Chapter 7: One Quick Glance

Draco turned around and saw Hermione, he had no clue she worked here and now he worked here too, only he wasn't an Arura, he would be collecting raids and being in charge of pay rolls. "Ahh these are three more, Harry Potter, Ron Wesley and Hermione Granger," Said Dentin, the new head of Ministry, Draco nodded his head and walked off, maybe he should quit right on the spot he knew how hard it was for Hermione to see him.

He grabbed his coat and left the room walking past Hermione.

She shut her eyes and wished him to stay but she knew he couldn't she knew she couldn't so instead she carried on with the rest of her day like nothing ever happened.

"You mean to tell me you weren't happy to see him?" Harry asked Hermione at supper.
"Of course I was happy, it's about time I seen him in person then I did in my thoughts, but It hurts so much seeing him in person knowing I can't even talk to him," Hermione explained.
"Hermione, we'll get you two together, and if that means killing his father or putting him away then fine so be it, I promise you that," Ron said. Hermione started to cry and ran to her best friends hugging them.
"Thank you guys so much," She cried.
"Hey anyone who can cook as good as you deserves to have you, and Draco is that person, besides we would like to be able to see our friend again too and not act like strangers," Ron said, reaching over for another chicken piece.

She said good-bye to her friends and shut her door, they helped her clean up and now every thing was done, she took a long bath then went to bed early.

"How long have you worked there?" Came Draco's voice, Hermione turned around, he was there once again.
"About a year now, were training to be Arura's although I think our training is almost complete, what about you why were you there?"
"I got a job there, working as payroll, and collecting raids, I didn't know you worked there, I'll quit if you want me too,"

"No, it's ok, I mean I will never see you anyways, you guys work on the first floor, I work on the third and up, Please don't leave again," Hermione said. She reached out and grabbed his arm. "I want to be with you Draco, when can I be with you,"
"When it's safe," He put his hand on her cheek cupping it. She didn't close her eyes this time, instead she held onto his hand that was cupping her face.

"I want to see you and not in my thoughts but if that's the only way then fine I'll never close my eyes again," Hermione cried, Draco whipped away the tears that were spilling and kissed her, she didn't close her eyes, instead she pushed him away. "If I close my eyes this time please don't disappear," She grabbed his collar and kissed him, this time she closed her eyes and when she opened them he was gone. She started to cry then she woke up.

She gasped and shot up in bed, startled. Tears were still spilling and she whipped them away then she saw something moving in the shadows. She whipped the tears fully away and looked aver.

"Who's there?" She asked. She then clapped her hands and her lights turned on. What she saw shocked her she didn't understand was she back in her dream? "Am I dreaming?" She asked.

"No," said Draco, "I'm here just like you asked me to be,"
