"Where are they, then?"

"We'll go check with the Weasley family, sir," Hermione replied.

"Alright, then, remember, you only have 2 more days. The clock is ticking," he reminded, pointing at his watch.

They entered the Burrow, which, surprisingly, was still standing.

"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley. Do you, by any chance, know where Ronald is?"

The redhead eyed her suspiciously, "Why?".

"Oh, nothing important, I wanted to see him if the spell actually worked," Hermione shrugged.

"Then why is he here?" she pointed at Draco.

"Well, we're friends, and just as I was about to come here, he also came with me because he had nothing else to do," explained Hermione.

"Alright well, Ronald went to visit Harry,"

"I told you, Harry works here. So Ron probably came here to visit him," groaned Hermione.

They entered the castle-like building, as dozens of students filed past them.

As they made their way to the Headmistress' office, Hermione caught a few of the students whispers.

"Aren't they the ones who killed Lucius Malfoy?"

"Oh no! Are they here to kill us? Should we call the police?"

"I've seen them somewhere...,"

A group of girls stared fearfully at Hermione and Draco, quickly scurrying away as Draco stuck his tongue out at them.

"Why are you so childish?" sighed Hermione, hitting him lightly on the arm.

The familiar gargoyles that stood before the office asking questions came into sight as they took a right turn.

"Password?" asked one, eyeing them.

"Er," Hermione awkwardly looked at Draco for help, who just shrugged.

Guessing Dumbledore's password was easy, you just had to recite the names of sweets and hope that one of them would work, which ultimately would.
