Sadly I am not JK Rowling so I don't own Harry Potter. *tear* I only own the plot. P.S. this is my first ever fanfiction so please review but don't be too harsh...Please?
"Dude where are you taking me?", the blond asked. "Don't worry Drake, I know for a fact you'll enjoy where I'm talking you" replied his dark skined, Italian best friend as he drove down North Lamar street in Downtown Dallas toward their destination.
Blaise Zabini and Draco Malfoy had been best friends since early childhood and remained friends during and after their years at Hogwarts. Now ,at age 24, they were business partners as well. After the demise of Voldemort at the hands of Harry Potter, Draco's father was sentenced to life in Azkaban thus making Draco the head of the Malfoy family and business empire. While he was a smart business man he thought that the company would florish even more if he added another equally smart business man to the mix, in comes Blaise Zabini. While his family remained neutral during the war, his father was hunted down by neo death eaters and killed for "being a blood traitor" and not being on the Dark Lord's side, thus making Blaise the head of the Zabini family and business. Draco and Blaise combined their fathers' companies and became business partners. Just as Draco had thought, by combining both businesses and both their great minds, it florished greatly; so much that they even expanded internationally.
They were in Dallas, Texas for a business meeting to negotiate a possible merger. The meeting and negotiation had taken a week and ended with a successful merger but Blaise convinced his friend to stick around for another week or so to wind down from everything and just relax. Blaise, being the international playboy that he was, had been to Dallas multiple times and knew all the hotspots and took it upon himself to show Draco a good time while they were there. On his last trip to Dallas, a couple of his friends brought him to the House of Blues. He loved the food there but what had really gotten his attention was a certain performer. His friends had finished their meal and they were just having a few drinks at the bar while a band played some music when he saw a woman step out on the stage. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw her. She was beautiful, she had gorgeous, silky curls, chocolate brown eyes, gorgeous hourglass figure and an absolutely angelic voice. But was even more shocking to him was when he realized this beautiful woman was the one and only HERMIONE GRANGER.
"Blaise, seriously where are you taking me?", asked Draco. "I told you Draco, I'm taking you out to dinner and a show", replied Blaise.
"And...we're here", said Blaise as he pulled into the House of Blues parking lot. "Where exactly is here? House of blues? I thought you said we were going to dinner not a blue house, which looks nothing like a house by the way" argued Draco. Blaise chuckled at his friend, "its not a house Draco, it's actually a restaurant/concert venue. They have live music playing while you eat dinner and there are even live performers later on tonight." Blaise had already done his research, he found out that Hermione was a regular performer here and knew she would be performing tonight.
Of course he didn't tell Draco this, he figured it would be a nice little surprise. He knew his friend had harbored a crush on the brains of the Golden Trio since their fourth year after seeing her at the Yule Ball with Viktor Krum. He also knew he was crushed when he heard of her engagement to Ronald Weasley in the Daily Prophet a year after the war was over. Then not even a year into their engagement, it was called off. The Prophet had a whole page dedicated to this news but they had no clue as to the reason for the break up. He remembered the slight glimmer of hope he'd seen in Draco's eyes after he read the news. Unfortunately, his hope went away as quickly as it came; soon after the break up, Hermione Granger disappeared from the wizarding world never to be seen or heard from again. That is until Blaise found her on his last trip to Dallas.
"helloooo, earth to Blaise, come in Blaise."
"Huh? what?"
"I said are you okay? you sort of spaced out for a few minutes there" said Draco.
"oh sorry man, I'm still thinking about the merger", lied his friend.
"Don't worry, it went off without a hitch and it will be great for our company. Tonight is all about unwinding is it not? so stop thinking about business and lets get inside, I'm starving."
Together they walked into the venue and were led to their table by a lovely hostess. "Perfect", thought Blaise "we're close enough to the stage for Draco to see Hermione but far enough so she won't see us. This promises to be quite an eventful night."
What do you guys think so far? should I continue it? If I do, Hermione will finally make her appearance on the stage and boy will Draco be shocked, but pleasantly so. anyways please review! and if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them!
