"You may come in, Hermione."

Hermione slowly opened the door, slightly trembling. 'What have I done to anger him?'

"Come in, take a seat." He smiled, which she returned and sat down on a chair, right across him and his desk.

"You wanted to see me sir, Mr. Pucey?" She asked, timidly.

"No need with the formalities, we used to go to Hogwarts together, remember?" She nodded. "Call me Adrian. And the reason I called you here is because I need your advice." 'Advice?' She thought, 'why would the director of St. Mungo's need advice from a Healer?'

He sat upright, resting his arms on his desk. "Hypothetically speaking, I have an old friend of mine that I like; only we weren't exactly the best of friends back then. And now I'd like to ask her out. Do you think I should?"

'Did that stop him from the last four girlfriends he had?' She was confused. Why would he need her advice? He was practically the playboy of St. Mungo's. She shrugged it off and nodded. "Of course you should. What woman in her right mind would turn down an offer like that?"

He smiled brightly, stood up and put on his coat. "Splendid, I'll pick you up at eight."

Her eyes widened as she realized what happened. "I thought it as another woman! Why me?" Instead of replying, he just grinned and went out the door.

"Adrian! Adrian!" She followed him until they were out of his office. "Pucey!"

"Alright, kitten. Since you can't just wait, I'll pick you up at seven." And some how, this was sort of true for her.

She threw her hands up in frustration and walked back to her station to finish up her shift.

"Hermione? What was that all about?" Regina, another Healer asked her.

"It was nothing." She walked right past, but muttered under her breath, "except for the fact that Pucey apparently just asked me out."

Regina shook her head and muttered; "She has a date to get ready for."
