Hermione hardly remembered her return trip to her flat after practice had ended. Her mind was still troubled by the sudden appearance of Draco Malfoy in a life that she had created – and reveled in – for the sole reason of finding herself. How had he found me? She had been so certain that her disguise was fool-proof – especially after Ron hadn't recognized her. How had Draco seen through the mask and not Ron? She had reached her door and was searching for her keys when a familiar, and welcome, voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Bella!" She looked up to see Seth standing a little ways away. She waved him over, and continued to look for her keys. They're in here somewhere… She glanced up again when Seth reached her. He looks a little apprehensive. I wonder what about?

"I can't find my keys." She admitted sheepishly. Immediately, a look of relief spread across Seth's face.

"So use your wand, silly." He teased gently.

She shook her head. "There are mug – normal people around, Seth. It wouldn't be right."

He shook his head in amazement. "There's no one around, Bella. Here, I'll do it." He pulled out his own wand. It was cherry and a good ten inches long.

"What's in it?" She asked, suddenly curious. When Seth looked a little confused, she added, "The wand, Seth."

"It's unicorn tail hair." He replied. After glancing around again to make sure no one was around, he quietly whispered, "Alohamora." Instantly the door unlocked. He smiled at her and opened the door. "See, now that wasn't so bad, was it, Bella?" However, Hermione wasn't listening to him. For inside the door, in her living room, sat Draco Malfoy.
