AN: I did a word spell check...

(edited chapter 2)

Oliver and Percy were watching random channels on the TV. Percy's stomach grumbled. Oliver snorted and told him to buy some food. Percy shrugged and stood up from his seat and headed out, asking Oliver if he wanted anything he wasn't suppose to eat, he merely shrugged and went back watching the soccer on the telly.

Percy went out and walked down the hall then back up to the information desk. He asked the lady where they café was and she told him to take the lift down the hall pointing to where Dr Granger had gone down. He said his thanks and left for it. Rummaging on his pocket, he found 20 pounds. He had gotten it earlier when he found out that Oliver was in a muggle hospital and he thought it be best to bring muggle money just in case after all he wasn't appointed Head Boy in his time for nothing. He pressed the down button and looked at the blue lighted button while he waited for a few minutes for the lift to come to his floor. As the doors swung open, he caught a glimpse of the same pretty curly haired young doctor. He smiled and hoped it was her. The door opened fully to reveal a perplexed doctor on the corner being towered by nurses and random muggles in the lift. He stepped in and pressed 3 as instructed by the information desk.

"He saw me...shit"

Hermione Stood at the corner trying to become as short as possible, at least he was looking at the door with his back on her. In her mind he looks so much like Ron. She can't believe he finally broke free from the head boy mold he was in she last had a good talk with him. He grew his hair longer, wore casual clothes and seemed to be loose in a sense that he looks like he is living life for once. She inwardly smiled as she looked at the back of his head. Hermione then caught a glimpse of a smiling face though the reflection of the doors.

Reflection. ...smiling face...Ron...no..Percy...oh...crap

The doors had mirrors. She gasped as he was looking right at her smiling. She blushed then looked down on the floor, paying attention to the phone she had in her hand. The doors for the 4 floor opened and the whole lot of them exited.

"Bugger" she thought, it was only her and him now. He stood on the other corner looking around the lift smiling at something. The door opened for the 3rd floor and they both walked out. She headed for the café and he stood there looking at the sign for directions.

Percy then thought to himself while scowling. "Did she say left or right, or straight ahead, oh bugger...Dr Granger!"

Hermione flinched at the voice. Crap. His voice was almost as deep as Ron. She stopped on her tracks and spun on her heels looking at him and said. "Yes?" she said as her voice faltered.

"Do you possibly know where the café is?" he asked looking at her.

"Its way, I'm heading towards it" She said pointing at the direction. Oh Hermione felt like she was10 years old again, one that had a stupid school girl crush on some boy from class.

"Oh" he said as he walked towards her while smiling.

-

Little did Percy know that inside Hermione head was a full out war between her logic and her emotion and lastly her reckless side.

"Come on go!"

"Shut up reckless, don't"

"Lighten up Logic, I agree with Reckless…go for what you feel"

Well that didn't help her at all; she smiled at Percy who was walking towards her now. She noted that it his style suits him, and the rimless glasses helps make him seem younger and rejuvenated, unlike those thick rimmed ones he had when he was at Hogwarts.

Why am I checking him out!

GOOD Hermione now ask him out!

You're only checking him out cuz of Ron...

You are one annoying piece of mind you know that, Logic?

Shut it you three, pretty eyes...gah now disperse I want to eat lunch with out blushing

You are going to blush anyway my dear. Adieu

Hermione felt the warmth coming from her cheeks. She quickly tried to shrug it off, but couldn't help but glance at him once in a while. They walked down the hall silently.

Oh what the heck.

"Mr. Weasley would you like to join me for lunch? My friend has seemed to have abandoned me for a patient"

He smiled at her and said yes.

-

Percy was glad he had bumped into her in the lift, but was more conscious at the fact that she caught him looking at her or was it more like because he had caught her staring at the back of his head, either way he was embarrassed. When she had asked him if he would like to have lunch with her he was surprised. Boy, he sure did think she grew into a very pretty woman. But there's something about her expression that made his think that made her look like she isn't content with life at all.

To be honest, he knew why she left the wizarding world, but never said that he had over heard her, Ginny and Harry talking almost 6 years ago. He knew she and Ron were in love and when he died, she had gone a war path that killed 10 death eaters at once. He didn't hear the rest quite well due to the fact that the twins were celebrating out side by setting fireworks up that stayed on well through the next night.

-flashback-

Percy Weasley had just gotten up from his nap, after he willingly took the twins new product of "Nap and dream gum", when he had heard and argument just down the hall from his old room. He leant in to listen to the conversation.

"Hermione, don't do this please..."

"Gin after the Azkaban project, I'll stick around for the baby to be born then I can't stay here anymore. Too much Gin."

"Hermione, this is who you are, this is who I met 6 years ago."

"I know that Harry, but, I just can't anymore"

"Why?" asked two people he distinguished as Ginny and Harry.

"I just can't, after loosing Ron, then my parents slipping away...I cant, my duty is with my parents now. I have done what I think was suppose to be done for this world"

"Herm, please. I can't stop you, I never could. Hell neither could Ron..."

"Mione, all we ask of you is that, you will not cut us out. I know it must hurt right now, but Ron will want you to live your life...don't cut your ties with us"

"Harry, Ginny, I promise I wont cut ties with both of you, being that I am going to be the godmother of your baby...I'm sorry, please don't tell anyone where I went, when I do leave..."

"We promise Hermione, but you have to promise that you will take care of yourself."

"I promise...now. how bout we go get some food, I hear baby potter growling in there...aren't you kid?"

-end of flashback-

Hermione and Percy went on the line and bought their food then sat down on a table near the glass panels of the window. Hermione smiled at Percy and started to dig in her food. Percy smiled back at her as she opened the lid on her open faced salmon sandwich. He then unwrapped the sub he had bought and looked at the locket hanging from his neck. It looked like something he knew, something he had seen when he was younger.

Their Aunt Muriel loves Weasley kids, when she was younger; she used to stay at the burrow every afternoon to talk to his mom. When each Weasley son turn11, she gave them a piece of jewelry that had been handed down to her by her father, she was Molly's sister. Muriel did not have children of her own so she gave the jewelry to her only living nephews and nieces. When Percy turned 11, he made her choose between two things, a pocket watch that had been in the Prewett family or a locket. The locket was made from gold and sliver embossed together and has a dandelion etched on its surface. In the dandelion was a small citrine. He picked the pocket watch and the locket was given to Ron. The twins got a pair of rings that were once owned by one of the ancestors of the Prewetts, they were twins too, so it was predestined for the Weasley twins. Ginny how ever, always got a piece of jewelry from her every birthday. The boys knew it was because Ginny was the only niece.

He choked on that memory. This was the Hermione Granger who developed the Azkaban system before she left his world. She was only 16, but with the aid of McGonagall, Harry and Flitwick, the system was created. She was a brain child of it and got generously paid for it.

She smiled at him and went back to her food.

"Uhm, Dr. Granger?"

"Yes Mr. Weasley"

"Percy, Hermione, you should really call me that."

"I didn't think you'd remember me…"

"Well I didn't at first, since you look different now, then I saw the locket"

"Oh…"

"So, you have the locket, it means that Ron and you were engaged before…"

"The past, we can't change it, we can only mourn it."

"True, I guess you are right"

"Well…how are your parents?"

"Oh they are great, dad's the new minister"

"Oh well that's good I should send him a gift…how are your brothers?"

"Charlie finally got married, got dragon keeper of a girlfriend pregnant so they got hitched, Fred and his wife Laurie have a new baby boy and George…he is a serial dater. Bill and Fleur have 3 children all boys, Fleur is angry about it; she's determined to have a girl. Ginny-"

"I owl her once in a while, I am after all the godmother of Gillian…" She stifled a laugh and proceeded, "How bout you no family?"

"Nope, I'm enjoying a single life, after that disaster with Penny and the whole war thing …I want to live life before I settle down"

"Oh, this is new coming for perfect prefect Percy"

"I'm insulted you even called me that" he said smiling at her.

"I was kidding…"

"So how about you how is life?"

"Same as always…"

"Let me guess you own 4 cats, live in a house just near the hospital and you probably work part time as a librarian?"

"I resent that,. I work part time, that is if i have time, at the local bookstore down the road near my house which is near the hospital. I own two cats, but they are spawning, I got Crookshanks disabled in that sense of life already… my other cat, Alia, is due in a few weeks"

"Oh Crookshanks musta hated that"

"Well, being the kind of cat he is, he still does resent me, he randomly hangs out with my male neighbors so that they bring him back to my house…I dare say I don't need a cat to set me up…"

"Maybe you should consult a book about it" he said smiling at her evilly.

"I really resent that, Weasley"

Oliver was sitting on his bed, bored out of his mind. He was given pain killers and some other drugs for the proud limb. He also wished Percy would come back to keep him company. The nurse that came in giggled at him and this was very demeaning even for him. He sighed and watched the telly. He wasn't really watching the game, hell its Quiddtich on foot minus the snitch, his mind in fact was on his doctor.

She was an enigma to him then, she still is now. A bookworm, unlikely part of the golden trio, studious like carrot top, smart, helped take down Voldemort, Gryffindor, and pretty. Did I just say pretty? Oliver shook his head and continued on thinking about his doctor. When he saw her earlier, he couldn't believe she was living a muggle's life, even if she was muggle born, she was a very successful witch, and yet she chose to hide from the world she had shined in. Not to mention, woots, the curvy body, the pretty smile and the eyes. Oliver tried to shrug that kind of thinking again but he cant help but thinking that she was one attractive doctor. There isn't one witch, wizard or magical creatures that know about her days with the golden trio and the fall of Voldemort.

"Something tells me there is a darker side to her past that only a few know" he thought to himself. Oliver blushed at the thought of her feeling up his loins to find a cist; he tried to shrug it off. Finally after a few minutes of trying to shrug it off, he huffed and decided to take a pee. He got up and went into his washroom waddling like a duck.

"Merlin, I Oliver Wood, top 5 hottest man in the world of Quiddtich has resulted to waddling due to a stubborn limb…" he lifted the toilet seat and tried to shrug the feeling of shame because of little wood.

"Think waterfalls, water fountains, rivers…lakes…."

The next thing a loud scream came from Room 540.

"It burns!"
