Within a short walk from Diagon Alley in that non-magical part of London lived a lovely young witch who was intimately familiar with non-magical folk. Miss Hermione Granger, a Muggle-born and decorated heroine of the Second Great Wizarding War, had formerly been one of the top caseworkers in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the Ministry of Magic. After furthering the cause for the better treatment of house elves during her initial years of employment, she returned to her first passion.

Research.

Hermione currently worked as a Special Investigator assigned from the Ministry Archives. She was the liaison between the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and the even larger Department of Magical Law Enforcement. As a testament to being the brightest witch of her generation, she was the only female with a cubicle in Auror Headquarters, situated there so she could assist the Aurors and Hit Wizards with background information for their cases.

She was also the one slight problem with Draco Malfoy’s plan to remain the wizarding world’s most eligible bachelor.

Though it was inevitable that they discover this fact, neither of them knew this. They each went about, entirely ignorant of what the future would hold for them.

“My dear Harry,” said Hermione one day in a familiar tone of sisterly affection, “what is this latest case that has caused such a stir?”

“What makes you think there is a new case?” asked Harry.

“Truly, Harry” interrupted Ron, “you above others should remember that our best friend is a witch of singular intelligence.” He gave Hermione a wink, which caused her to blush.

“Indeed,” replied Hermione, “for I am not wanting in perceptiveness. I have noticed this past three hours the quiet whisperings from Auror to Auror.”

Harry sighed. “I confess I was going to bring this to your attention later today. There has been a disturbing new trade lately in Knockturn Alley. We have run into several cases involving cursed four leaf clovers.”

“How is this?” asked Hermione. “Four leaf clovers can be charmed, but never have I heard of one being cursed. Such a thing should not be possible.”

“We believe it to be the deranged work of an unstable or rogue leprechaun, possibly in league with Dark Wizards,” said Harry, handing Hermione a ribbon-bound parchment. “We could use your insight and connections within the magical creatures community to figure out the culprit’s motives. Here is your authorization to work on the case.”

“My understanding is that leprechauns are the most mischievous of the fair folk, but I have never known their antics to be malicious or illegal in nature,” said Hermione, accepting the parchment.

“My guess is that one of the little blighters got bored,” joked Ron. “You know what their kind is like.”

Hermione frowned at him.

Harry coughed. “Hermione, your contacts would be useful to this case. I’m assigning you to assist Ron, the lead investigator.”

“I thought Auror Malfoy specialized in those cases involving the fair folk,” said Hermione.

A dark look passed over Ron’s features, but was gone before Hermione could decipher it. She vaguely remembered something about Draco involving Ron in some scandal—specifics were never given—in which Ron’s career advancement had been badly damaged.

“He usually does,” said Harry slowly, “but Ron and I agree that if you are working on the case, then perhaps someone less inclined to pure-blooded partiality would be better suited as the lead investigator on the team.”

“I’m honored that you want me on the case, but I had no idea Auror Malfoy kept the prejudices against Muggle-borns. He’s never said boo to me since we’ve worked at the Auror office.”

“He minds his P’s and Q’s here,” said Ron. “I put up enough of a fuss that he’ll be let go with one wrong move on his part. It’s only a matter of time.” Ron smiled. “Plus, wouldn’t you rather work with me?” he asked with a wink.

Hermione blushed yet again.

“Of course, Ron,” she replied. He smiled genially in return at her.

“Good,” said Harry. He handed copies of a thick dossier bound in red Spello-tape to Hermione and Ron. “Here are all the details we have so far on the four-leaf clovers and their effects on the victims.”

Hermione tapped her wand against the tape and the parchments flew from the file pocket and arranged themselves neatly on her desk. Harry gave them a nod and a stiff little bow, then left the two of them to familiarize themselves with the investigation thus far.

Ron took one look at the tidy stacks of documents arranged on Hermione’s desk and ran a hand through his red hair, thereby giving himself a youthful and mischievous look. He skimmed quickly over the parchments, furrowing his brow and letting out a huff. Ron turned to Hermione and gave her a most charming smile and then rubbed his eyes.

“Let’s give ourselves an hour to review the files, then why don’t we go get some lunch and discuss the case. However, with the ball being held tomorrow, we might want to cut our day short and leave for the day from there.”

Hermione smiled forcefully; she wasn’t keen to the idea of cutting out of work early. Yet, Ron did have a point. There was much to do before the biggest ball of the year, which was taking place less than a day away.
“All right,” she said. “That sounds like an excellent plan.”
