Hope you enjoy the chapter!

Draco and Harry got to work early the next day to meet up with Hermione to try and find some way to help Scorpius and James. Draco's mind was on the argument he had with Ginny yesterday after the visit to Azkaban. He was concerned for her as much as Scorpius because she was losing more control every day. The temper and rage that filled her suddenly was spilling out into their relationship and he knew it was from her suppressing her powers... well trying to anyway.

"So Beckett and the Adwells are good friends?" Harry asked.

"Yes, but don't let that mislead you. Beckett has always been a by the book kind of person, he won't break Wizarding law. However, he has been known to do whatever he feels needs or should be done that would benefit the Ministry. If we could maybe present something or find a loophole that could at least get them out of there until there's a proper hearing, then it's a start." Hermione explained.

There was a knock on the door and Ember popped her head in. "Hey, just thought I'd say hello before my shift at the diner," she said walking over and taking a seat. "Any luck?"

They were all silent.

"I see," she mumbled.

"We're trying to find something that could work to our advantage," Hermione said.

All of their attention turned to the door again when there was another knock and Jack Adwell walked in. The awkward tension was almost painful to endure until Ginny walked into the office behind him followed by three other Aurors.

"Ginny? What are you doing here? What's going on?" Draco asked.

He could tell something was wrong by the look on her face; he didn't need her honey brown eyes to reflect the emotion that filled her features.

"Good morning, gentlemen... I have something that I think you both would like to see," Mr. Adwell said.

Harry and Draco exchanged a quick look before their eyes fell on Scorpius and James, who were escorted into the room. They both made a move to go grab them into a hug before Adwell stopped them.

"Not so fast."

Draco's eyes took in his son's appearance; he couldn't help the smile that crossed his face when he saw he was ok.

"Your wife has made a deal with me for your son's release."

The smile on Draco's face faded suddenly and he locked eyes with Ginny. "What? What kind of deal?"

Ginny wiped the stray tear that slid down her cheek away.

"She has agreed to submit herself for a full in-depth evaluation at my lab."

"What? No, Ginny is that where you were yesterday, cutting a deal with this asshole?"

"Draco, I needed to do something, look at me? I'm slipping away more and more each day, it's better this way... before I really do hurt someone," she explained.

"How long will she be there, what does this evaluation include?" Draco demanded answers.

"She will stay for as long as I find a use for her. She'll be my new little guinea pig," he said with a slight smile.
