"What is it that you need so badly, Dray?"
"Blaise, I need you to look for Granger." Draco looks at his friend who was leaning on the door frame.
"I'm not your private investigator, sod off." Blaise turns around about to leave when Draco calls on him again.
"Look, mate. This is important. Nobody from my team of investigators can find her... I know you're powerful. I know you can find her. Please, I need to find her."
"Draco, why can't you just leave her be. You broke her heart and maybe she's moved on and now you're dragging her back." Blaise had his hands in his pockets. He was well-dressed. He just came from work, Draco owled him a few hours ago asking him to drop by.
"I'm dragging her back again cause I'll never let her go if I get another chance." Blaise shakes his head. "I broke up with her because father made me. Father made me, Blaise. Do you understand? I never wanted to leave her."
"I do believe you, Dray. It's just there's a possibility she's happy now... why can't we just leave her alone."
"I just want to know. I want to know and I want to see her, now will you help me or not?" Blaise sighs and nods. Of course he'll help Draco. The two have been best friends for such a long time that favors like this are not even asked.
"I'll update you as soon as I get news." Blaise leaves Malfoy Manor and apparates to his office. He owled a few detectives and asked them to find Hermione Granger.
Meanwhile Draco sinks back to his chair, head in his hands. He has to find her as soon as he can. He has to apologize and explain. She has to understand.
"Draco, stop wasting your time."
"Mother, I don't need your opinion." Narcissa stands at the doorway, hands on her hip.
"She's just a girl, there are tons of girls out there -"
"Don't say it, mother."
"Say what? The truth? Indeed, Draco. There are a lot of girls out there with better blood status. Don't be so blind." Narcissa steps foot in his office. Nearing his table with each word.
"The war is over, mother. I don't care about her blood."
"But I do. I don't favor her Draco. Not at all. I will never approve of her and as long as I'm alive... I'll never let the two of you be."
Everyone thinks that Hermione's too busy to find herself another special someone someone to spend life with. Well, they're wrong. Hermione's been dating Robert for the past few months now.
"Morning everyone." Hermione said as she entered her bookshop. Everyone turned their heads her way and waved. She did her normal duties for the day, called the other branches to see how they're doing, checked the employee statuses and signed everything that needed to be signed. She was about to leave to go fetch Scorpius when she accidentally bumped into someone in the sidewalk.
"Ouch." Hermione fell on her arse, papers scattering everywhere.
"Shit. I'm really sorry, stupid me." Hermione opened her eyes and saw a hand in front of her. Her eyes trailed up the man and met his gorgeous brown eyes.
"Not a problem." He helped her up and gathered the scattered paper.
"Really sorry, I wasn't looking was too busy texting that I didn't see you there." Hermione gave him a nod in response. The man was breathtaking. He was gorgeous. "Anyway, are you okay?"
"Oh, yes. I'm fine. Just a little bit dirty but that's alright." Hermione dusted off her skirt and tried to fix her blouse. The man felt bad, the streets were muddy and what makes everything worse it rained a few hours ago.
"Look, how about I treat you out for some shopping? Your clothes look really expensive and I'm sorry for ruining them. I guess I'll just pay you back by buying you a new pair of clothes. I'm also sorry about your wet paperwork."
"What? It's okay, don't worry about it. I'm on my way home now anyway."
Sara, an employee, went out of the shop to remind Hermione about her meeting "Ms. Granger, may I remind you of your appointment with Mr. Jacks-" She stops midway her sentence. "Ma'am what's wrong with your clothes?" Hermione looked at her with a face. "I'm fine, Sara."
"See, let me take you shopping. Just quick come on." The guy didn't give her a chance to respond and he kept insisting.
"Ready to go?" Robert knocks on her door and she smiles.
"Absolutely. How about you, are you ready to meet Scorp?" Robert sighs and nods.
"Are you sure he'll be alright with the idea of his mum dating another lad?" Hermione nods her head as she intertwines her fingers with his. "I'm just really nervous. He sounds really nice from your stories but I don't know, Hermione."
"Look, he's going to love you. I just know it. He's been trying to hook me up with his teacher, you know. I guess he'd stop searching for fishes for me if he sees and finds out about you." Hermione wanted to eat with Robert and Scorpius after his class. Scorpius hasn't met Robert before and neither did Robert.
"Okay, if you say so. How about we take my car for today?" Hermione agrees and they ride off to Scorpius' school. Robert parks and she gets out.
"I'll just fetch him in his classroom." Robert nods. She starts walking in the school looking for her son's room.
"Mum!" A small person hugs her from behind. She turns.
"Hi Scorp."
"I saw you come down from another car, did you buy a new car?" Hermione shakes her head.
"I came here with my friend and he wants to eat out with us. Is that okay with you?"
"Depends, will I like his choice of food?"
"I think you will." Hermione holds his hands and leads him towards the blue car. She opens the door for the back seat. "Ok, be a good boy and sit properly here. Scorpius this is Robert. Robert, Scorpius. Finally, the two of you met." Scorpius locks his seat belt and looks at the man.
"Hi buddy, how you doing?"
"I'm doing fine. Where are we going to eat Robert?"
"Well, I'd love to dine in some fancy restaurant to please your mother but ... there's a new fast food restaurant not too far from here that I'd love for you to check out." Scorpius raises one eyebrow at the man, doubting.
