Hermione sat in front of her vanity. She was done with her shower and was now sitting in front of her mirror in her towel. Her hair was wet and over one shoulder, Ginny came in to the room with a smile on her face and Snape’s letter in her right hand. She was supposed to be helping Hermione get ready for her date with Blaise but so far all she had done was read all of the letters between her and Blaise and her and Snape. She stood behind Hermione with her mouth opened wide and her eyes bugging out of her head.
“What?” Hermione asked as she rubbed her rose-scented lotion over her legs.
“Have you even read this?” Ginny asked still with the look of shock on her face.
“Yes” Hermione said as she bravely opened her towel and started to rub the lotion over her stomach “I have…why?”
“Okay” Ginny said shaking her head “Apparently, I have to read this aloud!” She reopened the letter she was still holding
“’Dearest Hermione,
I found your letter to be very well written and yet I expected it at some point. My thoughts on women in the work world…okay. Some people say that a woman should only be professors or healers, but the thing is that every single job in the world has an area that women will be better at than men will. In the same sense there was areas that a man will be better at than a woman. I don’t think there is a ‘woman’s role’ in a marriage, everything is 50/50 from cooking dinner and cleaning the house to repairs and raising children.
To me one sex is not better than another merely because of a different body part and really if you want to think about strength then a woman really is stronger than a man. Women carry babies for nine months, push them from their bodies and then go on with their lives. A man however can be kicked in the balls and is out for the count…we are truly the weaker sex.
As for kids…I never really wanted them but the new law states that I have to have at least one. I think that together we could have an amazingly magical and talented children. I will leave the number of children up to you, but I think that we need to see how the pregnancy goes and how the baby comes out.
Sincerely yours,
Severus Snape’”
“Yeah…and…?” Hermione asked as she stood and made her way over to the bed where she simple little black dress was awaiting for her.
“So?!” Ginny looked like she was about to faint “Hermione…” She sat down and looked at her seriously “You know how I feel about Snape. How Ron feels about him and Harry…oh and the rest of the world I might add” Hermione glared at her “But you are seeing a different man and this man that you have been conversing with is a lot like you”
“Okay” Hermione said “So, tomorrow I will be going on a date with him and then on Monday…” She took a shaky breath and tried to swallow past the lump in her throat “On Monday I will make my decision”
“Put the dress on” Ginny said, she watched the woman before her doing as she’d been told and then the redhead zipped up the back. Ginny had really been lucky, she and Harry had been married the month before the law went in to effect. Ron was currently on a date with Luna Lovegood as she had chosen him and they had been writing to each other for a month.
She tapped the top of Hermione’s head and her hair dried out. Ginny pulled a tiny black headband in to her hair and put a few potions in to make her hair remain curly but be softer and less frizzy. Then Hermione put in a pair of diamond studs that Harry had given her for her birthday along with the matching diamond necklace and turned to show Ginny. The dress was a spaghetti strapped and stopped just above her knee with a flowy skirt and she wore black heels. She had to admit that when Ginny showed her the shoes she had been against them but they did make her legs look amazing. She sat back down at her vanity and started to put on some light make-up but stopped and just stared at her reflection.
“I’m going to be meeting my possible husband” She whispered more to herself than the other woman in the room. Her lip started to tremble and her breathing turned in to pants as she lowered her head to her arms.
“It’s going to be okay” Ginny whispered, rubbing her back in soothing circles “It’s not the most traditional route in relationships but…do something crazy for once” Hermione nodded slowly and raised her eyes to meet the light green stare of her best friends.

Blaise was wearing a suit and greeted Hermione at the door of the fancy magical restaurant called The Crimson Fairy. He led her to a secluded table on the second floor on a balcony overlooking a beautiful forest. A little house-elf in a pretty crimson uniform brought over some wine for them to enjoy before their dinner. Hermione looked at him and waited for him to say something, he hadn’t spoken a word since complimenting her looks when he saw her at the door.
“I hope that your day was productive” He said.
“It was” She answered with a smile “A lot of research and paperwork but it’s worth it as it can be very fun work”
“You work for the Malfoy’s, right?” He asked taking a sip of his wine right away but it didn’t hide the grimace that graced his handsome features.
“I do” She answered.
“I think I should be honest right from the start” He told her and she felt her warning flags rise up “If we get married, I don’t mind you working but I don’t want you to work for the Malfoy’s”
“If we get married” Hermione said “It won’t be your say on if I work for them or not”
“They are my competition in the business world” He snarled “How will it look if my wife is working for them?”
“Blaise” She said “No offense but I love my job, I love working with Lucius and Draco, I love listening to them bitch about their wives and making them see their wife’s side of the story…I will not allow you to take that from me and if that’s what you’re offering then maybe I should leave right now”
“Hermione!” He grabbed her hand and stood up with her “Please, don’t leave. I’m sorry, it’s been a rough day and I’m a little…short with people but I don’t want you to think that I will treat you like this a lot, please…don’t leave”
“Fine” She sat down and glared at him, he looked at her and sighed before he chuckled a little.
“When we were in school I used to see you get angry with Potter and Weasley and storm out of the great hall” He told her with a smile “I always wondered what it would be like to have you look at me with those anger-filled eyes…I have to say that it’s more upsetting than I thought it would be”
“Can we please just start this over?” Hermione asked.
“I would like that” He answered “So, tell me what I could expect from living with you and being married to you?”
“Well” Hermione said “I go to work every morning for nine and I am usually home at five-thirty but no later than six-thirty. I tend to bring home paperwork that needs to be finished and work on it in bed before turning in” She smiled a little apologetically “When I get home from work I usually feed my cat, make dinner and eat, read a little of whatever book I’ve been reading then I take a shower or bath and climb in to bed to finish some papers for the next day and fall asleep”
“What about your days off?” He asked.
“I like to sleep a little later than normal” She answered “Then I sit outside in my backyard with a cup of tea and some toast, when I’ve had my fill I work in my gardens, clean the house, have lunch with my parents in the muggle world” She ignored his look of dislike at the reminder of the muggle world “When I go home I like to read for a few hours and just ignore the outside world, then I have dinner and do some social planning then go to bed and on Sunday’s I have dinner at the Weasley house as I’ve been doing since school ended” She saw another look of distaste go across his features “What about you?”
“I go to work at promptly eight in the morning” He said “I don’t usually come home any sooner than nine at night as I am usually spending time with new or old clients” She frowned “I usually work on cases when I get home and have my house-elves bring me dinner in my office. On my days off I play Quidditch with Draco, go to parties thrown by clients of mine and do research on whatever case I’m working on at the time”
“So how would children work in to this world?” She asked “I want to remain working and since you work so much…bringing a kid in to that doesn’t sound very good”
“We’ll have house-elves, of course” He scoffed “They can raise the baby when you’re working and after that…”
“I can do it, right?!” She seethed “You are the perfect liar, Zabini” She leaned back and glared at him “The man in those letters…he was the one I wanted to meet, to go on a date with and maybe even marry someday but you…you are not that person”
“Hermione I just…” He started.
“Tell me something” She said suddenly leaning closer to him “Say we are courting and I want you to come in to the muggle world to have lunch with my parents and I will you come?” She glared “Or even better, if I invite you to dinner with the Weasley’s would you come?”
“Hermione…I…” He started, faltering and trying again and again.
“If you were going to give me an honest answer” Hermione said with tears filling her eyes “You wouldn’t have hesitated”
“But…” He tried and Hermione shook her head at him downing the rest of her wine and standing up.
“I had high hopes for you, Blaise” She informed “But if you were able to be honest to my face you wouldn’t have to think quickly for an answer to make me happy”
“Please don’t…” He stood.
“Good night” She said firmly and walked away.

Ginny and Harry were having a serious make-out session on Hermione’s couch when she came through the Floo. She had tears in her eyes and as usual when she cried her nose was running like a faucet. Ginny pushed Harry to the floor and jumped up to find out what happened, Hermione tried to force a smile on her face but instead she plopped down heavily on the couch and looked at the redhead. Ginny motioned for Harry to go away and after a quick kiss on the lips he went home through the Floo network.
“You’ve only been gone for an hour and a half” Ginny pointed out “What happened?” She looked her over “Did he try anything…did he touch you?” She started to get angry “If he even so much as called you a bad name…I will hex his balls off…that little bastard will sing soprano for the rest of his damn life!”
“It’s not like that” Hermione laughed a little to herself “I just…” She told her everything that happened “Then I left” She finished “Did I overreact?”
“I don’t think so” Ginny said and Hermione tried to disagree with her “Hey, you don’t have months to get to know one another on an intimate level…you need to know who you want to marry on Monday” Hermione sobbed aloud “You had a date tonight with Blaise, a date tomorrow with Snape a day of deliberation on Sunday and then…on Monday you have to make a decision” She smiled and hugged her “You don’t have the luxury of time so you need to think about the future”
“Well” Hermione shook her head “I think it’s pretty obvious at this point who I’m going to have to choose”
“Maybe the date tomorrow with Snape will be fun” Ginny said “It in the morning right…could last all day!”
“Maybe” Hermione said doubtfully “But I don’t think so, come on…this is Snape”
“A man with enough passion to hate someone for years” Ginny said “And to love someone just as long, he may not be the man you always thought he was”
“I hope it goes well” Hermione said “Thank you…and please tell me that you guys didn’t have sex on my couch”
“Nah” She smiled “You came home before we could” She laughed as she dodged the hand that tried to smack her rear.
“Okay” Hermione said “Mrs. Potter” Ginny grinned “Go home and continue making me some nieces and/or nephews that I can spoil”
“Not a problem!” Ginny laughed and Floo’d away. Hermione took her shoes off and sighed heavily before going in to the kitchen and pouring herself a big glass of wine and sitting down with her book.
A/N: I wrote this a few different times. The first time Blaise was so perfect I wanted to date him and there was no way she would have picked Snape. The second time I again made him too sweet and OOC so this time I tried to look at him as an ambitious young business man that isn’t ready to be a husband or father yet. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
