Draco's POV

We apparated to the small town where Lexi lives. A posh area where everyone knows everyone and their reputation.
Personally, I've never been here before, but I guess there's always a first time sometime.

We walk for about 10 minutes and I ask Mattheo annoyed:" Where does she live now?"
"Always quiet, it's just up ahead, the corner house." he replies.

All I see is a villa district and quite honestly, I have no idea which corner house he means until we're standing in front of it.

It definitely stands out from the other mansions.
It's grey. Grey with black details and a black roof, the front garden decorated with stones and small desert plants. No grass or anything that looks inviting.

"Seriously? This is where she lives? I would have expected anything but this," I say in amazement. Mattheo laughs and says: "What do you expect? You could never do her properly. Not really at all."

Well, when he's right, he's right. But only this time.
We open the small gate of the front garden and step in front of the door and knock three times loudly on the door.

A few seconds later, a little house-elf opens the door and asks: "Oh, Mr Riddle, what a tremendous pleasure to see you again, but tell me, shouldn't you be at school? Has something happened?"

I can tell it's a female house-elf by her voice. She is really neatly dressed and is much friendlier than the house elves I know, with the exception of Dobby.

"Hi Alari, it's a pleasure to see you too. No, everything is fine. Are Mr. and Mrs. Mason in?" replies Mattheo.
"No I'm sorry, Mr and Mrs Mason left for Minesterium two hours ago. Is it important? Perhaps you will meet them there." says Alari disconsolately.

"It doesn't matter at all. But there's one more thing I need to ask you... Has Lexi contacted you since she's been at school? Do you know anything? You're the one who always accepts the mail, aren't you?" Mattheo tries to coax something out of her.

"I'm afraid I'll have to say no to that too, I don't know anything about it. I'm underlined," she replies sadly.
Fantastic, she doesn't seem to have been here.

"Thank you Alari, you have been a great help! Thank you. We have to go back now too. Have a fabulous day Alari." says Mattheo and holds out his hand.

"Always happy for you Mister Riddle, thank you so much. Alari wishes you both a great day too. Goodbye." says Alari with a smile and shakes Mattheo's hand.

We leave the front garden and I ask Mattheo :" So? What are we going to do now? Obviously Lexi wasn't here. New idea Sherlock?"

"At least now we know she's not here or wasn't here. I'm not sure if we should go to the Minesterium to ask Lexi's parents." he muses.

"Of course we'll go! I don't know what there is to consider. We have to consider all avenues or we'll never get anywhere!" I reply cynically.

I walk back and forth and light a train cigarette, grab my head, overwhelmed, and hear Mattheo say: "Alright, let's go".

He grabs me by the arm and we apparate again.

Let's see what we find out in London.

Lexi's POV

I haven't slept for a second because I'm afraid he might be up to something. I just lie there, not even daring to go to the toilet.
