Chapter 3: A "Normal" Day at the Office

"Beep, beep, beep," whinnied Hermione's alarm clock at 3 AM. She hit the snooze button and then sat up. "Not another day," Hermione groaned as she rubbed her eyes, stretched, and headed towards the shower.

After a 15-minute shower Hermione looked in her closet and pulled out a black skirt, a white button down shirt, and a pair of black high hells. She dressed very simple and then put on her glasses and her hair in a bun. She really looked like a businessperson with her brief case and the always- ringing spell-phone.

She neared the pent-house of Draco and realized that she had forgotten her hand-held pocket keeper so she had to turn around and go back to the flat. That set her back ten minutes so she chose the first suit in the closet, a black one with a cape, one of Draco's personal favorites.

After making his breakfast Hermione woke him up and set out for the office. She climbed in her BMW and headed for the office. When she came in the spell-phone immediately went off and sure enough it was 6 AM.

After talking to Draco on the spell (short for spell-phone) she went into the lounge and saw Liz chatting up some executive. After a few minutes that executive left, he had a phone number.

"So, working you're magic on the new executive?" Hermione asked very sarcastically.

"Hey, at least I take time to notice other people, Miss I-have-to-do- everything-for-Draco," she said laughing.

"That's my name," Hermione sighed wishing she had time to chat up executives or even have a life.

"You should do something about it, maybe quit," said Liz sipping a cup of Newt flavored coffee.

"I'll give him my two weeks notice tomorrow," said Hermione thinking that the change of pace would make life exciting,

As she sat at her desk Hermione found that she didn't have anything to do so she wrote her resignation letter.

"To whom it may concern, I, Hermione Granger, here by give my two weeks notice. I will be resigning from my position as gopher for Draco Malfoy as of June 14. I will be obliged to do my job as for these two weeks, but after that I am leaving.
Yours truly,
Hermione Granger

She put it on Malfoy's desk and then left. When she hopped into her BMW she turned up the music, it was "Mystical," and she loved his music. When she got to her flat she changed into a tank top, shorts, and sneakers to go take a run.

After a stressful day at work she enjoyed to unwind by taking a run. But, before she could leave Hermione had to feed Phantom and clean out the litter box. Then she could leave.

She started to run and her phone rang.
