Hi everyone! I'm so glad that some of you liked the last chapter. I would just like to prewarn you that this chapter is going to have a lot of back and forth. Like, one second it will be about Hermione and the next will have something with Draco. So please stay with me people. And as you know, I don't own anything that has been seen in books.

After a while Draco walked back to his car. This is the first time in a while he had been alone. Everything was really quiet, but the car still held on to the smell of Hermione, fresh fruits. Draco drove home and appareated to his new office building.

"Good Morning. How may I help you?" asked the lady at the front desk.

"Hello. I'm Draco Malfoy and I'm the new reporter. Where do I go?" stated Draco, putting his hands in his pockets.

She smiled and introduced herself to be Lila Plum. She led Draco to an office with big oak doors, a male voice could be heard inside.

"Mr. Thirsten? I have a new applicant, Mr. Draco Malfoy." Lila said through the door.

"Send him in would you." Mr. Thirsten called back.

She opened the door and pushed Draco in softly. The room looked very much like Dumbledore's office, only there weren't pictures of previous headmasters, but pictures of previous top headlines and the people who wrote that story.

"Please Mr. Malfoy have a seat. I have some things to go over with you before we begin." Said Mr. Thirsten.

Draco sat in one of the green plush chairs and suddenly started to feel nervous.

"So Hermione, what's your first event?" asked Rose, laying on the side of her bed. Her short black hair was hanging over the edge.

"I have uneven bars. How about you?" Hermione said back, looking over her schedule.

"I've got, floor exercises. My worst event ever." Rose said, taking a deep breath and blowing it out again.

"Don't worry about it. If you're nervous, just try and imagine yourself alone. Just you and your coach in the gym or you by yourself practicing your heart out. Just think of it as not counting, pretend you're doing this for the fun of it." Said Hermione, looking up from her book.

"Let me guess, your dear Draco told you this stuff?" asked Rose, doing a back flip off of her bed.

"Actually yeah he did. He's my coach too, and it turns out that it really helps. That's how I ended up here." Said Hermione, forgetting about her book because talking about Draco she forgot to call him.

"Ok, Draco is it, we have some rules here at the Daily Prophet. Number one, always be on time. You never know when a great story is out there waiting for you to snoop it out. Number two, never write lies. Your articles must be nothing but the truth. Number three; don't tell anyone about what you're writing until the day it goes out in stores. Are you with me so far son?" said Mr. Thirsten, reading off of a list on his desk.

"Yes, I think I got it." Said Draco, writing all of his words down.

"Good. Now I'll show you to your desk and introduce you to your secretary. Come this way please." He said walking out the door.

Draco walked quickly behind him, looking at all of the biggest news articles on the wall. Each one had a plaque under it. Draco was surprised to see the Weasley's article up there. Finally they stopped at a room with a big door and a nice glass window.

"Mr. Malfoy welcome to your own personal office. Everything that you need is in your desk and on your walls. When you run out of something, don't worry about it, the desks refill themselves. You have windows with curtains and all access to anything you want. And your secretary will see to all of your needs." Said Mr. Thirsten.

When he said this, a girl that looked oddly familiar walked in. She had a nice white blouse and a green skirt. Her hair was tied back in a professional manner and she was holding a notebook and a case of pens and pencils.

"Hello Mr. Malfoy, I'm Pansy Parkinson." She said.

Draco couldn't believe it, didn't she remember him. The only other guy besides one of the Hufflepuff's who would talk to her. Mr. Thirsten walked quietly out of the room. When he left Pansy suddenly looked like her again.

"Hey Draco, long time no see buddy." Said Pansy, giving him a hug.

"What's wrong?" asked Rose as Hermione went searching frantically for Draco's office number.

Then it hit her. She didn't know it yet; he doesn't even know it. She calmed down and began to read her book again. Rose, being who she was loved to talk. Hermione couldn't get mad at her because she didn't have any girls to talk to at the moment.

"So, is he going to marry you or what? I mean, you've known each other since you started school. Even though things were a little shaky at first you fell in love so you should get married right?" chatted Rose, eating a bag of fat free and sugar free cookies.

"I don't know. I know he loves me but I don't know if he loves me enough to get married." Said Hermione, drinking her third bottle of fat free butterbeer.

They were trying not to gain any wait before the first event that afternoon but at the same time pigging out.

"And you want to get married to him right? Of course you do, he's absolutely gorgeous. Have you slept together yet?" asked Rose.

"Of course I want to, but I'm not going to force him to do anything. We've slept together but not in that way. But at home I have my own room and so does he. We only slept in the same bed because we were visiting our parents. Quite nice actually." Said Hermione, blowing a big blue bubble.

Rose squealed. A few moments later another group of girls came knocking on the door.

"Hi, I'm Hermione Granger. Is there something we can help you with?" asked Hermione, letting them in.

"I'm Lisa. And this is my best friend Teeny. We heard you laughing and talking down the hall and we had to come and see what was so much fun." Said Lisa.

"I'm sorry guys. Please come and sit. We were just talking about Hermione's boyfriend Draco." Rose said, looking through a TW magazine.

Both girls looked at Hermione with surprise and they too squealed.

"You've got a boyfriend? What's he like, where we come from we have arranged marriages and can't go out with guys." Said Teeny, taking a spot next to Rose.

"I thought you were going to become something bigger than this. But I'm glad you're my secretary other than some other person." Said Draco, sitting in his big black leather chair.

"It's no big. I'm glad I got this job too. Is there anything that I can get you this morning, you've got to start on your first article." Said Pansy, opening her notebook and taking out a blue pen.

"Yeah, can I have some pumpkin pasties, a warm butterbeer, and the number for Fantasy Hotel. Thanks and after that you can help me come up with some ideas." Said Draco, looking through his desk.

"Right away Draco. And if you need anything else, the blue button on your phone is to my desk right outside." Said Pansy, going out to do her work.

Draco sat back and admired his room. Then he opened up his empty brief case and took out three pictures. One was of his parents; one of him and Hermione at the fall ball and the last one was just a close up of Hermione's bust smiling at him.

Pansy came in with the mug, box of pasties, and the phone number to the hotel. When she was putting the stuff down she saw the picture of Hermione.

"Why do you have two pictures of Granger on your desk?" asked Pansy, suddenly feeling jealous.

"She's my girlfriend. And I love her dearly, thanks for the stuff Pansy. You can have some if you want." Said Draco beginning to dial the number.

Pansy looked at the picture of them smiling happily at the ball and then she walked out and plopped on her chair. Draco waited for someone to pick up.

"Hello, this is the Fantasy Hotel. Joel speaking how may I help you today?" said the voice on the line.

"Hi, May I please have the number to Hermione Granger's room please or can you connect me or something. I'm Draco Malfoy, she's expecting my call." Said Draco.

There was a beep and then he heard a girl's voice.

"Is Hermione there?"

"One second. (Hermione, someone wants to talk with you! I think it's your baby Draco!) She'll be here in a second, she won't stop talking about you." Said the girl.

Draco then heard the sound of a phone getting snatched out of someone's hand and dragged into a secluded room.

"Hi darling. I'm sorry about her, that was Rose my roommate. How's everything?" said Hermione.

"Everything is great. You should see my office, it's huge and Pansy Parkinson is my secretary. But don't worry, all is great." Said Draco; he could just imagine Hermione's face. She looked the same way when she was lecturing him about Jill and their date.

"I trust you. All is good here too, seems as though you've got a lot of admirers. And they're all in my room. They ask the silliest questions, but not to worry love, they're all good answers. My first event is this afternoon or tonight." Said Hermione.

"No sweat. Just remember what I told you and you'll be just fine. Do you have any ideas for the next top headline?" said Draco, getting out a note pad and pen.

"Well I don't but some of the other girls might, hold on for a moment." Said Hermione, leaving the phone to ask her friends.

She came back a moment later with some ideas.

"Well Rose said you should do one on Ron and Jill's wedding, although when she gave me this idea she started twitching. She kind of had a thing for Ron. And Lisa, she wants you to do one on the top 10 most dangerous creatures. I like that idea, but I worry about you so don't do it. Unless you get someone to come with you. Teeny says do one on 30 ways to get rid of annoying relatives. I'm partial to this one and the Ron and Jill idea. How about you love?" said Hermione, playing with her locket.

"I'll ask my boss if I can write two of them. I like both of those ideas too. You're a lifesaver! I've got to get started on it and you need rest. I love you and I'm rooting for you." Said Draco.

"I love you too. And good luck with your articles. I'll be home soon you won't even remember me gone." Said Hermione, smiling.

"Alright sweetie. Bye." Said Draco.

"Bye." Hermione said back and they both hung up the phone.

Hermione crawled out of the closet and put the phone back up.

"So what did lover boy say?" asked Rose, rolling over on her stomach.

"Nothing, that would interest you. He was just telling me how everything was. And he thanks you guys for giving him ideas. Sorry Lisa I'm not letting him do yours but he is doing Teenie's and yours Rose." Said Hermione, plopping down on her bed.

All the girls nodded and waved goodbye. They too had to get some rest before the first event. (That'll be in the next chapter peeps....) Hermione took out two eye gel masks warmed them up with her wand and gave one to Rose and put one on herself. They laid back and rested for a while.

A/N: HEY GUYS! ARE YOU SURPRISED ABOUT HIS ASSISTANT? I KIND OF WAS, EVEN THOUGH I WROTE IT. I KNOW THIS CHAPTER DIDN'T REALLY HAVE MUCH MEANING, BUT IT INTRODUCED YOU TO DRACO'S JOB AND HERMIONE'S NEW FRIENDS AND CURRENT EVENTS. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK IN YOUR WONDERFUL REVIEWS.
