Soulmates

Chapter 18

Days and months passed by yet there was no lead on the case. The duo searched all the safe houses but still got nothing . Draco searched the Manor and got a very less bit of information about the carvings . It was so sort of ritual which brings back a person from death which they knew already . Harry asked his son and Scorpius to keep a close eye on Delphi .  Draco searched for all the orphans and adopted kids after the battle. Delphi's case was indeed extraordinary . No one knows her exact birthdate. Amos Diggory said he found her beside a trash bin near diagon Alley. With a note pinned onto the robe of the child stating to keep her safe . Amos took her. She gave him peace , peace to a father who lost his only 17 year old son for some crazy maniac .
One day Harry lost his way in the Manor because it's so bloody huge and by mistake went in the basement. The basement of the Manor was eerie quite . With no lights. There were prison cells which gave Harry shivers . The place smelled odd . Harry stumbles upon something and when he casted a lumos he was a shedded snake's skin . It wasn't as big as the basilisk's though . He was about to go further to investigate when he heard his name . Draco calling him . Harry with giving a last lingering glance at the celler followed the sound of Draco's panicky shouts . He found Draco in the entrance of the basement .
"What the fuck you were doing down there? " Draco demanded hotly .
"Lost my way" shrugged Harry .
"I don't believe you, are you spying on me ? Of course isn't this you always did spying on me, following me around. Thinking I am upto some thing bad and kill me again like you did?" There was venom and malice in Draco's voice which made Harry shudder.
"Dra... how can you even think like that . I .. "
"Get out .. just get out of my house . "
"Draco .. "
"Out" Draco screamed .
And Harry apparated with a crack .

Harry couldn't fathom why Draco acted so weird . He was okay untill  he discovered Harry in the basement! How can he even think . God they are with each other for almost half of a year and still Draco thinks so low of Harry . Harry's heart cried for Draco . He loves Draco. Harry sighed firecalled Hermione and saw she was still in the ministry working . He went straight upto her .

"Harry I .. I wasn't expecting you" Hermione said as he pushed open the door of her cabin . He dropped the box of take away food and sat on a chair . Hermione took a good look at his face , and asked "I assume something happened with Draco . Harry nodded . "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it."
"What .. what are you working on?" Harry changed the subject . Hermione understood why . "Oh, do you remember I was researching on the blood curse that nagini was effected with and who were the decendants of her . Especially her present decendants who is alive . And I found that apparently the Greengrass family was effected by this curse . Especially the women of the family . And do you know who was the last female Greengrass? "No" Harry said.
"It's Astoria Greengrass" . Sighed Hermione . " Wait what, Draco's dead wife? Are you implying that she is alive? "Harry asked."
"To some extent yes Harry , because Draco never invited anyone in the funeral only his mother and his son was there ."
"What do you think about Astoria now?" Harry questioned .
"Well I believe if she is alive then she is not an human. She is definitely a living snake . Like Nagini . And Harry do you understand what that means? If one gets the venom of Astoria if she is alive then"
"One can make the potion and Voldemort will be alive again."
"Exactly!" Exclaimed Hermione
You know mione today i stumbled upon a snake's skin in the basement of the manor .
"We should go and search the manor." Hermione suggested .
"No mione I guess we require more information . Manor is quite old and maybe it's the skin of a normal snake. I think maybe i should try summoning the snake.  See if it is a normal one or not ."
"Harry, what if you conjure a snake or maybe buy a snake and ask it for help . In that way you won't have to investigate openly. "
"Well Mione it's a great idea. Brightest witch" Harry smiled and Hermione smirked.
