Chapter 5
Hermione and Ginny walked into one of the many restaurants in diagon alley for lunch. They were seated near the center of the room and given there menus.
"So how did things go with Malfoy" Said Ginny casually a she looked at her menu." you were there pretty long".
" Yeah It was good, oh Malfoy told me to tell you your welcome, even if I didn't get to read the letter you supposedly didn't send to him" Said Hermione glaring at Ginny from the top of her menu."Aside from that well, um yeah we had coffee, and I did accidentally spill his ink".
"You had coffee, so you went out" Said Ginny.
"No I brought it to him which brings me to another thing. I bumped into Ronald at GreenGots" said Hermione.
"What he says" Said Ginny a hint of anger in her voice.
"He wasn't happy when I tried to brake away from his bank account" said Hermione.
"Did he try to stop you" said Ginny leaning slightly toward Hermione as her voice lowered. By then they had both discarded there menus.
"I rather not discuss it now" said Hermione." Plus pansy says it ill be in witch weekly tomorrow morning" Said Hermione.
"Parkinson, where the hell did she come" Said Ginny.
"Oh she came from Paris this morning I think she runs witch weekly now" Said Hermione.
"Really, well I have to admit she's doing a better job then the retched skeeter women last year. You remember when she took over witch weekly, Merlin saggy draws was nothing compared to what she wrote about me and Harry. A load of bull that was" Said Ginny.
"Yeah and remember she thought James's quiditch accident was really a sign that you and Harry were abusing them. Jeez those women tailed me, asking me if I was keeping secrets for you" Hermione's chuckled." She was a serious nutter that one" Said Hermione.
"Ok back to this morning though, what happen, why was she there" Said Ginny.
" Oh yeah well first Blaise Zabine showed up and you should of seen how he and Malfoy were, they acted like brothers" Said Hermione, finally analyzing this morning and what had really happened. "oh, and then I went behind his desk, no not in that way, it was because I was looking at his work gin" Said Hermione watching as Ginny's face turned up.
"And what happened." Said Ginny raising her eyebrows?
"Well I knocked over his ink bottle, and luckily it didn't get all over his work, but I cant say the same for his shirt" said Hermione.
"Did he take it off" Said Ginny a little too loudly.
"Ginny!" Said Hermione shocked at the red heads out burst.
" What, I mean he was in witch weekly I saw that picture and I was like wow, I mean I love Harry" Said Ginny putting her hands up in her defense." SOO how did he look".
"Well I look good if I don't say so my self" Said a voice from behind Hermione. Hermione looked up a saw with horror that Draco Malfoy was towering over her. Hermione's face turned bright red.
"Well Granger that's the second time that I saw you turns so red" Said Malfoy.
"Does the other time happen to be when a particular someone was shirtless" Said pansy who popped up from behind Malfoy." Sorry about this morning Granger, I thought you were Jessica cause I knew Draco likes brunettes and he was shirtless and you were like this close" Said Pansy showing a few centimeters between her two small manicured hands.
"Huh " Gasped Ginny her mouth hanging open.
"No it's not like that" Said Hermione putting her hands up and shaking her head.
" I didn't know we were eating lunch with Mrs. potter and Ms. Hermione Granger " Said Blaise zabine walking up behind Ginny." sorry I'm late people" He said pulling up a chair and sitting next to Hermione.
" Well we weren't, but we couldn't help but over here there little conversation, and we just wondered if we could join you two, doesn't look like you've ordered yet" Said Malfoy pulling up a chair on the other side of Hermione. Pansy pulled up a chair two next to Ginny.
"Oh what a pretty bracelet" Said Pansy admiring Ginny's bracelet.
Hermione groaned and buried her flustered face inside her menu. This was going to be a long lunch.
"Oh, Hermione that reminds me, I saw this add in the paper for a great flat" Said Ginny who broke away from pansy as she mentioned the daily prophet.
"You're looking for a flat" Said Blasé raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah I moved out of my last one" Said Hermione not trying to give pansy the idea of another interview.
"Oh, well I now some one who selling an apartment" Said Blaise looking over at Draco.
"You're selling an apartment" Said Ginny." Hermione there you go talk, it has to be nice if Malfoy lived in it".
"Yeah, where is it" Said Hermione.
"Oh it's here in my pocket" Said Draco making everyone laugh and Hermione smile." No, um it's in Stunt alley".
"Wow" Said Ginny." Those apartments are really expensive".
"Yeah I don't think I can afford that " Said Hermione just as a waiter walked up to the table. She had long silky blond hair and her uniform was a size to small.
"Can I take your order" She said her eyes wondering over the whole table pausing on Blaise and then Draco. She smiled when she saw Draco and spoke."Hey Draco".
Everyone turned to him." hey Anne how's nick".
"Oh he's good, so how have you been" said the waitress perking up her chest.
"Oh I've been good" Draco said averting his eyes to focus on something else, his eyes settled on Hermione." So you running the place well".
" Yeah dads in the hospital so I took of work, to work" said Anne resting her hands on the table and bending over." He had a stroke and my sis is in America so she couldn't take over".
"Oh I hope he's ok" said Draco meeting Hermione's eyes making her look away.
Anne seemed to follow his gaze and stared Hermione down." So you haven't owl-ed me for a months" Said Anne giving Hermione a back of look before turning back to Draco giving his a seductive smile.
"I've been busy lately" Said Draco simply.
"For like six months" Said Anne chuckling slightly." so who's your Friends".
"Oh that's Blasé, you know him already. This is pansy she's one of my closest Friends. That's Harry potters wife Ginny and..." Draco sad pointing them out and turning to Hermione. "This is Hermione Granger".
"Oh, so what would you guys like" Said Anne giving Hermione looks that clearly states that she wasn't talking to her. They quickly ordered there food and laughed when Anne left.
"Did you see the looks she was giving you Draco" Said Pansy smiling." she was all over you".
"I'm more worried about Hermione" Said Ginny." She looked like she was going to kill you, the way he made it look like you were his girlfriend, ha that was Priceless".
Hermione glared at Ginny her face growing red she turned around to meat cool grey eyes. She looked into them before looking some where else.
"Back to the apartment business" Said Draco giving a small smile." I really just want to get it of my hand I put an add in the paper, and got a whole bunch of offers I was about to honestly just give it randomly away...but if you want it you can have it".
"Oh that's great" said Ginny" So your selling for allot less than its worth, honestly your crazy but lucky for Hermione".
"Yeah, um can we check it out" Said Hermione." I don't want to just rush into it".
"Of coarse ill pick you up from potters house tomorrow, how about around five" Said Draco casually.
"Um ok" Said Hermione. A new waitress came and handed them there dishes.
"Yeah and if you guys are going so late you might as well go to dinner and discuss it" Said Ginny throwing it in unexpectedly. Hermione opened her mouth to speak but was cut off.
"That would be great" Said Draco" Get everything done so you can start moving in by Monday".
" Yeah, that would be great, move as fast as possible, your putting a downer on my love life seriously" Said Ginny smiling.
