*Later that same day*

Draco's POV:

Ivory canceled her classes. I let her stay in my dorm for the day because she was still so hungover. I planned a meet-up with Granger and that Weasley girl because I'm still confused about Ivory's drunk thoughts about Tom Riddle. Also, I never thought I would be the one who wanted to talk to them.
I gave her a kiss on the forehead, and then carefully closed the door. If she wakes up, she'll probably wonder why I'm gone all of a sudden. So I tried my best to remain silent and be quick.

On my way to the garden, I already saw Ginny and Hermione waiting for me.

"Finally, took you long enough to get here."

"Shut up Granger."

"Does Rory know you're here with us?", Hermione sighed, walking up to me.

"No, she doesn't, and she isn't going to find out about this either. You two better shut up after this."

"Fine. What do you want to talk about then?'' Ginny didn't seem to be too invested.

"Well, last night when she was drunk, I carried her to my dorm.", I started. They both nodded, getting a little more curious.

"Okay, carry on...", Hermione said.

"She mentioned a name I never thought she would mention."

"Who, Malfoy?", Hermione frowned crossing her arms. 

"Tom."

Ginny frowned, "Do we know a Tom?"

"As in Tom Riddle?", Hermione asked.

"Yes." Their eyes widened as they leaned in closer as if they didn't hear me correctly.

"She..., what?" They both gasped out of shock.

"I know, that was my reaction too. I told her that we do not speak of that name. After that, she just stayed silent and fell asleep."

"I mean, she was drunk, but you know what they say. Drunk words are sober thoughts...", Hermione confirmed.

"Should we ask her if she remembers anything?", Ginny asked.

"No, I have a better idea.", I responded while glancing around the garden.

"What if we give her Veritaserum?" They looked at me as if Ivory was about to be drugged again.

"Draco..., are you sure you want to give her this powerful serum?", Ginny stuttered.

"We could get expelled for that! The use of this potion is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic." Granger was clearly anxious. She always lives up to the rules that little know it all.

I quickly noticed that everyone in the garden went silent. "Did I say that a little too loud?", she mumbled.

"It's the only way we'll find out." I immediately left the garden. They called me back when I left, but I didn't look back. I had to get back to my dorm as quickly as possible, so she wouldn't know I was gone.

The first thing I noticed when I arrived at my dorm was that the door wasn't locked anymore. I might have just forgotten it when I left in a hurry. As I walked in, I saw that the bed was empty. I cussed under my breath. Maybe I am overreacting and she has woke up to take a shower. I searched for her in the bathroom, but she wasn't there either.

Ivory's POV:

I stayed in Draco's dorm so that I wouldn't be alone all day. I slept for an hour or so, until I heard footsteps approaching the door. I tried to peek, however, I sensed Draco's gaze upon me. When the door shut, I pulled my blanket away and put on my slippers. Where does he think he's going without letting me know?
