Chapter 1
In Muggle London
After the war has ended, everyone tried to live their lives peacefully. The DeathEaters are vanquished, leaving their families alone. The Order is still together, most of them are aurors, and most of them are married already. Hogwarts is now back, and more powerful than ever, with Professor McGonagall as the new headmistress.
But not all of them lived their lives in the wizarding world.
Two people, who in school hated each other's guts, tried to live their lives normally in the muggle world.
One of them isn't used to the muggle world and not using his wand. Let's just say he's kind of "depending" on his wand. He's a Pureblood, known as the Slytherin Prince, mudblood hater, attractive, HOT, and the only son of the most loyal DeathEater there is -- though a son of a DeathEater, he's otherwise. Draco Malfoy.
The other one is more comfortable living in the muggle world. She's a muggle-born, known as the Gryffindor Princess, brightest witch of their age, and the best friend of the boy-who-lived and the blood traitor. Hermione Granger.
------------------------------
Draco is trying to cope up living life without the aide of magic. Kudos to him, he's been living his life without IT for the past year. Though in the wizarding world, he's one of the richest wizards alive, in the muggle world though, he's .. let's just say he's just a typical guy, with a not-so-typical good looks :)
Right before leaving the wizarding world, he took all th galleons in his account from Gringotts. It wasn't much since his parents took most of it and wasted it all off during the war. The moment he stepped out of Gringotts, he changed his dress robes to a tan turtleneck, a black coat, slim jeans and black sneakers and headed off to the muggle world.
His money, from galleons to pounds wasn't enough. Bloody hell! I think I'll be needing one of these .. jobs to live. A Malfoy doesn't work! He orders someone to work FOR him! But then again, he's not living as a wizard anymore. From now on, Draco Malfoy lives as a muggle.
As if it was meant for him to read it, he saw a flyer of a company in need of an employee. Hmm.. might as well try and take this one. What does 'CEO' mean? It was still 10 in the morning, so he decided to go there and, well, apply. I think I'll just charm my way in this "job" thing.
He entered the building with his arrogance (he hasn't changed that much) and went up to the receptionist. A muggle girl, this should be easy. A little charm won't hurt. He walked up to the receptionist smiling slyly. You can sense he's trying to flirt his way to get the job."
"Hi, I'm Draco Malfoy. Who do you suppose I should talk to? See, I'm applying for this job right here. Help me?"
"Uhh.. Sure. Wait just a sec."
He smiled at her coyly as he watched her call up someone. I'm guessing it's her boss.
"Draco?"
"Yes?"
"Mr. Smith, the owner of the company, will be right down."
In less than 5 minutes, a man in his smartest suit walked toward Draco.
"You must be Draco Malfoy. I'm James Smith, the company owner. Let's go to my office and have a look at your resume."
A resu-what?! What the hell is a resume?! Draco wasn't named as the second brightest wizard for nothing. Without his wand, he conjured a resume and handed it to the man. He still kinda use his magic. Well, once in a while.
The meeting with the Smith guy was brief and short. This guy thinks he knows everything. Merlin, I thought Granger was the know-it-all. Wait. Did I just remember Granger?!
"So Draco, are you free tomorrow?"
"Yes. There's nothing much to do. I uh.. just graduated."
"Good. I'll arrange for you an interview with one of my best employees. She'll meet up with you in Caesar's Palace, 9:30 in the morningsharp. I don't tolerate tardiness."
Well, at least we have something in common. "Sure, I'll be there."
"I'll inform her with the interview. So, till tomorrow then?"
"Okay. I'll be there."
He's worked his way to the boss, now he just needs to impress his, I think, would-be boss? It's a girl. How hard could it be?
------------------------
Hermione works in one of the biggest company there is, and her boss, James Smith, is one of the richest man on Earth. Just a year ago, she was promoted as the company's CEO. Let's say she's well-off being a muggle than a witch.
"Hermione, you're going to interview someone tomorrow. He fits the position as the CEO in Finance. I expect you to do this interview thoroughly. I don't want to have another, let's say mischief in my company."
"Yes, Mr. Smith."
"Good, and please try to fix yourself up. I expect highly of you, since youare the CEO."
"Uh.. Yes, sir."
Hermione looked at herself from head to toe. Her hair was a mess, her smart suit is kind of crumpled from all the running she did this morning, and don't get me started with her make up! What? I look presentable, don't I? My hair just needs a little combing, my suits need a little.. er.. pressing. Well, I could've been late if I didn't run to get here!
She was on her way out to lunch when Dennisse, Smith's assistant, came running towards her.
"HERMIONE!"
"Oh, hey Dennisse. What's up?"
"Smith wanted me to hand you this."
Hermione,
9:30 am, Caesar's Palace. Be there. That's where you'll have the interview. And please, don't be late.
Don't be late?! When have I ever been late?! "Uh, thanks Den!"
"Anytime. Well, I better get going then."
-------------------------------
"Uhm., I think I'll have a burger, fries and coke."
"will that be all?"
"yes."
Hermione just ordered her lunch from McDonald's. As she was looking for a place to sit on, she saw someone... Is that Malfoy? No, I must be hallucinating. He HATES muggles! Why would he try to live in Muggle world?!
Draco wasn't looking at where he was walking. But he knows he's inside a fast food chain. As he was reading a muggle book, he bumped into someone.
"Oh!"
"Oh. I'm sorry.. let me get that ... GRANGER?!"
"MALFOY?! what in Merlin's name are you doing here!?"
"Hmm.. Well, I've been following you." He smirked. His ever-so-famous smirk that makes every girl swoon, well except for one.
"You've been following me?!"
"Don't get your hopes up Granger!" He was laughing his head off as he saw her reaction. "I didn't know you were here."
"Well, just go away and let me eat my food in PEACE! Leave me alone."
"Not a problem."
Walking towards the counter, he looked over Hermione for a second. He was surprised as he caught her looking his way. Both caught off guard, they looked away the second they caught each other.
Draco told himself, "Granger. Never thought I'd see her again."
