The day did not drag along as Hermione originally thought it would. She immediately got lost in her job. The books pulled her in as she picked up one after another to organize them on the shelves. Yes Hermione still had the job at the muggle library. Why? She loved it. Any book is heaven on earth for Hermione Granger. In case you are wondering, she did go to school for English, History, and Literature. She was balancing her classes, work , and Harry. Hermione was always an expert at balancing anything when it came to work, school and those she loved. Hermione still did magic every day but mostly at home, and in quiet corners of the library when no one was looking. She mostly did simple spells to make her job a little easier such as "Wingardium Leviosa", to levitate the heavy books that are harder for her to lift. It came in handy a lot. It helped her lift more than just the heavy ones too, and send them to the highest of the shelves so that she would not have to use the ladder all of the time. She always found herself reading and smelling the books during breaks. She borrowed up to twenty books at a time every couple of days. Yes same old Hermione from Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her first love if you don't count Ron and we wont here, was books. She learned how to read at a very young age, and always had a thirst for knowledge since. It was and still is a harmless addiction.

...

A little back story that will help the reader understand why Hermione is not working at a library or any company in the Wizarding world. As any Harry Potter fan knows, Hermione aided Harry Potter in defeating Lord Voldemort. All of the loss they experienced throughout their adventures and every battle wore her out in every way. She is amazing at witch craft, and she still loves it. But after all she had been through, she needed a break. She also believed at the time that it would help Ron too to get space from magic for a little while. If you read chapter one, you know what happened there. But if you didn't, long story short it did not help both of them only her in some ways.

...

So here she is wondering if now might be the time to enter the Wizarding World, and maybe apply for University there just like she always wanted to do. She always wanted a mix of muggle and wizarding schooling. Applying for a job in the Wizarding World was also on her mind too. Maybe a book store in Diagon Alley, and later apply for a job at Hogwarts.

Harry said yes to moving in with her. But she has yet to discuss where. She will have to discuss it later with him at home. It would make the commute to his work a lot easier because he worked in the Wizarding World himself. He took Ollivander's job after he retired from his wand shop. Ollivander retired after Harry defeated the Dark Lord because he had been through a traumatizing ordeal, and he figured he was getting too old anyways. He felt bad about the part he played in the war with Lord Voldemort when he told him about the "Elder Wand." The Elder Wand was the most powerful wand in existence at the time. As a way to apologize, he gave his shop to Harry. At first Harry declined. But in the end he took what was offered after his then girlfriend Ginny Weasley talked to him and convinced him to accept it. She convinced him to forgive Ollivander too. After all, he was tortured and they both know perfectly well what Lord Voldemort was capable of.

Now back to the present day. Hermione was about to cast her favorite spell to finish up the rest of her organizing when a pair of hands wrapped around her head covering her eyes like a blind fold. She gasped startled. "Guess Who?!, said a familiar female voice. Hermione realized who it was then and there and squealed excitedly. She covered her mouth when she realized how loud she was, and then spoke in a quieter voice, "Ginny. Hi!" Ginny Weasley was smiling at her. She hugged her. "I really hope that I didn't frighten you Hermione. If I did, I am sorry." Hermione giggled "No you didn't. Well maybe just a little bit. You know how I get around books." Ginny laughed, "Oh yes I do." Hermione grinned, happy to see her friend. "I am so happy to see you Ginny. What brings you here?" Hermione had known Ginny for nearly as long as she had known Ron. Ginny is the youngest of the Weasley family and the only girl aside from her mother and sister in law Fleur whom was married to her eldest brother Bill. Ginny had once told Hermione that she, Hermione was the sister she never had. They found a table to sit down at. "I know this is where you work, so I will not keep you long. I would like to see you again though as it has been too long since we spent any time together. I miss you. Anyways I am traveling for work and I stopped in here to use the loo. I saw you and thought I would come over and say hello. I got very excited when I saw you because like I said, it has been too long and you know I love you like a sister. Hermione chuckled and kept on smiling, "Well I am glad you decided to come over and say hello." Ginny laughed and then sighed. "Okay I am not being honest here. I am sorry. I am not traveling for work. But I am here to see you. I heard that you work here. My mum told me. Hermione still kept in touch with Mrs Molly Weasley more often than she did any of the Weasleys. They wrote to each other all of the time. Hermione kept smiling but was now a little bit nervous sensing something was up. "Did I do something? I hope I didn't do anything." Hermione looked down fidgeting a little. Ginny patted her arm. "You didn't do anything. I was just wanting to talk. We haven't in so long...I was wondering what really happened between you and my brother? Why didn't it work out? Also...Would you consider taking him back?" As much as Hermione loved Ginny, she was a little upset at that moment. Her face reddened and her voice came out in a shaky upset and rushed whisper, "Did he put you up to this?!"

Ginny backed up a bit started at how upset Hermione sounded. "Woah! No I swear. I am so sorry. I see that I upset you. Please let me finish." Hermione nodded for her to continue. "Ronald never told anyone what happened. He just showed up at my parent's home and we were all very surprised. We were surprised that you guys ended it, and we were surprised that Ron moved back home. I would like to hear from you what happened since he wont talk about it. I know it has been a year but he still misses you. I know because he talks in his sleep, and I stay over sometimes and hear him when I get up for a glass of water in the middle of the night. He says your name a lot. He hasn't been with anyone else, and he is miserable. I know it has been a year...But..."

Hermione cut her off in a little less upset tone. "You're right, it has been a year. Look Ginny, I appreciate your concern. It is super sweet that you are looking out for your brother too. He is lucky to have a sister like you. But him and I are over. He wasn't the same after the battle at Hogwarts and losing Fred, and I do not blame him for that. It is the behavior that followed that slowly destroyed our relationship. He cheated twice, and we fought a lot if you must know. I sacrificed a lot to try to fix our damaged relationship. But what we had was gone. I do not blame him. Not fully. Circumstances changed him and even me. I will always love him but we are no longer compatible."

Ginny looked instantly apologetic. "I feel terrible for getting involved here in business that is not my concern. I am so sorry for that. I am sorry that this all happened to you too. Losing Fred was hard and still is. But it is no excuse to keep treating you bad for the rest of your lives. I still miss Fred and I always will. Her voice broke and her eyes got teary talking about him. But I am angry that Ron would use that as an excuse to treat you horribly. That is not good, whether it was intentional or not. We have the rest of our lives to grieve but we shouldn't let it ruin our relationships."

Hermione got up and walked over to her and bent down hugging her as Ginny cried in her chair. "I agree. This is what I have been trying to say all along. I am glad you understand, and please don't hate me." Ginny hugged her tighter " I could never hate you. You are my sister and you will always be my sister. I love you Hermione." Hermione handed her a tissue and smiled, "I love you too Ginny. Please don't feel bad about any of this. I promise you I do not think any differently of you. I am not upset. Besides I have this thing going on with Harry and..." She trailed off and instantly covered her mouth realizing that she was talking to Harry's ex girlfriend. Hermione blushed and cleared her throat. Ginny's mouth was open in shock. "Yyyou, you and Harry? Dating?" Hermione's next words came out in a rush of nerves " I I wasn't thinking, and for a moment I forgot you..."Ginny smiled, "I am just surprised and a little hurt that you did not tell me this sooner. You know that him and I have been over for a long time now.. But I thought you only loved him as a brother." Hermione took a deep breath to calm her nerves, " I thought so too. I am very sorry that you had to find out like this. You deserve way better. I know that you and him are just friends now but still. You are important to me. You are family."

Ginny smiled and sighed with relief. "You are important to me too. Apology accepted even though there is no need for one. I hope however, that you will forgive me for being so nosy to begin with. Harry can date whomever he wants, and so can you. I am happy for you both. I ended things with him because I fell in love with Neville. Yes, we went on a date together back when we were students at Hogwarts. But that was more as friends. My feelings for him didn't happen until after I graduated." Hermione released the breath she did not know she was holding, "Well that can happen. Life is unpredictable that way."

Ginny smiled, "Yeah life is unpredictable. I really hope that you and Harry are happy. I mean that. Tell him that I know, and now he can stop avoiding me. I wont tell Ron either unless you want me to?" Hermione shook her head, "When the time is right, I will tell him." Ginny nodded and hugged her again. "It is so good to see you Hermione. Please do not be a stranger. Lets get together soon and do something. Just us. Girls night out or something." Hermione grinned, "I would love that."

Ginny grinned back "Then that is settled". Her smile faded some and nerves showed. By the way...Hermione...I...I'm pregnant." Hermione jumped out of her seat in excitement. "Oh my goodness! Wow! Congratulations!" She hugged her again tight mouthing a sorry for the volume of her voice to an annoyed patron.

...

Later that evening, Hermione stepped in her front door at the end of her work day. "Harry? Are you there? I'm home." Harry stepped out of the bedroom dressed up for a fancy night. Hermione smiled at him, "You look handsome." Harry smiled and kissed her, and then spoke, "I got you something. Go in our room. It is hanging on our closet door. I'll be waiting here. Our reservation is in an hour and a half. You have plenty of time to get ready. Where I am taking you is special but it isn't far."

Hermione stepped into their room and instantly noticed the beautiful red dress hanging on their closet door. She picked it up admiring it before going to get ready for their celebration date.

...

An hour later when she was all showered and ready to go, they were on their way to the restaurant. Harry kept looking over at her as he drove the short distance to the restaurant. "You are always so gorgeous. But you are even more so right now with that dress. The dress suits you. I made a great choice there." Hermione giggled, "Yes you did. Thank you. I love it and I love you!" Harry smiled, "I love you too Hermione. Anyways, how was your day?" Hermione decided to wait until later to tell him about Ginny's visit and news. She said to herself 'I will tell him, I will'.

She took a deep breath, "My day was productive as always. But it was long without you there."

Harry laughed, "That's my girl."

Hermione laughed with him. "How about you?

Harry sighed, "You know the usual stuff at the shop. A few parents came by to pick up replacement wands for their children, and sent them off to Hogwarts. But other than that, uneventful."

Hermione sighed, "I notice that more people are careless with their wands and have to replace them more often than others. But who am I to judge right?"

Harry laughed, "I sometimes judge but I do it silently or it would not be good for business, you know?"

Hermione laughed with him. They spent the rest of the short car ride talking about their day. Hermione still left out the Ginny part because she did not feel like it was the right time to talk about it. Harry walked over to her side of the car and opened the door for her. He took her hand and together they held hands as they walked into the restaurant, and were lead to their reserved table.

They sat down and Hermione fidgeted with her dress, smoothing it out. Harry sighed, "Okay what is going on Hermione? I know you are hiding something from me. I could tell because of your body language which also makes you a terrible liar. Come on and spill. You know that I will find out eventually, so you might as well tell me now." Hermione looked him straight in the eyes and took a deep breath. "I wanted tonight to be about us Harry. I was not lying. I was only leaving out parts of my day to tell you later after our celebratory meal. Honestly. This is the truth, I promise you. But since you insist..."

Hermione told him everything about Ginny's visit and what she learned from her. "I know your feelings for her are complicated. I was not sure how you would take this, so I was going to wait to tell you. I...I'm so sorry." Hermione looked down feeling terrible for telling him on their special night, despite him insisting. She just wanted things to be perfect that night for them. Harry smiled, "Don't worry Hermione. I am okay. I'm surprised but I'm happy for them. I'm okay. Really, I am. I am glad you saw her, and are making an effort to include her in your life. I have been busy and not intentionally cutting her out. Okay a little intentionally he said at Hermione's facial expression as she caught him lying. Things have just gotten too awkward and difficult. But I will make an effort to include her in my life too if that is what you want."

Hermione smiled, "You have always been very kind Harry. You should only do things because you want to. Not because you feel like you have to. Some situations are different and we need to compromise when it comes to that. But this..This..Just think about it. Do not decide now." She kissed him.

They ordered their food, pasta and apple cider. They weren't big drinkers and decided on the non alcoholic beverages instead. They talked more during their meal about themselves and what each of them wanted. This is where Hermione brought up wanting to move to the Wizarding World, getting a job there, and enrolling in school there too. She brought up that it would be easier for him with his job too. If he agreed, they would need to start planning soon but also not rush it. They told some funny stories too. There were also times where they just sat silently staring into each other's eyes lovingly. With the lighting in the room just right and the soft classical music in the background, it felt magical. At times they felt like the only two people in the room. They stopped their staring to order a piece of chocolate cake to share. When their cake arrived, Hermione playfully wiped a little icing on Harry's nose giggling. They both laughed at her adorableness.

An elderly couple nearby noticed them and smiled. "Young love", they said watching them.

After their dessert, Harry got inspired. "Common lets dance!" Hermione laughed, "We will be the only ones dancing Harry." Harry got up and walked to her side of the table, and took her hands pulling her up saying "I don't care." Harry lead her through the beautiful soft piano piece.

Harry and Hermione stopped dancing as soon as they heard a commotion at the other side of the restaurant. They turned and began to walk toward the commotion to investigate. A young man was yelling at a waiter saying that he brought the wrong food for him, and his friends. He was knocking the plates of food on the ground making a big mess. "I'll have you fired you worthless muggle!" This young loud man had white blond hair and pale skin. He reminded Harry and Hermione of someone they once knew whom also had the arrogant and self entitled attitude as well. The muggle waiter finally recovered from his shock of the behavior and he was angry. "Who sir do you think you are?! I'll have you thrown out of here! You are disturbing everyone here, and I will not have that in my father's restaurant!" The arrogant young man huffed and sneered at the waiter, "I am Angus Malfoy! Do not bother. We are leaving. This place is a dump and so are you." He stood up and motioned for his friends to do the same.

Malfoy? Harry looked at Hermione. He called out to Angus. "You said your name is Malfoy. Are you related to Draco Malfoy?"

"Who in the bloody hell wants to know?! He looked at Harry. Oh...He recognized him because Harry is famous in the Wizarding World. "Harry Potter...You are Harry Potter...Well I did not think I would ever meet you...Nor did I care if I ever did. Draco is my cousin. He doesn't like you but he is grateful for you saving his life back at Hogwarts. I don't like you at all or your mudblood girfriend that I assume is Hermione Granger. Draco loathes her."

Harry stepped forward to attack him but Hermione grabbed him. "Harry please just ignore him. Please lets just go." Harry was shaking with rage.

Angus laughed and so did his friends. "Bossy little thing isn't she? Angus' voice was full of hate. I do not believe that mudbloods and muggles should exist. It should just be pure bloods. We deserve to rule. However this mudblood is actually kind of okay to look at if you can ignore that she is a mudblood. He was staring at her cleavage. He was trying to make her squirm. Hermione felt sick and violated. Harry tried again to go at Angus but Hermione kept holding him back. "It's okay. I am okay." Angus and his friends laughed some more. "Don't worry. I still hate mudbloods and would never go after them..Not in that way at least he muttered."

Angus laughed and him and his friends started to leave. "Change is coming. You just wait. It is coming." He called over his shoulder. Angus pushed another waiter into a table knocking over the food and causing another big mess before he walked out the door.

Harry shook his head, "I don't like this. I don't like this at all!" Hermione rubbed his shoulder. "Harry he was just talk. Do not worry about him."

Harry shook his head. "I am not so sure about that Hermione. He is up to something. You heard him. The last person to think like him was...was Voldemort. I will mention him to the Minister for Magic. He must be warned."

Hermione sighed. She hugged his arm, and her head was on his shoulder trying to comfort him. "Okay. That is a good plan. I will go with you. If they hear from two people, we have a better chance of being taken seriously. We will go first thing in the morning."

Harry kissed her and she kissed back wrapping her arms around him. "Thank you for supporting me in this Hermione."

Hermione hugged him tight, "I will always be there for you. You can always count on me."

They walked back to their seats, and Harry paid their bill soon after. They decided to take a walk in a nearby park before they head home. They walked holding hands and enjoying the quiet for a while. The quiet did not last. They heard the familiar voices of Angus and his gang ahead of them. They hid behind a tree listening to them. Angus was talking about his hate for muggles and mudbloods. He was talking about Harry Potter and about how wimpy he thought he was. "He lets his girlfriend control him like that. What a loser. That girl will be the first one I take down when I succeed in my plans. There is no stopping me. We have followers and the number of followers grows everyday. The plan is already in motion, and not even Harry Potter can stop me! Things will run the way they are supposed to be run. I will be better than the Dark Lord ever was. Lets go. We have work to do. They walked away laughing and talking...

Harry was breathing hard in frustration and anger. "I told you they were up to no good! This is not good. This is not good at all."

Hermione took a deep breath and spoke in a small whispered voice, "I agree with you on this one Harry. What are we going to do?"

Harry pulled at his hair in frustration and cursed under his breath. "I don't know! We definitely should contact the Minister right now. I cannot wait another minute. Lets go!"

Hermione nodded, and together they rushed off.

They sped all the way to their destination.

Hermione held his hand as they waited to see the Minister, "I'm here for you always."

Harry pulled her close and kissed her deeply.

"Harry? Hermione?!", Ron Weasley whom worked for the Minister was working a late shift, and just happened to be walking by when he saw them. He stood there staring at them white faced.

Harry and Hermione hurriedly pulled apart.

"Oh boy..."Hermione said blushing deeply.

Until next time..

Will the minister believe them when they tell them about Angus and his friends? Will they be able to stop Angus before he does any damage? Or will they be too late? Find out in the next chapters. So Ron found out about them in the most awkward way. How will he react to finding out his best friend is dating his ex whom he is apparently not over yet? You will find out very soon. I am writing these as soon as I possibly can. I hope that you all enjoy them. I am new to this and will continue to improve as I write more chapters. I am only getting started. Thank you for reading.
