"Thank you! Come again!" Hermione said as she handed over a bag full of books to her latest customer.

The cozy little bookshop that she owned in downtown Hogsmead was fairly more crowded than usual for a Monday morning. Especially since there weren't any special Holidays coming up anytime soon. What she needed was help.

"Excuse me! Pardon me! Hey, put that down!" Ginny came pushing through the crowd of people trying to get through to the desk. "Ow! That was my foot!"

"Thanks Ginny for coming in to help! I really needed it!" Hermione and Ginny greeted each other with a hug.

"You know I don't mind coming in to help! As long as you come in and help with the Cafe one of these days!"

Hermione tried to smile but it was too hard. "As long as Ron or Harry isn't there, you still haven't told them about me have you?"

Hermione had been avoiding Harry and Ron ever since the end of their seventh year. She wanted more than anything in the world to be an Auror with them but back when things with Voldemort were getting 'too hard for her' according to Ron and Harry who began ignoring her, Hermione's mood changed and she just didn't want to be around them. Why Ron and Harry decided that she wasn't needed was always a mystery to her. The saddest thing of all to her was that she could never tell Harry how much she felt for him.

"I haven't told them about you at all, don't worry. Neville and them are so busy with being Aurors the usually never have anytime for breaks. Let's get to work then!"

Hermione turned around to bill up the next customer, unfortunately it was someone she didn't want to see.

"Hello Mudblood. How are you doing?"

"You know Malfoy, you shouldn't use that word in public. People will think you didn't like people like me." She said as she started adding up the price of his books.

"Now, who would think up a thing like that?" Malfoy asked handing her a handful of galleons and sickles. When Hermione didn't reply, he started speaking again. "Are you planning to go to the reunion for our year next week?"

Hermione was caught off guard, "Reunion? We're having a reunion?"

"Yes Granger, we're having a reunion. Is that so hard to believe?"

"Yes...and no." She said as she handed him his bag.

"Everybody would be surprised to see you, eh? You haven't seen anyone for the past ten years." He began to smile.

"I've seen plenty of people since school ended." She replied

"Really? We'll I've just talked to Potter and Weasley and they said they haven't seen you since."

"Harry and Ron are here!? They haven't been here since I've opened!"

"Well I guess they are then."

Hermione ducked and hit under the counter and put a loud speaker charm on her throat. "Ladies and Gentlemen! the store is now closing! So just...Leave! Now!"

Taking off the charm she thought to herself, That was close!
