Disclaimer: EVERYTHING BELONGS TO THE WONDERFUL J.K. ROWLING (SHE IS AMAZING!)

No One's POV

"Granger?" Draco questioned though by the look of his face, he already knew the answer to the question. There faces were practically inches apart.

'Shit! Shit! Shit! What the hell is Malfoy doing here?' Hermione thought. As soon as she overcame the sudden shock and straighten herself, she was able to muster up, "Malfoy! What are you doing here?"

The sound of her words got Draco to stop gawking at her, " Just getting some books" he said but stammered. 'Damn she is even more gorgeous in person! What... what am I thinking!? Stop Draco. Focus. This is Granger!'

"Oh well that's surprising considering I am usually the bookworm" Hermione remarked, quite annoyed that her morning was tampered by Draco yet again only this time he was physically here and not just in her mind.

"Just because I'm in a bookstore doesn't make me a bookworm" Draco sneered "and don't treat me like I am dumb Granger, I might have not been first in everything but I can beat you in potions any day."

Offended, Hermione snapped, "The only reason you were better that me at Potions was because Slughorn was practically in love with you!"

Malfoy smirked and brought his face close to Hermione's like it was a couple of minutes ago. Hermione froze on spot as Draco said in a deep husky voice, "Everyone's in love with me. Even till this day."

As soon as Hermione came back to earth, she gave Draco a disgusted look and replied, "Egotistical as always huh Malfoy. Honestly, I don't have time for this." With that, Hermione stepped back and was about to head when she turned her head do she can see and said, "I would say it was nice to see you but I would be lying". Then she walked away leaving Malfoy slightly off-guard as he did not expect that sassiness from Hermione.

Hermione's POV

Urgh! I absolutely hate him! "Everyone's in love with me" Who does he think he is!? Anyway, I guess I should forget about that git now. When I looked at my watch, it said it is 9:55, so I decided to head my way to Leaky Cauldron.

Leaky Cauldron has definitely changed since the was. In fact, the entire Diagon Alley has changed. The place doesn't look like Scary Victorian London anymore, it looks more like a modern high-class street! As I entered Leaky Cauldron, I started looking for Ginny when suddenly, I saw a flash of fiery red hair.

"Hey Gin" I said cheerfully though I had a feeling Ginny wouldn't be that happy today considering the letter this morning.

"Hey 'Mione. How are you?" she said while ordering two butterbears.

"I'm fine thank you. But are you okay Gin? Is there anything bothering you?" I asked sincerely. To be honest, Gin did not look okay. It's not that she looks bad, she is looking great in the maroon dress she is wearing, it's just that she has sad eyes and puffy cheeks with prove that she's been crying. "Gin, what happened? Tell me NOW or-"

"Iamgoingtobreakupwithharry" she said so quickly I missed the entire thing.

"I'm sorry. What did you just say?"

"I think I am going to- I mean I will-" Ginny stammered.

"Get to the point Gin" I said hastly. I need to know what's up with her.

She took a deep breath and then said, "Hermione don't hate me but I think I have to break up with Harry."

What! Didn't see that one coming. "W-Why? You guys always seemed so happy. I thought things are going great between you two."

"They were but with me playing for Holyhead Harpies and him being and Auror we don't even see each other much anymore and when we do, it's... different- not the same as it used to be." Ginny said, looking down at her hands.

Softly, I said, "I get what you mean but is that the only reason you want to-"

"No. It isn't. I just think we should see new people in general. I know that sounds really bad but it's true and I'm pretty sure Harry would agree with me. Merlin 'Mione, what do I do?" she said. By the look on her face, she had definitely been thinking through this for a while.

After a couple of seconds I replied, "To be honest, I think you should break up with him if that's what you want to. And as for Harry, considering the fact that he has been my best friend, almost brother for the past 10 years, he'll understand for sure." I said the last part with a smile because I'm quite certain it is true.

For the first time this morning, Ginny had a true smile in her face, "I hope you're right 'Mione" and then the waitress came with our butterbeers. "How 'bout we talk about something less depressing now?" she said with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Rolling my eyes, I said "Sounds good to me"

And with that Ginny started talking, well... with her it's more like gossiping, "Guess who I ran into in Quality Quidditch Supplies? Blaise freakin' Zabini!"

That made me choke on my drink. "Blaise as in THE Blaise Zabini that you-"

"Yes the one that I slept with in seventh year" she said shamefully.

-Blaise and Ginny: seventh year (Hermione's POV)-

After the battle, I went to redo my seventh year. That was when me and Blaise became friends as he was one of the only people from our year group that came to redo their last N.E.W.T.S. That led to him spending a lot of time with Ginny as me and Gin used to hang out together since Harry and Ron went straight into auror training after the war.

During my last year, Ginny grew quite close to Blaise. She once even confessed to me saying that she had a 'thing' for him though she NEVER acted upon it because she was with Harry. That was until one night when we were all at the Graduation party that happened on the last week of school. Everyone was extremely drunk and Blaise and Ginny slept together.

Ginny was the one who told me the entire story the next morning. She said that when she woke up in Blaise's arms with him still asleep and to prevent complications, she got up, took all her clothes and left his room without a word. Since that day, those two avoided each other like the plague and I never brought it up. I don't blame Ginny for what she did as I know she really regretted it. Although, that didn't stop the longing looks Blaise and Ginny had on their faces whenever they saw each other from a distance.

-Back to the present (Hermione's POV)-

"Yes the one that I slept with in seventh year" Ginny said shamefully.

"What happened?" I asked quickly. Those two haven't talked or seen each other in two years it must have been awkward.

"Well... he said hello politely and said that I look great. Like me, he was definitely shocked so it was extremely awkward. Then he just made up some excuse and left" she said the last part quite bitterly.

Surprised, I said "Don't tell me you still like him!" No way. She can't. She has been with Harry all this time.

"I don't 'Mione, I'm just saying-" she responded but I cut her off.

"Oh Merlin, you've got to be joking" I muttered looking over Ginny's shoulders.

Furrowing her eyebrows, Gin turned around and looked at where I was pointing and said, "Oh can this day get any worse?!"
