Hermoine sighed, as she stared at the clock by her bedside for the thousandth time the blur of numbers didn’t even register with her. Later that day she knew she would have to face the humiliation of her co-workers who would be reading the Daily Prophet and find out the awful truth. It would be written on their faces, the pity that they would have for her along with the hushed whispers that would spring up once she walked away. It wasn’t just humiliating for her it was the knowledge that she one who prided herself on being the smartest one of the Golden Trio had missed the obvious that was in front of her. Ron Weasley didn’t love her anymore and had chosen instead an insignificant girl from Hufflepuff that was 4 years his junior! She was deluding herself, clearly, it wasn’t the fact that the woman came from Hulfflepuff (well maybe a little) but rather that she missed the obvious signs that Ron had been cheating on her. Hermoine turned her head to stare up at the creamy rose ceiling of her bedroom, the dull throbbing behind her eyes from unshed tears giving way to an increasingly painful headache. She wanted to scream, she wanted to cry and yet there she lay in her bed doing none of those things.
“It will be different tomorrow,” she told herself, “tomorrow things will change.”
Draco ignored the headline news that was his usual routine in favor for the delicious scandal that covered most of the second and third page. There was even a picture of Hermoine standing in a beautiful off shoulder mermaid style wedding dress watching Ron walk away from her with another woman hanging onto his arm. It was the scandal that had been on everyone’s lips when he came into work that morning at the Ministry of Magic. As Minister, Draco took great pains to know everything before it was published in the papers or whispered by those who worked in the Ministry itself. It was how he stayed ahead of the game, ahead of those who would see him fail or yet, have even tried to take away the position that had been hard earned. As he sat there in his black leather chair, it was becoming increasingly clear that an informant had failed at their job and would need to be replaced sooner rather than later as he read on. He made it a point to keep eyes on the Golden Trio since the fall of Lord Voldemort and the increasing fame and power that the Trio held. The power that they welded could easily be used to remove him from his post if that was their intention. The fact that he didn’t know about Ron leaving Hermoine at the alter disturbed him, just as much as she did though those feelings he made sure to never show to anyone. As he picked up his pristine cup of hot Earl Grey tea, he glanced back at the picture of Hermoine standing there at the alter a look of utter heartbreak ruining the rather exquisite picture of beauty she made. It wasn’t until a knock at his door broke him of his reverie into the present, he lowered the page and closed it back to the headline on top of papers that he would rather keep from prying eyes.
“Come in” he said, in a clear controlled voice and with that he took a sip of the now cold beverage in hand.
Hermoine looked out the window to the lovely day that unfolded before her, she knew that outside the day was surprisingly warm for a spring day. Her grey turtleneck sweater was rather uncomfortably warm, with the sun overhead melting away residual snow that hid in the shadows of buildings. She was grateful that she had the foresight to pull her thick chestnut brown hair into a tight bun at the base of her neck the added layer would’ve had her melting in the sweater. How she would kill to have Ginny by her side, but sadly, she knew that her best friend was out again on maternity leave preparing to give birth to her fourth child with Harry. She felt a pang of jealousy at the thought of how happy Ginny was and yet, her own life was painfully empty. She glanced down depressingly at the paperwork of a case she knew she would need to bring to the attention of the Minister. Being a lawyer in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement was a fulfilling work for her usually, but today she was listless and couldn’t summon her usual gusto. After lunch, she decided she would go home early and return the next day ready to tackle the increasing number of cases. With a set purpose in mind, Hermoine snatched up her purse and headed out for an early lunch.
Draco watched Hermoine as she strolled out onto the curb, coming to a halt as she waited for traffic to slow down so she could cross the street. Her face was slender, while tendrils of hair escaped the severe bun that held the abundance of hair back to display a pale face. Her eyes were shadowed while her lips, a usual light pink were colorless and the shapeless grey sweater she wore did no justice to the curves that were displayed, while the dark blue jeans were wrinkled and hid the rest of her from view. As she crossed the street, Draco lithely stood up from his window table, and carelessly threw crisp pounds onto the table more than a sufficient amount to cover his tab. He quickened his pace, once outside of the bustling pub, shoving at those obstructed his path on the sidewalk, he couldn’t afford to lose sight of Hermoine in the growing lunch crowd that was looking for appealing restaurant’s to eat a quick meal. He managed to grab hold of Hermoine right before she walked into oncoming traffic harrowingly missing a car that flew around the curb. Draco felt her fall back into him, as they both fell onto cold snow that had yet to melt from the afternoon sun. Hermoine looked up at him with fire in her eyes a quick insult dying suddenly dying on her tongue as she realized who it was that she fell onto.
Draco smiled down at her, “Want to grab a bite to eat?”
