-+Draco's Point-Of-View-+

Draco smirked at the information that lay before him. 'Impressive, Granger,' he thought as he looked up some history on her. He immediately printed off the information and put it away in his secret drawer in his desk, locking it with a special binding spell and a muggle key. He then got up and stretched and looked at his silver Rolex watch. 'Ah, time to go home.'

He gathered his green and silver satin cloak and wrapped in about his neck, along with his old Slytherin scarf. He sighed at the Slytherin's signiture scarf, wrapped about his neck, bringing back certain pleasant memories. He then left his office and headed toward the front desk, locking his office doors. "Kimberly, I'm taking my leave for the leave, see you in the morning." His secretary smiled and then replied pleasantely, "Certainly as you wish, Mr. Malfoy." Draco acknowledged her reply with a nod and then apparated to his pad. He sighed happily as he landed inside his house. He went directly into his bedroom and put his day clothes in the laundry hamper. He had gotten used to doing certain things like muggle laundry he had learned in Hawaii. He then hopped into the shower.

Draco savoured the hot, steaming water, hitting his aching body. He had put up with the demanding days of being an Auror for the last four years. He stepped out of the shower, after he had washed himself well and walked to his closet, dressing in his bath robes. He walked into the kitchen, fixing himself a quick dinner. He ate quickly, washed up, and went to bed.

Hermione took a long shower and after she was done, ate a small meal and went to bed. The thought of what the secret could be had been bothering her for the longest time now. She slowly drifted off to sleep, and had a nightmare of being late to the meeting, and losing all of her notes. She awoke the next morning, startled from the dream, and shook it off with some breakfast.

Draco woke up from a slightly abrupting sleep. He couldn't think about anything, but her. He groaned as he got up and went over into the lavatory. He washed up and then walked over to his closet, picking out a set of green satin robes with a black and silver trim. He changed into the robes and then walked back into the lavatory to gel his hair, messily of course. He then walked off slowly to work, stopping by a nearby cafe for a crossaint and a coffee. He then walked back out and walked to work, taking his time.

As Hermione finished printed off things, she slowly walked home thinking again of the events that happened that day. She could have just apparated, but she felt like walking home since the weather was pretty much perfect. When she got home, she stepped absentmindedly into the shower.

Hermione took a long shower and after she was done, ate a small meal and went to bed. The thought of what the secret could be had been bothering her for the longest time now. She slowly drifted off to sleep, and had a nightmare of being late to the meeting, and losing all of her notes. She awoke the next morning, startled from the dream, and shook it off with some breakfast.

Hermione, when finished eating, took a quick shower, dressed, and brushed her hair. She decided to again walk to work today. The weather was too perfect to miss. While on the way to work she bumped into a man in green satin robes with black and silver trim.

(A/N: From here on, I'll only use point of views if totally necessary.)

"I'm so sorry, Miss," he said as he looked up. She was a beautiful girl with brown eyes and curly brown hair and thought, 'Wow.'

Hermione looked up and smiled, "It's quite alright." She looked into his eyes and thought that he looked vaguely familiar. 'He looks good.' She thought.

Draco looked into her eyes, they were so entrancing. She reminded him of someone, but he was too busy to notice. "How can I make it up to you? I wasn't paying attention and would love it if you'd join me for a cup of coffee sometime." He smiled.

"Sure that would be great." Hermione nodded her head, slowly. "When is good for you?"

Draco smiled and replied, "Whenever is good for you."

"Well...I should really go to work right now..." Hermione grinned.

"I should, too.. Um, how can I contact you?" Draco returned the grin.

"Well, I can give you my office or home phone number if you like."

"Both, just in case." He grinned even more. "If you don't mind, of course."

"It's fine." Hermione pulled out a pad of paper and quickly wrote both numbers on it. Tearing it off, she handed it to him. "There, the top one is to the office. It's straight to my phone so you won't have to deal with the secretary. The bottom one is my home phone."

Draco smiled and then said, "Till then, Miss." He kissed her hand and then left for his office.

-+Hermione's Point-Of-View-+

Hermione blushed and grinned as she slowly walked towards the building of her office. She got on the elevator and rode up to her office. She sat down in her desk, thinking about what just happened. 'I wonder who that man was...' She thought. 'He was cute though. Hopefully he calls me.' She sighed heavily and made sure not to tie up her phone line by making conversations short.

Hermione's eyes wandered from the phone to the clock. "Oh no..." She had forgotten about the meeting that took place today. She apparated home, changed into her best robes, straightened her hair, and apparated back to work. She gathered all of her notes and thought she was ready for the meeting. She sat down and was shaking with nervousness.

Hermione looked back at the clock and called the others who were to attend the meeting. She had told them to meet her at the front doors. She then walked quickly down and was greeted by the faces of her co-workers. She led them straight to the Ministry of Magic confrence room where the meeting would be held.

-+Draco's Point-Of-View-+

He had several things to grab before attending the big meeting. 'Wow, that girl looked unbelievably gorgeous.. I should call her soon..' He grinned as he walked into his office, heading for his desk. The meeting was in about am hour, so he had to get his things immediately. He carefully placed his papers in a black suitcase, embedded with the initials of D.X.M. It also had a complicated lock on it, so he was the only one that could have ever gotten into it. He grabbed his suitcase, after having to close it, and went back to the front desk. He made an annocement of the meeting to five members of his staff through a special line and then told them to meet him up at the front doors of his firm. He stood by the elevator and five minutes later, they appeared, each with their

suitcases with the words Dragon Enterprises embedded in silver across their suitcases along with their initials. The five members were Christian Nuccio, Shawn Healey, Carolyn McCann, Alexander Froyer, and Thomas Crusso. They all left, Draco leading the group, to the Ministry of Magic building's conference room.

Draco's group was greeted by Albus Dumbledore, the new Minister of Magic and Minerva McGonagall, his younger wife. They were both his previous professors, so he knew them well. "Please have a seat, Mr. Malfoy." Draco nodded and led his staff over to a side of a room. There were two sides, the center being divided by a wall that was removable by magic. 'Must be a reason to keep the other side put there.' He laughed quietly to himself and he waited for the meeting to begin.

**********

Hermione walked in, and spoke a few greetings to Dumbledore and McGonagall before sitting down. She and her colleagues sat down, anticipating the beginning of the meeting she had been waiting for.

Hermione looked around the table and saw the man she had run into earlier. She looked at him oddly, before turning her attention elsewhere.

Albus and Minerva sat at the opposite sides of the wall and the wall lifted. Draco and his collegues saw the members of Lion Enterprises and he gasped at the woman that sat across from him, at the rather small mahogany table. "Hello, nice to be of your acquintance."

"Hello, and it is my pleasure." She smiled at him and held out her hand to be shaken.

Draco offered his hand and then smiled, shaking her hand. It was the woman that he had ran into earlier.

Hermione thought, 'He still looks familiar, like I have seen him before this morning...That is odd.'

Dumbledore and McGonagall looked at them both strangely. "Don't you know each other?", McGonagall said. Albus hushed her up courteously and said, "Let the meeting begin." He then went on to, "Dragon Enterprises and Lion Enterprises have been rivaling companies for the last four or five years. I have though about this long and hard and I think that the two of you should join companies and make yourselves a new name. I do not care what the new name is, I just think that this rivalary between the two promienant firms is just plain silly. How do you both plead?"

Draco looked at Dumbledore and then at the girl in front of him. "I wouldn't mind, Headma..Minister."

Dumbledore smiled and nodded and then looked over at Hermione, in search for a reply.

Hermione looked from the man to Dumbledore. "It sounds fine to me. Er...Minister."

Dumbledore smiled and then said, "The rest of the members of the companies, please stand up and greet each other since the ten of you will be working together starting today."

Draco's collegues, Christian Nuccio, Shawn Healey, Carolyn McCann, Alexander Froyer, and Thomas Crusso all stood up and and made their way towards the former Lion Enterprises' Aurors. Hermione's colleagues, Kaelyn Colley, Jill Smith, Michael Sarratt, Heather Mayo, and Bill Ferley stood up and walked towards the former Dragon Enterprise Aurors.

Draco nodded in agreement at the Aurors and the new company got instructions from Dumbledore. "You will first think of a company name. Both leaders of the companies, please decide on a joint company name."

Draco pondered and then said, "I'll let the lovely lady to choose." That got him looks from Minerva.

Hermione looked at him and said, "I'm no good at thinking of names."

"Hmm.. That is problem then.. How about Hogwarts Enterprises? It's a bit silly, but I went to school there, so..." Draco grinned.

Hermione gave him an odd look and nodded, "That sounds good to me." Then she thought, 'He went to Hogwarts...'

He nodded and then Dumbledore nodded at the name, handing them an issued contract with Hogwarts Enterprises on it at the company title. Draco walked over and got ready to sign the contract. There was a catch to the contract. Both of the new onwers had to sign at the same time.

Hermione walked over and stood beside the man. She got ready to sign the contract at the same time as him. "Ready?"

"Yes." He then signed the contract with the signiture of Draco Xavier Malfoy. He did not see the woman's signiture, however to his disappointment.

Hermione signed the contract with Hermione Katherine Granger. She tried to see the mans signature but was unsuccessful. She looked up at him and smiled. "There."

Albus Dumbledore then put the contract away and then said, "All of your things have been moved already to your new office building down in London at this address." He handed them both a copy of the building's location and then he added, "You will both be sharing an office and you will have two secretaries, actually the previous ones that you have had. Now, ifi you will excuse me and Minvera, we have another meeting to attend to." Dumbledore and McGonagall walked out of the room, but before they left, Albus added, "Oh, and you don't have to check the building out until tomorrow, so the day is yours." He smiled and left with his wife.

Hermione turned to the man and smiled. "So..."

Draco smiled and told all of the Aurors to take the day off like Albus had suggested. They all nodded and left, leaving the woman and him alone. "Shall we go out for that drink then?" He smiled.

"Sounds alright to me. Where should we go?" She said as she began to walk out of the room.

He followed in suit by walking out of the conference room. "Hmm.. We could go down to the new cafe down the road, it's only a block away. It's called Lava Java, have you heard of it before?"

"I have, actually. I love it there." She grinned and walked out and towards the cafe.

He grinned and followed her. They walked into a cafe, that was decorated in a pleasing aroma of homemade javas, coffees, and other mixed drinks. They walked over to a table and Draco took a chair out for her.

"Thank you." She said as she took a seat. The waitress came over and asked what they wanted. "What can I do for you today?"

Draco smiled and took the seat opposite of her. He looked over at the woman, letting her order first.

Hermione looked at the waitress and ordered, "I just want a french vanilla cappucino. Plain, I know but it's what I like." She smiled and the waitress turned to the man. "And what can I get for you?"

He smiled and then said, "I would like the same, thanks."

"I'll be right out with your drinks." The waitress turned and went behind the counter to fulfill their order. Hermione turned to the man. "Well...Er...First off, I don't even know anything about you."

Draco smiled and then said, "Same thing applies for you."

"Well, I asked first."

"Hmm.. That is true, but ladies first."

Hermione grinned, then something at the back of her mind was suddenly popping up in her mind. 'Draco...was he even at the meeting? Hm...I missed my chance at finding out the secret.' Hermione smiled and said, "Well, I was head auror at Lion Enterprises, but now I work for Hogwarts Enterprises. I used to go there too, you know. Let's see...um, well I don't kow really what to say."

Draco smiled and then asked, "I mean.. what is your name, Miss."

"Hermione Granger."

Draco looked at her, raising a brow.

"What?"

"What are you looking at me like that for?"

Draco smirked and then said, "Do you know who I am at all?"

"Well, no. Not really...."

"I'm Draco Malfoy, Hermione. Nice to see you again." He smiled.
