(Severus Snape)

(Draco POV)
Granger took me to this place and she said that we were going to get sushi. I mean what even is sushi? Sueshe? Why are we suing a woman? I didn't sign up for this either! I thought this is when we have a lunch break! She's CRAZY!

"This is where they make the sushi Draco." Hermione said

Then me being me I just had to blurt out, "But why are we suing a woman? What did she do? This just looks like a muggle restaurant!"

"First off we are not suing a woman and second it is a muggle restaurant now do you want to eat it here or take it back to my office?"

"Uh, eat it here?" I replied

"Ok, just wait right here so I can get us a table,"Hermione said.

While Hermione was getting us a table I noticed that Katarina was watching me through a menu, but quickly looked away while blushing a beet red color. Then finally she came back and told me to follow our waiter. When we made it to our table I was amazed that muggles built this, but then our waiter brought me back to reality.

"Hi what can I get you two to drink?"Our waiter asked.

"I'll get the green tea please." Said Hermione.

When I looked up I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing because our waiter was the one and only Blaise Zabini wearing a bright pink apron around his waist.

He was red with anger and embarrassment as he saw Draco's face turn purple from hold back his laugh.

"Sir..... would you like anything to drink?" Blaise stated trying to hold back from punching him. He continued to bite his tongue​. Blaise pulled him over to a corner and whispered "Dude! Seriously!"

"And you questioned my job?" he said pointing to his apron.

"Shut up. I like it here its soothing and peaceful. The moneys nice too."

"Blaise, since when did you like soothing and peaceful things?!"

"Since Pansy Parkinson started working here," Blaise said revealing his truths, " now what do you want to drink?"

Draco chuckled and said "Same as the lady," and walked away while they both smirked.

Draco POV

When our food came I saw tiny colorful.....um...things wrapped in rice and some green thing.

"What's this?" I asked pointing to the colorful thing.

"That's sushi, I ordered an assortment. Right here is some salmon," she said pointing to an orangish fish, "here we have tuna and right next to it is called a California roll. It has cucumber, real crab meant, unlike every other sushi place, and avocado. Lastly, a Philadelphia roll which has cream cheese, smoked salmon, and asparagus. It also has a coat of sesame seeds on the outside," she smiled. It gave me this weird chill down my spine and I couldn't tell if I loved it or despised it.

"Wow...this all sound so good," I said trying to contain my boredom.

"Dig in." Hermione said motioning to the sushi platter that we shared.

I took one of each type of sushi and put them on plate. Then, I tried using the sticks to eat like I saw Hermione doing, but I just couldn't pick anything up with them! I Hermione smiled and she said, "Maybe you should just use a fork for now?" I nodded slightly ashamed.

"THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER TASTED," I exclaimed trying the rest of flavors and enjoying them just as much.

Hermione laughed a bubbly laugh and it gave me a sense of deep nostalgia from back at Hogwarts when I saw her laugh the same laugh with the Weasel and the bloody git Potter as I gazed at them and wished I could laugh with them too.

"I am so sorry. So so sorry." I said randomly.

"For what," Hermione stated confused.

"Everything. Everything I have ever done at Hogwarts to you. I am so so so sorry, and I understand if you don't forgive me, but I just wanted you to know I am truly sorry."

"Listen. I do forgive you because I understand why you did it, " Draco tried to speak but Hermione raised a hand to stop him so she could finish, "you didn't want to disappoint your father so you chose to be cruel to us. You think I didn't see you looking at us when Ron, Harry, and I were hanging out? Well, I did. But I haven't realised why until now."

"How did you? Ah...yes you are the brightest witch of our age. That's right."

Hermione smiled again sending another shiver down Draco's spine and then turned to eat for awhile when they heard an angered grunt and she snapped her head to the sound looking both furious and determine.

Hermione POV

"Wait here I'll be right back," I said biting my lip,"What are you doing here?!"

"Trying to make sure you don't do anything willy-nilly with MY man!"

"Katarina. All I did was take hime out for sushi becau-"

"EXACTLY!!!"

"As I was saying,"I paused to let out steam," because he has never had sushi before unlike us muggle-born he has never experienced it."

"Oh."

"There you are Katarina! Ms.Granger! What are you doing here?"

"Hello Nahesa, I was just having a little...chat with Katarina. I believe she should go on break yeah? Seems good. Ill see you in a month Kat."

"Er...uh? Im fired?!"

"SHES FIRED?!"

"No! Oh heavens no! I am just giving her a break. Actually Nahesa you can take a months leave too if you want."

"Um thank you miss, but why all of a sudden?"

"Do you not want it?"

"Of course we do!" They added in unison rather quickly.

Hermione nodded politely and then strode off back to her table with Draco.
