Chapter 6: Not there yet.

When Hermione woke up on Monday morning, she had a really pleasant feeling of total happiness. Getting up, she thought about her week to come. Lots of shopping was planned after work every day.

She rapidly got ready for work and apparated in her office. In the whole department, there was a rush to correct the OWL'S and NEWT'S exams in time and Hermione knew she wouldn't have her next week-ends off. She hadn't been looking forward to this.

"Why is that smile so wide on your face 'Mione? Had a good night.?" Frank told her with a wink, clearly stating he thought she'd had sex of some such thing.

"No, you pervert! I just dreamt peacefully."

What actually kept her smile were the eyes of a certain very handsome young men she had to get in her bed, and the fact that he might not be that hard to get after what had happened the previous day. But what had happened? Not much in fact, but that not much was still a step in the good direction after all.

On that Monday night, she got back home with five huge shopping bags, filled with fine lingerie that made her look even more beautiful, if that was possible. On Tuesday, she came back from Diagon alley also loaded with bags containing lots of different wizard's robes in different shapes and colors, with the matching cloaks: white, pink, red, navy blue, bottle green and black. On Wednesday came the turn of the shoes and beauty products. When she came back that night, completely exhausted, she stated to herself that it was enough and that she had spent enough money on clothing for at least a year.

Hermione suddenly felt desperate. She was now missing a great chance to try to impression Draco. It was the first week-end of June and she was stuck in her office, still reviewing grades for OWL'S and NEWT'S. At least, she wasn't alone; everybody in the department had been requested to finish up this task once and for all.

Hermione knew Draco was at Annie's week-end house, just like everybody that wasn't in their department. She knew that for sure because she had asked Harry and Ron to play the spies on him. Harry had taken on him to keep an eye on Draco while at work, see what was his schedule, what he was doing in his free time, was he meeting any girl. Ron, on his side was playing the spy game doing the schedule for the ministry's junior quidittch team that Draco was coaching once in a while. Ron made sure he was not the coach when there were parties where Hermione and he could meet that summer. Besides, when Hermione wasn't around, they made sure to mention to Draco how nice and beautiful and intelligent and ... she was, just to make sure Malfoy had her in mind before flirting with someone else. (Who would have thought Harry and Ron could be interested in Draco's life!)

To the thought, she imagined her friends dressed, turn to turn in Sherlock Holmes, inspector Gadget or James Bond. She smiled and got back to work, concentrating to try and finish it.
