"Here you are, Miss. As promised" say the shopkeeper and gives Serenity an average size parcel.

"Thank you, sir," said Serenity, keeping the parcel in her purse and handing over a galleon on top of the payment of the item to the shopkeeper, "For your troubles" add Serenity.

"Oh! You are most welcome Miss" said the shopkeeper happily and takes the money.

Serenity nods her head and walks out from Borgin and Burke. She walks fast, passing from one shadow after another shadow and disappears.

**********

Inside Hogwarts Express, Serenity is relaxing and reading her sixth-year book. Opposite her, Luna and Astoria are talking to one another. Then the door opens, and Hermione and Ginny appear, but only Ginny takes a seat while Hermione stands by the door.

Serenity looks up to Hermione. Hermione makes a sign, asking Serenity to walk out of the cubicle with her. Serenity put her book inside her purse, leaves her pointed hat and follow Hermione.

"Sorry for calling you out but I just want to ask you something, it is alright if you don't want to answer. Or maybe I should not ask since it has something to do with the agreement that we had if you and I ever want to continue to befriend....." begin Hermione nervously.

Serenity rise her hand, making Hermione stop talking.

"Ask the question and I decide if I can answer it or not" say Serenity.

Hermione takes a deep breath.

"Harry.....has this suspicion about Malfoy," said Hermione slowly.

Serenity signs and the role of her eyes.

"Isn't that like FOREVER that Mr Potter that suspicion on Mr Malfoy?" asked Serenity.

"I know but his suspicion is quite heavy," said Hermione quietly.

"How so?" asked Serenity.

Hermione looks around them, making sure that one is around. Serenity frowns at Hermione's attitude.

"If you're keeping an eye on Cormac, he is not around" teases Serenity.

"Very funny" grunted Hermione.

Serenity smile.

"What is the nature of the suspicion?" asked Serenity.

"Well, after you're gone. We walk around Daigon Alley a bit at Olivander's, well what is left of Olivander's Shop, we saw Malfoy and his mother, acting all weird. They went into the Knockturn Alley and we follow" explain Hermione.

"Go on," said Serenity.

"We follow them until Borgin and Burke. We saw the Malfoys along with other known Death Eaters. Because of that Harry has come to the conclusion that Draco Malfoy has become a Death Eater" continue Hermione.

Serenity takes a deep breath and signs. Hermione is right.

"I've been into Borgin and Burke lots of time, with my father, until recently I make a few trips there too, get my father's items" begin Serenity.

"You do?" asked Hermione.

Serenity nods his head.

"No one understands the Dark Lord like Mr Potter does other than his Death Eaters. Harry is making an educated assumption because looking at the situation, we know that Lucius Malfoy is Death Eater. He has been captured by the Ministry. According to you, last year he was supposed to recover something for the Dark Lord but he fail. What Mr Potter say make sense but it is not used without proving" explains Serenity.
