How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days
Chapter 1
Hermione Granger, at the age of 24, was a writer for the wizarding world's most popular magazine. After she graduated from Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she found a nice flat in London, located right outside Diagon Alley, which she shared with Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil. After leaving her home away from home, Hogwarts, she had lost touch with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. For the first few weeks they had written letters to each other, but their lives just got too busy. She missed them dearly, but she had grown to have almost as good a friendship with Lavender and Parvati.
" This is why homeless people should be donated more goods everyday." Hermione read the last bit of her article.
" Wow. Herm, really touching" Parvati replied, "but it will never appear in Witch Weekly"
"God, I busted my butt in grad school to be 'Hermione Granger the how to girl' to write articles like 'How to use the best pick up lines' and like 'Do Blondes, do they like really have more fun" Hermione said sarcastically.
Parvati laughed.
" I wanna write about things that matter. Like what's going on in Azkaban, or the homeless or the Ministry of Magic"
" Keep bustin' your butt and you'll get there" Parvati said as she walked back over to her desk. "I've got something to cheer you up. You know that editor that you have been shamelessly flirting with, for a month now. Look what he gave me this morning"
Parvati opened her purse and pulled out a white envelope. She smiled up at Hermione.
Hermione laughed and tried to reach for the envelope, but Parvati wouldn't let her take it. Finally Hermione snatched it out of her grip, still laughing she opened it up.
"Ohhhh! Yes! Tomorrow night."
"What happens tomorrow night" Parvati said nonchalantly
"Only the most athletic display known to man kind."
Parvati squealed. "The fairy figure skaters are in town?!"
Hermione rolled her eyes, "No." She turned around and yelled out to everyone. "The Quidditch finals are in town!!"
". and I got tickets!!!"
"Ah I see..." Parvati didn't seem excited. She never liked the sport. She remembered when they were in school, Hermione never cared for it either, but she just suddenly picked up this love for it. 'She must miss Ron and Harry so much that she started to adore the only thing those two praised'
" Come with me" Hermione said with an innocent smile on her face.
" All right, I'll go."
"Oh I love you!" Hermione squealed and walked back over to her desk. As soon as she sat down, Cho Chang who was discreetly annoying, popped in.
"Good morning ladies." she said perkily. "Don't forget. Staff meeting in 30 minutes!" she flipped her shoulder length black hair over her shoulder and walked away.
Hermione and Parvati both rolled their eyes and laughed. Cho could be so annoying some times.
As they got back to work, Hermione realized something. She looked up at Parvati who was staring back and then she pointed a finger to the cubical next to her.
" Lavender. Haven't seen her all morning."
" She's probably sulking at home"
Hermione sighed. "Well it's my turn, grab three coffees and I'll meet you at the front in 20 minutes"
" Wait! Wait, wait!" Parvati bent down and reached for a black shopping bag under her desk. She stood up and handed it to Hermione.
"Samples"
"Ah samples! Good idea" she grabbed the bag and ran towards the stairs. On the way, a lady in a pink blouse and jean skirt came by with a cart full of shirts. Hermione quickly grabbed a green one. 'That will go nice on Lavender' she thought as she stuffed it in her bag and continued her journey up the stairs.
Parvati shook her head. She reached down and grabbed money off Hermione's desk for the coffees. "Drama, drama, drama"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
Hannah Abbott walked down the streets of London, holding her fashionable jean purse. She was wearing her normal work clothes, which consisted of gray knee length skirt, white blouse and a black suit jacket over it. She walked up to a magazine stand and picked up a copy of 'The witch weekly', flipping through it as she walked across the street to the building in which she worked at.
Coming down the street she saw Harry Potter on his motorcycle. He parked right in front of where she was standing.
" Hello Harry" she said nonchalantly.
" Good morning Han" he said as he took off his helmet. Harry had grown into a very good-looking man, not that he wasn't in school. He was now 6'1 but with the muscles which prevented him from looking lanky. After graduating he and Ron decided to get a flat together inside Diagon Alley. Harry worked at and advertisement agency. Ron and Draco Malfoy, who had surprisingly married Ginny Weasley, both worked with him as well. It was nice to work with people you know. He also had old classmates working in the same building which was nice. Hannah Abbott, Dean Thomas, Oliver Wood and Luna Lovegood. You'd think since he and Hermione lived so close, that they'd bump into each other. But as the birth rate raised, there were now more little witches and wizards moving to Diagon Alley, and it was one heck of a busy place.
Harry walked up to where Hannah was standing and smiled as he saw what she was reading.
"So catching up on your current events eh?"
Hannah rolled her eyes and lowered the magazine and looked at him, as he read the captions on the cover.
"How to make him hot... well if you want to try those out some time, maybe we could get toget -" he could not finish because Hannah, who was feeling annoyed, turned her head to look at him.
"Luna and I have an appointment at 'Witch Weekly'" she said turning to flip through the magazine again. "It's the fastest growing magazine in the wizarding world. And since our clients run a lot of our campaigns, in their little girly magazine, it wouldn't hurt for you to do some reading." She said matter-of-factly as she shoved the magazine at his chest, and smirked at him.
Luna Lovegood, decided to walk out just then.
" Hey Harry" she said as she walked out, sporting the same look as Hannah.
" 'Ey Lovegood" he nodded towards her.
She smirked, "Finally decided to show up?"
He smirked right back at her and nodded. "Yes, I did"
Luna gave him a 'whatever' look and turned to Hannah. "Ready?"
"Yep. I'm ready. Later Har"
They smiled innocently at him and then walked away and he turned around and walked through the doors of the building.
