A/N: Hey! I'm draco-herm4eva/someone you don't want to know. Well, I'm actually known as P_ _ _ Y _ _ P and I am one of the guys who planned out this fic. Pikachu and Ida are the other ones. Hope you enjoy reading this fic as much as I wrote IT!! And I was the only one who continued this!! Sheesh!! This is a Harry/Hermione/Draco Love Triangle but it will turn out as a Draco/Hermione in the end.
Now, onto the fic, Got To Believe. (Based on the movie here in our country.)
"Hey Hermione! Guess what..there'll be a new Auror here!!" Virginia or better known as Ginny, Hermione's best friend also sister of her other best friend Ron.
"Is it everyone's favorite Harry Potter..also Virginia Weasley's future husband!!!"
"HERMIONE!!"
"Ok, ok Ginny. No, seriously, is it Harry?"
"Nu-uh..it's..it's.. DRACO MALFOY"
"What? Are they nuts? Are they out of their minds? DRACO MALFOY is the new Auror??!!! Did they forget that his father WAS a death-eater? HUH? HUH?"
"Hermione, calm down. It's just Draco!"
"Calm down Ginny! Calm down! Why would I calm down? It's Draco Malfoy we're talking about!!"
"Remember what you said when you were in Seventh year, that Draco's not that bad. Remember that?"
"Well, actually I don't remember it. But, maybe he has changed. I'll just try and act civil to him."
"That's great Herm!"
The next day…
The other workers were excited to see the new and improved 'Draco Malfoy'. They were wondering why on earth Draco would do this, and all thought that he was a future death-eater just like his father who died in a battle protecting You-Know-Who. (A/N: Ok, ok it's Lord Voldemort. AND..HE DOES NOT SCARE ME..OR IT!!) When they heard a car beep (A/N: Actually, think of it as a 'luxury car'. Maybe, a new BMW? LOLz) Out stepped a tall chestnut-haired man and a blonde man from the car and immediately went straight to the door. All the workers went fast to their offices knowing that maybe their director will get mad at them for 'eavesdropping'.
"Good Morning people! I would like all of you to meet..Draco Malfoy!" Mr. Levi Lydfinkle, the director of their offices in the 'muggle world' introduced him to the workers. They just stared and stared..waited and waited..but nothing happened.
"Uhm, why don't you just bring me to the other Aurors Mr. Lydfinkle?" Draco winced and glared at each one who stared at him intently.
"Sure Mr. Malfoy, fine with me!"
With that, they left and opened two large oak doors with carved figures of death, death, and more death! 'I like this place!' Draco thought to himself. As they entered, all the people were also staring at him but then went back to what they were doing as if they don't care. (A/N: But really, they were taken aback!)
"Ok Draco, I'm going to let you meet the finest Aurors who are working here. Come on, let's go!"
One by one, Mr. Lydfinkle introduced them until the last name was called.
"Hermione Granger"
Hermione stepped up from her seat and shaked hands with Draco. He was stunned and at the same time startled. His eyes were bulging and he blushed and turned red like a tomato!!
*Draco's P.O.V.*
God…she looked so beautiful!! It's been a long time, maybe about 4 years when we were just Head Boy and Girl sharing the same room, well not exactly room, it's…a common room! I remember when we went to Spain for a convention to Institucion La Magica, she was so sweet and thoughtful! I remember when we were teasing each other and throwing pillows at each other. Hhhhmmmmm….memories…Draco? Draco? Draco? What?
"Draco? Are you alright?" Mr. Lydfinkle intrerrupted his train of thoughts.
"Uhm..yeah, I'm alright!"
"Ok, you may sit next to Ms. Granger and she can help you with things that you still do not know."
"Hermione? No way!! Can you just let me sit with somebody else?"
"But why Mr. Malfoy, do you have some sort of crush on her or something?" Mr. Lydfinkle chuckled and winked while Draco was blushing furiously.
"Huh? Us? No way!! We were just friends, no, I mean we were enemies then, you know, she was Head Boy and I was Head Girl..I mean I was Head Boy and she was Head Girl!!" Draco replied fretfully.
"Well then, might as well go up to her soon. You have many things to learn. Go on Draco!" With a twinkle in his eyes and a nudge in the arm, he left leaving poor Draco behind.
*Draco's P.O.V.*
What am I going to say to her? Maybe, hhhmmm wait…Hi Hermione! Long time no see!! No, no that's too corny. O-or maybe, Hey Hermione I didn't know you work as an Auror here in London! NO..too dorky. Or maybe…
"Draco? Draco? Are you ok? Mr. Levi told me to teach you the basic things here."
"O-oh H-H-Hi H-h-Her-her-mi-mione! Y-yeah, y-you kn-know, l-l-lots t-to l-l-lea-learn!!" 'Uh..why do I have to be too panicky when I'm in front of her!!' Draco mentally slapped himself for being an idiot.
"What's with all the stuttering Draco?"
"N-nothing Hermione..I mean Granger..I mean Hermione..I mean Granger!!"
"Ok Draco, are you alright?! Really?" Hermione questioned him one more time.
"Yes, I'm fine Granger!!" Draco yelled back. 'HHMhmhm…that's how it should be. I should be calm and collect…especially when I'm in front of her. Of all people, why does it have to be her!!' he thought to himself.
"So, we're in the last-name terms again, huh?" 'Mione haughtily queried Draco.
Draco turned his back against Hermione and explained how he got here and about how he really forgot about her until today. When he faced her again all she saw was a retreating Hermione saying that 'they'll just meet up in her office' and saying her 'goodbyes'. Draco stayed there, unable to move. 'What a move to start a day' he thought to himself. He sat in his plush chair and gazed keenly at the door.
*Draco's P.O.V.*
Why am I always thinking about her? Ok, so Hermione's..I mean Granger's good-looking, I should say. And, she is smart, for a muggle. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I think I have got a fondness for her. I mean it was pretty obvious in our Seventh Year, she was one of those people who I admire and that made other people flabbergasted, that us, Hermione Granger, a Gryffindor and Draco Malfoy, a Slytherin were actually in good terms already!! I mean after 6 long years we have come to a truce and that we should be more civil with each other from now on. I still remember those times. I lo…
*knock, knock*
"Uhm, come in!" Draco cleared his throat then squeaked, then Hermione came in.
"Well, well, well, what a cute voice you have!!" Hermione haughtily remarked.
Draco smirked at her snide comment.
"Well, anyways, Mr. Lydfinkle asked me to invite you to coffee or something..the coffee shops here sell lip-smacking pastries and stuff." Hermione pompously said.
"Ok, don't have to brag about it! Sheesh!!" Draco answered without being serious.
With that, Hermione left with an annoyed look on her face and slammed the door shut. 'AAHhh..now this is the life! Now, what was I thinking about? Oh my, my mind went totally blank! Well, might as well go with Mr. Levi'. Draco opened the door and saw many people staring at him, of course being a Malfoy and all, he had his usual trademark smirk planted on his face. Upon reaching Mr. Lydfinkle's office, he saw another office that is almost similar to his and went in without even knocking. There he saw Virginia Weasley, Gwyneth Wallkin, Lavender Brown, Parvati and Padma Patil drinking coffee and was talking about something but was inaudible to hear. Ginny saw him and immediately had an outburst.
"Draco Malfoy! What are you doing here? This is the lounging room for girls only!!"
"Ok fine!! Don't be too harsh you know!" Draco yelped at her.
He closed the door noisily so that everyone can hear. As he turned around he bumped into Hermione and she spilled her coffee to Draco's shirt. They stayed for about 5 minutes or so, where Draco's hands held Hermione's arms, and were Hermione's hands were on his chest. Draco studied her face, 'Her face is so angelic!' was the thought that was bothering him. Hermione was the first to break the silence.
"Draco! Don't you know that boys, I mean men are prohibited in the girls' lounging room?" Hermione said sternly.
"Aren't you first going to apologize?" Draco retorted sarcastically.
"Well, SORRY!!" Hermione rudely answered back leaving a smirking Draco with a stained shirt.
