Draco's POV

Hermione pulled out her purse and reached in for the vile of Veritaserun, she quickly proceeded to pour it down the throats of our captives. I turned to Harry and signalled for him to take the lead in questioning. He nodded and collected his composer and walked slowing toward the couple. Clearing his throat he began.

"What is your name?", he spoke with a certain venom I wasn't sure he was capable of till now.

"Lor-en-zo Bor-ta-lini", the man struggled against the magic substance. I hummed in contempt. So we have a Bortalini on our hands.

"What is your position with the Illuminati?", the man seemed a bit taken back by our knowledge of the secret society.

"Sec-ond-in-com-command-next-to-my-father", I could see the pain he was suffering from being subjected to the truth serum, I'd felt it myself. But this didn't make me have any sympathy for him. But a first son and second in command, he had to know something about Carrow!

"Where's Carrow?", I snapped out of my thoughts and turned toward the direction of the voice and was surprised to see a very impatient Hermione staring down at Ms. Zabini, well I suppose it's Mrs. Bortalini now! She was staring equally as intense back at Hermione, which made my blood boil.

"He's-Dead", Vanessa hissed through clenched teeth. I stared at her in shock. I looked over at Hermione to see how she was coping. I knew how much this meant to her after what Carrow did to her.

"WHAT?!" Hermione shouted, anger taking over her features. It wasn't a good look for her and I mentally noted never to get on her bad side in future. Vanessa let a cold shallow cackle leave her lips which sent shivers down our spines. She looked at Hermione, seeing her anger a certain glee had entered her eyes.

"He's dead. Got to dangerous to have him around, him making mistakes and all. so He. Is. Dead." she smirked rage slowly building up inside me. She has denied my girlfriend (I love saying that!) the right to her revenge and now she was rubbing it in as some sick joke?! That's it! I gripped my wand and pointed it toward her.

"Draco", I heard Hermione whisper gently, and as if her breath sucked my anger away I dropped my wand and turned to her, seeing her beautiful face looking at me with sad eyes. I took her in my arms and held her close. I looked up to Harry.

"Wipe their memories and lets get out of here", I saw lift his wand to my order as I transported Hermione and myself out of there and back to my office.

When we were back I looked down at her and saw the disappointment in her features, she looked so fragile right now. I took her face in my hands, and lightly kissedd her forehead. Searching her eyes I looked for the right thing to say.

"I'll be alright Draco, really. I'm glad he is gone", she gave me a weak smile. I knew she was right but I just couldn't help but worry. I pulled her over to the coach and she lied down with her heard on my lap. I soothed her and stroked her hair, hoping I was being some help.

Harry appeared a good while later.

"Where were you", I whispered because Hermione had fallen asleep on my lap.

"I asked them some more questions and did a little snooping to confirm he was dead and get a little more info about their secret society", I nodded, thinking how foolish it was of me not to do a follow up on Carrow. I suppose I was so worried for Hermione at the time.

"I didn't get much more, and I reported back to Kingsley", Harry continued. He smiled down at Hermione.

"You really are good for her. Don't tell I said that though", and with a chuckle on both our parts he left via floo network.

I saw Hermione breathing softly in her sleep. I thought of the days events and what the future holds for us all. That's when I realised how good my life was right now; great new friends, interesting job, and a fantastic girlfriend! What more could I want? A wife, kids?

I'm still young. That's my conclusion.

But I couldn't shake the feeling that something was up, good or bad I couldn't say. But something was going to happen, and it will change my so far clear future.
