Hermione sprinted down the stairs of Number 12 Grimmauld Place. She was all decked out for her date tonight, with Paul Avery- an Auror who worked at the Ministry like her. She was all grown up now, living with Sirius, Remus, Harry and Ginny at the headquarters for the Order. Harry and Ginny had gotten married, and Sirius had invited them to live with him.
Hermione was a simple, no-frills girl, but could really clean up nice, as they say. She had on a classy, subtly sexy black dress. It came modestly to just above the knee, but had a low- dipping top. It played up her curves delectably.
She apparated to her destination- Fernando's Fancies. An odd name for a restaurant, but the lasagna was divine, she heard.
She didn't notice the amber eyes watching her as she left.
Paul was there waiting for her.
"Hello, Hermione" he said in his delicious baritone. "You look gorgeous"
"Hi Paul!" she replied "You look quite nice yourself"
And nice he did look. He was the epitome of the saying tall, dark and handsome. At a tall 6'4 to her 5'4, long and lean, dark brown eyes and black hair. All the ladies in her Magical Law Enforcement department swooned when walked by. She was the rumor of the day- the brilliant, famous but workaholic Hermione Granger getting asked out by the heartthrob of the Ministry? Never!
But here they were.
Paul held out his arm to Hermione, and escorted her to their table- a little booth nestled in the corner- very romantic. They sat down and started talking.
"So" said Hermione, genuinely interested. "How's work? Do you have any more evidence to convict the Death Eaters? I heard that they found something in Rosier's house from tho-"
Paul cut her off. "Hermione" he drawled. "I don't want to discuss work, especially not with you in that lovely little dress.
She blushed, unused to the attention. She had never been the pretty one- just the chubby bookworm. The dress made her feel overexposed. Her baby fat and gone either up or down, giving her a very curvaceous body.
"Hermione, do you dance?" Paul asked. "Would you like to?"
"Um, ok" She replied, not expecting that a restaurant like this would have a dance floor, but hey! It was the wizarding world.
