The Business Charmer

4- Morning Coffee

"Good Morning Hermione, you look lovely today, today is a beautiful day isnt it? yeah i thought so too, how is that cute cat of yours doing? did you hear that Jack from the third floor was caught watching porn at work? disgusting eh" - parvati greeted Hermione in the elevator in an never ending chatter that only meant something

"what is wrong" hermione asked in a knowing tone

"i swear to God i had nothing to do with it, i tried to stop them but they continued to carry the stuff away" she said trying to prevent Hermione from entering her office

"where is my computer??!!" Hermione screamed looking at her empty desk with wide eyes "where is it? burglars came in?? what happened?"

Parvati nervously shifted her weight from one foot to the other and stuttered "th-they took it...up-upstairs"

"upstairs? what do you mean?" - she asked confused

"Draco requested to bring your stuff to his office... he set up a desk for you in it" she said dragging her words, lowering her tone as much as possible trying to calm the brunettes nerves

"WHAT??" hermione snapped giving a small kick to the floor "uuughhh... i swear to god im gonna kill him, as if i hadn't had enough of him this morning" she said massaging her temples

"...this morning?" parvati repeated with an mischievous tone and lifting one eyebrow

Hermione opened her eyes widely realizing what she just said. Shit. no one was supposed to know... now rumors would be spreading all over the place.

"look, i'll tell you only because you won't let me live in peace if i don't " she said lowering her voice in almost a whisper " but you can't tell anyone, and i mean it. Anyone"

Parvati looked like a kid in front of a thousand candies, the idea of a secret or a rumor was what made her shine with excitement, she lean in with eager eyes and asked softly "you slept with him, didn't you?"

"OH MY GOD PARVATI, what do you think i am?" hermione snapped at the terrible suggestion to which Parvati lost all interest

"you are right.. for a second i thought you were the kind of person that does fun stuff.. and yeah sex is fun in case you didn't know" she said to hermione's disapproving eyes "but ok... go on... continue telling me this not so interesting information" she said dismissively

hermione ignored her offensive comment and started telling her the events of earlier in the morning.

she was still dreaming of unicorns and green lands when an insisting knocking woke her up

"what the hell" she thought to herself looking at her alarm clock that indicated that she still had an hour of sleep before getting up for work, then why was she awake?

then she heard it again, the knocking. it was definitely someone at her door. Who in heavens comes at this time in the morning to knock her freaking door.. if Old Mrs. Pei from number 7 is the one disturbing her sleep to ask her if she saw Mr. Paws around - the Old ladies cat that died 4 years ago- she is gonna lose it.

"im coming..!" she yelled half asleep while getting out of bed and turning the lights of the hallway on. She removed the chain attached to the door and quickly turned the dorknoob opening the door widely "Mrs Pei you need to take your pills, you know tha..." she stopped mid sentence adjusting her vision, not believing her own eyes.

"so i wasn't wrong when i said that you wear oversized tshirts for pjs" a tall, clean shaved, perfectly dressed malfoy said while standing at her doorway with an amused smile on his lips
