Hermione POV
After the talk with Harry there were a lot of guys that asked me to dance. At the end of it I was knackered and went back to the group (Clint and Natasha) included
"So we saw you with potter, what's up" Theo asks me
"Well we are meeting after a year so we were just catching up"
"Sure 'catching up'" says Draco not believing me
"I know what you're thinking but he's dating Ginny Weasley now so they are not getting back together" says my best friend having my back
"Am I the only one with broken feet" I say to change the topic and all the girls raise their hands
"So how were the dances" Clint asked me
"Well I hated every bit of it honestly Cedric was the only one I did enjoy in fact we didn't dance we just talked" I answered
"I enjoyed every bit of my dance" says Natasha cheekily
"That's because Clint wouldn't leave you alone" says Daphne and we all laugh at that.
There were only 15 minutes left for the Ball to end and the only people at the party were Theo Parents, Astoria's Parents, Narcissa (Draco's Mom) and the six of us. We were all together busy in conversations with one another.
Suddenly the light go off and we all wonder what's going on before anyone can say lumos the lights come back on, just then we hear Mrs. Nott scream and we look over our shoulders and see Narcissa bleeding on the floor. I see Marcus holding a very pale Draco.
Then Clint whispers to me "looks like we have a new case to solve".
I kneel down besides Narcissa's body and see that there's no pulse I turn my head looking up at my partner informing him that she's dead, tears roll down my face and Clint comforts me.
"How did this happen? Who did this?" says Mr. Greengrass furious
"Yes, what does this mean?" asks Mrs. Greengrass
"It means that me and Hermione have a homicide to investigate" says Clint he takes a two pairs of gloves out of his jacket he takes one himself and passes one on to me and says
"I and Hermione should start at once and the lesser people here the better"
"I'm staying" says Draco his voice cracking
"Me too" says Astoria
"I want to help too" says Theo
"Guys Clint's right the lesser people here the better why don't Astoria and Draco stay while the rest go home, get some sleep we'll give you and update in the morning... everyone nods.... And please keep this to yourselves until the matter is resolved" I finish.
After they all leave Clint says to Astoria, Draco and Marcus
"You should go upstairs and get some rest" I say
"Hell no" Draco protests
"I said you could stay not watch and its past midnight you should sleep" continues Clint
"Are you my mother? NO YOU'RE NOT CAUSE SHE'S DEAD" yells Draco I look at my brother for support
"They're right mate lets go all of you" somehow Marcus manages to convince
"Since it's going to be a long night I'll make us some coffee" offers Natasha and goes to the kitchen and we start investigating.
"Whoever this person is they knew what they were doing, two gunshot wounds to the lower abdomen avoiding the ribcage making the victim bleed and die faster" I say
"And I see a look on my partner's face"
"What is it?" I ask him
"No its just that Nat owns a pistol like the one used to kill Draco's mom"
"Well it's not like she bought it to the ball" he slightly winces
"SHE BROUGHT A GUN IN MY HOUSE!!" I says freaked out
"Scream louder, I don't think Draco heard you, and you know she didn't do it"
"Of course I know that I'm just saying if somebody is trying to frame her they've got a pretty good start"
Natasha comes in and says "There wasn't coffee so I made tea should keep you up all the same"
"Hey Nat do you still have your pistol with you" asks Clint
"Yeah why?" she asks
"Well...." Clint starts
"Well we think a pistol like yours was used to murder Narcissa" I tell her
"I'm not a suspect aren't I" she asks worried
"You don't have a motive, so you're safe" Clint assures her
"She was a nice boss" says Natasha referring to Draco's mother
"Boss?" I ask her
"She takes care of the music I produce, she even was kind enough to donate 100 Galleons to my band after her death"
We both give her a look, realizing what she had just said she answers
"I just became a suspect, didn't I" well this was going to be really hard.
