Chapter 21: Part Two
"US?" Ron asked, shaking his head. "No way Harry, not this time! NO!"
Harry scowled. "Look Ron, just let me finish. The invisibility cloak will get us there unseen, as for the curses, there's a way around that to, see, when I overheard Snape and Dumbledore talking, Snape said he would be taking care of their house! Which means he has all the right spells to counter the curses!"
"So" Ron said, trying not to look interested.
"So" Harry countered, "all we have to do is wait for him to leave tonight, follow him under the invisibility cloak, then sneak in after him!"
Ron glanced at both Harry and Hermione, still a bit confused.
"If Snape does the counter-curses, the effects should last about two or three minutes........" Hermione explained.
"Long enough for us to sneak in through a window or something" Harry explained, sitting back in his chair and looking rather pleased with himself.
Ron looked slightly skeptical. "You sure this will even work?"
Harry nodded matter-of-factly. "Just to check all of our bases, I sent Hedwig out to intercept any owls being sent from the Ministry to here...we may get information that way, so it may all be unnecessary."
Ron looked slightly relieved at that. "All right then, this evening we can meet in the Common Room and go over a plan if we don�t have any information by then!"
Harry nodded; it was then that Hermione interjected. "You don�t REALLY think I'm going to let you two do this alone do you?"
Harry blinked. "The thought had occurred to me...I didn�t think you would want to be involved..."
Hermione shrugged. "I personally could care less about either one of them, or what they are up to with Draco, but I wont have you two getting in trouble."
With that she stood up, turned on one heel, tossed her hair over one shoulder and headed off to the Great Hall for breakfast.
Narcissa was sick. But far from being upset she was overjoyed, with any luck this meant that she was pregnant and could soon be rid of that Pain in the ass son of hers Draco.
The best part was that Lucius was worried about her, he fawned over her. She had only to call and he would bring her anything she wanted. She rolled over on the bed and sighed, maybe she would have to get a bit more of that potion from Isabela? This was worth a few more Galleons to buy her services and her silence. In the mean time she was going to enjoy every second of her time with Lucius. This was the man she had wanted to marry, this was how he was before she had gotten pregnant and he had become so cold and harsh towards her.
Lucius paced around the kitchen, glaring at the house elves as they ran around arranging the fruit platter that he had ordered for Narcissa. What was it about Professor Cariads name that made him feel different? She was a woman who was being tested for the DeathEaters that was all. Yet when Snape had said her name he had felt something welling up inside of him, something that had felt more real then what he was feeling now with Narcissa. What was he missing?
A house elf approached him, cowering behind the towering display of fruit. Snatching it up he strode out of the room and back to Narcissa�s boudoir, he�d work that out later, right now Narcissa was ill and he must care for her, that was all he could think of.
Meanwhile all Narcissa could think of was the perfect plan to get rid of Draco. Christmas was coming, and that would present the perfect opportunity, by now she had already lulled him into a false sense of security, and sending him a Christmas box full of poisoned sweets, well that was absolutely perfect, and no one would suspect a thing, then it would be just her, Lucius and their new baby, hopefully a GIRL this time.
