Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling. I'm just playing in her world.

A/N: This is my first "Parts" fic. By this, I mean there was more than one quote I wanted to use for one storyline, so I've seperated it into parts, each one with a different quote. The next three chapters will be Part [number] of this.(:

Title: Returning
Genre: Romance, sort of...
Rating: T
Warning: Talk of sex.
Pairing/Character: Draco/Hermione, Hannah.
Word Count: 400

I sweep the cloth over the surface of the bar, sure to clean every inch. I don't know how I, Hermione Granger, ended up covering for Hannah Longbottom at her own inn, but with the baby on the way and the stomach growing, Hannah has trouble moving behind the bar. I tuck in the stools on my way, already feeling as if I'd been at it for years. Now, most people would clean the bar with the flick of a wand, but I'm a practical, Muggleborn woman, and I prefer to do certain things the Muggle way.

A gentle tinkle of a bell behind me indicates that someone has entered, and I can't help but wonder what someone would be doing in the pub at such a silly time of night. I speak without a moment's hesitation, not bothering to turn around, continuing to clean the bar.

"We're closed now, come back later when we're open."

The person did not reply, but the sound of shoes tapping against wood was clear. I felt the presence of someone right behind me and I stand up straight. I think of turning around but the person's breath tickles my ear, causing me to tense, and a familiar, deep voice fills my every thought.

"I still have your underwear," the man whispers in what can only be described as a suggestive voice.

Keeping myself together, ignoring the way my heart picked up, I raise my nose in the air and reply, "I still have your virginity."

I can practically feel his scowl as he snaps, "Shut up."

I feel a hand on my shoulder, pressuring slightly as it pulls me around. I open my mouth to protest but my words are muffled by his lips on mine. I let him have his fun for a moment before putting my hands on his chest and pushing him away gently.

I look him in the eye as I repeat, "We're closed now, come back later when we're open. Goodbye, Draco."

He smirks and nods his head once, Apparating out of the small Inn. I sigh and turn back to the task at hand – cleaning the bar. I knew, without a doubt, the blond Slytherin would be back later.

"I still have your underwear." ~ "I still have your virginity." ~ "Shut up." - Juno.

A/N: ... It gets better? Well, I'm not sure if it does... that's up to you xD
