Chapter N° 6

Draco POV

It has been 2 months since Rabastan funeral. It is now Saturday, April 8th.

Hermione… this has not been easy for her. I notice sometimes she would get "distracted" looking at nothing… in this two months, she has been struggling. Not with school though, her grades were as excellent as always. However, she went from uploading a new song every Saturday, to only 3 in the last months. She did not pay as much attention to her physical appearance as she used to. Gone were the dresses and skirts, gone were the shorts. I have yet to see her in anything other than sweatpants or jeans or leggings and huge long-sleeved shirts.

For the last two months, I have been texting her through the day. Sadly, I can count with a single hand the times she has actually answered. Most updates, I get via Luna. I have come to her house many times to try and get her to talk to me… unfortunately; I always catch her playing basketball in the backyard. I have learned not to push her after the time she send ball aiming for my head.

Miss Anne has not been successful either. For the first week after the funeral, Hermione did not even moved from her room, not even to get food. That is another thing… my poor sweet girl is fading away right in front of my eyes. She has lost weight. Before, she was weighing 119lbs, yesterday Luna sent me a text saying she was at 99lbs… For her 5'3? She is starting to get me nervous. I have to find a way to make it better… to help her out…

I am now sitting in my office in the D.H.M Enterprises main office in Downtown Chicago, going through some legal documents for the purchase of a new property. Theodore is sitting in front of me with Blaise.

"The final price will be 830K" said Theo "We will be able to start remodeling it by Friday. If you just sign it now, it will be official by Wednesday…" suddenly, there was a knock in the door. "Come in" the door opened and Lavender, my assistant, came in quickly closing the door behind her. She got closer to the three of us, standing behind the guys before talking.

"I am sorry for interrupting, sir. I know you said to not bother you, but there some people in the reception requesting to speak with you… they say is really important." I sighed

"Lavender, we are in the middle of something important in here…"

"I know sir, but those guys? They said they would not move until they speak with you…"

"Then call security to have them escorted!" she is so annoying at times, sometimes she acts like she needs my permission for everything… sort of like a toddler.

"I think you should at least talk with them, when we asked them what they wanted, they said they needed to get in contact with Miss Hermione."

I was immediately in my feet and started walking to the doors. I felt Theodore and Blaise walking slightly behind me. I felt with my hand for my gun in my back, just in case. I pulled my shirt to cover it before opening the door to the reception. Standing there, right in front of me, was Pete Wentz from the band Fall Out Boys and two other men I did not recognize. I relaxed a little bit. I approached them and right when they noticed me they stood up. Pete came upfront extending his hand.

"Mr. Malfoy? My name is…"

"Pete Wentz from the Fall Out Boys I know…" he smiled and shook his hand.

"Yes. Well these gentlemen" he pointed to the two behind him "are Mr. John Flack and Mr. Vinnie Smith" I shook their hands respectively wondering what the fuck they were doing in my office

"Nice to meet you gentlemen. Please follow me." I started walking and all five of them followed me into one of our conference rooms. "Can we get you gentlemen anything to drink?"

"No thank you Mr. Malfoy" John said talking a seat.

"Well, in that case, tell me… what can I help you guys with? I heard this was about Hermione…"

"Yes… Well, Mr. Malfoy" Vinnie started "you see, DCD2 Records is the recording firm for the band Panic! at the Disco and Mr. Brendon Urie, the vocalist, directly has given us some videos from Miss. Hermione Granger and has requested a duet with her for the new album."

I was blown away. I leaned in my chair and noticed Theo and Blaise looked shocked as hell.

"How did he know about her?"

"Around two months ago, he went to your club, The Mid. He is a friend of Adam Levine from Maroon 5 and Adam invited him to the show. He heard your Miss Hermione Granger there." what is it with this guy and the full names? "He asked Adam about her, but he knew nothing so he started searching for her until he found her YouTube page a month ago and came to us directly. We have tried finding a way to get in contact with her but found nothing… until we saw a video yesterday, the Talent Show presentation" I nodded know which they were talking about "and saw you in there…"

"Ok… I am going to be honest with you guys right now" I sighed slightly "Hermione… she is going through a tough time right now. Someone really closed to her passed away and she has not been feeling like herself recently." They looked at each other

"We understand…" Pete said taking out his phone "Is it ok with you if I call Brendon real quick and explain the situation to him?"

"Please, go ahead…" He left the room quickly already on his phone and I took mine out. I pulled up the contact number for Luna and forward it to Theo. As soon as he got it, Pete came back in, still on the phone.

"He wants to meet her Mr. Malfoy… would it be possible for you to arrange it?" I looked at my watch and noticed it was 10:05am.

"Theo" I turned to him "Call Luna, tell her what is going on. See if they can meet us at that restaurant that Hermione likes…"

"Boka Restaurant?" he confirmed already dialing I nodded and he started talking to Luna. Less than a minute he said "Luna, love... don't drag her… no… Lu… Shit!" he turned to me with wide eyes "She hang up on me…" Blaise laughed and Theo punched him "She said they will both be there at 12:30. I will call right away to make the reservations." With that, he stood up and got out.

"Brendon? You still with me man? Yes… Can you meet us at 12:30 at Boka Restaurant?" he nodded for himself listening to the other end of the conversation "Good. We'll see you there" he turned to me smiling and the three of them stood up "Mr. Malfoy. Thank you so much for that!"

"Not a problem at all" I said while shaking their hands once more "We'll see you gentlemen at lunch"

With that, I saw them leave the conference room been guided by Blaise and couldn't help but smile. Perhaps this was it… what I have been looking for… a way of getting my Hermione back… to make her smile once more.

Luna POV

When I got the call from Theodore, I could not believe it… I mean is Brendon Urie! He is just sooo yummy…Hermione and I have had a crush on him FOREVER! I was at Starbucks getting myself a coffee and a croissant and Hermione's croissant and that weird Frapucino she likes so much. I got the order quickly and checked my phone, it is 10:15. Hermione would be getting out of Volleyball practice at 10:30. The school is only 10 minutes away so I rush to the car and drive to the school.

Hermione had been really down for the last 2 months and finally, last weekend, Miss Anne and I convinced her to go to a Psychologist. She had 3 sessions this week… I have no idea how that dude did it, but I finally saw her smiling this morning when I went to pick her up. Draco had not called this morning for an "update" so he still have no idea.

Once I am parked, I grabbed my bag and mine and Hermione's breakfast and made my way to the Gym. I said hello to the coaches sitting in the bench Ms. Krysten Karns (our Biology teacher) and Mr. Hector Patino (the MYP Geometry Teacher) and sat next down. Right when I sat, the main coach of the team, Ms Graace Luk (our English Teacher) ended the practice and Hermione made her way to me.

"Lemon Pie!" she yelled and the team laughed behind her "Please say you brought me breakfast as well"

"One Ham & Cheese Croissant" I said pushing the bag her way "and a Venti Iced double chocolaty chip crème frapuccino blended crème with whole milk and whipped cream"

"Woman! You are a Goddess!" I laughed, because it is damn true

"Anyway cookie, I need you to eat that croissant quick and go take a shower"

"Why the hell would I do that? I was thinking and early lunch at Applebee's and a nice relaxing swimming time before Soccer Practice"

"Shit! I forgot about that! What time is practice?"

"2:30pm" I have no idea how I understood, she had half of her croissant on her mouth for God's sake

"Cute, cookie. Swallow, go to take a shower, leave that damn Frapuccino in here and you can have it once you are done"

"Why are you been so mean today, Luna?"

"Because I am the best assistant you could possible get" she raised her eyebrow waiting for an explanation "Guess who called in today requesting to meet you at 12:30 at Boka Restaurant?" she shrugged and kept on looking at me. "Gosh cookie!" and now she roll her eyes… cute "Go take a shower dimwit!"

"Tell me"

"Go"

"I am not moving until you start talking."

"You are no fun today, cookie… Promise you will go take a shower as soon as I tell you… You are starting to stink cookie"

"So not true… But whatever, I promise."

"Brendon Urie from P…"

"Panic! at the Disco! Holly shit Luna! How did you do that?"

"No, no… shower first. We have to be there in less than two hours." She took a big sip and ran away. "Got to love the crazy pumpkin" I said to myself finishing my croissant and coffee

It took Hermione 45 minutes for her to come out again. She was joking and laughing with her team mates and I smiled looking at her. It was nice seeing her happy once again. I looked at her clothe… a black warm legging, gray leg warmers, a white with black lines long sleeve shirt and a black vest with black flat boots (Outfit can be found in my pinterest link pin . it / T27vf3M or in goo . gl / images / WqKgMI ). She was carrying a back purse and a gym bag with her uniforms. I shudder from just thinking about all the sweat in there… Ugh

In that moment, my cellphone vibrated, I pulled it up seeing a text message from Theodore.

Reservation under Malfoy. –Theo

Hello to you too, Theodore! -Luna

I already said Hello earlier when I called you, beautiful. -Theo

What an ass! Hermione came to stop in front of me and I automatically gave her the frapuccino I had confiscated earlier. She happily started drinking it while walking to the exit door with the team. I shook my head and made my way with them.

"So, Hermione… Next Friday, will you be going to Cedric's party? It is supposed to be amazing" Parvati asked. Parvati was a nice girl from the team, slightly jealous of Hermione's singing, but overall a good person. Hermione turned to me and I checked my calendar and showed her.

"Does not seems like I will go, Parvati. We have a visit game with the soccer team"

And that was the end of the conversation. She kept on drinking happily and waved goodbye to the girls before getting the gym bag on the back seats and sitting in the passenger seat. On our way to downtown, Hermione was checking the calendar on her phone. When her Frappuccino was over she turn those damn puppy dog eyes in my direction and I sighed going though a Starbucks Drive Thru for another of her Coffee-Wanna-Be and a Real black coffee for me.

It was 12:28 when we finally made it to the restaurant. I stopped the car at the entrance.

"Go ahead, cookie. I will park the car."

"Are you sure, Lu? I can wait for you."

"Are you really going to make Brendon Urie wait for you, cookie?" we giggle knowing we would probably be acting like schoolgirls in just a few minutes. She go out of the car and closed the door. I pulled the window down and yelled "Reservation is under Malfoy!"

Hermione POV

I love Luna, I really do. I mean, she is my best friend. And I am pretty sure that Draco had something to do with this meeting, but I was not ready to face him just yet. I took a deep breath and looked up. Right there, at the entrance, as beautiful and perfect as always, was Draco Malfoy. Thank God I listened to Luna and took a shower… not that I care or anything. I was about to start making my way over when I heard my name been called.

"Hermione!" I looked at my left and there was Thomas. He was already in his late 20's and he was still wearing those dreadlocks. I laughed and skipped over to him hugging him.

"Thomas! I never would have imagine I would see you away from Navy Pier you crazy… What are you doing in here?" I looked at his guitar in hand and understood "Rich people tip nice?"

"You know angel… Sing with me?"

"I don't know…"

"Please, just one song"

"I…" I looked at Draco still in the entrance with Luna next to them and nodded my head at Thomas "Sure, but only one" his smile was amazing, just like I remembered. "What song?"

"You remember the Adele cover we sang last year at Navy Pier?"

"The reggae version"

"That's the one"

He started playing his guitar and people immediately stopped to look at us

Hello, it's me

I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet

To go after, everything

They say that times supposed to heal you but I ain't done much healing.

I closed my eyes and started swinging with the music.

Hello, can you hear me?

I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be

When we were younger, and free

I've forgotten hoe it felt before the world felt at our feet.

There's such a difference, between us

And a million miles.

People already recognized the song, I could hear people murmuring the lyrics with us. I opened my eyes and smiled at the crowd around us. I noticed some of them had their phones recording us .

So hello from the other side

I must have called a thousand times

To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home.

Hello from the outside

At least I can say that I've tried

To tell you I'm sorry, for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore.

When Thomas started singing, I continued swinging slowly with a huge smile. It felt so good to sing with him once again.

Hello, how are you?

It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry

I hope that you're well

Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?

It's no secret that the both of us

Are running out of time.

I kept my attention on the crowd around us. This was me trying to calm my nerves before facing Draco and Brendon Urie!

So hello from the other side (hello from the other side)

I must have called a thousand times (thousand times)

To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done (sorry, for everything I've done)

But when I call, you never seem to be home. (Never seem to be home)

Hello from the outside (hello from the other side)

At least I can say that I've tried (say that I tried)

To tell you I'm sorry, for breaking your heart (sorry, for breaking your heart)

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore. (It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore.)

Anymore (Ohh does not tear you apart no more)

Anymore (I'm so sorry baby)

Anymore

The people started clapping and I smiled hugging Thomas making my way once again to the entrance of Boka Restaurant. I couldn't help but notice the people at the entrance. Draco, Theodore, Blaise, Luna, Pete Wentz from the Fall Out Boys Brendon Urie from Panic! at the Disco and two unknown older man. They were talking and smiling. I made my way over and they stopped talking.

"Miss Granger?" Brendon spoke first extending his hand in front of me "My name is Brendon Urie" I nodded unable to speak. I was shaking his hand kind of starstruck, he just kept on smiling "That was magnificent!"

And, queue the blush…
