I sit in a café in Diagon ally drinking coffee and looking at the pure blue sky. I pay for the coffee and get up to leave walking away slowly as I hear someone call my name
"Hermione, wait up." I turn to see a very pregnant Ginny Potter waddling after me as fast as she can.
I try to smile and act as if I didn't just sign away my marriage.
"Hey Ginny how's it going?" I ask when she finally catches up to me.
"Great, how are you doing?" She asks looking at me suspiciously.
"I've been better why?" I say as her facial expression goes from suspicious to confusion.
"Well I thought that Ron was going to surprise you with a new ring and a vowel renewal sense yours got stolen, oops. Please don't tell Ron that I ruined the surprise please he'll kill me."
At this I start crying, bawling in the middle of Diagon ally.
"Hermione what's wrong?" Ginny says throwing her arms around me.
"He, He, He, Ch cheated on me GIN!" I wail desperate just to get the words out
Ginny shuffles me down Diagon alley in shock trying to get me away from the people starting to stare.
We end up back at Grimmauld place were Ginny sets me into a chair and asks Kreacher to make us some tea. As Ginny blows on the steaming cup she asks me the one question I'd dreading explaining to everyone
"So what do you mean Ron cheated on you Hermione he's your husband, he loves you."
A tear leaks down my face at the memory of last night when I thought the same thing.
"I came home early from the Hospital yesterday night to surprise him and he wasn't home so I went to our room to read until he came home , I finished the book I'd been reading and was thinking about you know life. When I fall asleep, I woke up to a crash and went to investigate. I heard voices and it sounded like they were pretty damn close to having sex in my living room. When I got down stairs and busted them I saw Ronald naked and Terry Half naked in my living room making out."
Ginny looks at me in shock her tea completely forgotten in light of the new she just received.
"Wait Terry," she says questioning "As in Terry Boot your boss?" she says with alarm
I nod my head miserably
"Oh my god Hermione I'm so sorry that's horrible what are you going to do about it?" she says scooting her chair closer and rubbing my back for comfort
"Well I signed the damn divorce papers this morning and went into work to see the supervisor Reynolds I explained to him that I wanted to switch departments and he said there was one spot open so I start next week and I took the rest of this week off from my department. I's not like I'll never see Terry but at least this way I won't have to see him all day every day and know that he's with my ex-husband." I say taking a deep breath to keep myself from crying again.
After many cups of tea and bowls of ice cream with Ginny and later on the promise of a lunch with Harry tomorrow Ginny let me leave. From her house I go straight to my realtor's office In the ministry.
I knock on the office door and hear the scuffling of papers inside.
"Shit! Ow, Come in"
I walk in to see Caroline my realtor picking up after what looks like a very messy explosion.
"Oh hi Hermione it's you, come in come in, sorry about the mess my damn Temp made my stapler set to explode again this time however he set under a huge stack of papers I was looking through."
Caroline has to be one of the easiest going people I know. At 5'3 she's tiny with porcelain skin and bright blonde hair. She looks like an angel; however what most people don't realize is that she's vicious with prank wars. Currently she's in the middle of a three year running one with her temp Michal.
I wave my wand and the papers alphabetize themselves and pile neatly onto the space they just occupied minus the exploding stapler.
Caroline looks at me with relief "You're a saint Hermione I'm so horrible at charm work what would I do without you?"
I smile and laugh
"You'd get a lot of unneeded exercise that's for sure." I say as she looks at me and laughs as she sits down and pulls out a folder.
"Okay to business here are the papers all you have to do is sign I guarantee you'll love the apartment."
I smile at her "I'd better or you'll be losing your touch" I say as I sign for a brand new apartment that I've never seen.
"Don't worries have I ever lead you wrong, of course not?" She says answering her own question
She stands up and grabs my hand and we apparate to my new apartment. I look around and smile as usual its perfect.
The living room is a pretty lilac color with white trim and lots of light coming from the huge screen door that leads to an outdoor porch. She drags me through the apartment.
"It's all lilac, but I know you love it because it's one of your favorite colors but it's not too overwhelming. Its two bedrooms and one bath both of the bed rooms have huge walk in closets the kitchen counter is all black granite with marble flecks." She says as she walks into the kitchen I look around amazed at how beautiful it all is.
After a quick tour of the indeed huge closet and bed rooms she runs me through the bathroom and we're back to the living room.
"So what do you think?" Caroline asks bouncing on her toes in excitement
I sigh "Once again you've somehow managed to outdo yourself Caroline its beautiful and just what I needed thank you."
She hands me the keys and tells me to call her once I get settled in so she can come and see the full effect.
After she leaves I look around again and leave back to the house.
I'm halfway through packing when I hear a crash. I groan remembering the last time I heard a noise like that. I grab my wand and stomp down the stairs
"Can't you two even wait until I'm done packing and moved out before you fuck like bunnies in this damn house?" I scream
But when I get down stairs instead of seeing Ron and Tarry I see Draco Malfoy standing in my doorway. I stand shocked forgetting to apologize for yelling at him when I thought it was Ron.
"Draco what are you doing here?" I say amazed
He hasn't changed a bit sense I last saw him at the eighth year graduation. He still has the same Blonde hair, same grey eyes but this time, instead of being full of hate there full of mystery. Gone was the hateful Draco we all new and loathed and instead standing before me was a whole different person, although the fact that he was still as gorgeous as before was no shock, in fact it was slightly annoying.
"Draco what are you doing in my doorway?" I ask again this time, more sharply.
He shakes his head as if trying to regain his attention on why he's here.
"I was curious as to why you had transferred to my wing of the hospital." He says his voice as smooth as velvet and scary delicious.
"Your wing, the Children's wing is headed by Healer Johnston. Isn't it?" I ask slightly confused
"They didn't tell you when you transferred; Johnston retired last week the bored decided to give me the position as head of the children's wing the announcement goes out this week."
I blink dumbly, no they had not told me that, not at all.
"I was not informed of the change but none the less, congratulations on the promotion." I say going slightly into shock.
Draco Malfoy was going to be my boss. Draco Malfoy was the head healer of the children's wing in Saint Mungos hospital.
"Thank you, so are you going to inform your new employer why your transferring to his wing, or not?" He asks me looking slightly smug
"Personal reasons that you have no need to know it's not work related." I say glaring at him
Draco chuckles and turns to leave.
"Just so you know even if he is gay Ron's crazy for leaving you you're a much better person than Boot." He says and walks out closing the door behind him leaving me in shock.
"I'm not sure what's worse that I want to kill him or that I want to kiss him both just for saying that" I say out loud to myself.
