Road to...Love

Another blow

(EDITED)

"As previously mentioned near Puddifoot's shop-

"Madame Puddifoot" corrected Ginny sternly.

..."there were four who attacked you, right?" Asked a man with plain voice and grey hair, ignoring any interruption.

"I wouldn't be surprised, if someone was in hiding" said Ginny casually.
"What about the one we caught?" Asked back Ginny.

"The one I caught..." said the man (his voice filled with pride) stressing on the word I on which Ginny rolled her eyes, "...didn't spit out anything (Ginny gave a shrug).  The veritaserum is not working on him" said the man. "They are on a mission, Planning something very dark".

His eyes the same, grey coloured which met Ginny's chocolate-brown ones near Madame Puddifoot's shop.

"Malfoy? Is your Father one them too" asked Ginny straight away who faced his back.

"Yes, Mr. Lucius Malfoy is one of them" said Draco gulping. He clenched his fist, the hair on his neck get tensed.

Ginny noticed Draco's self getting stiff,
"Don't mind him" said Ginny.

"I am not" said Draco fast rather harshly. Ginny looked at him once with narrow eyes  for his tone towards her but then let it go.

The room in which the meeting was held was, according to Ginny, as dark and dull as Draco's humour. A large wooden table placed at the side, with a number of parchment lying on it.
The heavy dark curtains not letting any light to pass this giving a feeling of damp and cold, just opposite to the burrow. Looking to an extent there was another room but was locked, "Wonder what's in there? Or who's in there?"

"That's my mother's room" said Draco snapping out Ginny of her thoughts and then again faced his back towards her.

"So what's the next step?" Asked Ginny looking away.

"Visiting Knocturn alley. I am sure we'll get something there" said Draco.

"Okay... Tommorow sharp at nine" said Ginny.

"No!" Malfoy objected at once, "I'll tell you the time". Said Malfoy turning around, facing her.

"But... I am not free always, whenever you call" retorted Ginny, irritated

"Why? What work do you have? Doing the dishes?" Asked Malfoy mockingly, only to receive Ginny's growl.

She looked at him once and then thought, "Should I tell him about Teddy? But I just can't rely on him".
Seeing Ginny race her mind Draco frowned at her.

She noticed Malfoy's look and immediately cleared the crevices on her forehead.

"Fine your time. I'll be there..." Agreed Ginny, "...I'll leave now. It's quiet late" said Ginny and turned to walk out when Draco stopped her, "Weaslett!!"

Ginny turned around with a frown, "Better don't reveal anything to your boyfriend" said Malfoy smirking.

"I don't have a boyfriend" said Ginny gritting her teeth.

"Yeah the whole wizarding world knows" said Draco casually and turned his back again.

Ginny growled at him once, then turned around and left.

"Did you see Ginny?" Asked Harry holding Teddy, to Ron. Ron was busy degnoming the garden and so was Hermione.
