Hermione Granger sat alone in a tea shop waiting for her fiancée sipping a cup of tea and thinking about Hogwarts. How could she have a great five years there, then on her sixth and seventh year, everything come crashing down? How could her two best friends leave her because she fell in love?

"Hermione, Hermione? You there?" Draco Malfoy asked her startling Hermione as he sat down.

"Huh? Oh sorry. I was thinking." She replied with a look of sadness upon her face.

"You were thinking about Hogwarts again weren't you? Look, here's some good news. An owl came today and said that Hogwarts was going to have a reunion. We should go. Dumbledore always knows what's going on between his past and present students. Maybe it will do you some good. You know, to have some fresh air, see familiar faces. And who knows, maybe you can talk to Ron and Harry about us. I know they don't understand, but maybe that's what we need. Hermione, I love you, I have always loved you ever since the day we met. But you never knew until the night of the Yull ball." Draco said as he finished his thought.

"Draco, I don't understand. What did you just say?" Hermione sat in the teacher's room across from the Great room stunned for what she just heard. She thought Draco was her enemy but he really liked her.

"Listen, I want to go out with you. I don't think Ron and Harry will understand, but I like you. No one will understand, not even father, but I don't care." He sat looking at her in silence while she gathered her thoughts.

Draco looked at her waiting for her response. He knew life was hard for his best friend, but he still wanted to marry her.

"I guess we should go. I mean it's really been ten years and I have grown since then. I moved out of my parent's house and I have a great job as a flight attendant. And you have your own Quiddich shop." Hermione said as she finished her cup of tea.

"Alright. I have to get back to work, so I will see you at dinner ok sweet heart?" Draco said.

"Ok. I have to go anyways I have things to do." Hermione said. They said their good byes and went on their separate ways.

Hermione went back to her apartment and turned on her answering machine.

"Hermione, it's me Ginny. I wanted to know if you are going to the reunion. Let me know and how's Draco? Ron's still pretty upset. So is Harry from what I hear. Call me later and we can talk. Love and miss you, Ginny.

Hermione smiled. Ginny Weasley was always there for her no matter what. Although she didn't approve of Hermione dating Draco, she caved after a while. Grabbing a cup of butterbeer, Hermione dialed Ginny's number. The phone rang and rang. Finally, a voice on the other line told her that Ginny was home.

"Ginny! Its soo good to hear from you." Hermione said with out even thinking.

"This isn't Ginny. It's Ron who is this speaking? She isn't home.

Hermione was confused. She knew Ginny lived alone but why was Ron there? Deciding to ask, Hermione thought it was best to not give her name.

"Where is Ginny Ron?" Hermione asked.

"First of all, until I know who this is, I can't tell you where she is." Ron said in a know-it-all tone.

"This is a friend. Just let me know where Ginny is." She said with a bit of disgust in her voice.

"Fine, Ginny went out for a bit and will be back later. Just like her when I needed to talk to my little sister." Ron replied and hung up.

Hermione, confused hung up her phone and decided to send an owl to Ginny. She knew Ron and she knew how long it would take for Ginny to get her messages. Grabbing a piece of parchment and a quill Hermione began to write. Getting her owl, Hermione tied the letter and sent the owl on the way. Hermione started to get ready for her date with Draco.
