Chapter 2

When Hermione apparated to her flat, she quickly went to her desk and grabbed some parchment and a quill. She scribbled three separate letters, one to Harry, Ron, and Ginny, all bearing the same thing:

Well the good news is I got the job! The bad news… My boss is Malfoy! Of all people! But, he's not the same, he was actually civil, but it could have been an act. We'll see. Anyway, I hope we are still on for Friday night!

Love,

Hermione

She quickly got her beautiful tawny owl, Sabella, down from her perch and sent her off with the three letters. "Take these to Harry, Ron, and Ginny. Be safe!" Hermione called to her as she flew out the window.

Every Friday night, Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Ginny all went out to a little club. Hermione and Ginny had become the best of friends and both loved to dance. The boys didn't really care, but went to hang out with them, anyway. Ron and Hermione went out their last year at Hogwarts, but broke it off before graduation, because they were going their separate ways. They were still best friends, like brother and sister. Harry and Ginny had been going out since their last year of Hogwarts. Harry and Ron were both Aurors, and Ginny worked at Gringotts.

Hermione decided to take a shower and get to sleep pretty early to be ready for her first day of work tomorrow. As she got into bed, she couldn't help but think how nice Malfoy had been. And also how attractive he was. She finally fell asleep with thoughts of what would come the next day when she arrived at work.

Meanwhile, Draco apparated to his manor. After his father died in Azkaban, his mother moved to Italy leaving him the Malfoy Manor. Although, Draco changed much of the house to have a more cheerful feel to it rather than the dark and evil feel it had when his father was alive.

As Draco had his house elf, Tib, bring him some dinner, he couldn't get his mind off Hermione. He thought about how great she looked and how beautiful her smile was. How her long hair bounced as she walked, how her laugh made him smile. Did Draco Malfoy have a crush? Well, even if I do have a crush on her, she would never like me. We have too much history together. He thought, as he finished his plate. He sighed and got up to shower and go to bed. It took him a long time to fall asleep, because his mind was still on Hermione, and once he did fall asleep, he dreamt about her.

The next day, Hermione woke up an extra thirty minutes early just to make sure she looked extra good. She got up out of bed and walked over to her closet and tried to decide on something to wear. She finally decided on a blue fitted three-quarter length sleeve with a v-neck that was low enough just to show the tops of her breasts, but not too much, and a nice black skirt that hugged her butt perfectly, and fell right above her knees. She did her hair all down with the ends curled, and then put a little make-up on.

After deciding she looked alright, she put her heels on and apparated to the ministry, and walked to the elevators. She pressed floor 7 where her office was located. As she stepped off, she suddenly got a nervous feeling as she began to walk to her office, but she didn't really know why. She figured it was just because it was her first day of work. She walked passed Draco's office and saw the door closed and the light off. She was early, after all. So she went next door to her new office. She walked in and saw all that was in there was her desk and chair. Well, since I'm here early and have nothing to do yet I'll just decorate! She thought as she pulled out her wand. She started putting different pictures on the walls of exotic and beautiful places, and put a tall plant in the corner and a pretty vase with lilies in it on her desk.

She did all of this entirely oblivious that Draco had come and was standing in her doorway leaning against it watching her with a strange smile on his face. Wow, she looks good today! Her butt looks really good too! It will definitely be hard to concentrate on work with her in the next room. He thought. She backed up to admire the work she had done and ended up backing into- "Good morning to you too Miss Granger!" Draco said as Hermione backed into him nearly knocking him off balance, yet again.

"Oh, M-Mr. Malfoy! I'm sorry, I didn't know you were there! How long have you been there?" She said spinning around, surprised with the same nervous feeling back.

"Long enough to watch you turn your office into a gallery." He chuckled.

He noticed her blush and glance down.

"It looks very nice, though." He said smiling.

"Thanks." She said smiling back. Oh he look so handsome when he smiles.

"Well, I hate to ruin the fun, but we must get started on some paperwork the Minister needs done today." He said in a more business tone, but still smiling.

"Oh, yes, of course." She said following him to his office.

"I'll just have you start out with these and if you finish pretty quickly, I have plenty more." He said handing her about a third of the stack of papers he had on his desk.

As she took it, his hand brushed hers sending chills down her spine. She walked back into her office to get started. Throughout the rest of the day, they would go back and forth to each other's offices discussing the paperwork.

Finally it was five, and time for her to finish up and go home. Malfoy walked in as she was finishing the last of her work.

"You did very well today, Granger. I'm impressed." He said walking up to the side of her desk to look at the last of it.

"Thank you, I try." She said looking up at him and smiling.

"Well, I suppose you can go ahead and go home. I didn't expect us to finish all that today." He said taking the rest of her finished work.

"Really? Wonderful!" She said excitedly and jumped up. As she jumped up, her chair flew back and hit Draco sending all the papers she had just given him flying, and knocking him to the ground. At the same time, Hermione went to grab him before he fell, she tripped over the chair leg and fell on top of him.

"Gee, Granger, can't stay on your feet can you?" Draco said laughing uncontrollably.

"Sorry!" She said also laughing, but still on top of him. She could feel his hard chest and abdominal muscles beneath her. She suddenly blushed realizing that she was still on top of him. He was staring intently into her eyes, before he suddenly rolled her over and got up taking her hand and helping her to her feet easily. He was still holding on her hand and as he moved slightly closer, there was a knock on her door, and he immediately let go of her hand and stepped away starting to pick up papers.

"C-Come In!" Hermione said a little higher than usual.

The Minister bounded in joyfully. "Miss Granger, I-what happened in here?" He said noticing Draco picking up the fallen papers.

"Oh, um, we had a little accident." Hermione said.

"Oh! Well, I just wanted to commend you on the hard work you did today! You were fantastic! I don't think we have ever had anyone that could get so much work finished so quickly and efficiently!" the Minister said happily.

"Thank you, Minister!"

"Well, see you tomorrow then!" The Minister called walking out again.

Draco had picked up all the papers during their little discussion and was walking to his office when he stopped and said, "He's right, you know. You did very well. See you tomorrow, Miss Granger." And walked into his office without waiting for her response.
