The next morning Hermione woke up in her room in Aberforth's apartment above the pub. She got up and got dressed for the day. Before she left her room she grabbed the file with her forged school documents.

"Morning" Hermione greeted Aberforth in the pub

"Morning?" Alberforth asked with humor in his voice

"Hermione it's almost noon." he said as she sat down

"Really, I can't believe I slept that long. I guess the trip took more out of me than I expected." Hermione said

"That is expected. It had to of been hard on your body. Buy if you are ready to take over I will make my way to the castle and get your dear uncle to enroll you at Hogwarts." Aberforth said picking up her file off the bar.

"Ok course I will see you when you get back." She said

Hermione made her way behind the bar as Aberforth walked out the pub. Hermione was leaning against the counter and as time ticked by she could see people beginning to go to lunch. Hermione decided that she would deep clean the floors of the pub. She was on her hands in knees behind the bar cleaning when the bell above the door went off and she could hear the voices of a few men. Hermione stood up to go help the customers. When she did she was not expecting to come face to face with Tom Riddle and Abraxas Malfoy. Hermione knew she was going to come face to face with Tom Riddle she just never expected him to walk into the pub.

Upon seeing her the boys walked up to the bar. Abraxas leaned up against the counter and shoot her a smile.

"Hello beautiful, I'm Abraxas what is your name?" he said leaning a little farther over the counter.

Hermione smiled at him trying her best not to laugh "Nice to meet you, I'm Hermione. What can I get you boys today."

"2 fire whiskeys please Hermione." Abraxas responded still smiling at her

"Just a minute and I'll get that for you, if you would like to take a seat." Hermione said and went to get the drinks.

Hermione made the drinks and did her best to compose herself before taking them over to the table the boys were sitting at.

"Here you both go. Can I get you anything else?' Hermione asked setting down the drinks

"That will be in for now but we would love for you to join us." Abraxas said motioning to the seat next to him

Hermione looked around the empty table and back at the boys "Why not, but my father might be upset if he come back and I am not working." she said sitting down at the table

"Your father?" Tom asked his interest piqued at that comment

"Yeah my father owns the pub." Hermione said with a small smile

"Your father is Aberforth Dumbledore?" Tom said with equal parts curious and surprised

"He is. Oh I never caught you name." She said smiling at Tom

"Tom Riddle, nice to meet you." He said extending his hand

Hermione shook his hand and offered him yet another smile. "Nice to meet you too, well as nice as it was to meet the two of you I should get back before father gets back from Hogwarts." she said standing

"It was a pleasure to meet you as well Hermione." Abraxas said Tom nodding in agreement

Hermione went back to the bar letting out a breath she didn't realize she had been holding.
