Chapter 2: Prejudice Revenge
Hermione knew she was being irrational. She was being a bitch for lack of better words. At the moment though, she didn't care as she stomped out of the Ministry building. It was outrageous! Interning underneath Malfoy! Of all people! Hermione slowed as she sighed and found herself sitting on a bench, head in hands, regretting her latest actions as she relived what had happened.
"How wonderful. Then I'm your bloody intern." Hermione retorted in a very dry sneer. To say that Draco was shocked was an understatement but what really surprised him was how much her sneer and look reminded him of himself and how he treated her at Hogwarts.
'No wonder she hates my guts. Mr. Weasley must've known...he did. Bloody hell.' Draco cursed in his mind and sighed before sitting down across from her.
"Welcome back and to the department of Misuse of Muggle Artifacts I guess then." Draco said.
Hermione couldn't believe that Draco, of all people was okay with this! It enraged her!"I refuse to be your intern." She hissed in a malice disgust before getting up, abandoning her coffee and heading out of the coffee shop and towards an alley to apparate to the Ministry. However, Draco followed her and caught up to her easily, his long legs and height aiding him."Come on Granger! You're being ridiculous! I have worked for the Ministry for 3 years and have proven myself capable!" Draco snapped, grabbing her hand. Hermione turned around and punched Draco in the nose, glaring at him. Draco yelped and stumbled back, his hand to his nose, blood spurting out a bit."Bloody fucking hell Granger!" Draco cursed and Hermione quickly walked off, heading to the ministry, leaving a bleeding and broken nosed Draco behind. Once she arrived at the Ministry, Hermione went straight to Mr. Weasley's office, knocking before entering, not bothering to wait for an answer yet. Mr. Weasley looked up from his reports, surprised to see Hermione."I will NOT work with that pompous, arrogant murderer!" Hermione said immediately. Mr. Weasley frowned and set his papers down."Hermione. The Ministry nor I would hire someone who has not proved themselves, let alone give them an intern. If you do not trust myself or the Ministry then believe Dumbledore. He vouched for Draco in his will. I was hoping that you of all people wouldn't hold such a prejudice against someone since it's something you understand." Mr. Weasley said, disappointment in his voice. Hermione flinched slightly and took a deep breath."Just consider it and give him a week Hermione." Mr. Weasley pleaded. Hermione nodded and said goodbye before heading out.Now here she was, regretting her recent actions and realizing how much of a bitch she had been, punching Malfoy despite that he didn't do anything wrong. She sighed and went back to her flat, writing a letter before sending it, using her Golden feathered barn owl.
Meanwhile, Draco had apparated to his flat after his confrontation with Hermione, going to his bathroom and pulling his hand away, grabbing his wand from his pocket. He pointed it to his nose and shut his eyes, anticipating the pain.
"Episkey." He said before yelping as his nose snapped in place. Draco sighed before washing the blood off and then got ready for a hot shower, deciding to try and relax. He finished his shower and dressed in simple muggle clothing consisting of grey jeans and a green long sleeved shirt. After deciding to read and grabbing his book, sitting down on the brown couch he owned, an owl landed on his window, tapping on it. Draco sighed and got up, not recognizing the owl but opened the window anyway, taking the letter attached to it's leg.
Malfoy,
I will intern under you and hope that your nose is okay. I guess I'll see you tomorrow at 9 am for my first day. Thank you
Hermione Granger
Her scrawl was neat and feminine and her words were concise and simple. Draco sighed but decided to write back.
Granger,
Sure. See ya tomorrow. Be dressed in casual muggle fashion.
Draco Malfoy
