Working for Malfoy

Chapter 39: A Change in Plans

"He's here." Blaise said as quietly as possible while trying to usher us into the kitchen.

We went into the kitchen and out the other door, making sure to thank the elves for the breakfast.

We raced up to Ginny's room and closed the door.

"Okay, I'll do the spell and you two close the windows." Aviana instructed.

Ginny and I closed the windows and waited for Aviana to finish the spell before sitting on the bed and waiting for the boys to clear up so we could see them.

Aviana had created this spell before coming back. It is a sort of illusion spell that allows you to see into whatever building or room you wanted as long as it was within a 5 miles radius.

I took a deep breath and felt a small smile form on my lips when I could see him clearly and not as a blur.

He handed the letter to Blaise and the dark skinned wizard opened it and began reading.

"Draco, when you read this, I want you to know that none of this was your fault. I wasn't strong enough to keep going and I regret everything I ever said or did to you that has hurt you. I want to make it up to you in any way possible." Blaise stopped reading to look at Draco. His head was in his hands and he was looking down at the table.

"Finish reading it." Draco's voice came, barely audible.

With a nod Blaise continued reading. "I know you are going to be moving out of the Malfoy Manor and into your own home soon. When you get there, there will be something waiting for you. I want you to know that I care about you more than anything you could imagine. Just know that no matter where I am, I will always be with you. Keep pushing through and always remember that I love you. Love Hermione. P.s. don't go looking for that surprise I mentioned earlier because it won't be there until you move in." Blaise looked up at Draco and set the letter down.

"Why is it worded like she is planning on visiting or something?" Draco asked. "When did the letter even get there? When was it written? Why is it just now showing up? Where was this before? I am so confused."

"I bet you are, but I have a feeling that the answers will come in one way or another." Blaise answered before standing up and excusing himself to use the bathroom.

We continued to watch Draco. He stood up from his chair and walked around the room before grabbing the letter off the table and holding it up, making it seem like he was reading it.

I laid back on the bed and sighed, running my hands over my face.

"Don't worry Hermione. This weekend will come faster than you think." Ginny smiled and rested her hand on my knee, squeezing it reassuringly.

" I hope you're right about that." I said through my hands.

She just laughed and pulled on my arm to make me sit up as the bedroom door opened.

We all jumped, Aviana and Ginny moving in front of me to shield me from the sight of the intruder.

"Don't worry, it's just me." Blaise said while closing the door behind him.

We sighed and resituated so we were all sitting side by side and Blaise was standing in front of us.

"What do you think we should do now?" He asked.

"I think we should start the next phase of the plan." Ginny said.

We all nodded in agreement.

"That means you need to get him to choose a place to move to as soon as possible. Once that is done then we can help him move in and sneak Hermione into the bedroom he will have because that is the room he will want to get unpacked and set up first." Aviana said.
