Draco sent his owl to both Harry and Hermione. He asked them to meet at Hermione's home at ten in the morning. Hermione got the letter at seven in the morning and was excited as she wanted to see Draco again. She had difficulty sleeping last night as she was surprised at what had happened between them and so soon. She was looking forward to have some serious conversation with him. She got ready by nine and was waiting for Draco, drinking her morning cuppa when he arrived through floo. He was dressed impeccably as usual and he grinned wolfishly as soon as he spotted her in her smart dark green skirt and white blouse. She could not stop the smile that formed on her lips as well. She got up from the table in her kitchen and walked up to him. He gathered her in his arms knowing that she felt the same way that he was feeling right now. He kissed her thoroughly before letting her go. Hermione panted after the intense kiss. She smiled impishly as she realized that he truly did desire her. They stared into each other's eyes till Draco led her to the couch. They continued to snog one another without speaking. This was what they had wanted for years and now they had the time and the right partner to show their love to. Their tongues, teeth and lips tried to convey just how thirsty they were making small noises and trying to breath so that they did not have to stop kissing. Finally after ten minutes they parted, their lips swollen and red, their breaths panting and they had the most idiotic grins on their faces.
Hermione would have continued their snog session but she remembered in time that Draco had some news that he wanted to share with her and Harry. She asked what that was and he asked her to wait for Harry. In the meantime Harry wanted to speak with Hermione about Andrew and decided to floo in early. He did so only to find her in Draco's lap kissing him earnestly. He cleared his throat loudly which made the couple jump apart. He raised his eyebrow at Hermione who simply blushed and he shook his head and laughed. Hermione went to get them another cuppa and Harry took the seat opposite Draco. He stared at the blond who tried to smile tightly while thinking of a safe topic to open a conversation with him.
"Come on Malfoy we are all adults here. I know what you are worried about and you can relax because I do not mind Hermione being happy with you especially since I know that what happened with Rose was not your fault. You have my blessings though you do not need them. But I would be wary about Ron. You know how hot headed he is." Draco looked at Harry in shock. He then smirked and replied, "Glad to know that you approve Potter but yeah I know this will hit Weasley hard but there is nothing I can do."
Harry nodded and took the tea cup that Hermione had just brought him. She set the tray on the table using magic and then made Draco and herself a cup too. They drank in silence for a minute before Harry asked Draco about his letter. Draco then set about to tell them both about Michael and his relationship with Scorpius. Hermione was surprised. She had not known that Michael was a bisexual. Poor Rose did not have any idea and that is why they broke up. She was okay because she did know that Rose did not share her man and was possessive enough since her childhood, "I am glad she broke up with him. She did not like to share and was quite possessive of everyone in our family. Though your theory about having met the father of her baby at the Christmas might not be true. Maybe she met him after that and had an affair."
Draco nodded but replied, "I know but can’t you see Hermione, after she went outside to socialize, there was a change in her behaviour. As far as I knew her she wasn’t someone who would do that. I mean the break up must have hit her pretty hard so maybe someone special would have cheered her up. We need to find that man.”
Harry agreed, “Yes Mione, I think so too. We need to find that person and once we know who then we can get to the part about her being killed. The person must have had some grudge to do that. Maybe he was very possessive as well.”
Hermione nodded sadly thinking about Rose again. How she would have given anything to have her alive again! Draco sensed her thoughts and immediately suggested they move, “Right so now that we have established that there is a mystery person I was wondering that maybe we should visit Harry’s office and recheck all the memories he collected from the people close to Rose. I am sure something might come up. Maybe we did not look for it before. What do you say Harry?”
Harry was again surprised at the initiative that Draco was taking to catch Rose’s killer. He nodded and replied, “Of course, I think that is a great idea. And if you have enough time on your hands Malfoy you can actually connect and prepare a timeline so that we can know what happened when. What do you say?” He had a twinkle in his eyes and Draco groaned inwardly. Potter was teasing him. And before he could respond Hermione sort of shrieked out, “Me!...Me! I will do that… I know what happened when, so I will do that. I love to make sense out of things…you know…kinda keep it…you know…straight...something like that.” She blushed as Harry and Draco were grinning knowing that she loved to arrange things in neat order.
The trio went to Harry’s office and Harry gave them access to the pensieve and the vials connected to Rose’s case. There were many memories and it would easily take a day to sort it out. While Hermione was eager to find that person who might have been with Rose, Draco was dreading to see the memories for hours on end. He however knew that Hermione needed his support so he sent an owl to his office saying he was taking the day off. Hermione looked at him with gratitude and he made a move to kiss her when Harry spoke, “Ahh…ahh..ahh…children. Behave yourselves. This is my office not your drawing room. Now I will be going back to my office and starting my work. You both…I am trusting you to behave. I will come back at lunch time with lunch. Any special requests?” Hermione and Draco shook their heads and waved him goodbye. Harry left them in the lighted room where the pensieve stood floating. Hermione looked at Draco as he caught his hand and squeezed it. She nodded as he poured the first memory from the vial and they both dove in.
Peter sat beside Michael on his couch in his flat. He had taken half a day off as he was exhausted from their activities at night. He did not get a chance to speak to him at all. He needed to do it now or else he would never be able to gather the courage to tell Michael how he felt about him. Peter took his hand and smiled as Michael looked at him quizzically, “Mike, I need to say something to you. Now I know that you have decided to do something about your new relationship but I think you need to hear this before you make your decision final. I need to tell you how I feel about you. And that is…that…what I am trying to say is that …oh Merlin…why is this so hard? Mike I...I love you and I don’t want you to leave me. I want to be with you for life…for”
Before he could continue Michael removed his hand and interrupted him, “You are joking right? I mean you LOVE me…now…now when I have decided to be with someone else…mighty convenient don’t you think? I mean we were together for more than a year Peter! And not once did you ever make me feel like I was something you wanted for life. We were always meeting in secret, away from people, in dark pubs, alleys, at night. Never did you ever introduce me as your friend to your family. All you did was fuck me when we were alone and then tell me sweetly that I was the only one you fucked and that we should keep this a secret because you had to get voted as Minister of Magic. Not once…not once did you ever consider my feelings about our relationship. I felt like your dirty secret…I mean the first few months were great and exciting but then I needed something substantial and now when I am getting that you want me to stay with you! How selfish can you be?”
Peter looked at him flabbergasted and speechless as Michael passionately spoke about his feelings. He HAD never considered his feelings, that was true but lately he had been thinking about him a lot. He needed to know that. “Mike please…it was not like that. Our relationship was new to me as well. I did not know how to act…this was my first relationship with a guy. I mean come on...I was scared…I did not know how deep my love was for you. I was thinking that maybe this was all attraction and lust. I did not even realize that I was in love with you until we broke up. And since then I have been trying my best to win you back but…but you…I know I hurt you and I am sorry for that but please…please think about us before you choose someone else. We have something beautiful here Mike. I don’t want to lose you because of my stupidity. I am sorry. Please come back to me…I love you Mikey. I love you so much!” Peter pleaded with tears in his eyes.
Michael looked at him with a cold face, emotionless and shook his head sadly, “You are too late Peter. I wanted everything that you want now. I am the Minister of Magic’s son and I knew the stakes when I agreed to sleep with you. I was putting my dad’s career in jeopardy when I wanted to be with you, be seen with you. I wanted us to live together. I even gave up Rose for you and for what? After some months you come up with the excuse that you need to keep a clean image and so we should break up! Like I was someone not worthy to be mentioned along with you! I am Michael Shacklebolt for merlin’s sake! I am a filthy rich pureblood with pristine bloodlines and I was ready to give all that up for your love. We used to have something beautiful Peter but you ruined it when you chose your career over me. S don’t ask me to choose you over someone who is ready to be with me as a friend, who does not mind being gossiped as my boyfriend in the press. He is someone who is bold enough to want me and say it to his family as well. I am lucky to have him in my life.”
Peter snorted and replied, “If you think Scorpius Draco Malfoy will be your lover in public then you are dreaming.” Michael looked at Peter in shock. He had never named Scorpius nor had he ever shown his affection for him in public. So how did he know?
Hermione shook her head to get rid of the fuzzy feeling of coming out of a memory. They had been watching memories for three hours now and it was almost lunch time. Draco poured another vial into the pensieve and looking at each other they dove into the memory with a sigh. They had been unable to find anything different in thememories of the Christmas party at Malfoy manor that Harry and his Aurors had collected. This was another one of them. Draco took Hermione’s hand as they landed on his ballroom floor. He knew every inch of that room. And he instantly was able to spot Hermione who was hiding in the corner of the room to avoid people and mistletoe in general. He was about to tease her when he saw someone in the dark passageway that led to the garden from the ballroom. That passageway was closed and he could not make out who that person was. He stared at that spot till Hermione asked with concern, “What’s the matter?”
Draco shrugged and told her about the shadowy figure. Hermione too looked at the spot narrowing her eyes and then the figure moved and they both gasped as Peter Patronelly came into view. Draco was shocked and spluttered, “What the hell is this guy doing in my party?”
Hermione looked at him as asked, “You mean you did not know he was there at your party?”
Draco snorted, “Hermione he is going to be the next Minster f Magic so obviously if he had come I would have welcomed him. He did not RSVP my invitation so I never expected him to show up. This is curious. Why is he hiding and from whom?”
Before Hermione could answer the memory moved and they saw Rose standing by the pillar on the outer edge of the room. She looked sad and forlorn. Hermione’s eyes teared up and she walked up to her daughter. Seeing her so close made her cry and Draco hugged her from behind and reminded her, “It’s not real. You need to control yourself. You can do this.” Hermione nodded as she had in the last twenty memories when she had seen different memories of her dead daughter smiling and laughing. She looked away and Draco gasped as he saw Michael walk up to Rose. Hermione heard his gasp and looked at her daughter and his ex-boyfriend. They could not hear what they were saying to each other as the music in the room and the all-around chatter was drowning their words. Hermione complained, “If only we could read lips. I cannot understand what they are saying to each other.”
Draco smirked at her and spoke, “I can tell you some words. When the Dark Lord was in our manor it was handy to know what the death eaters were saying to each other when we were out of sight. Gave us a lot of information. Let me see if I can put that skill to use. Hmm…He is asking her to speak to him. Rose is obviously saying no. She is shaking her head. Then he is saying that he wants to be her friend. Rose is angry….She is saying that she does not want to see or speak to him again. Wait…He…he is saying that he wants to be with her one last time to stay friends…he feels…bad…about…this. Rose is not answering…she is crying. Michael is hugging…He is saying something in her ear…wait…meet me outside! That’s it! He is asking her to meet him outside.” He looked at Hermione triumphantly and she laughed, pleased at his effort. They saw them walk away. While Draco wanted to follow Rose, Hermione caught his hand and moved with Michael. They saw the memory become hazy because the person was not paying attention to what was going on on that side but had registered the movement. Hermione waited as Michael walked towards the passageway from the ballroom to the garden. Both Hermione and Draco’s breath hitched as they saw Peter come out and meet Michael. He spoke something and then hugged him.
Draco snorted, “Well..well.. well…who knew they were friends.” Hermione shook her head in disbelief and spoke, “Don’t be daft Malfoy! Do you squeeze your male friend’s ass when you hug? They are clearly very close. You know what that means right?”
Draco looked at her slack-jawed, “Peter Patronelly is Michael Shacklebolt’s gay lover.” Hermione smirked and replied, “I guess now we now have a lead that was never followed before by Harry.” They got out of the memory and then keeping and arranging everything back in order, they left the hidden room to go into Harry’s office. He was not there.
Draco got Hermione a glass of water and kissed her forehead, “If you hadn’t followed Michael we would have never found out about them.”
Hermione shook her head and replied, “If you had never spotted that shadowy figure of Peter we might have not known he was at the party. I think we both did well. Now we need to speak to Michael about meeting Rose that day.”
Draco shook his head and spoke with a smirk on his face, “I beg to differ. I think we need to pay a visit to Patronelly… shake him up a bit and find out more and him and Michael. After all wasn’t he the reason why they broke up?” Hermione nodded in agreement and looked up as Harry entered his office with lunch.
