"I am so sorry Hermione. I don't know what to say." Harry caught her hands and held them. Hermione looked at him with tears in her eyes. she was thinking about Rose, "She lied to me Harry. She had been lying to me from the start. Why would she do that? I did not earn her trust. She did not think I was trustworthy enough to tell me her secret. I failed as a mother. That girl in his memory was not innocent nor was she in love. She was prepared and she was determined. Rose planned this and she had a reason. I want to know that Harry. At any cost I want to know why my daughter had to seduce an older man to get pregnant and force him to marry her. There much that I need to uncover." By now Hermione had a serious look on her face and she was looking really pissed. Harry nodded at her and spoke, "You are right Hermione but I think I need to point out something to you."
Hermione looked at him confused, "What Harry?" Harry gulped before he continued, "That memory of Malfoy and Rose...it is incomplete. Don't get me wrong. The memory is true but ...you know I am a Auror and I have handled my fair bit of cases of sex crimes. Usually when a girl is given lust potion she remembers the starting and bits and pieces of things that happened during the assault. I have seen memories of many women and men who have been taken advantage of using lust potion but...Malfoy's case is different. He..He does not remember anything after Rose approached him. That means he has no memories of being...you know...taken advantage of. That would mean that either he has successfully repressed that memory into his mind or he was unconscious during the whole thing...Now...if he was unconscious one must beg the question...Was he able to perform enough to get Rose pregnant? Do you see where I am going?"
Hermione bit her lip as she realized what Harry was trying to tell her and she did agree with him. She looked at him with curosity and asked, "So how do we find that out? You know with what happened to Rose there is no way we can find that out."
Harry nodded and replied, "What if we catch his man Andrew? He seems to be the one who gave Malfoy the drink with Lust potion. Maybe he gave it to him knowingly. Maybe he knows who planned all this. That is the only clue we can follow as of now."
Hermione nodded and Harry got up and pulled her up as well. Hugging her he whispered, "Go home now Mione. You look so tired. I will send Ginny over if you want but I get the feeling that you want to be all alone. So just let me know okay?"
Hermione looked up at her best friend and smiled, "Thanks Harry. You know me so well. But I want to be there when you find Andrew. so let me know when you will interrogate him. okay?" Harry pursed his lips. he knew that would be breaking rules but knowing Hermione, she would probably get permission from the Minister of Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt himself. So he nodded and guided her to his office and then she took the floo to her home.
Harry sat all alone in his office leaning back in his comfortable chair thinking about Rose and what he had seen. He knew instantly that Andrew will give him some information but he also knew that who ever had carried out the initial investigation had been careless to not have checked if Andrew was in any way connected to Rose. But then Andrew had never been there when Rose was supposed to announce her engagement. Still those memories only raised more questions about Rose's behaviour and intentions. He sighed as he picked up his quill and started to file an official report of Malfoy's memories. These would be confidential and only seen by the Minister himself.
Draco landed inside his Manor and sat down on the nearest armchair in the drawing room. He felt really alone today. He squirmed as he remembered the memories that harry had seen with him. He had seen Hermione and that is why he had given in. He had wanted Hermione and when Rose became Hermione he had stopped fighting the power of the lust potion. He shook his head in defeat. He had given in so easily. He should have been strong but then being strong was never his virtue. He was weak and a coward, had been for a major part of his life. He wanted to change that and he would start by telling Hermione the truth. He remembered Andrew and realized that he had never questioned Scorpius about his friend. He should have done that the next day but after watching Rose leave his room, his mind was in a whirlpool and all thought about that young man had left his brain. He got up determined to talk to Scorpius about his friend, maybe he will unearth more information that might help Potter.
He walked up to his son's room and unlocked the door and walked right in. He was however stunned to see the scene before him. Scorpius was sitting sideways on a couch facing another young man who by the way had his toungue inside Scorpius's mouth. They both were kissing fervently, still oblivious about Draco's presence. Draco seeing that his son was busy, silently walked back and closed the door. Taking a deep breath he knocked the door and then entered the room. This time Scorpius was sitting on one end of the couch while his friend was sitting at the other end. Draco smiled and greeted them. He asked if Scorpius could talk now.
His son nodded and then introduced his friend to Draco, "Dad, you must know him, he is Michael Shacklebolt, the minister's son. He is also my friend. I met him about a year and a half ago at one of my parties. We were just talking about the upcoming election. He is thinking of running for the deputy minister's position."
Draco raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Glad to know someone knows what they are and what they want to be. I wish you all the best Michael. Let me know if you want any help. I will be happy to provide any assistance you may require. After all you are my son's friend." Saying this he excused himself and took Scorpius with him.
They stood in his library as Tippy poured some firewhisky for both of them. Draco removed his cloak and sat on the sofa in his decorated library. he looked at Scorpius who was sitting on the desk and waiting for Draco to speak. Draco took a sip from the glass extended to him by his elf and spoke, "So, Micheal Shacklebolt huh? Well he is the minister's son. so now are you sure what you want?"
Scorpius stopped moving his dangling legs and stared at his father, "Dad! there is nothing between us. We are just friends. seriously."
Draco laughed, "Yeah right! Friends indeed! if friends usually devoured eachother's tongues like you two were doing then yeah you are friends. I saw you both son. You were kissing him and so lost in doing that ...that you did not even register me coming into the room. So tell me are you having a relationship with him or is this a one off..."
Scorpius colored at his father's words but replied, "Dad... this is more complicated. Michael was in a relationship with another man until recently. Even though we liked each other since the first time we met, we were hesitant because Michael is a Bi and he did not know what he wanted then. He broke it off with his lover a few weeks ago. He said that he wanted to end the relationship a year ago but certain circumstances did not allow him to do so. Now he is free and he wants to spend time with me. I like him too. He is very much into me.. I can tell that from the way he listens to me and kisses me. I am scared though. I don't think he is ready for another relationship so soon so I am going to keep it light till I am sure I want more. Maybe when we are both ready...I don't know."
Draco agreed, "I think that is a wise decision. know each other first and then proceed. don't be in a hurry. anyway, the real reason why I wanted to talk to you was because of your friend Andrew. You remember a year and two months ago you through one of your impromptu parties and I ended up having a huge headache. It was the party where the kids broke some of our furniture. I met your friend Andrew. Do you know where he is now?"
Scorpius thought a bit more before answering, "If you mean Andrew Shafft then he is working in the ministry. He is one of the assistants to the sports minister. Why?" Draco shrugged his shoulders, "Nothing, just wanted to know because I have some work with him. Thanks for the information though. Now go, spend time with your new friend." He smirked while Scorpius rolled his eyes and left the library. Draco smiled at his son while thinking that he had seen Michael somewhere but could not place him exactly where.
Hermione sat on her bed as she cleaned herself after her shower. She was all alone wrapped in a towel. Ginny had just left, after having dinner with her. She had very good friends. Harry had told Ginny to check up on her even though he knew Hermione wanted to be alone. She dried her hair with a spell and then fell back on her bed breathing deeply, trying hard not to cry. From what she had seen in the memories, she was pained that she did not know her daughter at all. Rose was not that scheming or maybe she was but Hermione never knew about it. All her pain and guilt of being an ignorant mother came out at last and she sobbed loudly letting out her grief of losing her daughter all over again, only this time it was because she had lost her daughter's trust.
The next day was a surprise to both Harry and Hermione as they received an owl from Malfoy asking them to meet him at his home. When they arrived, the house elf took them to the garden where breakfast was arranged. Hermione wearing casual jeans and a purple jumper sat down on one chair while Harry in his Auror uniform sat opposite her. They were surrounded by flowers and trees. The small table between them was laden with food and drinks. Draco arrived shortly apologizing for the delay.
" I am so sorry for being late. I was actually waiting for a confirmation. I came home after leaving you at his office, I decided to talk to Scorpius about Andrew and he told me that he works in the ministry. so I took an appointment for us to meet him. If you are ready, we can leave now and talk to him about that day. What do you say Potter?"
Hermione and Harry looked at Draco dumbfounded as they realized that Malfoy had actually done more than they had and now they could act on the only clue they had to catch Rose's killer.
