When Harry and Ron returned to the office, Harry sat down at his desk again and added notes on the case. He requested that the Junior Auror who'd originally submitted the case, follow up on their new discovery.
Then, since it was too quiet and there wasn't much else to do, he and Ron decided to create a short task-force to look over any complaints that might have come into the DMLE regarding any discrimination towards wizards that had any associations with Purebloods or former Death Eaters.
"Do you think Malfoy faced discrimination also, maybe that's why he brought the case over to us?" Ron asked as he closed the case-file for Gleb and handed it back to Harry.
"I thought about that too. I wanted to ask him about it. You know? Maybe the New Gringotts didn't want to open an account for the Malfoys, either. Or maybe, they thought that if they'd turn his family down, then they'd really make the news," Harry said.
Ron chuckled. "Wanted to ask but was too busy snogging in Diagon Alley?"
Harry rolled his eyes. "You either tease me for not being sure enough, and then I make my move, you tease me for it."
Ron shrugged. "That's what friends are for, you know," he said. "So how was the kiss? Did you hear church bells? Did it blow your mind? Did you feel like you were some daredevil flying through a fiery hoop?"
Harry groaned. "Oh, those analogies! Don't tell me you won Hermione's heart by sweet talking her like that! I can't believe she married you!" Harry threw a piece of parchment at Ron just as quickly as he threw out his insults. "Besides, I think you're confusing how you would feel if you'd actually kissed Malfoy. Merlin knows it sounds like you want to!"
"Who wants to kiss Malfoy?" Hermione walked over to their desk at the same time and it gave Harry a start. He hoped he hadn't been too loud that others had heard him too.
"Harry already kissed him today," Ron said and Hermione made a face. He turned to Harry and spoke. "Now she'll turn to you and tell you that's not proper Pureblood courting."PART SEVENTEEN
