 Go YANKEES!!!
Chapter 37:Getting There
"Maybe You-Know-Who would go to one of his old followers houses." Ron suggested. Both Draco and Harry looked at eachother with surprised expressions on their faces. "Wow Ron. That's a brillant idea." Draco replied. "Really?" Ron asked embrassed. "Yeah." Harry said. "I'm impressed Ron." Draco said with a smirk. "Thanks." Ron said turning alittle red, almost matching his hair. Even though for most of the time Ron knew Draco he hated him, now that they were actually friends, it was nice to have his approval or to impress him. "Where should we start?" Ron asked curiously. "Well we don't have much time. Voldemort has too many followers, and we have little time." Draco replied seriously. "That's right. We have to do process of elimation. Who does Voldemort consider his most loyal servant?" Harry asked them. "I think I know, but I don't want to say." Ron said nervously. "Who do you think it is?" Draco pressed on. "Your father." Ron answered unsure. There was a deep silence for a few moments. "Maybe. My father...(Draco struggled to say knowing that he was dead and that he killed him)did do alot for him. He was the first on the scene when Voldemort returned according to you Harry." Draco said as he looked at Harry. "It's not a huge leap to think that Voldemort would want to hold Hermione and Ginny there. My house is huge, big enough to hold not only the girls but all his followers too." Draco said as he turned around to look towards the horizon. "Wait! Maybe Voldemort wants us to think like this. He figures that Dumbledore and The Minstry will look in the most obvious places. We have to think outside the box. What if Voldemort put Ginny and Hermione right under our noses?" Harry asked them intently. "Harry your brillant!" Ron shouted excitedly. "That's genius. I'm glad I took you guys along for the ride after all." Draco said with a grin. Ron and Harry smirked back. "Ok. This is a start. If anyone knows the wizarding world better than me, it's you two. Where would there be a place where no one would be, or is abandoned?" Harry asked seriously. Ron exchanged looks with Draco as he thought for awhile. "The Blackstone Building!" Draco said. "The who?" Harry asked confused. "This old building just outside of Hogwarts. It's in a Muggle town called CrossWood. They use to sell the best shoes in town. Dad made me visit there with him to check out what kind of things Muggles wore on their feet." Ron said alittle embrassed. "Oh." Harry said. "You know what. now that I think about it, that would be the perfect place to hold someone prisoner." Draco said enthusiasticly. "Why do you say that?" Harry asked interested. Ron got a huge smile on his face because he knew the answer. "Because the place, and the entire town has been empty for years. Many Muggles moved away to better places and others lost their businesses. So eventually the town got abandoned." Draco replied. "That's it then. That's our best shot at finding the girls. Let's go." Harry declared. Then they were well on their way. Let's hope that there heading for the right place.
