and me. We had an argument about something I can’t remember what but we hex each other so bad that Moody took both our wands for the rest of the night.”

Draco let his hand down but still held it to his side.

“I must say, Potter your letter surprised me. If it were not for the fact that you are willing to help find your former side-kick you would not be here.”

“Believe me I know. As I said in the letter, Luna sent me her memory of the bookstore. I know what Ron did and…
he needs to be stopped.”

“Yes, Potter he does. So what are you prepared to do? Silver was told me that you won’t go against the Weasley’s, yet here you are.”

“I will help you capture him. Capture him. He will not be killed. Not if it can be avoided. He…needs help.”

“Help? He needs to be locked away like the animal he is. So you saw a memory of him earlier. How about another? What to see what your ‘friend who just needs help’ is capable of?”

Draco used his wand a pulled out a silvery thread of mist from his head. Pointing it to the pensive on the table, he indicated for Harry to look. Harry went into the memory and saw Blaise Zabini open the door to Hermione’s flat…..
