Ode to Perfection, George Weasley X OC

Chapter 8: Ginny's Gone

With the end of the year coming near, the older Slytherins had nothing better to do with their time than to sit around lazily in their dimly lit common room. "So, did the dumb Gryffindors forget about thinking you trashed their common room?" Gemma asks. "Have they stopped death glaring me from across the Great Hall?" Capella asks, eyebrows raised. "No, they haven't," Lucian laughs.

"Then you just answered Farley's question," Capella laughs. Everyone is still laughing and snickering when Draco and his friends walk into the room. They all go sit in some armchairs on the other side of the room. Capella was staring at Draco while her friends continued talking. She knew he knew something about the plan, but she didn't want to reveal more of it if he only knew a little.

"Capella? Why are you staring at your brother like that?" Miles asks. Capella turns her attention to her friends, who were all looking at her. "No reason... Actually, I think I need to talk to him. I'll see you all later" Capella says, standing up. She walks over to the younger group of Slytherins. She stops in front of Draco and greets all his friends before addressing him.

"Draco, may I speak with you privately please" Capella says coldly. "Of course, Capella. But whatever about?" Draco asks, standing up as well. "We will discuss it outside" Capella answers, leading Draco into the hallway.

Once outside the Slytherin entrance, Capella leads Draco to a secluded hallway which to neither person's knowledge was in front of the Room of Requirements. Both children will have many more occasions with this room in the years that are to come in the future.

"Capella stop leading me to different places! What is this about?" Draco whines. Capella takes a deep breath. 'Father would be upset with me if I spoiled his plans to Draco. But if he already knows something, what's the harm? What if father never finds out I told him?' Capella is thinking about her options when Draco gives her an annoyed look. Capella decides what's the harm of bringing it up casually.

"Draco. How have your studies been coming along?" Capella asks, trying to sneak into the conversation. "They are fine, Capella. Are you wigging out because you go off to mannerism school again in a month? You've been going for ten years. Anyone would think you'd be used to it by now" Draco snorts. "This has nothing to do with mannerism school. Just looking out for my brother, that's all. Have you been studying in the library recently?" Capella asks, continuing getting closer to the real subject.

Draco is worried that Capella has found out about the snake. Now, Draco has no clue it is the work of his father that the snake is loose. But he wanted to shield his older sister from the mess he has found. "Yes, the library would be the place to go to study. What's with the questions Capella?" Draco asks, trying to get to the point. Hoping it isn't what he is thinking.

"Well Draco I need to ask you something and it is rather serious" Capella starts. She is about to continue when they both hear footsteps coming down the hall. Capella and Draco turn towards the noise, but they don't see anything, but the noise of footsteps continues. "Weird?" Capella remarks. "Yea, mighty weird" Draco agrees. The footsteps continued coming closer to the duo, yet they still couldn't see anybody or anything.

Capella somewhat pushes Draco behind her as a way to protect him before pulling out her wand as well. The footsteps sound as if they are right in front of them and then they stop. Capella and Draco look around more confused than ever, when a cloak gets thrown on the floor and Harry and Ron appear out of thin air. Capella and Draco are stunned.

"How did you do that?" Capella asks, bewildered. "Like we are gonna tell you two Malfoys." Ron spats. "Well, Weaselbe, you and Pottah just appeared out of nowhere. We deserve a little bit of an explanation" Draco demands. "No Malfoy" Harry says, getting in Draco's face. "Alright boys that's enough" Capella says, stepping between them. "And why should we listen to you?" Ron spats again.

"Because while I may not be yours, I am a prefect. And you must listen when I am commanding you, when it has to do with school ground matters" Capella answers with pride. "Alright Miss Malfoy, what questions do you got for us?" Harry asks, politely. "How did you all of a sudden appear when we didn't see you two walking up?" Capella asks coolly.

"We used a really complicated spell" Ron answers. Capella gives him a weird look, "I don't know if I trust that. Any type of magic like that, that's not apparition, would be beyond your year and require multiple lizard's power. And might I remind you both, Weasley's wand is faulty." "Well, that is hardly any of your business Malfoy" Ron snickers.

"What do you mean Weaselbe, she just explained how it is her business. So, tell my brilliant sister what you gits did!" Draco shouts. "Oh, yea Draco listen to your bossy older sister" Ron laughs. "Alright enough you three. Potter, Weasley, why were you coming down this hallway?" Capella intervenes. "My little sister is missing, and we've gone to find her. You two got in our way" Ron answers, heading towards the ground.

Capella's face grows paler than before. "Draco, go back to the common room. Tell everyone to stay there until I get back. And that's an order." Capella says, sternly. Draco gives a confused look to his sister before walking off. Ron and Harry share a similar look of confusion before Capella speaks again, "I'm not supposed to do this... but go find Ginny. I know if it was Draco nothing would get in my way of finding him. So go, be careful."

The two run off while Capella goes the other way, one person on her mind... George Weasley.
