Hermione cried and drove to her flat as fast as she could. She reached into her pocket and found she had many missed calls from Ginny. "50 missed calls? Oh, a voice mail." Hermione checked her voice mail and heard a frantic Ginny.

"Hermione? Hermione answer your phone PLEASE! The shop! The shop caught on fire! Hurry up!"

Hermione's eyes widened and she quickly got back into her car and drove off. When she arrived at the shop she was horrified. The shop had been burnt to the ground, Ginny was crying into the arms of Draco, who patted her head. The red head spotted Hermione and ran to the horrified bushy haired witch.

"W-What...What the devil happened here?" Hermione asked, trying to get over the shock.

"There was a short circuit with one of the outlets and a spark hit one of the shirts, one thing led to another and the shop was burning. Draco and I came back to get something I forgot and we saw the whole shop on fire. It was too late, the fire truck came and subdued the fire before it spread to other shops. I'm so sorry Hermione..."

Hermione shook her head, "This day is just...horrible." Tears fell from her eyes, "My shop burnt down...and Harry...oh Merlin."

Ginny looked as the bushy haired witch sobbed, "Hermione what happened?"

Hermione looked up, "Harry proposed but...she said no...and well...he went crazy. He drove to our spot and started punching the wall. I stopped him but he told me that he doesn't need me in his life. And..."

"Wait! He said HE didn't NEED you anymore? That idiotic GIT!" Ginny roared.

"Ginny. Stop. I'm not going to even try anymore...I'm tired."

"Go home honey. Your parents know about the shop..."

Hermione groaned, "Great. Now they would want me to work at our family restaurant."

"Hey. Maybe you'll like it. A new job, a new life, and a new beginning." Ginny smiled.

"What are you and Draco going to do? I mean. I can get you both a job at the restaurant..."

"That would be great." Draco said, wrapping an arm around Ginny's shoulder.

"Yeah. Thanks Hermy." Ginny snuggled up to Draco making Hermione fake gag.

"Ugh you guys are too sweet for my taste. I swear my teeth are rotting because of you both."

They grinned, "Whatever Hermione." Draco smirked.

"I gotta go. Later lovebirds." Hermione drove to her parent's house.

Weeks later

Hermione had been getting calls and text from Harry almost everyday and everyday she would ignore it. She had started to work in the restaurant as the head manager, taking care of the income and such. She surprisingly enjoyed it, and having Ginny and Draco there as a waiter and waitress made things well, amusing. The customers would ogle at them and come back, and they would attract more and more customers.

"Oh Merlin...I'm so tired of this stuff. I'm just glad I'm finished with it." Hermione placed the papers in a file and went into the restaurant. She smiled as she saw happy and content faces.

"Hey Hermione!" Ginny called out. "This is so fun! You should try it!"

Hermione shrugged, "We do have an extra uniform. I guess I could take a crack at it."

Ginny nodded and watched as Hermione went to the back and changed, "I hope she won't kill me..."

Draco came behind her and kissed her red head, "She won't...you heard Potter. He's truly and completely sorry...the only problem is..."

"Hey guys! I'm here for my shift." a voice called out. The two turned and saw their friend, Alex. Draco and Ginny knew that the moment Alex saw Hermione, he had developed a crush.

"Hey Alex. Hermione's getting changed. She's helping out with the restaurant." Ginny said.

Alex felt heat creep up his face, "O-Oh...alright."

"I don't know HOW you could stand being in this uniform Gin!" Hermione called out. "It's so short!"

"No it's not! You're just too tall for it! Come out! I want to see!" the door slowly opened, revealing the brown haired beauty. Jaws dropped and eyes widened, "Holy crap Herms you look...HOT!" Ginny exclaimed.

Hermione's body filled the black and silky uniform nicely, she blushed, "Thanks Gin. Draco, Alex stop gawking!"

Ginny slapped her boyfriend's arm, "Hello? You're my boyfriend remember?"

Draco and Alex shook their head, "Right sorry love. Merlin's beard Hermione you look incredible!"

Hermione tugged the bottom of the dress down, "Thanks guys. So which table need waiting?"

"Well Alex can you get tables 1 to 4, you can take table 12 to 15. Draco and I could handle the rest."

"Alrighty." Hermione grabbed a pen and pad and made her way to the tables. She saw that there was only one person in her designated table so she made way to the man holding the menu to his face. "Hello sir may I take your order?"

"You can. I want a talk..." a familiar voice said from behind the menu.

Hermione's eyes widened, "H-Harry?"

He placed the menu down and Hermione saw his emerald green orbs, "Long time no talk Hermione."
