Title: Beauty and the Beast
Author: Mjade
Summary: Draco/Mione fic. One year after graduation. Ron and Harry go exploring and when they don't come back Hermione begins to worry. I know the title is corny but I named it that because the plot line is based on that.

Rating: PG/Romance
Author's Note: It's my first Harry Potter fic, and I'm really, really, sorry that it had to be corny. I'm not sure if you like it, but I didn't exactly expect you would. There I said it!
P.S. If you like Star Wars and Obi/Ami, read my two other stories. R/R!
It was one year after graduation when Hermione Granger met up with her two best friends again. After all, Harry Potter and Hermione became aurors, but Ron Weasley was still unsure of what to do. They had asked Hermione to come with them to a trip in Paris, well more like a 'business trip' as Harry had said. It wasn't totally a lie, indeed they did come for fun but Harry was given an assignment to investigate an old mansion. Some mention of death eaters lurking there. Anyway, here comes the story.
"Oi! Ron, you coming?" Harry called.
"Hold on a second! I'm coming!" Ron shouted back from inside the bathroom of the flat they checked in at the inn, in Paris. With that, Harry sighed and turned to Hermione.
"You sure you don't want to come, Hermione?" Harry asked, wishing she wanted to go. "Heard you did a great job in your latest assignment as an auror."
Hermione smiled up at him. "I wish I could go but I wanted my days in Paris to be a vacation. Don't worry, I want to explore the town a little bit."
Ron finally came out of the bathroom. "Mione, I wish you would come," he said, uncertain if he wanted her to be left alone. On their first day in Paris, Hermione had run into a guy named Gaston (a/n: sorry, I couldn't think of another name) and he fancied her, while Hermione absolutely loathed him. He had been very irritating in the past few days. Hermione hugged Harry and Ron, as they both gave her a kiss on her cheek. And they left. Hermione stood up on her toes and waved good-bye until Harry and Ron and their horses had disappeared into the vanishing point.
She sighed and went out into the village, determined to return the book she borrowed. They had no public libraries but they had a bookshop full of stories, and that was enough. The small village in Paris was practically all Muggle, so she hoped she could find a wizard or witch who would believe her. Hermione began to sing, "Little town, it's a quiet village" she looked around and walked "everyday, like the one before. Little town, full of little people, waking up to say."
"Bonjour!" said one man as he passed by.
"Bonjour!" "Bonjour!" Said another man and his wife.
"Bonjour!" Said a townsman.
"Bonjour!" Said the baker. Hermione smiled, it was also a friendly village. "There goes the baker with his tray like always, the same old bread and rolls to sell. Every morning just the same since the morning that we came to this provincial town-"
"Hello, Miss Granger! Where are you off to?"
"The book shop. I just finished the most wonderful story about a beanstalk and an ogre and a -"
"That's nice. Marie, the baguettes, hurry up!" The baker said, uninterested in what she had to say. Hermione sighed and walked over, ignored the people who always whispered about her.
"Now, there's no wonder that she is a beauty, her looks have got no parallel!" A woman said.
"But behind that fair facade, I'm afraid she's rather odd, very different from the rest of us is Miss Granger!" Said the barber and the woman nodded with him.
"Hello Miss Granger!" Said the bookkeeper.
"Good Morning. Please call me Hermione," Hermione said, "I've come to return the book I borrowed."
"Finished already?"
"Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?" Hermione said, as she looked at the shelves full of books.
"Ha, ha! Not since yesterday!"
"That's okay. I'll borrow this one!"
"That one?" The bookkeeper looked at her "But you've read it twice!"
"Well, it's my favorite!" Hermione said gazing above. "Far off places, good wizard vs. the evil wizard, magic spells, and a wizard in disguise!"
"Well, if you like it all that, it's yours!" The bookkeeper laughed.
"But sir?"
"I insist!"
"Well, thank you! Thank you very much!" Hermione smiled gratefully, and she left the shop and opened the book. More peoples eyes turned toward her and they sang, "Look there, she goes! That girl who's strange, but special! A most peculiar mademoiselle!" Hermione stopped as she sat on the fountain and began to sing " Oh, isn't this amazing? It's my favorite part because you'll see.here's where she meets a charming wizard. But she won't discover that it's him 'till chapter three." Hermione walked farther until she bumped into someone who *unpleasantly* blocked her way.
"Hello Hermione!" Gaston said, as he grinned his shiny white teeth smile. Ron's teeth were a little bit more yellowish, but it was a definitely more pleasant sight to see. Oh no, Hermione thought.
"That's Miss Granger," Hermione said sternly.
"Why that, when we know each other so well? 6 days has past so quickly!" Gaston said as he grabbed the book. "How can you read this? There are no pictures."
"Whatever. Well some people can read with using their head as a tool for imagination, you know?" Hermione said. Trying to get her book back. "Can I have my book back? PLEASE!" Gaston handed the book back to her.
"You know, Hermione. Maybe you and I can go out sometime. Hang around at the bar?" Gaston said, starting to brag. "There I can show you all the animals I shot and all the medals I won for 'Best Hunter of the Year Award'!"
"Maybe some other time!" Hermione said hastily. "I'm a little occupied at the moment. Au revoir!" She said as she went back into the inn and grinned at Gaston's frown.
A/N: Well that's chapter one. Please read and review. Thanks so much!
