The Red Door

Chapter 11

Hermione and Draco were just sitting in their office quietly. Draco was lounging across the couch with a target file and Hermione was Brewing a potion on the floor in front of the fire.

"This is ridiculous" yelled Draco suddenly throwing the file to the ground

"Calm down Draco we'll get them just like all the others" said Hermione

"It's just wrong Hermione and I'm offended by the whole situation" said Draco angrily

"Look I understand that being offered to buy some squib girl to be your personal little sex slave could be a bit offensive but we got the lead and we will catch them and rescue the girls" said Hermione patiently

Draco and Hermione had had this conversation for a week now ever since a stranger approached Draco when he was out and asked if he was interested in buying a girl or two.

"Hermione you understand why I offended don't you" said Draco indignantly

"Yes because you're Draco Malfoy and you don't need to pay for sex" said Hermione

"Yes and No, I am a Malfoy and I don't need to buy sex slaves, but I have changed, and no one will ever care" he said bitterly "All they will see is the mark" Draco touched his arm absent mindedly

"All that matters is how you see yourself and if you have any doubt about who you are look at the shelf" said Hermione pointing to the book shelf beside his desk that had one shelf cleared of books and sat 15 glass orbs each with a monument of where they were when Draco had saved Hermione's life. She too had a shelf just the same with 13 orbs.

Before they could discuss it any further their rings went off and Dennis voice came out

"Hippogriff room 2 minutes"

"Damn 3 times I've tried to make this potion and every time I get interrupted" huffed Hermione as she picked up her cauldron and went to toss her half-Brewed potion

"What are you making" asked Draco as he looked at the strange pinkish silver potion

"Oh it's a contraception potion I invented you take it at the full moon and it will cover you for the whole month" said Hermione happily

"You really are amazing" said Draco getting up off the couch "Now hurry up we have to go" he said as he walked out of the office to go to the meeting

When the whole unit arrived, Dennis spoke first.

"Congratulations on a fantastic Year" He said proud "Over 500 arrested and countless people saved"

"Has it been a year already" asked Seamus.

"Today marks the 1-year anniversary of when you exited the Red door for the first time and I'm happy to say we are all still alive" Said Morgana with a rarely seen smile

"We got a tip from one of the men the Red team arrested last night. We found the bomb factory you're going in today. This will be a joint mission between all 5 teams, rescue the Hostages, collect or at least destroy the materials and arrest everyone".

"Oh well when you say it like that it seems so easy" laughed Jackson

"How many hostages" asked Alexis

"At least 20 elves" said Dennis

"You leave in 1 Hour you need to prepare of everything, the shielding on the warehouse will be very dark magic, this isn't a little fish" said Morgana with finality before walking out of the room

"There are extra-large potion transport containers in the Red room for you and you'll need the connect me potion as well, frank has made some for you just add all your hairs before you go" said Dennis walking to the door
