Draco glances across the crowded room at all of his old schoolmates. Tonight was their tenth year reunion at Hogwarts. He glances at the door as an average height, stunningly; beautiful woman walks through with brown eyes and long, straight brown hair. He is startled as he finds himself walking towards her.
"Draco?"
He ignores Pansy as he walks closer to the woman.
"Hello."
The woman's smile fades, "Hello, Draco."
He gasps as he recognizes her voice, "Granger?"
"That's right," she says, the smile returning to her face.
"You've changed."
"It's been ten years, you know."
She spots Harry and Ron, and another girl across the room and waves, "What do you want, Draco?"
"I was just surprised at how you looked. You really do look great, Hermione."
"Wow, a compliment," she says sarcastically, "I'll remember this, Draco."
She walks over to where Harry, Ron, and the girl are.
As they are leaving… Draco walks up to Hermione as she is pulling on her jacket.
"Hey, do you want to go and get some dinner or something?"
"What made this change of heart, Draco? I thought I was just a mudblood."
"Hermione, ten years is a long time."
"I know," she eyes Draco, "And you've changed too, but I still remember all of the harsh things you said to me."
"And I want to try to make up for it."
"Tell me first why I should believe anything you say."
"Because when we were back in school I liked you. Did you ever notice that I only ever insulted you around Slytherins and that I never hexed you? I liked you then and I like you now."
"What if I don't like you?"
"Don't you?"
"I don't know."
"Dang you, Granger."
Hermione laughs, a tinkling sound that makes Draco's face soften and he smiles, "Hermione, want to go and get a coffee together or something?"
Hermione feigns surprise," You mean you've tasted muggle drinks?"
Draco laughs, " I walked into that one and yes, I want to drink muggle drinks with you."
"And are you going to be mean and cruel towards me and others?"
"No."
"I shouldn't trust you…Let's go."
"Okay, I know a place called Starbucks. It's really good."
"Sounds good. I'll meet you there," Hermione says and apparates with a crack.
