"Give me my Romeo and,
When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in Little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine,
That the world will be in love with the night"
~ Juliet Capulet.
Hermione walked briskly towards her office,
Smiling at the solemn faces, staring sadly at her as she skipped by, ready for work.
"Walker, What's going on? Is someone leaving?"she asked, eyebrows raised at her work colleague.
He frowned at her and walked away, avoiding her gaze.
Kingsley Shaklebolt stepped towards her, wringing his wrists nervously.
"Hermione, So sorry, but you've been replaced" he muttered, loosing his confidence with the young fierce war hero.
"Replaced?!"she squealed, outraged. "What do you mean I've been replaced?!"
"Well,"Kingsley mumbled, sweat droplets tuning down his forehead.
"We've replaced you with Madam Vincent, she's from France, and had some great ideas, she showed us a presentation yesterday-"
"But that's not fair, I had a day off yesterday.."she whispered.
"Look Hermione, I can't send her away now, she's got the job, you where just a dying flame in this business, pack up your stuff, and go home" and with that, he walked away, not looking back.
Hermione felt tears prick at the corners of her eyes, she loved this job, she helped the ministry create the best things they've done in a long while.
She looked down at the floor, eyebrows furrowed, fists clenched.
"Stuff this job,"she cried, people sitting at their individual desks staring at her.
"I was going to leave anyway.. probably"
And Hermione stormed into her office, throwing everything in the cardboard boxes that where waiting for her and rushed out, tears streaming down her face.
Her work was her life.
She'd done so much for it, so much.
And now she was leaving for some girl who had an idea, Hermione rolled her eyes.
She appeared in her apartment in Muggle London, and flopped onto the couch, bursting into tears and screaming into the throw pillows.
This was it, time for a new start.
New job. New me, she thought, smiling to herself.
And the first thing she thought as she sat up, watching the cars zoom by in the windows,
Malfoy Enterprises.
