Moving on - Chapter 1
A/N: I own nothing except the plot. All the characters belong to J.K Rowling.
Hermione was sitting at her desk waiting to be called into her boss's office.
Three years has past since the Battle of Hogwarts. The war went on for just under two years. The death eaters captured and tourchured innocent muggle borns.
The war was very brutal and many innocent people were killed.
In the end, Harry killed Voldemort, saving the wizarding world. But after the war there was lots of clean up work to be done.
It was at the end of the war when Hermione fell apart. She lost everything. Her parents, most of her friends and her home.
She knew she had to get out of the wizarding world. So she travelled around the muggle world for 6 months. She loved experiencing the different cultures.
When she came back to her friends, nothing was the same.
Ron was no longer there, he ran off to be with his wife, Lavender - Lav Lav.
Ginny married Blaise Zabini. It's hard to believe, but they actually make the cutest couple.
Same with Harry and Pansy Parkinson. Who would have thought?
Both of the couples live in the Wizarding world. And Hermione hasn't seen them in three years.
The whole Weasley family was still grieving with the loss of Fred and Arthur. Molly has never been the same since the death of her husband.
And although Hermione could live there and continue on with her life, she didn't want to. The war affected her too much.
They say war always lives in you. And for Hermione it is absolutely true. She witnessed some brutal things and even undertook some herself.
Still to this day Hermione has 'Mudblood' carved into her arm, by Bellatrix when she was tourchured in the Malfoy Mannor.
Luckily, all the Death Eaters were thrown in jail. Including the worst of them all, Lucius Malfoy. He was left to rot in jail for life, but died only a few months after being thrown in there.
Narcissia and Draco Malfoy were excused from all crimes as they switched sides during the war. But their magic was taken from them, just to be sure.
But the famous Malfoy name is no longer the same. No one trusted the Malfoy's after what they did.
In the end Narcissia found a small place in the country side of England and Draco moved to America. Both were forced to live the muggle way.
Hermione decided she needed to leave, and ran away to America, also.
She spent 6 moths starting over. She bought an apartment in New York and scored herself a good job editing books for a big U.S company.
Hermione hardly used magic these days. She didn't need it.
During this time, she came across Draco Malfoy. She was scared at first, but then began to realise he hd changed a lot.
His platinum hair was no longer slicked back, it was messy, in all the right places.
He wore muggle attire and even drove a car and owned a mobile.
Who would have thought?
Draco eventually charmed her over with his naturally good looks and witty flirtatious remarks.
As they went out on dates, they began to realise neither one was like what they were at school.
Although, Hermione was still a bookworm and Draco was still a charmer.
All too soon, they started seeing each other everyday, as they couldn't bear to be apart. And once sex was put on the table, they were both basically inseparable.
Life was great for both of them. Draco owned his own business, DM Enterprises. They do all the publicist work for New York, such as creating advertisements and billboards.
Malfoy was lucky enough to be able to keep his name without anyone knowing who he was because he. the muggle world is good for some things.
Hermione found a great job as a book editor, and was really good at her job, as books are her passion.
Hermione's boss, Mr Jones, was retiring from his high position and everyone who worked for him was being interviewed to take over his position.
Hermione was extremely nervous for her interview today.
She was sitting at her desk, waiting for him to come out and invite him into his office to start the interview.
She only waited a few more minutes before he came out.
"Miss Granger, you may come in now." Mr Jones said inviting her into his office. They both day down on opposite sides of his desk.
If Hermione got this job, it would be a big step forward in her career. This was probably the most important interview of her life!
After a nerve racking half an hour in Mr Jones's office, Hermione walked out onto the freezing streets of New York.
The ice crunched beneath her feet and her breath filled the air with crystal clouds.
Every day Hermione walks around the busy corner to star bucks, to grab her morning coffee.
As Hermione walked back to the office gripping the hot coffee in he hands, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.
"Hey sweet lips." Draco Malfoy said on the other end of the phone.
"Their not sweet, their cold!" Hermione said, smiling.
"I had better come warm them up for you." Draco smirked.
"Mmm, that would be great."
Draco laughed.
"So how did your interview go?" He asked.
"Good, I think. But there are over 100 people in the office, so what are my chances." Hermione sighed.
"They are very good. You are a hard working woman. Mr Jones knows you out 110% into your work."
"Hmm yeah."
"Are we still on for tonight?" Draco asked, giddy with anticipation.
"Definitely."
"Good. I'll pick you up at seven, okay?"
"Sounds great. Draco, I have to go, I'll see you tonight okay?"
"Okay babe, see you tonight. I love you."
"Love you too."
xoxoxox
Hermione had hardly been gone half an hour. As soon as she stepped into the office, Mr Jones took her into his office.
"I like you, Hermione," Mr Jones said,
"You have great potential and there are so many things I didn't know you knew about books and literature."
"Well my job doesn't allow me to do those things." Hermione said.
"Yes, that's why I would love it if you'd take over my job."
"Yes, I'd love that!" Hermione squealed.
"You will need a few weeks in training by me to learn how to do things. And by the start of February, you will be the new owner of All About Books."
"Thank you so much, Mr Jones."
"The pleasure is all mine, Hermione. I feel at ease now I know the business is being passed into good hands."
"Thank you."
"Give me half an hour to have lunch and the I will show you a few things around this giant building."
xoxoxoxox
Hermione left Mr Jones's office, turned right and walked down the long hallway until she got to a store room, one that no one ever goes in.
Hermione discovered this spot six months ago. She only uses it to make private calls, like the one she was about to make now.
Hermione called Draco. She hoped he would pick up.
"Hey my darling." Draco said in a sexy voice.
"I got the job!" She squealed.
"Babe, that's so great! I am so happy for you!"
"Thanks Draco."
"I love you."
"Love you too." Hermione said, hanging up the phone.
xoxoxoxox
Mr Jones kept Hermione busy for the afternoon and until six o'clock, an hour past usual.
By the time Hermione got home, it was six-thirty and Draco would be there in half an hour.
Hermione had just finished doing her make up when the door bell rang. She was only in her dressing gown when she answered the door.
"Hey, don't you look nice." Draco smirked. He took her into his arms and kissed her on the cheek.
"Babe, I'm sorry. Mr Jones kept me in his office until six, and then I only had half and hour to get ready." Hermione explained.
They made their way into the bedroom.
"Congratulations on your new job!" Draco said, and then gave her a long kiss which made Hermione feel like she was on cloud nine.
They slowly broke away, savouring the taste of each others lips as long as possible.
"I got you something." Draco said, as they both sat down on the bed.
"Oh Draco, it's gorgeous!" Hermione exclaimed and gave Draco a kiss, "it's the most beautiful necklace I've ever seen! I love it, thank you."
"I'm glad you like it. Here, let me put it on you."
The necklace was rose gold, with a few small diamonds. It was the infinity symbol, placed on the chain length ways. It was simple, much like Hermione, but looked gorgeous.
Hermione went to put her dress on. It was a long strapless teal dress which suited Hermione perfectly. It pushed her small boobs up and showed all her curves.
Hermione walked out of her wardrobe and into the bedroom where Draco was waiting.
He stood up and took one deep breath.
"You are so beautiful." He said.
"Thanks you look very handsome in your tux as well." Hermione smiled.
"It looks better on the floor." Draco winked.
"I bet it does." Hermione smirked back.
A/N: there we have it! The first chapter!
This story will be very romantic, but will have lots of drama.
Many places in this story will be R rated, so if you don't like, then don't read.
I have had this story in my head for a while now, and have a fair bit written out already.
I have and will change a few things in the books to suit the story better.
I'm on school holidays now so I should update every few days hopefully.
I hope you all like this story, I am really excited to write it.
Thanks for reading and please review!
Love em xox
