Your Night-8

By: Silver Ice

"Excuse me Mr. Deseo, I just wanted to check if you had anything new for me to do now that I'm back." Hermione said entering her boss's office.

"Ah, Hermione! How was your time off? It's good to see you again," Mr. Deseo said, looking up from his papers to offer a friendly smile.

"It's good to see you too. The break was wonderful, I really feel better now. The most wonderful thing happened," Hermione said, smiling brightly as she thought of Ron.

"What's that?" Mr. Deseo asked.

"Well, remember that man I told you I was with, Ron Weasley?" Hermione asked. When Mr. Deseo nodded yes she continued, "You see, we're engaged!"

At this Mr. Deseo stood up and hugged Hermione. "Congratulations!"

"Thank you," Hermione said with a smile.

"Okay, now, back to business. There have been a series of reports that a group of hostile Death Eaters are plotting an attack. They're rumored to be in Germany, but we've found them to be located in Reims, France. We haven't got information on exactly what they're plotting, and that's why we need someone to go there." Mr. Deseo explained.

Hermione stayed silent before saying, "So you want me to go to Reims and find out what the Death Eaters are plotting?"

"That's right," Mr. Deseo said.

"When do I go and where do I look?" Hermione questioned.

"I knew you'd do it Hermione! You're the only one who can," Mr. Deseo said with a relieved smile, he then continued to speak, "I think it's best for you to leave early in the morning if that's convenient. You'll be searching for a pub called La Flamme Ardente. They have secret meetings there. Find out what they're doing without getting caught or causing a disturbance."

Hermione nodded in understanding. "All right, I'll try to go by the morning."

"Good. Thank you. Congratulations again on your engagement." Mr. Deseo said as Hermione left the room. As she reached her office she began to sort through the papers on her desk. She was glad she was only going to France. Reims was relatively close, and her mission was rather easy. Easier than her last job anyway, researching homicidal Banshees in Bratislava had not been fun. Hermione spent the rest of her day planning a way to obtain information from the Death Eaters.

She only stopped working during lunch time. Instead of eating she apperated to the Chudley Cannons training field to find the team hard at work. She watched contently until Ron noticed her and flew down to land beside her.

"Hermione! What are you doing here?" Ron asked as he gave Hermione a quick kiss.

"I came to check up on you and tell you that I have to leave in the morning," Hermione explained.

"Where to?" Ron asked.

"Ron, you know I can't say!" Hermione said.

"Right. How long will you be gone?" Ron questioned instead.

"I'm not sure. Hopefully I can be back in a day. You know how it is, depends on the situation," Hermione replied with a sigh. She really didn't feel like leaving Ron for hostile Death Eaters.

"Hopefully you'll be back within a day. Don't forget, you do have a wedding to plan," Ron said.

Hermione smiled before her watch began to beep loudly. "Oh no, breaks almost over, I have to go, see you at home!" Hermione quickly exclaimed as she returned to her office. (you know apperated, got in through like the phone booth thing ect ect)

After work Hermione apperated to Harry's house and knocked at the door. Harry opened it seconds later and rushed her into his house.

"Hello Hermione! How's the wife-to-be?" Harry asked as he led Hermione away from Mrs. Black's portrait.

"Wonderful!" Hermione exclaimed, "How's the new job going?"

"Good, good. Would you like something to eat?" Harry offered.

"No no," Hermione replied, "I just came by because I was wondering if I could borrow your invisibility cloak for work."

Harry looked hesitant for a moment before sighing, "Sure. I'll go get it."

Hermione waited for Harry to return and smiled when he handed her the invisibility cloak, "Thank you Harry, I'll have it back to you as soon as possible."

"No problem. Now, what are you doing leaving Ron at home alone?" Harry asked jokingly.

"Ha ha ha Harry. I'll see you later," Hermione said giving him a quick hug before leaving.

It was nearly 7:30 when she finally returned home. Ron had been home for almost two hours already and when Hermione wandered through the rooms looking for him she found he was in the kitchen. On the table he'd prepared a meal for them.

"Oh Ron! This is wonderful!" Hermione exclaimed. Her stomach was growling loudly at the sight of the still steaming spaghetti.

"Well, you might as well have a farewell dinner," Ron said, pulling out a chair for Hermione. She sat down gratefully and waited for Ron to sit before quickly beginning to eat. "Hungry?" Ron asked.

Hermione nodded and continued to eat. Ron laughed before eating his fill of spaghetti as well.

"Bonjour. Veuillez être La Flamme Ardente?" Hermione asked a salesclerk after searching for nearly 10 minutes through Reims for La Flamme Ardente.

"Bonjour, La Flamme Ardente est deux sud de blocs d'ici." The salesclerk answered.

"Merci beaucoup." Hermione said with a frown as she quickly flipped through her translation book.

"Hello--The Fiery Flame--is--two south blocks--of here." Hermione said as she finally translated the answer the salesclerk had given her. She walked briskly two blocks south before stopping to stand in front of the red sign that read La Flamme Ardente. She sighed nervously as she walked into the dimly lit pub and took a seat at the bar.

"Que peux-je vous obtenir?" The bartender asked Hermione, who sighed in frustration and began to flip through her translation book. The bartender chuckled before he changed his question and asked, "What can I for you get?"

Hermione smiled and answered, "Water." The bartender nodded and slid her a bottle of water before heading to the other side of the bar as a new customer took a seat.

Hermione took a sip of her water before letting out another sigh. She looked around the room to see if anyone looked conspicuous. Finding no one, Hermione sat for a while longer before sliding off her chair and creeping towards the back of the pub. There was a barley noticeable door there that Hermione silently opened. She crept into the room and closed the door just as silently. Hermione waited nearly two minutes to make sure no one had followed her before she looked around herself.

The room was dark but Hermione could clearly see tables, chairs, and a desk filled the small room that smelled strongly of alcohol. Hermione quickly rummaged through the desk drawers trying to find anything useful. She found nothing and sat in a chair to think.

Suddenly, Hermione felt as though someone was looking at her. She turned slowly in her seat and gasped to find herself face to face with a man pointing his wand at her.

"Now what's a girl like you doing going through this desk?" The man asked.

"I was just curious," Hermione mumbled in horror, "I'll be going now." She said as she stood and headed for the door.

"Not so fast. You're not French and you're not a Muggle. I'll give you one chance to tell me, why are you here?" The man demanded, moving to block the door.

"I'm here because I was vacationing with my fiancé and we've gotten into a dreadful fight and I needed someplace to hideout from him. I came to this pub and door looked awfully interesting." Hermione quickly explained, her voice never faltering.

"So why were you looking through the drawers?" The man demanded, still holding up his wand threateningly.

"I was just curious," Hermione repeated, "I didn't mean to disturb you, I thought this was just an unused section of the restaurant." Hermione explained, silently praying she would be able to go without a scene.

The man was in deep thought for a while, but Hermione saw that he would let her go when he slowly lowered his wand. "All right. I believe you, but I want you gone and I never ever want to see you back here again. I warn you, if you are caught snooping here one more time, you'll never see your fiancé again."

Hermione gulped. "Thank you for your mercy sir. I apologize again for my rudeness." Hermione said as she quickly made her way out of the room and the pub. She continued to walk for nearly a block before leaning against a wall and letting out a relieved breath.

"Oh that was too close," Hermione muttered to herself. The Death Eaters were being more cautious than Hermione had imagined. Learning what they were planning wasn't going to be so easy.

A/N: -gasp- Not all fluff! -everyone passes out- I know, I know--who knew it was possible?! Sorry it's a little shorter than other chapters. I really had to stop here because I'm having trouble deciding exactly what I'm going to do next. So here is chapter 8 and I hope you guys enjoy, and review! : ) (By the way, the man in the room was a Death Eater.)
