belong to J.K. Rowling. I own only Amanda, Hermione's paperwork loving
secretary. Lol.
Hermione Granger popped into the Ministry fifteen minutes before she had to be there. She sighed and walked up to a desk where the security guard sat, looking bored, as always.
"Name?" He asked in his same old bored voice. He looked up.
"Hermione Granger. I work here." She pulled out the badge that had her picture on it, her name, and where at in the Ministry she worked. Hermione handed the badge to the guard.
He took it and ran it through a scanner. Then he let her through. She walked through the halls, wandering around until she found the right door. It was painted brown. A normal and dull brown color. She pushed open the door and stepped inside the office. It looked normal enough.
There was cream-colored carpet on the floor. Hermione could feel the softness of the carpet through her shoes. There were a few plants around the office. One was in a corner, and was nearly touched the ceiling. There were two that hung from the ceiling in the middle of the room, and one more on a desk.
The desk had many stacks of paper on it. There were several quills on it, and a black bottle of ink. Sitting at the desk, was a young woman with blond hair that was tied back into a ponytail. The woman smiled a wicked smile at Hermione.
"Good Morning, Miss Granger." Amanda said slyly. "I have some more paper work for you to fill out before five o clock tonight."
"Great." Hermione said with false joy. She rolled her eyes. "Well, let's see it then."
Amanda handed Hermione a particularly large stack of papers. Hermione wanted to moan, but she didn't want Amanda to be even more proud by seeing Hermione upset by a little paperwork. A little? Ha. Thought Hermione.
Hermione crossed the cream carpet to another door that led to her office. She pulled out a key and put in into the doorknob. She tried to push open the door, but it was jammed. Just my luck! Hermione thought angrily.
"Bloody door!" Hermione said out loud. "I can't believe this!" She hated her door. It always got stuck at the worst times. "Amanda! Can you get someone over here to fix this bloody door?"
"Get right on it." Amanda said absently. Hermione felt like cursing. She knew Amanda wouldn't get around to it for a while.
Hermione shoved her shoulder against the door. It un-stuck and entered her office. There was nothing very special about the office. There was a desk with a few papers on it with several drawers in it. Hermione walked over to the chair behind her desk and sat down. She felt like crying, but instead, she set her head on the desk after she had set the paperwork down, and fell asleep. She dreamed about that horrible day.
************Flash back***************
Hermione Granger sat in her favorite chair, writing an essay for Charms. She was extremely happy. Nothing, she felt, could ever go wrong. She and Ron had been dating for about three months now, and she couldn't be happier.
The portrait hole swung open and her favorite red headed boy walked in and frowned when he saw Hermione sitting in her chair. He didn't want to do this, but he was sure he would be happier with Lavender. Hermione was such a bookworm anyways. He sighed and walked over to Hermione.
"Oh hi, Ron." Hermione smiled. "What do you need?"
"Hermione, I.." He was cut of by a sugary sweet voice.
"Oh, Ron? I thought we were going to go study in the library?" Lavender Brown said. She tilted her head sideways to look at Hermione.
"Oh, hello Lavender." Hermione said.
"Hi." Lavender said quite shortly.
"Hermione, I don't really know how to say this." Where was his cute pet name for her? "Hermione, I have been having a great time with you, but I really don't think that I could stay with you much longer. I think I need a different kind of girl, no offense. I don't think that we should see each other anymore."
Hermione felt warm tears flowing down her cheeks. Ron turned around and hooked arms with Lavender and walked off with his new girl. She was his girl now, and Hermione was nobody again.
**************End Flash back**************
There was a knocking at Hermione's office door. It stirred her awake.
"Oh, come on in!" She whacked her hand to her forehead. "Oh, sorry. Hang on." She had forgotten that the door was stuck.
She got off her chair and walked over to the door. She shoved the door open. She gasped. Harry Potter was standing in front of her.
"Harry! Hi!"
"Hey Hermione. Can I come in?" Harry looked around the office. Hermione stepped away from the door, and let Harry inside, then closed the door.
"So, how are you, Harry? It's been a while, hasn't it?" Hermione laughed a bit, though she didn't feel like it at all. She sat behind her desk.
"I'm alright. Listen, I came here to invite you to a wedding."
"Oh really? Who's getting married?" Hermione asked cheerfully. She liked weddings. She once went to her cousin's wedding in Italy.
"Ron and Lavender."
Me: This is kind of sad at first, sorry. But, I promise it'll get better. What do you think of it so far? Kind of shocking, isn't it? And please, please, please, review. I want to know what you guys think. Thanks for reading. =)
