"Hey, every graduate head on to the Three Broomsticks! Butterbeer is on me!" Harry yelled.
Day: June 15, 2005.
Event: Hogwarts graduation.
Hermione Granger, followed by the other graduates, walked into the large cozy pub.
"I'll go find some tables for everyone." Hermione told Harry.
Harry nodded.
"Susan, Ron, you help me with the drinks," said Harry.
Susan Bones and Ron Weasley, currently a couple, nodded.
"OI! POTTER!" Oliver Wood, 21, yelled.
"Wood? Is that you?" Harry asked.
Oliver grinned and nodded.
"Finally finished Hogwarts. Knew you would mate. Who is going to be the new Seeker on the Quidditch team, though?" Oliver asked.
"Ginny Weasley. When Umbridge kicked me off the team, Gin became Seeker. She's pretty good." Harry answered.
"Ginny Weasley...the girl you saved from the CoS?" Oliver asked.
Harry nodded.
"And current girlfriend," teased Hermione, walking up.
"Come on, Mione, I never teased you and Ron when you two dated in sixth year!" Harry groaned.
"Aw poor little Potter." Hermione giggled.
"And you are--?" Oliver nodded towards Hermione.
"Hermione Granger." She answered.
"Didn't you use that charm on Potter's glasses to repel water in my final year?" Oliver asked.
She nodded.
"OK, Harry, nice to see your talking to a old friend and all, but all of us are kinda thirsty, and Malfoy keeps calling me a Mudblood again, so get his drink so I can put a nice little potion in it," said Hermione.
"What potion?" Harry asked.
"You'll see," said Hermione.
"Nice seeing you again Potter," Oliver said.
Harry nodded and said, "Yeah, you too,"
Harry gave Hermione two bottles of butterbeer.
One for herself and the other for Malfoy.
Hermione poured a yellow potion into Malfoys' drink and handed to him with an icy glare on her face.
He smirked and drank the butterbeer in one gulp.
His hair turned neon green.
Then it got neon yellow polka dots on it.
Next his skin turned neon yellow with neon green polka dots.
Everyone burst out laughing.
Hermione was still strict, but she was quite the prankster, thanks to Fred and George Weasley.
"What?" Draco Malfoy asked, confused.
"Nice hair, Draco," called Michael Corner.
Draco looked very smug.

"Have you got a girl to take to the dance this weekend?" Kent Caraway, chaser for Puddlemere united, asked.
"No, Kent. Stop asking me!" Oliver said, over the laughter in the pub.
"What is everyone laughing at!?" Sara Zombosnki asked, standing on her chair and nearly falling off of it from laughing.
"Hey, Oliver, didn't you use to play Quidditch against that neon kid?" Sara asked through laughter.
Oliver looked over and nodded.
"Yep," he said.
Lara Carter smirked.
"Isn't he a Malfoy?" She asked.
"Yes," answered Oliver.
Lara saw Hermione and then her face became full of excitement and mischief.
"What?" Oliver asked cautiously.
"I happen to know Hermione Granger over there. You said you wanted a girl to impress your friends and family? Go after her. She's naïve enough to believe you would want her. After the dance, dump her." Lara said.
"But I couldn't-" Oliver said.
"Look, we all know any girl wants to be YOUR girl. You have charm that no girl can resist. Pretend you like her, then dump her. I've done it all the time. Trust me, it'll work!" Lara said.
Oliver frowned.
"You said you wanted to be captain of Puddlemere united, right? Well, if you can get this girl to fall in love with you in ten days, then you get my position as captain." Kent sighed.
Oliver gave a cocky grin and nodded.
"But my brother is-" Sara said, but stopped mid-sentence when Lara kicked her under the table.
Kent and Nick Stevens shook their heads disapprovingly, but Oliver failed to notice.

"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!" screeched Hermione.
"What?" Ron asked.
"I was supposed to go out with Aaron tonight! I can make it if I leave right now! I'll see you guys tomorrow!" Hermione said and left.
She met up with Aaron Zombosnki.
"Hey honey," said Aaron, hugging her.
"Hey love," Hermione said, returning the hug.
"Listen, I know we were supposed to go out tonight, but I have to a lot of papers to do. Sorry," said Aaron.
Hermione smiled.
"That's ok. Um....I guess I'll just work on a new article for The Daily Prophet." Hermione said.
Aaron nodded and walked away.
Hermione sighed and Apperated to the Witch Weekly building.

"Has Lavender arrived yet?" Hermione asked, sitting at her desk.
"No. Seamus broke up with her and she's been bawling all morning." Parvati said.
Hermione sighed (she does that a lot) and frowned.
"I'll go to her apartment and get her here." Hermione said.
"Take these makeup samples just to make sure she looks ok," said Parvati.
Hermione nodded and Apperated to Lavender's front door to her apartment.
"Lavender, open up! It's me, Hermione!" Hermione said, knocking on Lavender's door.
Lavender opened the door.
Her eyes were bloodshot, her face tear-stained and she had a handkerchief in her hands.
"Oh, Lavender!" Hermione said, walking in and giving her a hug.
"I-I thought S-Seamus l-l-loved me!" wailed Lavender.
"Oh, honey, his brain is made of dragon crap if he thinks you're to clingy!" Hermione lied.
Lavender was a VERY clingy girlfriend.
"Now you're late for work. I got some makeup to hide all traces of your tears. Wouldn't want to run into Seamus and please him to see what he's done, would you?" Hermione said.
* * * *
"Headmasters and Headmistress's? Hermione, you have to write about makeup, guys and fashion! When you've moved up to the 'write anything you want' then you can write about Headmasters and Headmistress's!" Kim Limari said.
"But, Miss Limari-"
"No buts!" Kim said.
Hermione walked out.
* * * *
"So tell us what you did today, Miss Parkinson." Kim said during the journalist meeting.
"Got up, ate a salad, went to the gym and came to work." Pansy said dumbly.
"And Miss Brown?" Kim looked at Lavender.
"Got dumped," mumbled Lavender.
"Oh, how sad! OK, who would like to write about Lavender's love life?" Kim asked.
Pansy raised her hand eagerly.
"ME!" Pansy said.
Pansy, thought Hermione, can NOT do this.
"No, no, no! Please, no! Miss. Limari, please...." Lavender pleaded.
"I'll do it!" Hermione said.
"You'll what?" Lavender asked.
"I'll write something similar to it. I'll right about how to lose a guy within ten days. I'll even DATE a guy for ten days doing everything a girlfriend should do to get a guy to dump her." Hermione said.
"Brilliant, Miss. Granger! Brilliant!" Kim said.
'Thank you,' mouthed Lavender.
Hermione smiled and nodded.
Kim left the room, followed by Hermione, Parvati and Lavender.
"Ah, Lara! How nice to see you!" Kim said to Lara Carter.
"The feeling is mutual, Kim." Lara said sweetly.
"Lara, meet Hermione Granger. She's writing an article on how to lose a guy in ten days!" Kim said.
Hermione blushed.
"Is she now?" Lara replied.
Hermione nodded.
"How nice," Lara drawled.
"I have to go," said Hermione.
Lavender and Parvati nodded.
"So do we," said Parvati.
Parvati, Lavender and Hermione all walked away.
"Tonight we will go to that new club in Hogsmeade to find the perfect guy." Hermione said.
"What club?" Lavender asked.
"Egyptian Vibe." Hermione answered.
