4. Meetings and Roses
"Granger!" Hermione turned around to the voice.
"Oh hey Caralin." Hermione smiled.
"Hey." Caralin smiled back. "Listen, Nebi told me to tell you that you have a delivery waiting for you at the front desk."
"Okay I'll go get it. Thank you." Hermione said as she began walking to the direction of the lifts.

"Woah." Hermione whispered with an eyebrow raised once she was in the first floor. "Brenda what's all this?" Hermione asked in bewilderment over how many roses there were in the front desk.
"Roses, for you." Brenda said as she looked up from some papers.
"Oh Brenda you shouldn't have." Hermione teased.
"Believe me I didn't, but a certain Malfoy did." She said as she held out an open card. "Seems like a charming, sweet young fellow from what I can tell." Hermione took the card.
"Brenda you snoop." Hermione said as she put one of her hands on her waist.
"Hey, the boy should have shut that thing with glue or put a spell on it if he didn't want people to read it." She replied back. "Now read it's so cute!" She smiled.
Hermione looked at her coldly but then smiled and did as so.
To my dearest Hermione,
I hope we can restart fresh and build our way back
up to the way we use to be.
I'm sorry for all those times I was a git and an idiot
and I'm glad that you're willing to take a second
chance on me.
I promise you won't regret it.
I look forward to seeing you later.
Love,
Draco M.
Hermione looked smiling to a curios Brenda.
"So what'd ya think?" She asked.
"Must admit, he's pretty sweet." Hermione replied back as she took one of the many bouquets of roses in her hands and admired them.
He was charming and sweet, that she couldn't deny.

Hermione entered her apartment and took off her coat.
"So how was your day?"
"Ah!" Hermione screamed "Draco you scared me."
"Sorry love." He said as he took her coat and kissed her cheek. "I see you got the flowers, did you like them?" He asked.
During Hermione's break she had come and put the flowers in different areas of her apartment.
"Yes, they're beautiful. Thank you." Hermione smiled "By the way how'd you get in my house?"
"Well after I found out I couldn't apparate or floo in here I checked the door and found that it was unlocked."
"Oops." Hermione said with a sheepish look.
"Yeah." Draco nodded but smiled none the less. "Now get all dressed up because I'm taking you out."
"Draco you don't have to." Hermione replied.
"I insist." he said as he took her hand and kissed it.
Hermione found herself unable to say no "Oh alright."
"Brilliant, I'll wait for you here." He said as he sat down and picked up a book on the coffee table.
Hermione looked at him with a strange look on her face and shook her head as she left to her room. She took a quick shower and looked at her closet for what to wear, she thought of a dress, but what if it wasn't fancy. Then she thought of dressing casual but then might be under dressed.
"Hey Draco!" Hermione called from the door.
"Yes!" He called back.
"Casual or formal?"
"What?" He said, not understanding her question.
"Should I dress casual or formal?"
"Oh, um, a skirt and a blouse will do."
"Okay, thanks." Hermione said before closing the door.
She came back out ten minutes later looking just as beautiful as ever.
"So you're ready?" Draco asked as he stood up.
"Yes just let me get my-" She was about to say purse but the door bell rang. "Um, I'll get it."
Hermione peeked over the keyhole and was surprised to see who was there.
"Todd?" Hermione asked as she opened the door just enough so that he couldn't see past her, problem was that he was taller than her. "What are you doing here?"
"Hey 'Mione, Josephine told me to give you these files for tomorrow." He said as he held out some folders.
Draco heard the male voice and tried to take a look past Hermione to see who the guy was but Hermione kept trying to block him. Draco became suspicious.
"Did I interrupt something?" Todd said as he noticed Hermione was dressed very pretty.
"Um, kinda, sorta, yeah" Hermione nodded.
Hermione moved her head a bit to the side and Todd noticed a blond head guy in her living room.
"Oh you're with-" He began.
"Draco. Yeah" She nodded again.
"Well aren't you going to introduce us?"
Hermione had her doubts but before she could stop it her mouth said "Come in" and well... he did.
"Draco this is my friend from work Todd, Todd this is Draco, my-..."
"Husband" Draco answered for her as he shook hands with Todd.
"Glad to finally meet you, I've heard so much about you" Todd began, he saw Hermione waving at him to stop from behind Draco and he got the hint. "From newspapers," Todd said quickly "You're very well known."
"Well now that we've all met each other, Draco and I were just about to go out." Hermione interrupted before anything went wrong.
"Sorry for interrupting." Todd said.
"Don't sweat it." Draco replied.
"I'll see you tomorrow Hermione." Todd said as he headed towards the door. "Draco it was nice meeting you."
"You too." Draco smiled.
"Bye Todd." Hermione said as she closed the door. She turned back to Draco and smiled. "So where we going?"
