Draco walked down the streets of Mexico. It was just another day of business. At times it could be tiring but he loved the traveling aspect. His line of business was foreign affairs. He was the guy who made deals with other countries. It wasn't his dream job but, hey, it paid the bills. Besides it was better then the job his father had lined up for him. But on this day he didn't feel like traveling because he's had the same headache for two days.
But that was the downfall of his job. Because he basically had no life. When he wasn't working he was sleeping. And even that isn't true sometimes because just last night he had a dream about a deal he made in Sweden. But it was way more bizarre then what had actually happened. Everyone sat around a round table arguing about this one small thing in the contract and suddenly ninja's fell from the ceiling and everyone pulled out a sword from under the table and started to fight them. And just as some ninja was about to karate chop Draco's head off he woke up. But those were for the most part the perks of the job.
It was the first time Draco had been to Mexico. It was alright there, nothing special. He didn't see the crazy guys wearing sombreros or any filthy people begging. It was just like any other place. Men and women who were trying to get by. That and it was bloody hot.
He made his way up to the hotel. He got a room 14 floors up that overlooked a small bay. He unpacked his things. He would be there at least a week, 2 at the most. You never know when it comes to contracts and agreements.
Draco flopped himself on the bed. He was ready for a nap because he hadn't slept for a whole day. His lids became very heavy and he was falling into sleep.
RING.RING.
Draco shook awake.
"Dammit!" he yelled
He looked around confused then saw the telephone ringing.
"Bloody hell!"
He knew how to use a telephone but never liked them much. It was to muggle for him. Owls were the only way to go for him.
"What?" he asked agitated
"I thought we went over this. When you answer a phone you say hello. Well at least your not shouting into it any more." said the woman's voice
It was Draco's girlfriend Violet.
"How are you" he asked calming down a bit
"Fine. Sorry I used the telephone. But I just don't like using owls. They take to long. How is Mexico?" she asked
"Nice. But to damn hot." he said
And so they talked for another 10 minutes. When they ended Draco hauled himself back into bed. That was another thing nagging on his mind. Violet. They kept up this facade about themselves. That pretended there relationship was fine. But Draco had lost feeling for her and he knew she had for him. He wouldn't be surprised if she called him right after she got done shagging another man. He would break up with her only he can't even find time in his schedule for that. He meant to do it a few days ago. He even put it in his daily planner but had to cancel that because he had a meeting.
Draco lie awake in his bed staring at the ceiling. He was dying for some sleep but now he was wide awake. He went over the to window and looked out at the bay. The sun was going down and he saw a boat out in the distance. He could only wish to be out on that boat. To live by his rules and not have to worry about meetings and contracts.
He doesn't quite know how long he stared out at the bay but he awoke to his alarm clock at 6 AM. He put on his usual suit and went on to work. He left the Mexican Ministry around 8 PM which was pretty early compared to some days. He decided to see some of the markets set up around town. Maybe he could buy his mother something with the real Mexican feel. She was always complaining about how he never thought of her. Maybe this would get her off his back.
Draco walked around a cart that had things that looked like ancient artifacts. He picked one thing up to examine it. When he looked closely at the bottom it read "MADE IN CHINA". Draco put it down and gave the guy a dirty look. He gave up on souvenirs after awhile. He moved on to the fruit market. He could always go for some fruits. Even if they were from China. He was looking at these particular fruits he had never saw before when something bright shone in his eye making him blind for a moment.
He looked around and hadn't a clue what it was. But after it happened several times he became annoyed and thought someone was toying with him. He walked around the large market and saw the cause of his problem. A woman wearing silver hammered earrings. He looked away annoyed. But something hit him. He froze for a moment. He looked around for a moment for the woman with the earrings.
It couldn't be, he thought.
A lump grew in his throat and he began to sweat heavily as he walked around the market to find her.
You're just seeing things, he tried to tell himself.
Draco stopped running around before someone thought he was crazy. He stood still to catch his breath before he passed out on the sidewalk.
But then the flash came back into his eyes. He shot his head up. He saw a brunette woman walking away. And Draco sprinted to her.
"Hermione!" he yelled
She looked just like her.
It couldn't be though.
The woman didn't falter. She kept on walking. Finally Draco caught up to her and spun her around.
It was her. Hermione.
Only this woman looked at him strangely.
"Hermione." Draco said panting
"Excuse me? I think you have me mistaken." she said her face blank
Draco stared at her for a moment. This woman looked exactly like Hermione. Had he gone mad? It was then that Draco noticed the little girl standing beside the woman who had to be at least 7 or 8.
"What?" he said and stepped back
Was he going crazy? Had all this work finally got to him? This was Hermione Granger. This was the girl he used to make fun of at Hogwarts. This was the woman he fell in love with. How didn't she recognize him.
The woman put her child behind her and took a frightened step backwards.
"I'm sorry but you have me mistaken." she said and started to walk backwards
She gave him a frightened look. A look like he was insane.
"What? No. Hermione it's me, Draco Malfoy."
Draco stood still and watched as she backed away. He looked into her eyes. She showed nothing for him. Not hint of recognition. Her face was blank.
Finally when she reached what she thought a safe distance she jogged with her daughter to there car and drove away.
Draco walked silently back to his hotel. He looked over the bay trying to figure out what had just happened.
Maybe I have gone mad, he thought to himself.
What will happen next? Is it Hermione or isn't it? Leave a little something.
