Theo walked out of his room with a pair of royal blue panties. “Umm, Draco, Blaise, did either of you fuck a witch in my bed?”
Blaise looked at him like he was crazy. “No mate. I usually don’t bring witches back here. Those are not from any witch I have shagged. I usually vanish their panties anyways for ease.” He said with a smirk.
Draco laughed at Blaise’s answer. “They are definitely not Granger’s knickers. I purchased all of hers.” He looks speculatively at Theo. “Are you sure you didn’t just get drunk and shag someone that you forgot about?”
“Definitely not,” Theo answered. “They are for a petite witch though. Obviously, someone has used my room though.”
Blaise and Draco looked at each other and shrugged.
“Granger,” Theo yelled. He waited until she came into the room.
When she arrived into the living room, she surveyed the scene. “What’s going on?”
Theo held up the blue panties. “These aren’t yours are they?”
Draco scoffed, “I already told you they weren’t.”
Theo rolled his eyes, “do you know who’s they are?”
Granger looked at the panties. “They are not mine. They do look like something Ginny would wear though. Where did you find them?”
“They were under my bed. Did you typically let your friend’s into my room?”
“No! Ginny was last over here three days ago, but she was never in your room. I promise."
“Floo call her now. Ask her over here. I need to get to the bottom of this,” Theo prompted.
“Okay,” she said hesitantly. She called Ginny and asked if she could come over. Minutes later, Ginny arrived, brushing the lingering soot off her clothes.
“Heya, Hermione. What’s the emergency?”
“Are these your panties?” he asked holding them up to her.
Her eyebrows raised. “Where did you find them? I search Hermione’s room for twenty minutes for those.”
“They were under my bed. What were you doing in my room?”
“I wasn’t in your room!” She yelled. “Last I was here. Hermione and I went shopping and I was trying on my new items in her bathroom. Like I said, I looked for those for twenty minutes. I couldn’t find them anywhere in her room or bathroom. I assumed they vanished or there was some sort of charm against panties in their room. So, I just kept the new ones I had on in fear that I would lose those too.”
“Likely story,” Theo accused.
Hermione defended Ginny, “she’s right. She only changed in my bathroom. However, we definitely do not have a charm to vanish panties from the floor.”
“So, if I drop these on the floor they won't disappear?” she dropped her panties on the floor.
“I don’t believe that you were not in my room." Theo accused.
Before he could finish his sentence, Crookshanks poked his head out from under the couch and swiped the panties underneath the couch.
“Crooks,” Hermione called. "Give those back to Ginny.” She bent down to look under the couch. However, Crookshanks was already out the other side and entering into Theo’s bedroom the panties in his mouth.
Hermione stood and looked triumphantly at Theo, “looks like we know how those panties got into your room, Theo.”
Ginny put her hands on her hips, “Do I have permission to enter your room to fetch my panties from Hermione’s cat?”
“Depends, will you be donating a new pair of panties while you're there?”
“Oh, Theodore, I do not think that you can handle me,” Ginny countered.
Draco groaned, “Oh shite, it’s finally happening.”
Hermione said, “What is happening? Are you okay, Draco?”
Theo walked to his room and turned on the light causing Crookshanks to dart from the room sans knickers. “Well, come on Red. Let’s find some panties.” He gestured to the open door. Ginny practically skipped inside, Theo grinned at them all before snapping the door shut.
Blaise yelled, “use a silencing charm,” before the door locked. They saw the shimmer go over the door from the spell.
Blaise turned to Draco, “100 galleons, please.”
Draco huffed, “Double it if he tells us he is in love with her by morning.”
Blaise shook his head, “No deal. We both know that Gin is going to rock his world and he will be chasing her like a puppy.”
Draco’s shoulders sagged, “fine. I’ll get you the money by morning.”
Hermione put her hands on her hips, “you both bet on when they would hook up.”
Blaise nodded. “Draco thought it would be within the first six months and I bet on 6-12 months since we started living here.”
Hermione smirked. “Then Blaise, you owe Draco 100 galleons then.” Draco whipped his head to look at her. “Those two have been screwing for the last month, that’s why she bought those knickers on our shopping spree.”
“But she said she wasn’t in his room,” Draco countered, then shook his head since he was now ahead on the bet.
“She hasn’t. She has had an empty flat since I moved in here. I wouldn’t be surprised if he moves in with her in the next 6 months.”
“I’ll take that bet, 50 galleons,” Blaise offered. “Theo may be in love with her, but I doubt he would move in with her that quickly.”
Hermione and Blaise shook hands. "Deal."
