Hello. I am well aware of the fact that this is not allowed, so let's drop all the 'i'm going to report you', 'this is against the rules' yada yada crap. I will take this down once I find what I'm looking for.

I've searched long and hard for these two stories and I just can't seem to find either one. So this is my last attempt at searching for the two. I don't remember the exact premise of the stories, as it's been ages since I last read both, so forgive me for the vague descriptions.

Story #1: Draco and Hermione are dating in secret. Draco gets mad upon discovering that Neville is taking Hermione out to dinner. Hermione says there's no need to worry, but Draco believes otherwise and that Neville has been after Hermione for ages. The two get into a fight where Hermione mentions she's tired of hiding and how she'd want to be able to go out in public with her boyfriend. The fight doesn't end well and Hermione's dinner with Neville pushes through. In a jealous act, Draco takes Pansy out to dinner to the same place Hermione and Neville are at to spy on the two. During the dinner, Hermione notices Draco with Pansy. The two get jealous over the other's dinner partners and fight in public; exposing their relationship to everyone in the end.

Story #2: Draco and Hermione are working in the same place (in the Ministry, I think. Not entirely sure). Draco is ostracized by everyone in the workplace, until one day Hermione decides to join him for lunch at the cafeteria. From there, a friendship is created and the two get closer to the point that both Draco and Hermione's friends confront them about their friendship/relationship. Somewhere in the story, Draco asks Hermione for forgiveness. Saying that all he wants is for someone to forgive him. There's also a scene I recall in the cafeteria where Draco mentions being sick of the cafeteria food. Hermione says that she's sick of it too and proceeds to charm her food into something else. Apparently she's been doing that to her food for some time and shocks Draco for having not thought of doing that in the first place.

That's all I can recall from the two stories. I'm sorry for putting this up, but I hope someone out there can direct me to the stories I'm looking for. I will be eternally grateful for anyone's help in finding these stories for me.
