Hermione POV

I apparated home finishing the last of my Frizzing Wizz bee and go to the living room keep my newly bought presents under the tree and hear I Draco saying "Sorry I'm just frustrated"

"Well you don't have to be we got a lead" I assure him

"What did you find?" asks Clint

"Well your right.." referring to Natasha"....None of them are capable of pulling the trigger but as for the money, your drummer is our best lead his mother's at St.Mungos so he is the one who needed it the most maybe he hired someone to do it" I inform everyone

"Do we have any proof?" asks Clint

"No, not y..." I suddenly felt light headed and the last thing I hear is Blaise's voice saying "Freya!!" and then everything was black.


Clint POV

We watch as Hermione crashes to the floor and Blaise catches her "What happened, how did she faint" asks a worried Astoria

"I don't know" Clint says

"She was fine a minute ago" says Draco then I notice some chocolate on her fingers

"Is that chocolate on her fingers?" I ask Blaise

"Yeah looks like it" he confirms

"It's from a Frizzing Wizz bee" says Theo I and Nat look at him

"What? I know my candy" he simply says. I search Freya's purse and find chocolate wrappers I observe that there is some light blue fluid on it I take a sniff of it 

"What is that?" asks Daphne

"Looks like no-Maj (or muggle) poison" says Nat

"Yeah it is" I confirm and add "It's stale so thankfully it won't kill her, why don't you take Freya to bed she should wake up soon enough while I find her would be poisoner".

Blaise POV

I set down Freya in her room and I see an owl at her window I go and take the letter from it and see it's from papa (what do we tell him now) Regardless I open the letter and read.

Dear Hermione and Blaise,

Merry Christmas children, Hope you and your friends are doing well. Hope yesterday's festivities were all well. I will be leaving to see your grandparents tomorrow and convey the news to them. I want you to know that it's Christmas and you should enjoy yourselves.

Yours lovingly, Papa.

I had no idea how to reply to this letter so I set it down on Freya's nightstand and wait for her to wake up

Hogsmeade

Clint POV

I left the manor and headed to Hogsmeade the most likely chance is that someone sold it to her at Honeydukes so I enter the shop

"Morning Sir, what can I get you" says the shopkeeper

"Good morning, I just wanted to know if a girl name Hermione Zabini entered this shop earlier today" I ask him showing him Freya's picture

"I'm sorry sir"

"Oh alright, thank you for your time, Merry Christmas" I walk out of the shop disappointed.

If she didn't get the chocolate at Honeydukes someone must have given it to her at the pub maybe Justin it would only make him stronger of a suspect. I enter the pub and go up to the band who were sitting at a table

"Hey guys" I say

"Hey mate, is Natasha with you?" says Dennis

"I'm afraid not um...did my partner Hermione come here?" I ask

"Hermione Zabini?" asks Hannah

"Yeah she's the one" I say

"Yeah she was asking us questions about guns" says Justin

"I just wanted to know that did any of you give her a Frizzing Wizzbee?"

"No why? We're we supposed to?" asks a clueless Dennis

"No nothing like that Happy Christmas" while I was taking I saw a waiter watching us so I walk up to her.

"Hello miss do I know you?" I ask her, she was 25 maybe 26 and had chocolate brown hair and grey eyes and pale skin

"No I don't think so, Victoria Johnson" she says and introduces herself

"Clint Rogers, no it's just that you were watching me when I was talking to my friends" I tell her

"Oh it's just that those guys have been there for an more than an hour, would like some chocolate" she says and offers me a bowl of Frizzing Wizzbees

"Oh, thank you so much" I take one and leave.

I realize I just found Freya's poisoner I also know why do some research and in the next hour I find out why Victoria poisoned Freya and tried to poison me what I can't understand is why she murdered Narcissa.


Hermione POV

I wake up in my room Marcus right next to me "Freya you're up" he says relieved

"What happened" I ask

"You were poisoned Clint thinks it's from the Frizzing Wizz bee you ate" he tells me

"No that can't be right that was.." I was cut off by my partner

"Oh Good, you're up I need a minute alone with her" he tells Marcus once Marcus leaves Clint says

"I just found a double criminal" he discusses is theory with me and it strikes me and I figure out what he couldn't

"Can I tell Draco?" I ask him

"Sure, he deserves to know first" he answers

Draco POV

I was worried sick for Hermione I know Clint said she would be fine but I still couldn't help it after the our first dance I had come to know that I was in love with Hermione Zabini I also know that Blaise would kill me so I tried to bury my feelings and let me tell you it did not work in fact it made me want her more just then I heard a knock on and Blaise's bedroom door

"Come in" I say and there she stood

"Hey you're up how are you feeling?" I ask her

"Good" she answers "How are you doing? I know losing a parent can be hard." she says

"Well it all happened so fast but I'm more angry than I am sad because I mean I know I didn't have a great childhood but my mother tried her best to protect me and keep me happy." I tell her honestly

She gives me a sympathetic smile and after a while says 

"We figured it out.." my attention immediately goes to her "...my poisoner and the killer" I smile and ask

"Why did you do it?"

"Do what" she asks

"Solve the case" she takes a seat at the bed and says

"Well it's my job isn't it"

"No but it's more than that, right?" I ask

"I mean you never were that close to my mother or me to care for either one of us" I state

"No I wasn't but I do care about you now and I know even though you despised your parents unlike Lucius you loved Narcissa and I know this was important to you" she reveals

"I care about you too as a matter of fact I have come to realize I'm attracted to you and like you a lot" I say leaning in... she leans in too and our lips meet, it was like being in heaven it was by far the best kiss I ever shared.
