I don't own harry potter
He sat waiting for his name to be called. He hated waiting for what seemed forever like before they called his name. He was waiting to see his counselor, he had been sent there after the war to help with his PTSD. Draco Malfoy was starting to become bored. He picked up a magazine that was sitting on the table in front of him " why are they always outdated?" He muttered to himself. He looked around and took a deep breath; he actually didn't mind his counselor . There was soft music playing in the background and there chairs arranged in a u shape and the table in between the u shape fish tank next to the Receptionist area. He decided to pick up a magazine. He was just flipping through the pages when he heard the door in office open. He then heard voices. The receptionist said "Mr. Malfoy she is almost ready for you." He heard voices out to waiting area " Do you want to do the same time next Miss Granger?" The receptionist asked someone Draco couldn't see yet but he could hear her " yes that would be great." The door to receptionist area opened. Draco felt the breath leave him. It was Hermione Granger, his secret crush/obsession for years. She looked up " Hello Malfoy" quietly. Draco thought she looked like a goddess. She was still tiny with curves in the right areas. Her hair hung down in waves. He blinked finally and stood to greet her. He walked over to her held his hand "hello granger" she looked him almost like she was going not shake his hand " Hello Draco" as took hold of his hand he was surprised she wanted to shake his hand he took hold her hand realizing how tiny it was compared to his he then brought it up his lips and placed a kiss on the back of her hand. He was waiting for her to yell or hit him however when she just blushed he was surprised. He let of her hand. " Mr Malfoy I am ready for you now."
He walked past Hermione "Granger" she turned her head " keep in touch" he winked at her as walked into the office. Hermione was shocked that he was charming toward her but he was very good looking. She decided that she would get in touch with and was tired of doing what other people wanted her to do. From then on she was going to do what wanted to and she wanted to get to know Draco Malfoy better.
She walked out the office into the bright sunlight on diagon alley. She smiled as she saw how full of life it seemed it was. It had been bursting with life since the end of the war. She saw children running down the street and she laughed at them. She wished she was able to be so care free when she was that age. She continued to walk until she got to her shop. It was an idea she got from the muggle world; it was a bookstore with a coffee bar area inside. She absolutely loved her shop; it was the combination of wizard and muggle like her. She carried both muggle and wizardry books including supplies for each of Hogwarts students. She arrived at the door of a store called "Miss Mione's Books & More" She took the key out of her pocket and unlocked the door. As soon as she walked through the door put her purse on a nearby counter she then took out her wand. She opened the blinds, the closed sign was turned to open, She walked toward the coffee area, she started brewing the coffee. She looked at her watch and she knew that her employees should be here soon. She went back toward the front and picked up her purse. She wasn't sure but she felt that today was going to be different.
Draco Malfoy was done with his therapy. The counselor was a muggle born who saw how people were hurting since the end of war. She decided to open in diagon alley people thought it wouldn't let. However when people realized that Draco Malfoy was going to seek counseling suddenly the wizarding community was not opposed any longer to counseling. Draco Malfoy was walking into the receptionist area the receptionist asked if he would the same time next week "yes thank you" He asked " do you happen to have Miss Granger;s contact information" She looked at him and winked "I know you two earlier I think you both would make a lovely couple, I can't give you her contact information unfortunately," She said as told him that she saw his face fall " Don't look so sad I happen to know that she has a book store not far from here I believes it Miss Mione or something like that." She said "Really thanks for information see you next week" exclaimed He walked out into the warm sunlight. Chapter 2
Draco realized that was the first time that he was unable to stop thinking about a woman. He would never tell anyone but he used to watch Hermione Granger when they were in school. He wanted to make it up to Hermione and he wanted to have her in life. He noticed that there were lots of people going and diagon alley was very lively. He loved it, he made him almost forget about the dark past. As he was walking he decided to go to his best friend's restaurant. He walked through the door of italian restaurant and he was met with a delicious smell of food cooking. "Mr. Malfoy would you like a table?" a server asked him "No thank you I am going to see Blaise real quick." "Not a problem he is his office" "Thank you" Draco walked through the restaurant where there were a few people eating. Blaise wanted to make a restaurant that was italian and comfort feeling all the tables had red and white checked table cloths with vases with flowers in them. There were also paintings that would change depending on the time of day. It was a very popular restaurant and people love the food. Draco came to stairs at the back of the dinning room where Blaise's office was. He walked up the stairs and came to a door that said Blaise's office. He knocked on the door and it was opened "Draco my friend what can I do for you? " He let Draco walk into the room. Draco walked into the room and sat on the leather couch. " I just finished my weekly therapy" "How did it go?" Blaise asked as Draco stretched his legs putting his ankle over his other ankle " My therapy was good and I saw Miss Granger." Blaise's eyebrows went up " Really I don't see any red marks I am guessing she didn't slap you this time." "Oh ha ha that was years ago " Draco said with an eye roll " Actually she was very friendly I told her to stay in touch and she was speechless" "Wow look at you do you think that she could be the one?" " I am not sure but I really hope she does. I could see myself with her." " Do you have a date? Do you know that she has a book shop" Draco laughed "you seem more excited then I am and I am very excited" " I think she can a lot better than Weasley I got to know her our final year he didn't treat her very well I found her several times in the heads common room crying from what he done" "What did he do" Draco asked deathly quiet "He was jealous because of our friendship he couldn't understand that she was like my sister." "I am so glad that you don't mind that I would have a relationship with her if she would let me" "Draco my friend I think if you get to know her as a friend first and be there as shoulder to let her cry on she could easily fall for you." "I plan to become her friend first and when I looked in her eyes she seemed very lonely. It made my heart reach to her." " Just remember she has been hurt, it means take her longer to open up to you." Thank you for the advice."
