"NOT SURE IF I'M GOING TO MISS this place as much as I'm going to miss bothering Snape." Theodore Nott sighed with a smirk as his eyes wandered around the Great Hall.

The last day of school is a day that most students look forward to. This was simply because Summer break gave them a few months to themselves.

Graduation was what was on most of the Seventh years minds. Their seventh year ending signifies the beginning of adulthood which most didn't want.

"Draco." The boys attention was on the bowl of fruit in front of him, not paying any attention to what his friends were saying. "Dracooo~ Are you okay?"

Blond strands of his hair snapped in his friends direction as his grey eyes met their concerned expressions. "I'm fine." He breathed out. "Just thinking about what Mum said."

It had been a week since Draco had received a lecture from Narcissa about getting a job. Her exact words were "You're old enough to get a job now and as long as you live under my roof, you're helping with rent."

He knew he was going to have to get a job at one point in his life, he just didn't expect it to be during the Summer where he and his friends had plans.

"About getting a job?" He nodded his head. "There's a lot of jobs in the Muggle World." Dracos lip curled at Blaise's suggestion. "You could babysit, cook, clean, be a clown-

"Draco does that for free."

"Shut it Pansy."

"Both of you shut it." Theo chuckled before noticing something, his chuckle dying down. "What has Parks got today?" He breathed out, knowing this was going to happen.

The four friends turned their heads to see a group of students surrounding Andrew Parks as his owl dropped the package next to his breakfast. Andrew Parks──the rich pretty boy that could get any girl to fawn over him. He was in his Seventh year and just like Draco, he walked around like he owned the place which he could make possible with just an owl to his Mother.

"Oh please, Cass. Parks is only popular because of his Mother." They heard the voice of Daphne Greengrass explain to a housemate.

"No lie there." Theo smirked, tearing his gaze away from Andrews many parcels. "Mrs Parks is hot. I'd take my chance on her if she wasn't married."

Mrs Parks was a twenty five year old woman who was well known in the Wizarding World for her many acts of kindness and her looks. She was truly breathtaking. Some would even say her features were exquisitely erotic. With her {y/h/c} hair and {y/e/c} eyes, most would assume the lady was still a teenager which Draco last saw her as.

Everyone paled into the significance of Y/N Parks.

It was a blurry memory but Draco could vaguely recall Y/N being the most popular girl at Hogwarts when he was in his First Year. They rarely talked, only passing by each other in the halls. In her time at Hogwarts, she was a prefect and had the job of guiding the younger kids who also fancied her──Draco being one of them. Although, he couldn't bring himself to have a full conversation with her──feeling as though she would think he was weird or annoying.

After her Seventh year of Hogwarts, she got married to Eric Parks and had two kids. Sarah Parks and of course, Andrew Parks.

"According to this week's issue for Witch Weekly," Pansy slid the purple article in front of them. "She's not Mrs Parks anymore."

In big, bold letters was the title of the article which read:

Y/N PARKS
DIVORCE RUMOURS
CONFIRMED?

"Mum reads Witch Weekly. Don't tell me you actually believe that rubbish."

"So what if I do? Plus, she even mentioned it in her latest interview with Rita Skeeter."

"That lady's always twisting people's words."

With a desire to win this argument, Pansy continued. "Mrs.Parks is one of the most highly respected witches in the Wizarding World. Lying and making false rumors about her is equivalent to having a death wish."

That seemed to shut them up.

HE MURMURED REMINDERS UNDER his breath as he made his way through the crowded train station, his grey eyes glued to his polished black shoes with a desire to get through this packed place without having to start a conversat-

"Omph-" He grumbled as he had fell to the concrete floor, immediately checking for any cuts.

"My apologies."

You should be sorry, Draco thought as his gaze travelled to see who had bumped into him.

In front of him was a tall, slim man. His dark brown locks had betrayed the hat on his head and we're instead framing his porcelain skin that had a tinge of pink. A dark brown coat, that was very similar to Professor Lupin's, was placed over his broad shoulders. He looked to be about thirty.

Draco stayed on the floor as he began to collect his belongings. The man towering over him didn't seem to calm how frightened he was. He nodded the guy off before picking up his pace to meet his Mother.

"Wait!"

Not this guy again.

"Sir!"

Is he talking to me?

He stopped in his tracks, turning around to see the same man he had bumped into. "I think you've forgotten something."

A piece of parchment was held in between his index and middle finger as he showed the Malfoy. And like he had predicted, it was his. "I--uh--thank you?"

"You're welcome. Although, I couldn't help, but hear that you were," he cleared his throat, hesitating to continue. "Uh--looking for a job."

Draco turned red, out of anger and embarrassment. Who is this man?
"Look-"

"You see, I'm William Jones and I work for the Parks family, perhaps you know them." Of course I know them. "Mr.Parks has been looking to hire someone and-"

"William!" Both of them looked over the man's shoulder to see Andrew Parks waving the brunette over. He pointed to the watch on his wrist then to driver.

"Oh, of course--the kids need me. Look, here's the address, please send your response through an owl."

With that, the man left leaving Draco to come to a decision that he immediately knew.

"What was that all about?" Behind Draco stood his Mother who gave him a welcoming hug. He returned the hug with a bright smile.

"I think I just found myself a Summer Job..."
