Sorry! It's taken me forever to get this chapter up! Actually, it
just took me forever to write it. I couldn't get it to where I liked it.
So, please don't hate me if you don't like it. Please review and tell me
what you think! Also, please check out my other stories too! Thanks so much
for reading!
Oh! Thanks for all the reviews! I've just got to say something quickly to a few of you.
DemonAngi ~ Wow! You made my day! No, you made my month! Way too much credit, but thanks! Now I really have to be careful about what I post!
Duckie! ~ I'd really like to just come out and say who ends up with who, but it'd ruin the story! You'll just have to keep reading to see if they end up together! Muahahha! Ok sorry about the evil laugh.
Strayc@at ~ Sorry about the formatting. It never shows up like it does when I type it. I've tried spacing it even more but it hasn't worked. Any advice?
DumbledoresQuill ~ How could you tell I'm big for the R/H ship? Haha!

Ok, it'll be no problem. How hard can it be? Hermione walked into the Starbucks she had chosen to apply to work at. Actually, it was the only one hiring at the moment. It was about an hour or so from her house, so she was going to rent an apartment for the summer. Oh well.She thought. That was kind of her plan anyway.
A man slouched behind the counter, twirling an empty cup on his fingers. Hermione hesitated before speaking. "Um, excuse me?" The man looked up and set down the cup.
"What can I get for you today?" he said smiling. "Oh, actually, I was interested in applying for a job. Can I talk to the
manager?" "A job? Ok, your total comes to $5.47, and what is your name?" Hermione laughed. "No, I'm just kidding. Here," he said handing her a piece of paper and a pen. "Fill this out first." Hermione took the paper and quickly filled it out. It was basic things like how to contact her and her address. She had to write her parents house but put a note that she would be getting an apartment within the next few days. She took the paper back to the man. "So Hermione Granger, is it? It's nice to meet you, Hermione. My name is Matt. I'm the manager." This surprised Hermione. He looked about the same age as her. "Ok, now that you've finished the application, there is one more thing you must do. Are you ready?"
"Yes." "Ok! In order to get the job you must." he said pausing just to build the suspense. "Spell Czechoslovakia backwards! You've got ten seconds go!" he said it so quickly Hermione could barely understand him. This is rather peculiar.she thought. He must be joking.
"You're kidding, right?"
"No! Ten seconds!"
"But it's not even-"
"Nine."
"Fine. A, I, K-" Just then a rather large man burst through the doors to the back. "Matt, I need you to-oh! Good ahead and help the customer first." Hermione raised one eyebrow. "So you're the manager, eh?" she said to Matt. "You mean Matt? No, he's not the manager. I am! Is something wrong? Matt, what did you do? I apologize for whatever happened. Here, have a free coffee! No need to sue or anything." Said the real manager becoming very tense. He was obviously quite paranoid.
"Nothing! She wants a job." "A job?" said the man seeming quite relieved. "Oh thanks goodness! Did she fill out the form?"
"Yes." "Well, let me see it!" Matt handed it to the manager. "Hermione Granger? Do you have any work experience?"
"No, I'm afraid not."
"Do you know how to make coffee?"
"No, but I'm willing to learn."
"Good! Eagerness! That's a great quality for an employ to have! Can you
start immediately?"
"Yes."
"Good! You're hired! My name's Phillip, by the way. I'm glad to have you on board!" he said extending out his hand. Hermione shook it. "Ok, you will be working this shift with Matt. There aren't a lot of customers this time of day so Matt will have plenty of time to teach you how to run everything. Until you do learn, you will be running the cash register. If you aren't busy now, he can start to show you now."
"Actually, if it's ok, I've got to go look for an apartment." "No problem! Tomorrow morning will be fine! Now, if you'll excuse me, I've
got to go answer the phone. Matt will get you your uniform. Goodbye!"
Phillip left the room, leaving Hermione and Matt alone. "Just a sec'. I'll go get it. I'm guessing you take a small?"
"Yes." Wahoo. she'd be working the shift with Matt. Ok, so he didn't seem that bad, but he did seem like he liked to joke a lot. A moment later he returned.
"So here is your lovely apron." He said with sarcasm, handing it to her overdramatically. "Just wear a white shirt, and black pants under it. Or vice versa, it doesn't really matter. So are you moving here permanently, or just here for the summer?"
"Just the summer."
"Any idea where you're going to look for apartments."
"Not a clue."
Matt chuckled. "I'd look into the Manchester Apartment Complex. I lived there for a while. It wasn't too bad."
"Thanks."
"No prob'."
"Well, I better get going. Bye!"
"See you tomorrow!"
"See you!" Yes! She thought. I got the job!
Ok, so there it is. I hope it was ok! Please review and tell me what you think! And also, once again, please check out my other stories too! Thanks!
