Well I'm defiantly happy with the reviews I've been getting! I really I'm trying to figure out everything in the story and the last chapter took a bit out of me and I have to think some things through but I'll be okay.

J3LLO- Thanks for your nice comments I know there hasn't been much yet but I have to set up the plot…I hate stories that just jump into it right away. It will start moving soon, I promise! 

LunaLovegoss- thank you, I'm glad you like it! BTW: you are right on track with the Draco thing, but it's not all what you may think.

Weaselbee- I have to say I love your name! lol, anyway, how did you see it going anyway? Just a little insight. It may play out just like you were thinking…or maybe not.

Disclaimer: I own none of the characters; everything is J.K Rowling's. I'm just messing with them.

Chapter 3 Leaving

Hermione caught a cab on her way to work. The time read 7:30. She beat most of the traffic as the cab let her our by 7:40. She walked calmly into her office building. She gripped her bag a bit tighter as she walked past some of the executives from other companies. She recognized them from Ternes and Hoble advertising; the competition. She walked up towards the desk on the lobby.

"Hello Hermione…are you looking for Alyssa?" asked Reese the lobby secretary.

"Yes I am, and I've got your coffee!" Hermione smiled handing the women her coffee.

"Thanks Hermione, how did you know I didn't have time to get mine this morning?"

"You called me, remember? You were half asleep." Hermione smiled.

"Hermione! Hey how's everything?" called a voice. Hermione turned and it was Alyssa.

"Great. Well here's the files that you needed by next Wednesday." Hermione said giving her some files.

"Wow, someone needs a hobby." Alyssa joked.

Just then a bushy haired girl hurried into the building.

"Morning Lindsay." Alyssa called waving the girl over.

"Hey Alyssa, Hermione how do you get here so early? And how in heavens name do you manage your hair?" Lindsay laughed while pulling a bit at her curls.

"Well, its called 6 o'clock and its murder don't do it. And with the hair thing, I straighten mine out, and it somehow gets slightly thinner, and a bit more manageable. I keep it up through after wards, with quite a bit of hairspray." Hermione said smiling.

"Well let's get to that meeting shall we?" Alyssa said as the three girls headed for the elevator.

The meeting went by pretty nicely. They discussed the competition and all their clients. Hermione started to slowly drift off to sleep but was nudged by Alyssa to wake up sometime later.

"Wake up, the meetings practically over sleepyhead." Alyssa whispered under her breath.

Hermione smiled graciously at her.

"Now I need someone here who would be willing to work in our offices over there. I know it is far away but you will be returning once a month for 3 days to fill us in and then go back. Any takers?" her boss finished.

The room was still, everyone was considering all their options. Hermione went to ask exactly where this was to be taking place, because she missed it. She raised her hand to ask.

"Miss Granger, thank you for volunteering. Then it's settled Hermione will work at our offices in Liverpool, England." her boss said happily.

Alyssa looked at her with a questioning look as Hermione tried to correct her boss.

"No, I just wanted to…" she began.

"You will also get a pay raise, and comfortable living conditions and a car from our company. Thank you, now I must go. I'll have Marty leave the information and tickets on your desk Hermione." she said as she sauntered out of the room.

"Hermione!" Alyssa practically yelled, "What are you going to do? You can't leave!"

"Well, I have no family here, and I mean I'll miss you guys but I could use a pay raise and a car would be nice, and an apartment already paid for." said Hermione considering.

"Well…what now?"

"I guess I'm going to England."

He stood in Hogsmeade chasing after her.

"Hermione listen to me! Get back here!"

She looked at him with sad eyes and disapparated right there on the spot. He followed her apparation stream and it lead to Diagon Alley. She was no where to be found, he felt her stream again and followed it around to several different places. Then he appeared inside some sort of market place and her trail stopped. He chased around trying to find fragments that would surely disappear a minute after someone disapparated. It took him awhile when he felt the faintest stream and decided to try it and he found himself in her parents old flat. The stream wasn't there so he ran to her bedroom, not noticing that it was empty, the door was closed and he flung it open just as she disappeared again. He ran towards her.

"Hermione come back!"

He followed the stream again and found himself inside a forest. There was no stream to be found so he took off trying to find her in the dark of the night.

Draco Malfoy woke with a start and sat up rubbing his eyes. He had been in the city for 3 days so far and had slowly worked his way to finding the owner of the club. The clock read 5:30 p.m., he had to get ready, and he'd have supper around seven and get to the club by nine.

That night he had caught the culprit and reprehended him. It wasn't too hard. The club had been handed over to some investor there who, thanks to a little magic, believed the club was his to begin with. Draco arrived back in his hotel room to pack up that morning at 4:00 a.m. exhausted. He walked out onto the patio that came with his hotel suite. He starred out at the sun coming up. He sighed sadly. Another day past, another culprit caught. No matter how many evil people he caught it seemed he would never get closer to finding Hermione. He walked back into his room to pack. That night he would be leaving to go back home, alone, the way it was meant to be.

Hermione awoke from yet another dream by the sound of her alarm clock. It was four in the morning; she had to leave for her flight in an hour. She got out of bed and washed her hair. She pulled it back into a ponytail and dressed in semi-comfy clothes and grabbed her bags. All her big things had already been shipped to her new apartment and would arrive a little after she did. She grabbed her luggage and left her key on the counter. She took one last look around and had a déjà vu. Like she had done this before, but she never had. Not a time she could remember. So she closed the door and went to meet the cab she had called for.

Authors Note: I hope you like this chapter. It sets up the plot…I know you are all wondering when they will run into each other. Hmmm…you never know. (Evil Laugh) Anyway, I hope you liked this one. Please review! 
