Chapter 7
"Three up...two across..." Hermione muttered and stood back as the gateway to the shopping world of Diagon alley opened up before her.
She looked around the place she spent her teenage years getting her school resources, books and clothes from. She walked down the alley watching excited children running from shop to shop and looked a group of boy standing at quality quidditch supplies looking at a new broom.
"The fastest there is a new model better than the firebolt 360!" Squealed the boy excitedly to his friends just like Ron and harry had done when they were younger.
There it was the place she had been most excited to go to flourish and blotts. She stepped inside and walked around. She had good times in this shop when Harry and Ron would go to quality quidditch supplies, she remembered reading all the books on quidditch so maybe one day she would understand what they were talking about. She never did.
She walked over to the dark arts section of the shop were she remembered the book signing of Gilderoy Lockheart how he had seen harry and called him to the front so his book signing could make the front page.
That was also the day she had first met Lucius Malfoy. The looks of disgust on his face as if she was a dirty sewer rat and then he had the nerve to mention her parents.
She walked over to her favourite part of the shop, upstairs. The first time her and Draco Malfoy had a full conversation without shouting mudblood or ferret boy at each other.
They talked about life, how he never wanted to be a death eater and never wanted to marry pansy one tear drop fell down her face, it was a lie and she knew it as well as anyone.
"Do you need any help mam" said the shopkeeper behind her.
"No thank you I'm fine" she replied
"Well I be dammed if it isn't Miss Granger I haven't seen you for at least eight year. Where have you been?"
"I've bin hidden" she replied.
"Well Sit down dear we have missed you a lot round here always kept us company during those hot summer days," she finally got a good view of the shopkeepers face. He had once been young and full of life now his face was he now looked aged stretched and wrinkled. She missed so much she hugged the man and tears of grief had fell down her face. "Why are you crying my dear?"
"I've missed so much" she sobbed "I tried to keep away from one person but I thought I should keep away from everyone else. Thank you" she said as he offered her some tea she drank it and carried on "anything I should know about that happened since I left?"
"Not much my dear he who must not be named was slaughtered by Harry potter. Fudge is still minister and Lucius Malfoy was arrested last night for the misuse of dark artifacts"
"Really?!" this came as a massive sock to Hermione as Draco had just gone after her this morning as if nothing happened.
"Yes, he will have a public trial in two day and a public execution if found guilty."
"Oh my god, I'm going to see it."
"Why on earth my dear, those executions are not a sight for a lady such as yourself to see they are quite hideous."
"I'm going to make sure before he dies that last person he sees is me, he destroyed my life and I'll get him back for it!"
"Calm down my dear, I am getting to old to hear shouting I see you have a history the Malfoys."
"I do."
"Oh yes I recall seeing you and master Draco Malfoy sitting here for hours on end talking and laughing. I don't think I had seen a happier pair of teens since the late Lilly and James potter."
Hermione looked at him tears forming in her eyes again "haven't you heard never trust a Malfoy." The old man smiled at her while she looked at her watch "oh my god it already 4:30. Thank you for the talk it was so nice seeing you again"
"And you dear" she gave him one last wave ran out the door and made her way to gringotts bank before she smacked right in to a women with bright red hair.
"Ow!"
"Sorry mam I didn't mean to run into you like that I just needed to get to gringotts before it closes"
"That's alright, just get me up please" Hermione grabbed the woman's hand and helped her to her feet and ran up to the gringotts entrance.
"HEY! ONE MINUTE!"
Hermione turned round. "Hermione?!"
"Ginny?!" Ginny ran up to her and screamed "I have missed you so much" kissing her on the cheek "where the hell have you been you little tart!?"
"I've been living in the muggle world Ginny away from... You know Draco"
"You spent all that time away from us because of that slimy slytherin. Come on tell me everything after you go gringotts. I'll come with you."
They walked up to gringotts talking about the good old times when they were at school and how Ginny and Harry were together, but she broke it up with him because he was too much of a slob. It was the happiest Hermione felt in a long time.
They stepped in to gringotts and were immediately severed by one of the goblin still clever and arrogant as they had always been. She smiled and said, "vault 147 Hermione granger."
"Come right this way Miss Granger and you Weasley you still haven't finished the work that you were set today! Go finish it as I take miss granger to her vault and when I come back I want to see it finished! Has Miss Granger got her key?"
"Of course" she gave him her golden key and he smirked at her giving one last evil look at Ginny who had already started her work and led Hermione to one of the horseless carriages that led under the vast tunnels of gringotts.
They reached her vault and opened it up. There she had the shock of her life. Her vault was over flowing with wizard money.
"Your parents have been adding more and more money for you Miss Granger before they both died."
"T-they died?"
"Didn't you know" smirked the goblin "all their money went here in this vault for you"
Hermione smiled even when she left them with nothing but a note they stilled cared for her. She had missed too much. "How do you know they died?"
"We keep track on all of our clients Miss Granger, even yourself" he said in the same arrogant tone. "Go ahead take some money for god sake I haven't got all day"
Hermione grabbed a hand full of gallons and then sickles and then Knuts and sat back down on the carriage.
They returned after what felt like an hour to the marble main hall of gringotts and they could see Ginny looking at them grinning with hand behind her head and leaning back on her chair "I've finished. I did ten minuets ago"
"Good, now get out of my sight weasley!"
"Goodbye" she said with a cheeky grin and walked away with Hermione.
"I didn't know you would get a job a gringotts!"
"I did and I'm very proud of it too. Bill still works in Egypt still, but I preferred working here in England were all my friends are." she dragged her in to a restaurant "come on this restaurant is well nice it's called the penbridge come in."
"Ok Ginny."
"And you are going to tell me about all this time you have spent away from us." she looked at the waiter with a cheeky glint in her eye saying "table for two please."
The waiter smiled back in the same way "right this way ladies."
"May I get you anything?"
"Yes an archers for me and..."
"Oh just a butterbeer"
"Bye" said Ginny to the waiter in a flirtatious way as he went to get their order "he was so gorgeous!" she whispered to Hermione in an excited way. "But that's not what this is about is it" she looked at Hermione with a weird look In her eye "why did you leave? What did ferret boy do?"
"Well me and Draco were in love "Ginny gapped she didn't know because she was never told she was only told not to talk to Hermione because she betrayed the Gryffindors and her being miss little naïve listened to them. "Well I thought we were at least."
"What happened?"
"His father came to the head common room when he first escaped from azkaban and started shouting at us saying things about pansy-"
"Pansy's dead"
"I know that and he was saying that Draco betrayed the family and lord Voldermort. -Ginny flinched- and how I was a mudblood." she smiled sadly at Ginny. Ginny was a very good listener and carried on, "but Draco being the heartbreaker that he was told his father he wanted nothing to do with me, that I was only there for his enjoyment and that he would never love a mudblood like me. When his father left I ran straight in to my head girl quarters and locked the door so he couldn't get in and he kept banging the door and he finally stopped and walked way."
Ginny smiled at her sadly "did you ever see him again?"
"That's the thing I keep seeing him now I'm back, he now knows were I work. He even kissed me when he was drunk in the alleyway behind the leaky cauldron pub!"
"He didn't!"
"He did! Can you believe the nerve of that man he still thinks that he can come back into my life and pretend that nothing happened!"
"You can come and stay with me if you like leave your muggle house and come live were you belong and I promise that I will take good care of you." she pulled her friend in to a big hug
"Thank you so much."
"Anytime Hermione. "
"Your drinks ladies and my floo call add for the pretty lady in green"
"Thank you" replied Ginny "and what your name can I ask?"
"Of course Blaise zambini"
"Blaise! Oh my gods I went to school with you I was a year younger in griffindor I'm Ginny weasley... I guess you want your add back." She said with a sad smile
"Of course not! We left all the griffindor and slytherin rubbish behind us and I would be glad to see your beautiful face everyday."
Ginny blushed, "thank you" she whispered.
"Here's the menu and what else would you lovely ladies want to have I'll pay, my treat."
"Two lamb steaks with mint sauce. "Replied Ginny.
"Of course" he waved his wand and the food appeared immediately in front of them.
"Enjoy your meal I'll go pay for you."
"Thank you Blaise." called the two women
They finished there meal talking again about the good old times and Ginny gave a good bye kiss to Blaise on the cheek and left.
"So were do you live?"
"Kensington Mandela house Cromwell road"
"Ok here we go"
They packed up all Hermione's stuff and teleported it to Ginny's house "what's left Hermione?"
"The rent I'll leave an note and the money" she left a few 50 pound notes on the table and wrote a note.
"Finished?" asked Ginny
"Yea!"
"Come on then."
Hermione said one last goodbye to her miserable life as Lyra smith and apperated back into the witch Hermione granger.
AN: OK I made the chapter a lot longer than the other ones I hope you like it! SO review me! Come anything advice, comments opinions anything TBC.
AN2: if you got time on yo9ur hands please read my other story Keeper Of Genesis- really ain't your average Hermione/Draco fanfiction.
