Chapter One: No Magic!
"I can't believe I was suspended from using magic for a whole Year…" The 18 year old Hermione Granger grumbled as she sat at the couch in her two best friend's room.
"Yeah I know, it's quite shocking." The shaggy red headed teen said in an astonished tone as their other best friend walked into the room, handing out some lemon biscuits.
"What Ron said. But, we can't help but wonder, what did you do? I mean, to get suspended from magic is one thing, but for a whole year? That's just…" Harry trailed off as he looked at Hermione's face, taking in the hint that it was about time to shut up. Because although she can't use magic, she has a mean fist when she needs to, and over the years the karate lessons for stress relief sure came in handy.
"Well anyway, I also need another job, just got fired." Hermione told them and they gave a sympathetic face, well, Harry did atleast.
"Wow, what a week you must be having! Monday's mustn't be your thing!" Ron said, as if there wasn't even a care in the world. He then took a bite of his biscuit.
"Gee, thanks Ron…" Hermione mumbled and then stood up, patting her tight fitting jumper softly and then brushing off the little bits of crumbles that fell onto the blue cotton. "Well, I'll be going now, cya's." Hermione announced as she picked up her bag and slung it over her shoulder while taking some steps toward the door as the other two males emerged from their seats.
As Hermione walked closer to the door she was stopped from exiting as she felt a firm but soft hand grip around her wrist.
"Are you sure? You can't use magic, so you might get into some kind of danger." Ron said to her worried. "You know, I can escort you there or something if you wanted, just to be safe." He quickly added.
Hermione quickly looked over his shoulder, just to see if Harry had exited the room, and he had, leaving them to be alone-Ofcorse. "No, it's fine." Hermione told him and gave a soft, passionate smile, thanking him for being worried.
See, for quite some time there was some hidden romance between the two but yet no further actions had been placed, not even a confession from one another.
"Well, I'll be off now, take care." Hermione said as she patted his shoulder before she left, leaving her sweet aroma in the swaying wind.
"I still can't help but wonder what happened…" Ron mumbled as he went and joined Harry in the kitchen and Harry then looked up at him, a smile placed on his face.
"Hermione's our friend, she'll come and tell use when she's ready." Harry reassured him and then passed him a plate to dry with the old hand towel. Ron sighed and nodded, taking in the place around him and gave alittle smile aswell. It has been allmost a year since the two started being roommates, but because of Hogwarts and being in the same cabin, it was nothing awkward when Ron decide to be Harry's roommate.

"Even if it is only the afternoon, it sure is chilly." Hermione muttered to herself as she walked down the cold alley, passing stares as she went. "Those Lemon biscuits were yummy…" She thought as she continued walking, turning a swift left and then a narrow right, but soon came to a holt as she looked up to see what was in front of her. It was an un-dead like creature, one that witches and wizards have been told to stay away from, but with no magic to defend her, Hermione was hopeless.
So she made a runner, skipping around the creature and jumping over any rocks that were in her way, hoping she could make it to her house in time. She started panting and quickly breezed a look behind her but soon felt her face hit the solid ground. She had just fallen over.
"Arg…" She mumbled and sat up right and watched as some blood hit the earth which formed the shape of rain drops. "A-hhh…ah…" Hermione wheezed, the monster's hands gripping around her neck and it was then that she came to realize what she was up against. It was an un-dead creature, but it also had horns sticking out from parts of its body, and those horns were used to suck the life out of youthful magic users, and Hermione was now going to be one of them.
She shut her eyes tight, and placed her tiny hands around the monsters, and tried to pull them off, but found no luck but soon and very strangely, she had found herself gasping in air and felt the gasp around her neck lighten, and then disappear, for the monster had vanished!
Hermione opened her eyes, her dreamy chocolate pools looking around for the source that had saved her life but then grimaced as she noticed exactly who had saved her life.
"Draco…" She mumbled and stood up, her index finger tapping her blood lip, while her eyes scanned up and down Draco's body, taking in the changes that had been bestowed upon him.
"Well Mud-blood, long time no see." He snickered at her, his smirk taking place on his now gorges face. "So I hear that you can't use magic for a whole year, lucky I came, huh?" He said to her, rubbing in the fact that she couldn't use magic.
"What do you want?" Hermione then snapped at him. There was allways a reason that Draco would show up in front of her, so there must of have been a great reason for him to come and save her.
"Well, let's think what you want." Draco answered her and stepped closer to her, so that their toes were inches away from each other. He then bent and licked the blood off her lip, which surprised Hermione, making herself back away from him, confused and alarmed.
Draco smirked. "Let's make a deal." He started. "You lost your magic, AND your job, and last I checked, the jobs around here absolutely need magic and seeing as you lost yours well, I don't think you might be able to survive." Draco told her, and from the looks of this, she didn't like where this was going. "And you know, I wonder how embarrassing it would be if people found out that you allmost had been killed by a second rate monster, and oh, word spreads fast." He added and Hermione's eye brows furrowed.
"Just get to the point!" Hermione snapped, her voice full of venom, but she knew he was right. Even though the magical world might seem nice, well in fact, it isn't. And it would be very embarrassing if the whole magical area had found out about her 'no magic dilemma' and 'her allmost second rate kill'.
"Well, in return for me saving you, AND for me not going to tell anyone, you have to work for me." He told her, and her face was full of shock, her lovely frame fitting into a pale look.
"W-work for you? Never!" Hermione snapped but once she noticed his 'evil' smirk, she knew that if her little 'secret' got out, it wouldn't be good. "How much is the pay? And what is the job?" She then asked. If the pay was good, she might accept but it also depended on what job that Draco would have to offer her.
"Well, the pay is great, I promise you that." He answered her first question. "And the job is my personal maid."
