Okay. So this is my first story in a long time. The summer is coming up and since I have to spend all summer alone with my littler brother, a drag I know, I thought I would start another story. I have to say though; it will take me a while to actually get chapters up until June 20th. Then they should come every couple days. I hope you guys enjoy it!

"As Enemies Meet"

As she sat there at her favorite coffee shop, under a red rose evening sky, Hermione was catching up on the daily news. She flipped pages throughout the newspaper, becoming bored with the stores about how life is better without Voldermort around.

"You would honestly think one would finally get a grip after 5 years of him being gone", Hermione sighed to herself. After looking through every page, she got bored with sitting, so she got up from her spot, and started to walk home. Old memories of Harry, Ron, and Ginny started to fill her head. How life after Hogwarts separated them. How difficult it was for Hermione to accept that she may never again see her close, but distant friends.

After graduation, Hermione moved out to Ireland, the land of the green. While Harry and them stayed behind in England to start their new lives. Sure, they kept in touch with each other the first two years. The last she heard from them was that Harry and Ginny were getting married and that Harry was going to soon become an Aurora, with Ron as a partner.

A warm breeze was picking up, and Hermione thought she would stay out a little longer, to enjoy the sunset. She went to the Grand Central Park, which overlooked a huge lake. "The perfect spot to watch the sun set over the horizon", she thought.

She sat up against the biggest tree, enjoying the warm breeze gliding over her cheeks. She loved counting down, as she would with Ron in their seventh year. His arms tight around her as she snuggled up against him, overlooking the Great Hogwarts Lake as the sun would set. She sometimes wished that she could go back to him, but he wanted more from Hermione. He wanted to go the whole way, but Hermione didn't want to. He ended up dumping her and went for some slut in Slytherin.

How she hated his guts for that, but she loved him too much to hate him. She did wonder how things would work out if she stayed back in England. But she knew she would have gotten hurt again by chasing after him.

She got up as the last piece of the sun was diving into the ocean. It was still pretty bright outside, seeing how the sun had gone away. Hermione walked up to her apartment door, and fiddled with her keys for a while until she came to the right one. She entered, greeted by a small, black wiener dog named Tux. He always greeted her like he hadn't seen her for a year.

She finally got him to stop jumping on him and walked into her room. She slipped out of her clothes from the day, into a pair of sweats and a tight, baby blue tank-top. It was Tuesday night and her favorite show, House M.D, was on. She flipped on the channel, got herself some popcorn, and snuggled into her recliner.

House was a medical show (A/N. For those who have never seen House, it's like the ER. For those who haven't seen the ER…that's really sad, but it's a show that deals with medical mysteries) and that's what she loved about it. Hermione, herself, was training to become a Healer and needed to know the basic medical information. So she loved sitting there, guessing what it the person was sick with.

I know not much is going on, but don't worry!

At the end of the show, she flipped off the TV and walked into the kitchen, Tux closely following behind her, hoping for the slightest chance that she may drop a scrap or two. Just as she was about to open the fridge, the doorbell rang.

"Who the hell would be ringing at 10 o'clock at night", she thought out loud. She walked over to the door, unlocked the hatch the lock, and opened the door.

There standing was a blonde hair guy about Hermione's age. He looked severely beat up and a bit drunk.

"Malfoy? Is that you?" Hermione asked. All he did was groan as an answer. He looked up at her with those blue eyes that were once filled with hatred. But now, they were filled with fear.

"Help…me", he whispered, before fainting at her very feet.

END OF CHAPTER ONE!

Okay you guys, I know that was a boring chapter (and very short to add), but you needed to get a sense to what happened after Hogwarts. Please Review! Or I won't update! Don Don Don. Haha.
