Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, so don't sue me.

Author's Note I'm probably going to update everyday, just so your wondering. I don't really like a soft or nice Draco. It ruins his character. I'll try to keep him as mean as possible. But be warned he will have to change because he isn't a Death Eater, he's a normal man, or wizard, whatever! The next three or so chapters are going to be a little boring but it has to be done to get where I've got it.( Did that make any sense.) * * * * *

Summary for this chapter and the last chapters written. Hermione's company gets closed down.yadayadayada...umm Draco and Hermione fight, but not too big. He goes to her apartment. Harry, Ron and Ginny come back to London, or where ever they are, by the way, where ARE they. *shrugs* Anyway Hermione , Harry and the Weasley's meet Draco and Blaise in a restaurant by accident, (yet it does happen). And there it is. * * * * *

Please review and tell me what you think. It helps me write, even if it is bad. If you think something doesn't make sense or I need to change something please tell me NOW so I can change it for the future. Thank you to those who reviewed my last chapter. And thank you to Tanya for helping me out. "Everyone say thank you to Tanya because if it wasn't for her this fic wouldn't be here."

It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday

Chapter Four - It's All Coming Together

By Michelle a.k.a LillyLollyPop69

Hermione just got out of the shower after her morning run when the door bell rang.

"Carm could you get that please. I'm still getting dressed." Hermione yelled to her flat mate while putting on a pair of jeans.

"Sure Mione." Carmyn said as she got up from her seat at the breakfast table. She walked to the door and opened it. There stood a young man in a black cloak. His blonde hair making him stand out. His silver eyes making him look like a god. Carmyn felt herself flush. Her cheeks burned and a blush started to appear. "Cannn- I - I - help - yoouu - sirrr." Carmyn stuttered then cursed to herself her being stupid. She was trying hard not to sound impressed by his looks. But it wasn't working.

Draco smirked when he saw this woman in front of him blushing. "Hi, my name's Draco Malfoy, and I came here to see Hermione Granger."

"Uh right, Malfoy." Draco frowned when she referred to him as Malfoy.

"Yes Malfoy. But I would prefer you call me Draco." He said taking her hand and kissing it lightly. The woman blushed a deep red. "And you are?"

"Oh me, my name's Carmyn. Carmyn Reid. It's a pleasure to finally meet you Mr Mal- I mean Draco. Hermione has told me so much about you." she said politely. 'Although it wasn't all good.' she thought.

"She has?" Draco said in disbelief.

"Yeah." Carmyn quickly got off the subject. "Why don't you come in, Hermione's busy at the moment, but I'll go tell her you're here." Draco nodded and walked in while Carmyn sprinted up stairs to get Hermione.

'Nice view.' Draco thought as he wondered around the apartment, which over looked London. He went to a shelf and picked up a framed picture. 'Oh look a photo of Potty, Weasel and Mudblood,' he then placed it back down. 'What is taking that woman so long.' Draco's thoughts were interrupted by two figures coming down the stairs arguing.

"Granger, I see your still not in a better mood." Draco said as his trade mark smirk reappeared.

Hermione didn't want her friend to see her getting all worked up over Draco, so when Carmyn wasn't looking she pulled the finger at Draco. Who just smiled back mockingly.

"Okay, I think I'll go to work now." Carmyn gave Hermione a hug. "Bye darling." Carmyn walked to the door. "Nice meeting you Draco," and left.

"What are you doing here?" Hermione hissed at Draco.

"Okay before you get all stressed and the insults start working their way out, I would just like to say a few things." Draco sat down on the sofa and Hermione followed suite, but on the other side of the room.

"Carry on." Hermione said leaning back and crossing her legs.

Draco couldn't concentrate. His thoughts were fixed on Hermione and how much she's changed. He looked her up and down taking in every little detail of her body. He looked at her in a way he hadn't before. Like he saw her for the first time. Like she was a beautiful woman he had just met. Draco sat there staring at Hermione making her feel uneasy. Draco's thought were interrupted by the beauty in front of him.

"God damn it Malfoy, stop staring and start talking." Hermione yelled in frustration.

"Hold up, I'm trying to think." Draco was still staring at Hermione. 'She's not the prettiest woman I've seen, but she seems different to the rest.' 'Now what was I going to say to her, uh yes that's right.' Draco was so caught up in his thoughts that he missed Hermione get up and leave the room. 'Hey, where'd she go?' he thought. He growled to himself for doing this.

"Granger!" Draco got up and walked around. "Granger where'd you get to.?!" He yelled walking into the kitchen.

"I'm up stairs Malfoy," came Hermione's response.

Draco walked up the stairs and found Hermione on her bed watching TV. "Hey, what the hell do you think your doing?!"

"Uh, watching TV." Hermione said not taking her eyes off the screen.

"Yeah I see that, but I was in the middle of talking to you. It's rude to leave while someone is talking to you." Draco said crossing his arms over his chest.

"No, you weren't talking to me, you were too busy day dreaming about god knows what."

"Granger I was thinking about what to say."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Okay, when your finished *thinking* come and get me, I'll be right here."

Draco lent on the door frame. "I just wanted to say that the opening is on September 22nd, two weeks from now. You are expected there at 6:30pm sharp. That then gives us a few minutes to go through the evening with the Ministry." Draco stood straight and dusted himself off. "The W.W.M are going to be there and so are a lot of very important witches and wizards so dress nice."

"Anything else." Hermione got up, and walked down stairs with Draco to the door.

"Yes actually there is. The Ministry thought it would be good if you brought a few of your friends a long, and a date ...if possible."

"Uh huh." Hermione opened the door. "Are you finished?"

"Yes."

"Good." And with that Hermione pushed him out the door and slammed it shut in his face. Draco just stood there stunned.

"BITCH!" he yelled.

* * * * * * * * * *

It is now September 15th and I still haven't invited my friends to come to the opening, or found anything to wear or a date to go with.

Hermione was jogging along her street when she bumped into someone.

"Oh sorry." Hermione said standing straight.

"I'm sorry, you came out of no where." The man said looking down at his feet. "I was searching for someone."

Hermione looked at the man she had just bumped into. "Do I you know you?" The man standing in front of her had jet black hair, glasses, green eyes. "Oh My God HARRY!" Hermione yelled, practically knocking him over as she jumped forward and hugged her long time best friend.

"Hermione?" Harry whispered looking her straight in the eyes. He burrowed his eyebrow. Hermione nodded with a big grin on her face.

"Hermione, it's so good to see you." Harry said as he picked her off the ground and gave her a big bear hug, and a large amount of kisses on the cheek.

"Harry stop." Hermione giggle as Harry put her down. "What are you doing here?"

"It's the holidays in America, so we came back to see you."

"Harry you said 'we' are Ron and Ginny here too?!" Harry nodded.

"They're at your apartment, waiting." The two started to walk towards the flat. "We were thinking of going to a nice restaurant tonight with Mr and Mrs Weasley, to celebrate Ron and Ginny's engagement." Hermione stopped and pondered on the news.

Her eyes widened. She let out a squeal. "BOTH are engaged?"

"Yep, Ginny and Alec, just before we left, he asked her."

"Yes that's right I remember Ginny writing to me about him. Alec Taylor."

Harry nodded as they continued to walk. "We would have told you sooner about Ron, but he wanted it to be a surprise."

"What's her name again, I've forgotten."

"Tori." Harry said as they entered the building. "Tori McQueen., but now Tori Weasley, Ron purposed in class."

"Your telling me Ron, as in Ronald Andrew Weasley purposed to a girl in his class, in front of everyone?" Hermione said as she thought through it hard.

"Sure did, two weeks ago." They reached the elevator and pressed 22nd floor.

"So how about you Harry, Seattle has done wonders for the other two. Did it do anything for you?" Harry shook his head.

"A few girlfriends maybe, but nothing special." He then looked at Hermione.

"How about you?" Harry asked with a bit of cheerfulness in his voice. Hermione sighed.

"The guys here are way too difficult." They arrived at their floor. The doors opened and they stepped out. "So I take it everyone's fine." Hermione asked as they rounded a corner.

"Yeah, everyone is doing great." They reached Hermione's apartment. Harry opened the door and let Hermione go in first. Ron and Ginny were sitting at the kitchen table with Carmyn.

"Hey you guys!" Hermione squealed as she ran to them both and hugged them.

"Hey Mione," Ginny said hugging Hermione back.

"Mione, how ya been?" Ron asked a very happy Hermione as he hugged her after she released Ginny.

"Good, I've been good. Oh Congradulations you two." They all laughed and joked all day long.

(A/N okay I'm going to skip a few hours, they're now getting ready to go to the resturant. And Mr & Mrs Weasley know about their children being engaged. And they all know about Malfoy and Hermione's company.)

* * * * * * * * * *

"Hermione you ready?" asked Ginny putting the last touches of make up on.

"Nearly Gin." Hermione said from in the bathroom.

"Hey Mione why isn't Carmyn coming?"

"Because she's got a date. I mean it's about time, that girl hasn't been out on a date since her boyfriend dumped her, which was a year ago. She only knew him for like 3 weeks."

"Well I guess she wasn't ready. Talking about ready are you done yet?" Ginny asked as she sat waiting impatiently on Hermione's bed.

"Yep."

Hermione came out of her bathroom and stepped into her room. She was wearing a skin tight dark red dress that came to just above her knee and black slip on high heels covered in diamonds. Her hair was done up in a nice messy bun with ringlets hanging loosely.

"Wow Mione you look georgous." Ginny said getting up off the bed.

"Thanks, you too." Ginny was wearing a plain black dress like Hermione's, but it only had one strap and matching high heels. And her hair was left out. Hermione was about to walk out the door when Ginny spoke.

"Hey Hermione could you do something for me?" Hermione spun around.

"Sure." Hermione walked to where Ginny was.

"Well since I'm getting married in a few months, I need to start planning the wedding. And I was wondering if your not too busy, could help me plan." Hermione smiled.

"Of course I will." Hermione hugged Ginny. (A/N theres a lot of hugging huh.)

"Oh and one more thing." Ginny paused and Hermione held her breath expecting the worse. "Could you be my maid of honour?" Hermione giggled.

"Yes, I'd love to."

"Great."

"Come on lets go down and meet the guys." They both walked down the stairs.

Harry and Ron were both sitting on the sofa waiting for them.

"Harry what is taking those ladies so long?"

Harry shrugged. "They're females Ron, it's what they do."

"Woman." Ron said rolling his eyes.

"What about woman Ronald Weasley?" Hermione asked walking down the stairs into the lounge.

"Nothing." Ron said quickly. "You two look great."

"Yeah." Harry said looking over both girls. They blushed.

"Thanks." They both said at the same time.

"Now lets get going." Hermione said as they apparated to the Burrow to pick up Mr and Mrs Weasley.

* * * * * * * * * *

At the restaurant they were all gathered around a table eating and laughing.

"Hmmm this pasta is great." Ron said shoving more food in his already full mouth.

"Ronald, do not speak with your mouth full." said Mrs Weasley.

Hermione chuckled. "So Gin, when do we get to meet Alec?" Hermione said while sipping on her wine.

"In a few weeks, we've decided to have the wedding here." They all nodded.

"And Ron, when do we get to meet the Mrs Weasley to be?"

"Uh, just before the wedding I surpose." Ron answered as he stopped eating to think about it.

Then the sound of sobbing could be heard from Mrs Weasley. "Oh, I'm so happy, my sweet little babies are getting married." said the older woman as tears started to stream down her face.

"Mom, don't cry." said both Weasley children.

"Yes-sniff-it's-sniff-a-sniff-miricle." said Mr Weasley trying hard to calm down.

"Hermioneeee." They both whined.

"Oops, sorry." Hermione turned to Harry. "Come on lets go to the bar."

"Okay."

Hermione and Harry got up and walked to the bar laeving the Weasley's to talk some more. As soon as they sat down they ordered a large sum of beers. Hermione looked over at the Weasley's who were all crying except Ron who looked bored and miserable.

After Harry and Hermione finished drinking they got up and danced. They danced around using every space on the dance floor.

Draco Malfoy walked into a brightly lit restaurant with his girlfriend at his side. Making his way through the big oak doors he caught a glimse of familiar faces.

"Oh look Drakie, there goes Potter and Granger."
