Hermione's house

Hermione woke up and immediately got out of bed. She needed to hurry because she had to get ready for an interview. It always took her longer to get ready for those.
"Alright." She said, getting ready to apparate. She looked at herself in the mirror one more time.

She straightened her skirt, then apparated to the ministry.

Draco's house

Draco got up and got ready for work. He combed his hair and got dressed.

(His look!)

Once he was ready, he apparate to his office and waked in. His assistant, Mabel, knocked on his door and opened it saying, "Mr. Malfoy! Good morning, I have your list of appointments scheduled for today here."
"Ah, thank you Mae." He replied, looking at the list. She left and he sat down at his desk.

10:00 Sarah's magik shoppe.
10:30 Ministry of magic, department of Magical Law Enforcement.
11:00 Willy's magical instruments.

That was all he had today. He sat down at his desk and started his paperwork.

The Ministry of Magic

Hermione knocked on the Ministers office door.
"Come in." She heard. Walking in, she said,
"Good morning minister."
"As to you. Now, I have an appointment set up for you at ten thirty with Malfoy co."
"What? Malfoy co.?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Ok."
"Is something wrong?"
"No it just.... Me and Malfoy... we aren't exactly friends."
"That's ok. This is a business meeting."
"I know. It's just going to be so awkward."
"Well, I know you can do it. Now, good luck! Your appointment is in thirty minutes."
"Right. Thank you!" She said leaving. Once she was out she rushed to her office.
"Oh no." She whispered to herself. "I wasn't planning on ever seeing Malfoy again." She sighed and picked up her stuff.
"Well. I guess I'd better leave."
And she apparated.

Malfoy co.

Draco finished his first meeting of the day early. The lady didn't like his attitude, which was good considering yesterday, so she left. Over the intercom Mabel told him the next client was here early and asked if she should send them in. He told her yes and waited.
Finally, the door of his office opened and what he saw was shocking to him.
Granger. She walked in and said,
"Hello Mr. Malfoy."
"Granger." He replied, gesturing to a seat. She sat down and just looked at him.
"Ahem." He coughed, knocking her out of the daze.
"Right. So, uh, I have a few questions for you."
"Ok."
"Right, uhm... first, please, tell me about your business."
"Are you uncomfortable Granger?"
"I'm sorry?"
"You heard me."
"Well, that's not the answer to my question, is it?"
"Granger..."
"Malfoy, please answer the question."
"Fine, I started this business because...well, I've always been interested in running a business and magical objects are interesting to me."
"Ok. Eh, now, please don't feel targeted, I ask this to everyone I interview, do you have ANY dark magic involved?"
"No. I'm not my father."
Hermione looked deep into his grey eyes. She knew he wasn't lying just by the look he had.
"Ok. Uh, any additional notes for the ministry?"
"No. But I have a question for you."
"Ok?"
"Why are you so nervous?"
"Well, I mean, last time I saw you you'd just tried to kill me, so...."
"I'm sorry."
"Whatever. It's the past."
"Then why are you so nervous?"
"Well, it kinda hard not to be."
"Oh, ok."
She got up to leave and right as the was walking to the door Draco said,
"Hey Granger!"
"Yes?"
"You look hot in green." He was now smirking.
"Well, uh, thanks!" She replied, cheeks cherry red, and left.

The ministry

One Hermione returned, she went straight to her office.
After a few minutes there was a knock on her door.
"Come in." She said. And was delighted when she saw it was Ginny.
"Oh, hey Gin!"
"Hi! Did you get the gift?"
"Yes! It's beautiful. Thanks!"
"No problem! Oh, Hey. I'm SO sorry."
"Uh, Gin, For what?"
"Ron Broke up with you a couple nights ago..?"
"Oh! Right."
"Did you forget?"
"Eh, yeah. I mean, we weren't really dating anyway,"
"Huh?"
"Well, he NEVER talked to me. He was always out of town! So you know, I kinda just... pushed him to the back of my head "
"Wow. I was expecting you to take this harder. I mean, yeah, he's a jerk but..."
"Welp."
"..."
"..."
"So, anything new?"
"Well, I just had an interesting interview."
"Ooh! With who?"
"Draco Malfoy."
"Really? Since when does he have a business?"
"It's new,"
"Was he hard on you?"
"No. He actually acted like a grown man!"
They both giggled and talked for a little while longer until Ginny had to go.

Malfoy co.

Draco couldn't stop thinking about Hermione. She had grown into a very beautiful woman.
No Draco. Granger is NOT pretty.
He kept telling himself.
A few hours later Mabel came in with a letter.
"This came for you from the ministry." She said handing it to him.
"Thanks." He replied as she walked out. Once he opened it he read,

Mr. Malfoy,
Your report has been processed and we are pleased to inform you that your business is now officially ministry approved. We hope that everything works out for you!
Sincerely,
The department of Magical law enforcement- Hermione Granger

Draco reread the letter several times. Her writing was beautiful. And her signature... chefs kiss! He got up and hung it on his cork board of achievements.

Once he finished his paperwork, he went to the lobby, told Mabel he was leaving, and apparated home.

The ministry

Hermione was done for the day. She was so tired but every time she closed her eyes to relax them, gray ones would appear on her eye lids.
She apparated home and sat on her couch. She sighed and picked up her book as she was almost done with it.
About an hour later, she finished the book and went to bed falling asleep almost instantly.
