Where I left you last time:

"Well, what were you going to say?" inquired Draco.

"How about lunch tommorow? At the Bella Donna cafe, noon, I don't work tomorrow so..." said Hermione, suddenly becoming very interested in the glint of the light on her shoes.

"Nope," said Draco fastly. Hermione felt rejected."Instead, I have a better idea. Why don't you come with me, have lunch at the Three Broomsticks, tomorrow, noon. I'll come pick you up, and we can walk there together."

"Um," Hermione started. It was clear she was having an internal battle about what to do. "Sure, whatever. So pick me up at noon?"

"Yeah, um, bye," Draco said, officially putting and end to that night's events.

Chapter four :

Hermione watched Draco walk down the hall until he reached the elevator. He pressed the button, turned around and leaned against the wall. He looked at Hermione and smirked. Hermione shook her head puting a smile on, and turned back to go into her appartement. Before she could do that, Draco said something that shocked her.

"Wait!"

"Yeah, Draco?"

"Goodnight Hermione," her said wihle going into the elevator.

"Goodnight to you too, Draco," and with that, she went into her appartement with the biggest smile of her life.

'Oh no,' she said to herself.'I can't be... not again. The first time I knew it was a mistake, but, again. . . '
Her smiled had worn off by the end of the conversation with herself. She turned all the lights off before going into her bedroom to sleep.

When she walked in, she went into her ward rode, put on her pyjamas and went into her bed. She looked at the ceiling for awhile before saying,

"Goodnight, Draco."

The next morning Hermione woke up late. She ran down the stairs and into the ktichen to see Elis was already eating his morning toast while reading a book. She laughed.

"What mum?" he asked innocently.

"Nothing hun, nothing. Now eat your toast or you'll be late for school. Hurry now," she said with a chuckle.

Elis finished eating his toast quickly, looked at his watched and closed his book. He then put it in his bag and ran out the door saying "bye mum, I love you."

"Me too!!" she screamed, not sure if he heard her. She shrugged. She put a toast in her toaster and then called her peronal wardrobe stylist and told her to come over. When the toast popped out, she jumped a bit, then shook her head and ate it quickly. She downed a glass of milk then ran to answer the door.

'Damn, that girl is fast' she thought.

"Hey you," said Melissa, her stylist.

"Hey girl. Weren't you a bit fast?" asked Hermione.

"Hun, you forget I live one floor below you," said Melissa shaking her head mockingly."Come one now, get dressed and come to my room."

Hermione made her way tp her bedroom and was about to open her door when Melissa called her name.

"Hermione! What occasion again?" she asked.

"Lunch with old friends I havent seen sine 8 years," she said grinning.

"Ok girl, now hurry up eh?" said her stylist closing the door to her appartement.

10 minute later she was on a small wooden stoll and Melissa was taking her mesurements.

"What've you done with the old ones, you know, the ones you took a month ago," said Hermione with a raised eyebrow.

"Umm, lost them, sorry," said Melissa with a guilty look on her face.

"Damn girl, you've got to get more organized. Come on, hurry up now," she said, laughing.

20 more minutes later she was ni the bathroom trying on an outfit melissa had given her.she put the last accessory an looked herself in the mirror. She had on beige jeans that were low on hers hips and a red camisole with a lack line crossing it diagonally.She had put on a silver necklace that was elegent yet very simple. She had earings like people wore in the early 70's, just big rings.

She decided that outfit would do and came out of the bathroom to come faca to face with a smiling Melissa.

"You look beautiful dear. Turn around," she said. Hermione did as she was told and Melissa admired her work. "Now, for hair and make-up." She snapped her fingers and two people came into her room. One was a man, the other a woman.

"Hermione, meet Charles, your hair artist, and Summer, your make-up artist. Now let's go. Chip chop. Hurry up you two, she doesnt have all day ya know," said Melissa shaking her head and getting to work on her nails. Half an hour later, she looked up and Hermione had finished.

Melissa looked at her face and smiled again admiring her two partners' work. Hermione had a light blush foundation and some lip gloss that was bright pink, but not too bright. On her eyes, for her bottom eyelid they put blue eyeliner, and they put a thin line on her top eyelid and at the far corner of her eye, they had mixed the blue with a bit of draker blue, and white. It was very well done.

"Well darling, don't you look good," said Melissa.

"Thanks girl, but I hate to run, or I'll be late. See ya babe," said Hermone, hugging Melissa, thanking Charles and Summer, the running out of the door, into the elevator, out of the elevator and in front of her appartement door. On the bench a bit to the side, Draco was already sitting there waiting for her. He didn't hear her until she made a slight coughing noise. Apparently he was pretty absorbed in his magazine.

"Wow, you look pretty good. If it were up to me, you did this all for me," he said with a chuckle eyeing Hermone up and down.

Hermione laughing nervously and started speaking.

"So, are we going or not?" she asked.

"Yes mademoiselle. Come along now," he said, bowing to her. She looked at him and threw her head back and laughed. He looked at her confused.

"Why're you laughin all of a sudden," he asked her.

"You have a deep accent when you speak in french. And you know what?"

"What?" he asked, now very curious as to what she was gonna say.

"It's pretty sexy," she said, gave him a wink and walked down the hallway to the elevator. He stood there gaping at her like she had told her she was the Dark Lord's re-incarnation.

"Well," she said as the door opened."Are you coming or not, ferret?"

He smiled at the name."Yes, of course, know-it-all," he replied, walking over to the elevator. He went in, and pushed the button, they were off.

Once outside, Draco looked around for a couple seconds, then offered his arm to Hermione, who took it gladly. They walked for about 15 minute before ending up in a small alley.Draco took out his wand and tapped several brick in a precise order. Hermione watched him in a daze. When he was done, the bricks unfolded themselves and they moves to the side openiing up to let them go in.

"Hermione Granger, welcome back to the wizarding world," said Draco with a wave of his arm. They stood there for a couple minute until they heard, "are you gonna hurry up or I'll have to hex ya so you can move outta da way?"

They turned around and moved to the side letting an angry, short, brown haired witch who seemed to be old enough. Hermione looked at Draco and they laughed. Hermione stopped immediately when she heard Draco laugh. He too stopped, recollected himself and said, "well, lets go milady," bowing to her once again. Hermione gigled and they walked off.

Just a couple of minute later they were entering Flourish and botts. Hermione had convinced Draco to go in and buy her a book. He eventually gave in and they walked to the shop. When they entered, the librairain looked up fm her book and squinted to see who entered her store. When she saw the two young people, she smiled thinking they were a couple, shook her head and went back to her book.

But then, something clicked. That girl looked a lot like Hermione Granger, an old student at Hogwarts that used to a lot. She looked at the boy, he was Draco Malfoy. 'Wait a second,' she thought.'That IS Hermione Granger.'

"Hermione Granger? Is that you young lady?" she asked Hermione.

Hermione turned around at the mention of her name, looked at the librairian and smiled. "Yes it's me, I'm back," she said, and blushed."Wait a second...Madam Pince?!? You own the store now? But who's at Hogwarts??" Hermione aked, surprised she was facing her old librairian.

"Oh, I own this store since 5 years now, and my younger cousin is at Hogwarts now," she said with a smile plastered on her face. 'Ding' "Oh! Well, It's been quie a pleasure to see you again Miss Granger, hope to meet again with you soon," she said as she made her way towards the back of the store. A young man came and looked at Hermione.

"Can I help you Miss?" he asked Hermione.

"No, I'll just be looking around thanks," she replied, going into thw rows of books.15 minute later, theycame out of the book store, Hermione with a bag which contained 3 books.

"Lunch now? I'm hungry," said Draco eyeing a Hamburger sign down the street.

"A hamburger? Since when does the brommsticks make Hamburgers? Since when does it even make muggle food?"asked Hermione quite surprised to see this.

"A lot of things have changed Hermione. A lot." Hermione shrugged and walked off to the Broomsticks. Draco trailed not far behind. When Hermione entered the Three Broomsticks, a familiar odor came to her. She looked around and smiled. Then, she heard laughter coming from one of the tables. Looking at it, she froze from fear.
