Hello all my awesome readers :D

I'm so so so sorry I haven't updated, been busy with school. Honest! Without further ado, here's chapter 11 :D

Once again, I must thank my totally awesome reviewers :D

Chapter Eleven

'Fancy seeing you around here Hermione.' Blaise started, opening the door to his office and gesturing for me to enter.

'I could say the same to you. I thought you were still in Dublin.' I replied, walking into the room.

Like the rest of the building, the room was decoarted straight out of one of those wizarding interior design magazines. Built using Magitechture or something. Blaise closed the door behind him and sat down upon a deep Slytherin green couch on one side of the room, one hand patting the spot beside him and beckoning me with another.

'Returned earlier than planned. I do have a job you know.' He laughed, crossing his arms as I sat down beside him, smoothing out my robes.

'Oh yes, working for your best friend, Draco Malfoy.' I teased, attempting to smirk at him.

'Hey missy, he gave me this job because I'm a talented lawyer, not because I occasionally saved his butt back at Hogwarts.' Blaise retorted, faking annoyance.

'Sure, sure.'

'It's true!' he exclaimed, trying his best to put on an offended face. 'But back to you young lady. What are you doing here, and why do you look so different?'

'I came to see your good old friend, why else would I be here?'

'Who? Pansy? Anthony? Theo?' He asked, eyebrows raised in a quizzical manner.

I rolled my eyes.

'Malfoy! Duhh.'

'You have got to be kidding me. You came here to see Draco?' He questioned, eyes wide.

'Yes. Is there a problem with that?'

'That's a bit unexpected coming from you Hermione. Does he owe you money? Did he hex Potter or Weasley? Have you come to kick his ass?'

Merlin Blaise was such a child some times.

'No Blaise. You see, I sort of lost all my money on this muggle thing called the stock market. And then I had a run in with some bad wizards and borrowed money off them, and now I'm broke and hoping to charm Malfoy into giving me a loan.'

His eyes nearly popped out of his head. Oh Blaise you guillible little thing.

'Relax Blaise, I'm just playing with you.'

He let a groan.

'You really are cruel sometimes Hermione. So so cruel.'

'Get over it Blaise. Now tell me, what have you been up to since the summit in Dublin?'

Tonight, I'm going to poison my father. Mwahahahahaha. Maybe I'll slip a double dose of Dreamless Sleep Potion into his goblet at dinner, and then see how he feels when I dump water on him while he's sleeping.

Hmph.

I'm the boss, is there really a need to turn up to work on time, or at all even?

Plus, I need my beauty sleep. I really don't need wrinkles before I'm thirty.

'Good Morning Mr Malfoy.'

I sent a glare towards the cheery receptionist that was manning the front desk of the building.

I did hire her because she was so friendly, but how can anyone be so happy and cheerful this early in the morning?

As I made my way towards the elevator, I was awarded with several 'Good Mornings', 'How are you todays', 'Fine weather isn't its' and so on by various members of staff that were bustling around the place.

I really need to put a ban on morning greetings in this building.

Maybe I should put a taboo on the phrase.

Or I could even make them pay a sickle every time they wish me a good morning.

Woohoo. Success. I made onto my personal elevator which was only accessible by me (obviously) and went straight up to my floor.

When the doors opened, I stepped out and started to make my way towards my office, thanking Merlin that the people on this floor were already slaving away within their own offices.

My assistant seemed to sense my foul mood, and handed me the files I would require for the day before practically running out of my office.

I'm really glad I hired her.

Let's see, check list.

I came to work. tick

I received files I would need. tick

What now?

Oh yes! I needed to see Blaise. Leaving my office, I walked back to the elevators, and this time using a public one, went one floor down.

His assistant was seated outside his office, copying out files with a quill. She looked up as soon as I reached the table.

'Mr Malfoy, you're here to see Mr. Zabini?'

I nearly grabbed the files she was working onto to slap myself in the head. Obviously I'm looking for Blaise, why else would I come all the way here?

Resisting the nearly uncontrollable urge, I settled for shoving both my hands into my pockets.

'Yes, is he here yet?'

She nodded a few times in rapid succesion.

'Mr. Zabini came in about half an hour ago with a woman.'

I quirked up my eyebrows in amusement. Blaise, bringing a woman to work? Goodness me.

'Alright. Thank you.' I leant slowly closer to see her name tag. 'Alice'

She smiled at me and went back to her work. Merlin, were all the people I hired so smiley all the time? Never realised..

Walking past her table, I went straight up to his door, and swung it open, stepping inside.

'Zabini, what's this I hear about you bringing a woman to work.'

Blaise was seated beside a woman, they were both currently looking at something she held in her hands. It was one of those muggle things, a mo-bile fone if I recall correctly.

No sooner had I spoken did their heads snap up towards me.

Was I dreaming.

I must have been.

But my father did wake me up with that bucket of water this morning.

It was my muggle angel.

She was sitting in the same room as me.

Next to Blaise.

'Draco, morning mate.'

Malfoy had just waltzed into the room with his usual cocky persona and I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes.

He was staring straight at me, and I prayed to Merlin that Ginny's magnificent make up skills would prevent him from recognising me.

'Ahh where are my manners. Draco, remember H-'

I cut him off, stopping him from blowing my cover.

'Draco, right? I'm Hannah.' I told him, standing up, walking towards him'

Blaise was eyeing me strangely, and I gave him my best 'I'll tell you later' look before turning back to Malfoy and giving him the best smile I could force out.

I extended my hand out for him to shake.

'Hannah Thompson.'

Reviews plox? :D I promise I'll try to update :)
