~*~*~*~Five Years Later~*~*~*~
Hermione Granger (if you read the first one you'll get why its still Granger) sat at her desk, bored out of her mind. She had been sitting in the same spot all day with nothing to do. Her boss had left work for them to do while he was on vacation but she had already finished her share.
She worked for the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical and Muggle Finance. It had been opened 3 years ago when Gringotts started getting an overwhelming amount of money exchanged and they were already short staffed so they got this brilliant idea to handle all the numbers.
She had started out as a secretary's assistant and quickly worked her way up to assistant manager of the Department. She had become bored of the possession extremely fast though and was going insane.
She was toying with a certain pendant on a silver chain around her neck. She had promised to never remove it, no matter what happened and she had kept that promise for five years now.
~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~
"Mia you know I love you no matter what right?" he looked her straight in the eyes.
"Yes, and I you" her voice rang with sincerity.
"And I will love you always and forever, if we're together or apart?"
She just nodded this time. "Mia, promise me that you will forever where the chain and ring, no matter where you or I are"
"I promise I will Draco, and I want you to promise the same thing"
"I will Mia, I will never remove it, not even in death"
~*~*~*~End of Flashback~*~*~*~
"Mia, hey you want to go for dinner with Padma and I?" Ginny Weasley asked her best friend.
"Sure, why not? Where you guys going?"
"We thought we'd just hit that little Café around the corner from the apartment. You know the one that just opened? I hear it has absolutely amazing food!"
"I've heard that to. Are we picking Padma up or is she going to meet us at the apartment?"
"She's going to meet us. She met her sister today and we both know that that means she could be a while. I mean, the way those two talk, I swear that's all they ever do"
"Hey I heard that you know" Padma was standing behind Ginny with an expression of mock hurt on her face.
"I knew you were because Mia over here got that smirk on her face that she always used to get when Dra. Come on let's go to dinner" Ginny quickly covered what she was going to say.
She knew that was the wrong subject with Mia. Every time he was brought up Mia's expression would harden more than usual for a single moment but it would disappear almost instantly and you would think that you had imagined it.
But Ginny knew her friend better than that. She knew that Draco had ripped her heart in two that night. Mia had loved Draco more than life itself and would have gone to the ends of the earth with him. Ginny had been in tears over her break-up with Blaise that evening, as had Padma with Justin and Mia had comforted them all night. But when they took a close look at their friend in the following weeks they saw that wall there.
Her smile and laughter never reached her eyes anymore and it still didn't. They had never been able to break down that wall again. The boys had always had such a big part in making it crumble, especially Draco. With them gone, it seemed that Mia would never be Mia again. They took a piece of her soul that night and it would most likely never be returned.
They had taken a part of Ginny and Padma as well, but they had come through on the other side, still hurt but able to get on with their lives. But they like Hermione had made a promise that night to never remove the chain and they had stuck to it.
The three friends walked out of Hermione's office and apparated back to their apartment, so they could change and go to dinner. They had lived together ever since they returned from Hogwarts.
It had turned out that Hermione had no choice, as her 'father' kicked her out when he found out that she knew she was adopted. Ginny moved out because she couldn't face going home and living under the same roof as Ron again. Padma only came with them because she didn't feel like going home and living with her parents.
They headed into the Café and sat down at a table in the corner. Hermione went up to the counter and got both herself and Padma a chicken salad sandwich and Ginny a bowl of their veggie soup. She also got them each a mocha slushie as it was to hot for coffee.
"So, Mia how was your day at work?" Ginny questioned.
"Boring as all hell, in fact I already finished the work for the week and the boss is out of town, so I have no choice but to show up at work incase of emergency"
"God that's gotta suck, Mia" Padma sympathized.
"It does, it does. But oh well, its no use dwelling on it now is it? Now how was shopping with your sister Padma. I noticed that you only had one bag"
"Oh, it was great, but we only had about an hour because Pavarti got called away on some business so we just set up another date for next week"
"O well, sorry about the delay you got stuck with but at least this time your able to set up another time, right?" Ginny told her friend.
"Exactly, but its ok, I had a dinner date with you guys anyway. How was your day at the office though Gin?"
Ginny and Padma ran a little Magical Lawyers office for witches and wizards who didn't wish to be represented by the Ministry. "Oh, it was good. We got 5 new clients to day but my god, the Ross's came in today, you know the case, the one where the kid got caught stealing but their trying to prove it was someone else, anyway, I have never heard so much yelling in my life. They got in to this major fight right in the middle of the office. The mother believe the kid but the father doesn't." and she carried on describing some of the cases that took place that day.
"But we're getting paid really well on that one." Ginny suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence and her eyes grew wide. "Ahhh.anyone want another slush?" she asked as she kicked Padma under the table and threw her head in the direction of the doors.
"Sure, why not" Hermione answered her. "I could use the caffeine today"
"Alright, I'll be right back"

What she see? Short yes, but they will remain short on this story as I have no idea where I'm taking it but as I woke up yesterday to 6 new reviews and by the evening had like 12 I figured I better get a sequel up and going before I got yelled at.
