Hermione drummed her fingers rhythmically against the table as she waited for Ginny to appear for their lunch date.

Just as she was about to take a sip of her butterbeer, she spotted the red headed witch making a beeline towards her.

"I'm so sorry I'm late!," Ginny cried out as she gave Hermione a bear hug.

"I got caught up," Ginny said, breathless as she sat down opposite Hermione.

Hermione merely raised an eyebrow as she glanced down at the numerous shopping bags Ginny had carried along with her.

"So how's it been?," Ginny asked as she stole a few sips from Hermione's drink.

"Okay I guess," Hermione shrugged.

"How are things with Ron?," Hermione asked.

Ginny rolled her eyes at the mention of her brother. "He's gone barmy, I tell you. He marched in our house, screaming bloody murder claiming you're sleeping with Malfoy and such. He ranted on and on until Harry demanded for him to shut up. Even Mum screamed at him at the Burrow. She scolded him for being so stupid for letting you go,"

Hermione expression turned gloomy as she thought of Ron. He may have broken her heart and used her but he was still her best friend.

"He'll come around, Hermione. He may be a prat but you know how much he cares about you," Ginny said assuringly.

"I guess," Hermione replied hesitantly

"What was it you wanted to speak about by the way?," Ginny asked.

"Well, I actually got an owl yesterday from non other than Malfoy," Hermione said as she ran her fingers through her curls, suddenly nervous.

Ginny's blue eyes widened in shock at the mention of the handsome wizard.

"Malfoy?! Didn't he- well, the last time you saw him- infront of Ron

"Ughh, yes. I made a total fool of myself infront of him Ginny," Hermione groaned as she covered her face with both her hands.

"I'm sure it wasn't that bad-"

"I told Ron that I'd sleep with Malfoy if I wanted to! And- and that I'd date him! Malfoy probably thinks I'm interested in him or something!," Hermione groaned.

"Are you, though?," Ginny asked.

"Am I what?,"

"Interested in Malfoy?," Ginny asked calmly as if she was talking about the weather.

"Wha-what? Where did that come from?," Hermione spluttered, a faint blush staining her cheeks.

"Well, he is Draco Malfoy. Come on, Hermione. He is as quoted by Witches' Weekly as the perfect, exceedingly gorgeous, and filthy rich Most Eligible Bachelor. He may have been an arse in school but let's face it, he is gorgeous," Ginny said with a wink.

Hermione's mind wandered back to his golden locks, stormy grey eyes and that damned smirked and- NO!

"Ginny! You're married to Harry," she stressed.

Ginny merely shrugged. "What he doesn't know won't kill him,"

Hermione shook her head as she got back to the main point. "Anyways, he owled me to say that he wanted to discuss business so we'll see how it goes,"

Ginny nodded as she grinned and said "Maybe there's more to that than just business-

"Stop! We're both professionals and this is most probably just a business deal," Hermione insisted.

"If you say so. Where will you be meeting him?," Ginny asked.

"Malfoy Manor," Hermione said with a straight face although the blush on her cheeks gave it away.

Ginny arched an eyebrow and smiled decadently in Hermione's direction.

"Not a word Ginny. Not a word," Hermione repeated.
