After Hermione got over what happened in the morning, she went and got ready for her interviews. She had one at Chapters across the street, one at Second Cup around the block, and one at the local Library a few blocks away. She was excited and nervous, but had researched her "previous positions" and felt she was ready enough. So she got her stuff ready and left. Just as she was in the lift and the door was about to close a hand shot out and the door reopened. It was Malfoy…and he looked…different. He was wearing a grey silk dress shirt and black dress pants that fit his figure very well. His hair looked feathery and clean, yet it was slicked back like usual. Although he looked different his cold glare remained the same. Yet Hermione couldn't help feel butterflies in her stomach every time she looked his way. She passed it off as being nervous for the interviews, but it was obvious they were far from her mind when he was that close to her.

"Don't try anything funny while I'm away you foul bitch." Malfoy spat.

"I wouldn't dream of it." Hermione replied with the same tone. It kind of hurt. What he said. She couldn't figure out why. It never effected her before. He was all serious when he said it too. There was no playful gleam in his eyes like before. Maybe she really actually pissed him off…Good! She couldn't believe that for a second she actually cared what Malfoy said to her. Ha! Stupid git! They got to the ground floor and with one last vicious look they were off in separate directions.

Hermione headed off the Chapters for her first interview. She hoped she would be able to get a job here because they pay more then the other two positions and it's right across the street.

"Hello…you must be Hermione. My what an odd name. I'm Richard, please do sit down." A tall, lean man said as he walked into the little office the lady at the front directed her to.

"So tell me Hermione when will you be able to start?" Richard asked.

"As soon as you would want me to." she replied.

"Just like that? Full time?" he asked surprised.

"Yes. Just like that and for full time."

"Are you a good worker? Get along well with others and all that other crap?" he asked looking at his watch impatiently.

"Err…yes...I am. I'm very social indeed and get along well with others." Hermione replied uneasily.

"Great! You're hired! Welcome to Chapters! You can start bright and early tomorrow and in the morning I will have one of the girls show you around!" He said with relief.

"I'm sorry sir…but this all seems a bit rushed and the interview we had was very improper." She said confused. She spent all last night studying for the interview and reading up on what it was, what was asked, and this was nothing like a proper interview.

"Yes well…we are short staffed I'm sorry to say, and you seem decent enough. I am also in a rush. My wife is divorcing me and I have to be in court in less then an hour. So now you see why I had to wrap it up. Now come on, we'll go tell everyone the good news!" He rushed her out of the office and told a few girls that were out in the hall that Hermione will be starting work early tomorrow and to show her around. They all agreed and the secretary went and got the proper sheets to fill out and sign. By the next 35 minutes Hermione was a new Chapters employee. She was ecstatic! Still very confused, but ecstatic!

Hermione returned home in the afternoon and made herself a light lunch. She was sitting on the couch and watching Jerry Springer when Malfoy happily strode into the house whistling.

"Why are you so happy?" Hermione asked. It was weird seeing him like that.

"You are looking at the newest employee of 'Midnight Delight'." He answered.

"What in the bloody hell is that? Sounds like a strip club!" Hermione said as Malfoy just grinned sheepishly on.

"Oh my fucking God! Is it a strip club?"

"You could say that, yes." He replied.

"You're working at a strip club?"

"Yes."

"With females?"

"Yes"

"Are you sure they are females?"

"Fuck. Yes Hermione."

"Positive? Cause you know some males might look all pretty but they really turn out to be me---"

"HERMIONE! YES! NOW PISS OFF! You're ruining my happy mood." Malfoy cut in.

"Are you going to be stripping?" She asked. The devilish grin on her face now. She was stunned just as much as he was now. She had no idea what made her ask it.

"No…I am not…But I can offer you a free performance now.." And with that Malfoy jumped onto the coffee table in front of Hermione and started to hum a porno theme type song. He started to take of his dress shirt and flung it at Hermione who sat there looking shocked but then burst into laughter. He then turned his back to her, stuck out his ass and shaked it. This made Hermione burst out laughing even more. He then got off the table and grabbed Hermione and swung her around as if they were dancing and rubbed his side up against her.

"So big boy," Malfoy said in a high pitched voice, "you want some if this?" as he jiggled the imaginary breasts he didn't have. Hermione was toppling over from laughter now and had tears streaming down her face. What has gotten into Draco? This is not like him at all. She didn't put much thought into it anymore, she was having too much fun to keep thinking about it.

"How much for this lovely ass of yours Candy?" Hermione asked in a man voice as she slapped Malfoy's ass as he was bending over to do some more dance moves. Right when she did it, she realized what she had just done and went silent. Her mouth open in shock. Malfoy whipped around and was now face to face with her. Nose touching nose as he looked silently into her brown eyes.

"Mmmm Granger, I do enjoy a good spanking." He whispered into her soft lips. She was mesmerized. She couldn't move, and her breath was getting faster and faster. His lips hovered on top of hers. Not touching, but still dangerously close. Hermione suddenly felt the urge to kiss him passionately, but made no move. He just stood back, smiled, winked and simply said:
"It's not Candy…it's Summer." And took his dress shirt, flung it over his shoulder, grabbed her bowl of Kraft dinner and headed into his own room. Once again Hermione stood there speechless contemplating what had just happened.
