ITS YOU ; DRACO MALFOY

chapter 211.

Charlotte leaves my office not long after confessing everything to me and there's not another knock at my office door for 10 minutes. I'm happy to see Draco again, which is why I pounce for the door and open it with a slight smile on my lips. "Ready?" I nod at his question before making sure that I 100% have everything.

We apparate to the address in Josepeh's file but once we get outside of his house, an old woman gasps. Shit. Before I can think of what to do, Draco pulls his wand from his pocket and points it at her forehead. "Obliviate." Her shocked expression transitions into a much more relaxed one and a smile grows on her face.

He's amazing.

"Hello dears. Are you looking at Jim Morrisons' old place? Terrible thing what happened between him and his wife isn't it? I told my Tom that if I ever caught him with a 25 year old he'd be right bloody sorry. Tom's scared to leave the house now."

I laugh at that and her smile grows. "Yes we are looking but Jim's old house seemed to emit such a terrible vibe and I just couldn't agree with raising a little one in there." Draco's face contorts into confusion so I pinch his elbow and he changes into a small smile.

"Oh no you shouldn't! The little one may turn out to be like Jim, maybe even worse, no you should look somewhere else."

Draco nods his head in agreement and the nice woman smiles. "It was lovely chatting to you but we should go. Little one screams if she's not around her Mother for longer than five minutes. The Babysitter will have our heads." The woman laughs at Draco's subtle sarcasm and I smile in response. She says goodbye and I wave to her as we walk away and once she's inside her house again, Draco turns to me. "What the fuck was that?"

I laugh, "We need to blend. We can't walk around here like two emotionless zombies just trying to wait and see Joseph's magic ability, we need to act like Muggles and converse with Muggles. Plus, she was nice. I actually enjoyed talking to her."

Shaking his head at me, the blonde runs his hand through his hair before taking a deep inhale of breath. I take this time to look around at where we are and it seems to be a housing estate. There's a park at the end of the road but no kids in sight. "What time is it?" At my question, Draco checks his Planet watch and answers me with '8:20'. "Joseph's probably at school but we can't go there."

"Why can't we? Do you know which school he goes to? Give me the file."

"No I know what school he goes to but there will be other Muggles there, we can't just obliviate everyone's memory. I know we were both pretty outstanding at charms but there's no way we could erase the memory of hundreds of Primary school children and also their teachers."

Humming in agreement, Draco squints his eyes in the sunlight and I brush my blowing hair out of my face. "So what do we do? He finishes at...3 or something like that, right?" I nod. "What can we do for 6 hours?"

"Wait."

My answer seems to annoy him as I'm given an eye roll so I cross my arms. "Something might happen while he's at school, though. Harry told me that he managed to fly himself to the roof when these bullies were chasing him."

"He'll tell his Parents if they aren't dicks." Draco shrugs and I tut. "What? Do you want a different response? You said we can't go over there so what else can we do? Age ourselves down 10 years?"

"Why are you so mad at me? What did I do?"

Pushing his cheek out with his tongue, Draco shakes his head and decides to look around the estate instead, turning his head left and right. "Is it because of Charlotte?"

"I was breaking up with her at dinner tonight anyway, I'm glad she did it for me."

I furrow my brows. "Then what? Because Scrimgeour called me Mrs Diggory? I'm changing that as soon as I can!"
