Hi guys! So I wrote this story (originally as a song-fic), and I was wondering if you all thought it was worth continuing.
I've only written as far as the start of the second chapter, and won't be updating that regularly, but would love to know what you guys think!
Please review!
(Oh, and the title isn't ideal...any suggestions?)
Enjoy!
After Dark
Hermione walked into the bar. It was crowded, with very loud music and this was the second night in a row. She never used to spend time at a bar, but recently she was finding her flat to be very empty. It was better to spend the evening at the bar alone than to sit at home alone. She sighed, sitting down at the same stool from last night.
She was just taking her first sip from her cider, when she suddenly felt someone's eyes boring into the back of her neck. Feeling uncomfortable, she turned, quickly glancing round the room. Seeing no-one, she turned back around, the feeling gone. Hermione sighed in relief.

Draco Malfoy sat in a corner, alone, and was staring at his half-full beer glass when suddenly his eyes were drawn to someone who had just walked in. He looked at them curiously, and then it sunk in…Hermione Granger was sitting at a bar, drinking… He had never expected to see her here, after not seeing her for 5 years. Well, she had certainly grown up. Narrowing his eyes, he wondered what could have happened to make Granger come to a bar…the Granger he knew wouldn't have set foot in one, let alone willing to get tipsy at one. Draining his glass, he rose and left. He would return the next night and see if Granger would appear again.
HGHGHGHG
The next night, she sat in the same place again. Once again, she could feel someone's eyes boring into her, but this time when she looked around, they stayed. Hermione squinted round, trying to find who was looking at her. There was a figure in a dark corner, dressed like a muggle as was everyone else, not standing out at all. Only difference was, the figure was angled towards her. She quickly turned away, not wanting them to know she'd spotted them. Beginning to feel curious, she made up her mind to return the next night to see if the figure was still there.

A day later, he was sat at the same table in the corner, when once again Hermione Granger swept into the room. He took a moment to appreciate her figure, all the time thinking…was this really the same Granger he had known back at Hogwarts? It can't have been, the Granger he knew had bushy hair and sticking out teeth. Not smooth curly hair, an amazing figure which was only made more noticeable by the close fitting top she was wearing, and she was wearing just enough make up to accent her delicate features. Or was it? He'd been so prejudiced against muggleborns, he couldn't afford not to be, that he had never really studied her before. Suddenly he was aware that she was turning, looking around the room as she'd done the night before, only this time she seemed to catch sight of him in the corner. Thankful that the corner was dark, Draco watched as she quickly looked away, a blush spreading across her cheeks. He smirked. All through school he'd loved to make her uncomfortable, only this had a different feel to it, it felt more intriguing. He was incredibly curious about what had caused her to become a regular in the same bar he regularly attended. The next night he decided instead of staying in his corner, he would sit at the bar. Then she would surely notice him.
HGHGHGHG
Once again, Hermione entered the muggle pub. It was an unusual pub, where there was a bar, a band and a dance floor…many of the ones Harry and Ron went to just had music and a bar. She, however, preferred the liveliness of the dancing, even if she never took part. Walking to her usual spot, she sat down. Suddenly feeling as if something was different, she turned and saw Draco Malfoy sitting on the stool to the right of hers. Hermione stared at him, shocked, too shocked to make a noise. Draco Malfoy, sitting in a muggle pub?! And in muggle clothes?!
"Hello, Granger." he smirked.
Review and let me know what you think!
