The Assistant: The Ferret Vs. The Weasel

(Draco POV)
I met Blaise at our favorite coffee shop and sat down at a quiet booth in the corner.
"So what's up?" I asked him.

"Huh?"

"Pansy?"

Blaise grunted at him and said,"She's hot. And was freaking amazing on the battlefield. She survived through the thick of the war.... just like us. She knows the burdens we carry with us everyday because she has them too."

Those final words hit Draco like a truck and he immediately felt guilt for those he had killed and for those who had been killed on his orders. He even felt guilt for those he had no connection with killing, but the guilt was there because he was still on the side of the evil when they died.

"Well I promise you I will never get back with her again. It was a fling and honestly it was pointless."

"Good, now can you tell me why you came home with coffee all over your shirt?"

"Yeah, so I was walking out of the store someone had a nice fresh cup of hot, very hot, coffee in their hand. As I was walking out I slammed into Granger who spilled all of her coffee on my shirt. I felt like a complete and utter idiot for not cursing her out then in there."

"That's 'cause you are a complete and utter idiot." Blaise said patting me on the back and stating that in a sorta sympathetic way.

"I hate you."

"I know!" He said cheerily.

Hermione POV

The next day Hermione woke up to a warm September day so , she decided to wear a canary yellow dress with red flowers printed on it. She paired it with red heels and let her hair fall over her shoulders alone. She decided to put the same kind of yellow to match her dress since to her it didn't look professional.

She was humming to myself at the office waiting for Draco to show up.

"Whatcha singin'?"

"Oh! Hello Mr.Malfoy, nothing just bored. There isn't anything to tend to today. How about we go grab some coffees and sweets for the workers today?"

"Sounds good!"

At the bakery we bought two sugar cookies decorated as orange leaves for up and coming fall and a box of pastries for the office.

"Granger...Can I ask you something...?"

"Sure Malfoy, what is it?"

"What happened to the Weasel?"

"Ah him yeah. Well he went off to Egypt to go visit some of his family while they mourn Fred."

"Hmph well. The longer he stays in Egypt the better."

"Why you don't work in his department."

"Yes, but I work with you. If I work with you I see him. He's bound to pop into our office room one time of another."

Hermione nodded and sighed while standing up.

"Let's get the sweets and go. I have to set up some of Ron's stuff before he comes back."

"When is he coming back?"

Hermione chuckled to herself and started walking to the door as Draco bought the sweet with some money she gave him.

"Tomorrow."

Draco left the change and groaned as he rushed out the door.

When I woke up I was relieved to remember that I didn't have work today since it was Saturday. I put on some jeans and a t-shirt that says "Gryffindor" and some black boots.
