Dear All! I know I haven't finished my other story but I have a real writer's block there. This is something that just came to my head the other day. Enjoy! Joga

Chapter One

"Pansy, this is your new secretary, Hermione Bennet." Said Lucius Malfoy, showing Hermione into Pansy Parkinson's office on the 23rd floor of Malfoy Building in London. Pansy looked at her new secretary critically. She was the type, Pansy didn't like and which among sensible people would be described as intelligent. Pansy was even daft enough not to recognise that the woman in front of her was wearing a glamour and in fact was no other than Hermione Granger, the brightest mind in Pansy's former school Hogwarts. Due to the fact, however, that this Hermione person was introduced to her by Lucius Malfoy, the owner of Malfoy Wiz. Inc., where Pansy worked and because Lucius Malfoy was the father of Draco Malfoy whom Pansy decided to have for a husband, she smiled and said:

"Pleased to meet you. I am sure our co-operation, Hermione, will work out just fine."

Hermione smiled. None of them, including Pansy, believed in what Pansy has just said.

"I'm sure, Pansy will fill you in your duties." Said Lucius Malfoy, leaving both women together. Closing the door, Lucius smiled remembering the dispute he had yesterday with his son, Draco, when he informed him that he had found a secretary for Pansy Parkinson.

*FLASHBACK*

"I've found a secretary for Pansy, today." Said Lucius sipping a glass of red wine. He was 58 years old and at the peak of his powers, wizarding and business ones. Some seven years ago, Lucius thought it was time to fulfil his life's dream and move to muggle London to become a businessman. As in most case in his life, his business venture hit off and he was soon richer than he was as a wizard.

"Mhmm." Replied Draco.

"Don't you want to know who she is? Asked Malfoy Senior just as Draco was thinking 'it doesn't really matter - she wouldn't last a month with Pansy', but he asked: "Who is she?"

"I met her on a train today."

"You must be joking, Lucius!" was his son's reply, 'I'll make sure he stops going on trains because he is ready to bring a secretary for me, or Heaven forbid, a wife, too.' added Draco in his thoughts.

"Why should I be joking, son? She's just graduated from Durham and she was on her way to London to find a job and begin evening LSE courses. I always try to promote people who have a goal in life."

"You? You always try to promote people who have a goal in life? Have you lost your senses?" demanded Malfoy Junior.

"As a matter of fact I do promote people who have a goal in life. But you're right. There is something more to it."

"Which is?"

"She's a witch." Replied Lucius.

"How do you know?'

"She wears a very sophisticated glamour charm. I've seen such a powerful one maybe once or twice in my life."

"And you hired her? Just like that?"

"Yes."

"Just because, she wears a powerful glamour charm? She is probably some gold-digger."

"I don't blame you, Draco, for thinking that way. I admit that after an evening spent in company of Pansy Parkinson, I think of every woman as of a gold-digger but Hermione is by no means one."

'So she is Hermione already thought Draco, but the name brought some memories back. Hermione, the only Hermione he knew, was dead, she was Hermione Granger, the most intelligent girl at school and a hot one by the time she was 17.

"She is a good girl." Added Lucius Malfoy

'Just like Vincent Goyle is a good boy' commented Draco silently, while his father was thinking: 'I need someone near Pansy. I must know what she is up to.'

*END FLASHBACK*

**********************************************************

Hermione sat on her bed. Life was really strange. It all started 7 years ago. She has just graduated and Harry, Ron, Draco and she were getting ready for the final battle with the evil. Draco changed sides at Chistmas. He went to Dumbledore after the Christmas holidays and confessed that he could not partake in the revels and the killings and that he was willing to fight all his father had represented. Dumbledore agreed. It took some time to convince Harry and Ron that Draco was changed but they finally believed him when he saved her and Neville from being killed in a Death Eater riot in muggle London.

Then things went really fast. The final battle was won by the Order of the Phoenix. There were many causalities including Harry and Ron. In the final duel between Harry and Voldemort, the defeat of Voldemort was sealed with Draco's and Snape's help. Lucius Malfoy was captured and put on trial. Draco, Snape and she became heros and the Ministry promised to grant them one wish, no matter what that wish would be.

Draco's car sped towards his apartment in the Docklands. He was thinking about the past when he made his 'victor wish' and asked for mercy for Lucius. He came up with a plan. Lucius would be obliviated to such extent that he would not remember anything about Voldemort and his Death Eater past. The Ministry wasn't very thrilled to do it and gave its own condition: Lucius would have his memory modified in such a way that he would want to move to muggle London and begin a business there. Arthur Weasley, the new Minister of Magic, thought that it would be a punishment enough for all the wrong Lucius did in his life. Draco agreed thinking it was the most twisted sense of humour on the part of the Minister. Snape, Dumbledore and McGonagall participated in the casting of the 'oblivate' on Lucius. He survived it and seemed to be a man of a cheerful disposition. The first thing he did was buy a house in muggle London and becoming a businessman. He did not know what Hermione's wish was, she was killed in a car accident somewhere in Ireland. It was a heavy blow to him. He fell in love with her but did not have time to tell her that. She left shortly after the final battle and never came back. He chose to follow Lucius' lead. He was tired of being a hero, he wanted a new start. He retained all his memories but he could feel they had changed him. Over the next years, he set on helping his fellow Slytherins whose families were involved with Voldemort. This was how Flint and Parkinson came to live in muggle London. Draco regretted one thing about it that was helping Parkinson. As soon as she started working in Malfoy Wiz. Inc., she embarked on a mission to get him laid with no other than herself and Draco had so far found no way of getting rid of her.

Hermione snuggled into her old teddy-bear. Seven years ago, she made her wish. She wanted to disappear from the face of the Earth, and from the wizarding world in particular. The Ministry agreed. They faked her death in Ireland and Dumbledore, Snape and McGonagall placed an extremely advanced glamour charm on her. She returned to her parents who were aware of everything. They moved into another town, changed the surname and her life began with a new start. She only wished she could tell Draco but then would he be interested, he didn't care for her.
