The Breakup

Ch. 1 "'Mione's Life"

We do not own Harry Potter in any way, shape, or form.

Hermione walked down the narrow streets of Ireland, deep in thought. She had come far since Hogwarts. She had been a nurse now for two years and had a steady relationship, a nice house, money, a degree, almost everything she ever wanted. But something kept bothering her; she had been away from her friends and family for so long now. She couldn't go back now that she had commitments. Hermione rather liked it here, but she also ached to go home.

Hermione let her thoughts wonder, "Oh yeah sure, you really like it here. You never see your friends, family, all you have here is a nice house, a job, and him ... Oh sure, he's nice, but hasn't your relationship been going a little downhill lately?" Hermione tried to tell her subconscious to be quiet when she came to the front of St. Mungo's Irish Branch. She walked in, and took the elevator that was on the right side of the front desk; there was a crowd of people to exit the very top floor.

I should've taken the stairs... Hermione thought, as a wizard walked into the elevator wearing a pink Afro, nose ring, and purple and green checkered robes. He looked as if he belonged in the Muggle world. Slowly she watched each person climb out, one by one, until she and the weird looking wizard were left.

As they reached the top floor, the wizard turned to her and asked, "Do you know a Nurse Granger by any chance?"

Hermione looked at him for a minute, and then said, "You've found her. Can I help you with anything?"

The wizard just turned and smiled. As he walked out of the elevator, Hermione stared at him. He was reporting to the front desk. He's probably lost or something... she decided. Then turned she to the left and went into her office.

Hermione's office was small, but very neat. It was only her and her co-worker, Amelia, a very cheerful lady. Amelia was only a year older than herself. Hermione sighed as she saw another huge pile of papers on her desk. Amelia looked up at her, smiled, then said, "Well, its about time you got here," she said in her Irish accent, "We have work to do, and besides, I've been dying to tell you, we're getting a secretary!" She said the last few words in a singsong voice.

Hermione stood in amazement, but also in confusion. "So the big guys downstairs decided we needed some help up here, huh?" Amelia nodded very happily. Then for a minute, Hermione thought of the wizard that was looking for her. "You wouldn't happen to have met this person yet, would you?"

Amelia looked at her then smiled, and said, "Why no, I don't believe I have, and you know me, I know everybody." Hermione laughed then nodded. She sat down and started to get busy on the paperwork, and let her thoughts roam once again as she was writing.

Paperwork, definition: boring, dull, boring, tiring, boring... do I need to explain any further? Amelia is such a great person, she always makes me laugh... Who is our new secretary, anyway? Could it really be.... Nah...

Amelia was talking to someone when she came out of her 'trance'. Hermione looked up and saw, the wizard from the elevator. Her jaw dropped for a moment, then she quickly regained her composure. Amelia said, "Hermione, this is our new secretary, Mr. Benji Orwen Bokawits. Mr. Bokawits, this is Hermione."

Hermione looked at him a second then realized she had to say something. "Oh hello! I suppose we met earlier. Well, welcome upstairs!"

"Please! Call me Bob. It's short for my full name." The wizard said.

There was a long silence and finally, Bob said brightly, "So! I'm your new secretary. What do you guys do up here anyway?"

Amelia said, "Well, we do patient paperwork, then send it downstairs, for the head nurse and such, and when help is needed we...help."

Bob tried to act interested. Hermione laughed and said, "Its okay, this is pretty boring. We don't do much, but we get paid well!" They all laughed, and showed him around.

Hermione opened the curtain as Amelia showed him his desk and told him what he needed to do. "It's a beautiful morning, we get such a great view up here..." Hermione said as she looked at the sun starting to take its place on the horizon.

Amelia smiled and rubbed her hands together, "Well! Lets get started!"

(a/n: hope you enjoyed it! More to come! Oh by the way, there are two of us writing, not just one, two friends. (yay us!) anyway, see the button down there? Push it! Lol.. oh by the way 'Mione' is Hermione's nickname if you didn't know.)
