Hey All- Sorry for waiting so long to post- a teacher's life is always busy.

This story is a bit of a filler chapter but I have a break coming up so I can hopefully update soon with some more content.

As always- I do not own anything, just borrow characters from the wonderful J.K. Rowling


The next morning saw Draco heading back to the tea shop in the hopes of determining if this Jeanette was in fact Hermione Granger. He entered the shop with a ding from the bell above the door and queued up to place his order.

Jeanette was working the drink machine again today. Her hair was pulled up in a loose bun and she appeared to be wearing some lipstick, if he wasn't mistaken- not very Hermione-like. He added it to his Not Hermione list.

He placed his order with the same barista as the previous day and she gave him another knowing look.

As she gave him his change she said, "You could just talk to her- Ask her if she's the person you're thinking of."

"I'm just here for the tea." Draco replied stubbornly. He accepted his change and moved to the que for the drinks. Who was this muggle to assume anything about him?

Jeanette was mouthing along to the song again and Draco found himself speaking before he could think better of it.

"Do you enjoy this song then?"

Jeanette glanced over, startled for a moment and laughed. It was a nice laugh. He couldn't remember Hermione ever laughing so he was unable to add it to his evidence lists. "Not particularly, no. I have to listen to the same songs over and over- We play the same playlist every day! I just seem to do it unintentionally." She smiled at him and then turned back to finish his tea.

"Here you go. Enjoy sir."

"Draco." He replied, once again speaking carelessly. This woman put him off kilter- something to add to the Hermione list.

She tilted her head, examining him for a moment, but there was still no recognition as she said, "That's an interesting name. Were your parents particularly fond of astronomy?" She had already begun preparing the next drink and had partially turned away, but she was still glancing at him whilst speaking (Particularly eloquent- Hermione List).

"It's a tradition in my family." He replied dryly.

"Ahh," Jeanette replied, "As you can tell my parents weren't too creative with mine. They took my middle name from a Shakespearean play though, so that's something I guess."

"Indeed." Draco replied.

"Well enjoy your tea." Jeanette said, turning fully back to her task at hand.

"Thanks."

Draco turned to find a spot with a good view of Jeanette's counter. He sat and began to assess her again. She certainly looked exactly like Granger, bushy hair and all- though, it seemed she grew into the hair; it suited her adult features rather nicely. As he watched he also became aware of the fact that he was not the only person to realise her attractiveness- Merlin. Did he really think she was attractive? A couple men and one woman had tried to lure her into conversation and a possible date to no avail.

Perhaps he should try to get her to talk a little more before he came to any conclusions. It had died down in the shop and Jeanette was cleaning some spoons rather thoroughly (Hermione list). Draco was out of his chair and halfway across the room before he could think about what he was going to say. He approached the counter and cleared his throat.

Jeanette glanced up and paused in the midst of her task. "Did you need something else?" she asked.

"I know this probably sounds like a line, but I feel like I know you from somewhere. Can I ask where you attended school?"

Her eyes were guarded but she laughed a little and he took that as a good sign.

"You may, but I'm sure you never attended."

Draco looked slightly scandalized, "I could have." He assured her.

She snickered, "Well if you went to one of the all-girls school in Nottingham, then we might have met."

"Oh, perhaps not." Draco replied. "Is there any chance I seem familiar to you? I swear I've met you before."

"I don't think so." Jeanette replied, tilting her head to study him, "I would have remembered someone so handsome."

Draco chuckled adding that comment to his Not Hermione List and Jeanette blushed seemingly realising she had said that out loud.

"Well then, why don't I take you to dinner tomorrow night and we can discuss my handsomeness and where I might know you from?"

Wait did he just ask out Hermione Granger… Or her look-a-like?

She bit her lip and glanced over to Peggie who had been blatantly watching (and eavesdropping). Peggie gave two thumbs up and was nodding emphatically.

"I don't usually do this but… okay." She took out a napkin from the dispenser and pulled a pen from behind her ear to jot down her number. "I get off at 4 tomorrow, let me know where you want to go and I'll meet you there." She said handing Draco the napkin.

"That sounds great." Draco replied smiling. Jeanette blushed again. She looked quite pretty when she blushed.

Draco left the tea shop. He could wait one more day before he flooed the hotline. He needed to be sure after all.
