Summary: Based on the song Can't Let You Go By Fabolous ft. LiL mo. It takes place about five years after they graduate Hogwarts. Draco is cheating on Pansy with Hermione. He wants to divorce Pansy but obviously his father isn't about to let him marry a mud blood. It may seem like a draco/ pansy this chapter…but I'm telling you it will be d/hr in the end.

Pairings: D/hr…and maybe a little R/L.

Can't Let You Go

Chapter Two

Hermione was sitting in the living room of her 5-room flat in London. When she moved out of her parent's house, she'd decided that she wanted to live close to them in case they ever needed her. She was paid pretty well for being an auror but was nowhere near as rich as Harry, who was "Independently Wealthy" for defeating the Dark Lord. The ministry had paid Harry so much money, Hermione was sure that he was one of the wealthiest men in the wizarding world, aside from the Malfoys. Ron worked in Zonko's Joke shop, which had recently been taken over by Fred and George. Hermione's thoughts were interrupted by a tapping noise on the window. She looked up to see an owl fluttering around impatiently. She hurried over and detached the letter from the owl's leg.

It read:

Dear Hermione,

There's going to be a dinner party for the faculty of the Ministry Of Magic. As an Auror, you are required to come, for security reasons. It's formal so dress robes will be required. You are expected to be there, and if there are any problems send a reply with this owl. It takes place in two week's time, we really hope you can make it.

Sincerely,

Angelina Johnson,

Secretary.

P.S You may bring an escort if you'd like.

Hermione groaned and rolled her eyes. She hated going to formal dinner parties thrown by The Ministry. Most of the people were nice enough to her, but some of them were just too snobby. Plus, now she'd have to go out and get new dress robes, the ones that she'd had in her 4th year certainly wouldn't fit her now. She knew that Malfoy would be there, and smirked at the thought of him bringing Pansy. Not that she cared, but she didn't understand what would possess him to marry her in the first place. She grabbed her purse and headed out to Diagon Alley.

***

Draco was standing on a stool getting his new robes fitted. He received the owl about the dinner party and decided to attend. Pansy had been whining about how he never took her places anymore, so he figured this might shut her up for a while. He decided that they should go shopping separately, he told her it was because he wanted to be surprised, but it was actually because she'd been whining like a sick puppy all week and he needed a break. The door swung open, and Granger walked in. She didn't look too happy either.

"How may I help you, dear?" Madam Milkin asked.

"I'm looking for some dress robes." Hermione said while looking around, she noticed Draco standing on one of the stools and quickly looked away. 'What's Granger's problem?' He thought to himself. Then he remembered what had happened last week.

He couldn't figure out why he'd been acting like that.

' It's Pansy's fault! Being married to her is enough to drive any man nuts!' He looked over, and saw Madam Milkin take Granger to the back of the shop to look for robes. He tapped his foot impatiently, waiting for her to come back to finish his robes.

After a few minutes, Draco saw Hermione coming back with Madam Milkin. He rolled his eyes to show his impatience. Hermione glared at him while he just smirked back.

"Care to show me your dress robes, Granger?"

" No, don't think so, Malfoy" She said with a smirk. He scowled and she just rolled her eyes.

"What's it to you, anyway?" She asked, giving him a weird look.

"Nothing, just curious to know what a mud blood would wear to a dinner party." Hermione's face flushed with anger and she glared at him.

"It's none of your bloody business what I wear Malfoy, and could you stop it with the 'mud blood' insult? It's really getting old!"

"If it's getting so old then why can I upset you with it every time?" Hermione just glared at him, and turned to pay for her robes. Draco smirked, annoying Granger was still one of his most favorite things to do.

***

'That stupid git! He makes me so mad!' Hermione thought as she stormed out of the store. She had thought that after what happened yesterday, he could at least be somewhat civil!

After she had gotten back to her flat, it was raining and Hermione curled up on the couch and read a book. After a few hours she fell asleep.

***

" Draco, I can't wait till the dinner party! You should see me in my new robes, I look ravishing!" Pansy squealed while dancing in circles around him.

"I'm sure you do" He said with a forced smile.

"Draco, is something wrong? You never pay attention to me anymore! Don't you love me?" She asked with a pout.

"Of course, honey." He said, but even to himself it sounded fake.

"Are you cheating on me? Is there another woman?" She demanded her face was starting to get red. 'I wish there was' He said to himself, but to Pansy he said :

" No! Now for Christ's sake would you bugger off? Your giving me a bloody headache!" He shouted, and stormed up to his bedroom.

***

Hermione had just awoke, and was getting ready for work. She was showered and dressed, and she was combing her hair. It wasn't as bushy as it had been years ago, but it was still slightly frizzy so she used muggle hair gel.

Once she was ready, she flooed to the Ministry office. When she got there it was relatively quiet. People were just getting in, and she took her place at her desk. If there wasn't a crisis, or a death eater's house she had to raid, Hermione had a fairly boring day at work. There was nothing to do, except sit at her desk and read. Occasionally, she would run errands if people asked, but usually they didn't. Hermione was startled when she looked up to see her boss, along with Malfoy, standing over her.

"Hermione, I have a special assignment for you." Her boss said, while Draco stood there smirking at her. It was amazing that even while he was in his twenty's his smirk stayed the same.

"Um, what is it?" she asked.

"Well, there's evidence that some of the death eaters are trying to select a new Dark Lord. We want to shut them down before they even get started. That's where you two come in." Hermione looked at Draco.

"Sir, you don't mean me and Malfoy, do you?"

"Of course, you are the two best Aurors on the team."

"What do we have to do?"

"I want you to investigate. Try to track down death eater activities and such."

"Do I have to work with Malfoy, sir?"

"I'll give you a 30% raise in your salary." She took a deep breath.

"Fine."

"When do we start?" Malfoy asked.

"Right now, I want you to go to London, and put up various charms that should detect dark activities."

***

The next thing Draco knew, he was traveling through London with Granger. She'd been in bad mood the whole time. He was leaning on a fence, watching her struggle with the charm.

"Your pronouncing it wrong, you know, I thought I'd never see the day where Hermione Granger would struggle with a charm.

"Well instead of sitting there on your arse, why don't you help me?" She snapped. Malfoy chuckled and walked over to help her.

Once he correctly put up the spell that would secure the area he gave Granger a know-it-all look. She glared at him.

"Ok, where are we headed next?" She asked impatiently.

"It's about ten blocks over, why don't we apparate? It will be faster." She got an uncomfortable look on her face.

" Don't tell me that you haven't learned to apparate yet!"

"Sod off, Malfoy! It's not as if ten blocks will kill you.!"

"No, just give me your hand. I can take the both of us." She gave him a look.

"Come on Granger, It's not like I'm going to kidnap you! She hesitated, and looked at his outstretched hand.

"Alright" she said with a sigh, and took his hand. Draco Felt a jolt when he touched her hand. Something he never felt with Pansy.

"Are we going to stand here all day?" Draco shook his head, and then apparated them to the next point.

End of chapter two. Please Please Please review. I think this one's a little longer then the next. I had to stop here because my mom needs the computer!
