I came back to visit the Wizarding world.

We went to Harry's.

As soon as Danica saw Lilliana I could tell she was excited. She walked over and grabbed Lilliana's hand and they ran into Lilly's room, laughing.

Ron and Luna were there today as well.

We chatted for a while, and the two couples were smiling and holding hands and laughing and my chest felt tight.

I loves them all as if they were my family, but I admit I was jealous of them.

Harry told me how much Lily missed Danica.

I kept my face hidden somewhat behind my tea cup when I told then that Danica had missed her as well and that I missed them.

But then they asked me about my job.

And I made some kind of an excuse to not talk about it and I changed the subject.

But I was still uncomfortable there.

And Harry seemed to sense that.

So, he told me I could leave Danica there for a while and I could go and have a little fun.

So I did, knowing that Danica wouldn't mind being there with Lily for a while longer and I went to Diagon Alley.

I went into Florish and Blotts and sat down in the Potions section and started reading.

People passed me by and I heard chattering, but I kept reading.

Then I heard someone clear their throat in front of me.

I didn't bother looking up but rolled my shoulders and kept reading.

"Hermione?"

I knew that voice all too well and it made my spine crawl and my shoulder blades started to itch.

I cast a quick glance upward.

You stood there with your hair hanging in front of your eyes.

"Dra...Dra....Draco.." I stuttered, blinking a few times.

Your eyes were wide. "I thought you moved."

I looked back at my book. "I did."

Then I heard I voice I never wanted to hear again in my entire life. "Who are you talking to Dracie?"

I looked up and saw Pansy's smiling face.

She slipped an arm around you waist and I felt bile rising in the back of my throat.

I stood up fast, dropping the book on the floor. "I have to go," I mumbled, pushing past you and running out the door.
