Hermione's P.O.V.
The next day, I woke up and had made breakfast. I was placing the plates on the table, when Draco came down. "Morning Draco" I said as he sat down and I poured him a cup of coffee
"Um... Morning to you, too" he said taking a sip of coffee.
"You are going to look for a job today?" I asked
"I already have a job in the Ministry"
"Didn't you read the letter we got last night?"
"No, I was almost asleep, when you came knocking on my door saying that a letter had come from the Ministry."
"Well I left it on your bedside table"
"Didn't see it"
"Ugh, stupid cat"
"Excuse me" Draco said
"My cat Crookshanks, he loves taking things from people, so he probably was in your room last night and he grabbed it"
"Um... are you sure your cat isn't a dog, because I grew up with two hound dogs and they always took things from me."
"No... No... He's a cat, you see" I said giggling and pointing at Crookshanks, who was eating his breakfast.
"Oh, well what did it say?"
"Everyone lost their jobs that live here, and we all have to get jobs here."
"Oh, so now the Ministry is making a whole new world for single seventeen threw twenty-nine years old."
"Pretty much, well go get dressed in a suit and tie, then go and get a job." I said after cleaning off the table, then pushing him towards the staircase.
"What about you?" he asked from the top of the stairs
"I'm going to go do some redecorating today, and then I'll go out tomorrow and look for a job"
"Alright" he said as he shut his bedroom door.
Draco, left the house and went off to look for a job. I then decided to call Ginny on the house phone, "Hello" she said
"Hey Ginny"
"Hermione, how you and Malfoy"
"Oh, were good but I was wondering if you would like to come and have lunch with me in our weird new town."
"I suppose I can cancel my plans with Harry" she said
"Alright" I said
" I'll be there... right now" she said as I turned around to see her standing there, I hung up the phone.
"Alright let me just put this stack of dishes up." I said opening the cabinet next to the spices cabinet.
"You ready now?"
"Yeah lets go" I said grabbing the house keys off the key rack, we went onto the porch I locked the door.
We walked around the town, went shopping, and ate some lunch. "So how's Malfoy?" Ginny asked as we sat in the park.
"He's actually really sweet now"
"Hermione look at me in the eyes"
"Excuse me" I said as Ginny grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the eyes, then smirked
"You like him, wait lets rephrase that you LOVE him"
"I do not," I said Ginny raised her eyebrow, "Fine I do like him a little bit."
"I told you. I told you," Ginny said as her cell phone made a beeping sound, she picked it up, "Its Harry, I have to go, but good luck"
"Alright bye" I said giving her a hug as I went home to make supper and start redecorating. Draco came home around seven O' clock
"Hermione" he said running into the kitchen.
"Yes, what 's wrong are you Ok? Do I need to grab the first aid kit, call a Healer?" I asked concerned
"No, I'm fine but I got a job in the town hall"
"Really, that's like working in the Ministry and will bring in more money to help with the family..."
"Wait what family?" Draco asked
"Oh, I mean we live together and I thought we were a family now."
"Were not a family until were married and the Ministry says that will be next week."
"I forgot about that part, but we are a family"
"Yes, but most people are really a family when they have had their first child. Which we agreed we were never going to do."
"Um... but I thought we wanted a divorce from each other." I said
"Long as we don't share the same room with each other, I don't see why we can't live with each other. I mean friends do that all the time."
"Who said we were friends?" I asked
"Well were on first name bases now, so I thought we were friends now"
I stood there, thinking it over,"Yeah I guess we can be friends and live with each other. But didn't you always want to get start a family."
"We will, next week but only the two of us."
"But don't people get married because they love each other and want to have children with each other."
"No, not everyone. Some people actually have arranged marriages, take my parents for example."
"Your parents are in an arranged marriage?"
"Of course all rich purebloods get arranged marriages, except I never got around to getting my arranged marriage. My parents agreed to wait one more year, so I could get settled in my new Manor."
"Oh, well here's some soup I made, it's a secret recipe my biological parents used to make." I said placing the bowl on the table.
