You all love it! I'm so happy I've been getting so many great reviews! Here is chapter six, I know you are all getting impatient about when he will see her but don't worry my readers. It will be soon. LOL I'm evil ;-) I keep getting reviews that ask 'is he going to meet her soon?' and 'when are they going to meet?' I've also got a lot of please write longer chapters. (They make me smile!) Well some of you have read my Crash and Burn Series (Harry Potter) and those chapters are monstrously long. Sometimes chapters need to be short because you don't want everything to happen at once. However as you all have been such great reviewers as my little treat for you is a longer chapter! Sorry they don't meet yet but it'll happen all in due course. Anyway onwards with the story!

J3LLO- thanks for your review, and yeah I know I've been rushing to get everything together. I did notice I was getting a bit sloppy. I'll try better! Hopefully this one is better, it should be longer, and I know I've done the time lapse thing, but nothing interesting happens in the weeks I don't write about. Well on with the story.

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

Chapter 6 Newspaper Clips and Magic Wands

It had been two weeks since Hermione had arrived in London. She was already settling in great. She was unpacked perfectly and all she had to do was clean out some unused junk that she didn't need. Her apartment wasn't huge, but it was comfy. It had a bathroom a kitchen, living room, decent size too, and a spare room. It really was a nice apartment. Everything was fitting in real well since she had moved to London, the way it happened so suddenly was amazing, but then again with her type of job and how much she loved to work, it was to be expected. Who knew where she'd end up next? Maybe Italy she mused.

On her second day in England she had finally gone grocery shopping which turned out to be a gruelling task, Saturday morning grocery shopping, definite no no. She had explored a bit more and decided to find out everything about the town she lived in and then go to London again the next day.

Her job was great and the people were really nice. She had already had gotten on well with her co-workers. Which was a good thing, Hermione was a tad bit shy when meeting knew people. She felt like they were judging her, but she tried to look as relaxed as possible and tried to make a good impression. She had made friends with a girl named Samantha; she was real nice and down to earth. She had a take no shit attitude that Hermione loved and they had become instant friends working on the Listota case together. Along with Samantha came her partner in crime named Josh. He was really nice to her on her first day. He and Sam pulled many pranks on her the first day, most of which she either caught them in the act or took with good humour.

The Listota case was a ruff topic in her office, there were some complications and people just couldn't find a way around they business problem. The clients for the Listota case were very popular and well known; if they solved it they would make a huge break and would probably get a lot of publicity, which was why Hermione had taken a keen interest in it.

"Hey 'Mione!" called Josh. Hermione felt a pang in her chest and felt her stomach drop with that déjà vu feeling again.

"Huh? What?" she asked.

"It's alright id I call you 'Mione? Right?" asked Josh.

"Oh yes of course!" she smiled.

"Do you have those numbers for us yet?" he asked.

"Yep! And I've done the reconfiguring for next week and the number data charts for Tuesday's meeting, also I've wrote up our research report data and came up with a conclusion!" she said gathering the paper around her desk and handing the stack to him.

"You-You've just done a whole weeks worth in two days!" he exclaimed.

"Yes, and with the Listota case I finally found the problem and solved it!" she smiled giving him a bunch of papers.

"Holy crap! 'Mione! You solved it! You did it! Prepare for your photo op Hermione! When we give this data to our clients they'll be so happy! You're going to be in the newspapers (A/N: Please don't ask what job she does, it's made up, to work things out at my convenience!)" he said joyfully. She barely thought as he pulled her into a hug and she hugged him back. She was so relieved she could do something right.

"Hey Josh, hey Herm!" said Sam joyfully entering the office, "what's going on? What are you two so happy about?"

"Read this." he said. She shook her head.

"No too early for reading" Sam moaned.

"Shut it you little bugger and read it!" he said thrusting it at her.

"Fine, fine, the Listota account, yada yada yada, oh my freaking god! Who did this?" she exclaimed happily.

"The one and only 'Mione! She's done everything for this week and she solved the Listota case!" he said proudly. Hermione blushed slightly.

She had just done her work, she knew she was young, very young in this business, well not much younger then Josh, about 2 years and Sam was 4 year older but she was only 20.

"Hermione! That's absolutely fantastic! Since its Friday, how about we go out tonight, the three of us, I know a cute little club! Hermione, all your drinks are on Josh!" she smirked.

"I couldn't possibly, it's alright I'll pay for my own." she said politely.

"Nonsense, I would have offered anyway, if Sam hadn't so rudely done it before me."

"It's a gift!" Sam smiled patting Josh on the head.

Hermione giggled at how close Josh and Sam were. They had grown up together and went to the same school. The both wanted the same job so they both took the required courses and everything together. They were like brother and sister.

"I'm out of here before you girls start rubbing of on me, later Sam, great work Hermione!" he smiled at her before turning at leaving the room.

"Oh my god Hermione!" Sam exclaimed after a few moments of silence.

"What?" asked Hermione.

"Nothing, never mind." said Sam immediately.

"What?" Hermione asked.

"I was um…just still excited about what you did! I'm so proud of you!" smiled Sam walking away before Hermione could say anything.

That day she handed in the Listota case to her boss. Just as Sam and Josh had reacted, her boss had acted a million times better. She was ecstatic and called the clients. Needless to say Hermione's face flushed modesty so many times that day that she thought that it would be stuck that colour forever.

The papers had caught wind of this break through and reporters from the business section came in. They had a field day upon finding out how young she was and that she'd only worked here for two weeks after being transferred to England.

She smiled with her boss and clients for a pose that would appear in the paper. They took a few single shots of her and wrote down the story.

She, Sam, and Josh all left the office later then expected that night. They had been very busy that day. They definitely deserved a night out on the town together, and the rest of sleeping in on Saturday and Sunday. Even Hermione decided not to break too much into her work for next week. She just wanted to relax and maybe clean up her apartment and get rid of some junk inside the boxes she had.

That night she went out to a small club/ bar with Josh and Samantha. They apparently loved clubbing and she now could see why. She of course had gone to bars with her friends in Toronto, but it was just…different here with them. She and Samantha had a blast and Josh even danced with her a couple times. True to his word he bought all her drinks and some of Sam's. Needless to say when Hermione got home she was wiped out and needed rest. She changed quickly and removed her make up. She grabbed her favourite comfy pyjamas, the ones with the 'peanuts' cartoon characters on them and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

Hermione woke up restfully at 11 o'clock in the morning. She sighed happily at the time, she hadn't slept in this late since…forever, and it felt awesome. She knew she would get to laze around today and tomorrow but her persistent and uptight side demanded her to at least clean up some of the boxes on Sunday.

She walked into her kitchen and began to make some tea. She usually had coffee in the mornings but she wanted to laze around today, maybe even go to a movie in the cinema. She ate a breakfast, she had a bagel with lots of cream cheese, and she smirked at the horror on Alyssa's face if she ever found out about this delectable breakfast, she was really into the diet stuff and she deemed all Hermione's most comfortable choices of foods as disgusting, bad for her, or going to go straight to her ass. So Hermione took another bite and began her lazy weekend.

Draco Malfoy sat lounging back in his desk. His head full of what it usually was, Hermione. He shook his head for the 14th time that day.

"She's gone." he told himself sternly.

He thought back to their time together but then stopped himself yet again. He had to give this up. All his friends had serious girlfriends or were married…well not all his friends, but the ones that accounted for anything.

He sat up in his chair and looked over some of the case files he and Potter were reviewing. Weasley was away on a mission somewhere in Asia and wasn't expected to be back for about a week.

He picked up an old daily prophet; his picture was on it claiming over what he had stopped in Toronto. That was glorious, he thought, beating down those 'Voldemort' wannabes. He leafed through the old prophet and tossed it aside. He picked up old muggle newspapers and read through it making sure nothing mysterious had happened on their end. He also loved the business section; he had a few stocks in muggle companies. He didn't put a lot in them but it was handy to have muggle money lying around in case it was needed. He liked muggle clothing a lot better then wizards clothing.

Harry strolled into the office whistling happily.

"Morning Draco." he said plopping down into his seat.

"Morning." Draco said nonchalantly.

They both started on their respective paper work that morning and passed each other notices and files when necessary. After an hour had passed an owl flew in through the window.

"Prophet?" Draco asked still leafing through some papers.

"Yeah. You want to read first?" he asked holding the paper out.

"Thanks mate." Draco said grabbing the prophet. He took a sip of coffee as he casually flipped through it looking at different stories that caught his eye.

Another owl flew in and landed on Draco's desk, it was the muggle newspaper.

"Hey, can I take a look? I like the funnies." said Harry.

"Yeah sure take it." said Draco still buried in a story about the exploding toilets in a sophisticated restaurant. Weasley's, no tact he thought while continuing to look through it.

"Draco!" He heard Harry exclaim.

He looked up immediately ad saw Harry standing up looking at the paper laid out on his desk with shock.

"What?" asked Draco closing the paper and walking briskly over.

"Look. It's…she's…" he stuttered.

Draco turned towards the paper eager to see what the fuss was about. He looked at it and starring back at him was Hermione. She was in the paper under the title 'Listota Lady' .

"Is that?"

"Yeah…read." said Harry pointing to the article.

The business world has had many contenders but none so far will match the will off Miss Hermione Granger. Ms. Granger has just recently transferred to England from Toronto, Canada. She has the potential to…

He didn't read anymore. His Hermione was safe, she was in England.

"I've got to find her! Potter help me find her!" he exclaimed.

"I'm not sure if we can…it doesn't say much about her privately only that she worked with two co-workers named Samantha Jones and Josh Rice on the case." Harry said.

"I'm going to look for her and God help me I'll turn this town inside out if I have to." said Malfoy grabbing his coat (for muggle purposes). He left a very solemn Harry Potter alone in the room. Harry stood up and walked toward the fireplace, he had to floo Ginny about this major break through.

Draco returned to his flat later that night. He had searched all the streets of London for Hermione today. He was worn out and exhausted. He had to find her. She was somewhere in the city or near it anyway…he knew he was going to find her. It was only after Harry and Ginny found him wandering around looking for her exhausted from lack of sleep that they had forced him back to his home to get some sleep. They had persuaded him with the fact that it was too late for Hermione to be out and that Sunday they would look for her after checking in the office. Draco laid his head down on the pillow and tossed and turned before finally finding sleep.

Hermione woke Sunday morning feeling refreshed and relaxed. Yesterday was a nice lay in day but she decided to clean up a bit today. She lazily got out of bed and made herself some breakfast. She was slightly saddened that she had work tomorrow. I was strange how easy it was to grow accustomed to sleeping in. She sighed as she put away her dishes. She took a quick shower and change into some comfy sweats.

She walked towards her storage closet. She looked at the boxes and she picked up the first one she saw. It was fairly heavy so she dragged it out slowly pulling it out. She pulled and slipped back and fell on her bum.

"Wha? Whoa!" she shrieked as she it the floor. She knelt up and rubbed her bum

"Ow…" she said as she moved closer to the box.

She tried to open it but it wouldn't because it was all tapped and stapled up. She moved to grab some scissors and started snipping away at the tape and pulling out the staples.

After what felt like an hour of trying to get the box opened she finally got it to open. She pulled back the cardboard and saw a bunch of newspaper covered shapes. She grabbed the closest one. She pulled off the paper. This was probably just something from high school she smiled after looking at the writing on the box that said High School Junk.

There was a wooden box inside the wrapping so she opened it up. The inside of the box was velvet but there appeared to be nothing in there. She went to feel the velvet when she saw that the velvet was a lid of some sort. She pulled the lid open and inside there was nothing but this weird stick thing.

She reached in and picked it out of the box. She felt a tingling sensation in her fingers. She was about to examine it more carefully when the phone rang. She stood up with the stick in her hand and went to answer the phone.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey Hermione? It's Sam." the person on the phone said.

"Oh, hey Sam. What's up?" I asked.

"Nothing really, I was just wondering if you want to come have lunch with me and Josh?" she said.

"That sounds great, just tell me when and where."

"10 minutes at Henry's Diner." said Sam.

"See you then." Hermione said. They said their goodbyes and they hung up.

Hermione pulled on some jeans and a sweater; she tucked the stick inside her jean pocket to have free hands, brushed through her hair and applied some make up. She grabbed her coat and walked out the door.

She was on her way out of her building when she felt something jabbing her thigh. She looked at her pockets and saw the stick thing. She took a closer look at it; she had no memories of why she even had such an object. She spied a small little open trash can at the side of the door of her building; she tossed the stick in the bin and walked away, oblivious to the red sparks that were being emitted into the trash can.

Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter walked swiftly into the Auror's office so they could check in and state where they were going. Harry hurried over to his desk to look over the papers on it while Draco informed the Head of Auror's where they were going.

Harry took a quick swig of coffee; he would need all his energy today. He and Draco would be prowling through London and its surrounding cities for any trace of Hermione. If they couldn't find her today then all they had to do was show up at the companies mentioned in the newspaper and look for her there. However Draco wanted to find her A.S.A.P so Harry agreed to help look, at least it would give them something to do while they waited until Monday.

Suddenly a loud buzzing sound rang through the office. Harry dropped his coffee and ran over to the scanner. Draco came rushing in upon hearing the sound. They both hurried to the scanner and they saw the faintest trace of magic bleeping on the screen.

"Let's go!" Draco said as they both apparated out of the office and towards the source of the magic.
