Simply Irresistible

Ch.8

Guess Who Mystery Woman is…

The lucky woman seen on Draco Malfoy's arm as of late is none other than HERMIONE GRANGER!

If you're shocked believe me you're not the only one.

How has Draco Malfoy, bad boy of the Wizarding world snatched the newly single Princess of Light Hermione Granger?

We don't know yet but we will find out and you will all be the first to know.

Some say that they are on the rebound when their exes Sadie Rayne and Ron Weasley hooked up. But many former classmates say that the attraction has always been there hidden beneath the old as time hatred between the Slytherins and Gryffindors.

Is it true? Has there always been this flame hidden beneath the surface?

Whether or not it's true the whole Wizarding World will be watching this romance between the modern day Romeo and Juliet.

Hermione groaned as she read the article. Princess of Light? Romeo and Juliet? The press people were just nuts. Who in the world came up with those?

"Nice Mione." Blaise whistled. "Your office looks like a green house."

Hermione looked up from her desk. "I've told him to stop sending them. Believe me."

"Oh I believe you. Draco's just a bit… flashy."

"A bit! He's sent me flowers everyday this week so far! And each time the bouquet get's bigger! What's he going to send me next? The botanical gardens?"

"You can't say he's not romantic. He may be an idiot but he's at least a romantic idiot."

Hermione sighed. "At least my office has never smelled better."

"Sure you could see it that way. So you excited for the gala this evening?"

Hermione groaned. "Noooo."

Blaise gave a chuckle. "It won't be that bad."

"You don't have the press at your heels everywhere you turn."

"Ah yes. So should I start calling you Juliet?" Blaise laughed. 

Hermione scowled at him. "If you do I'll tell the press that you're also my boyfriend. They'll just love that. See how you like being chased."

Blasie paled. "Yeah, no thanks." He then stood up out of one of the seats in Hermione's office. "Well then see you later this evening." Blasie smiled before leaving. "Don't forget that we're done working by two so that you ladies can pretty yourselves. Not that you need it of course." Blaise winked. 

"Okay." Hermione smiled softly.

Hermione looked at the clock. It said one. She had an hour before she had to leave.

!

"Hermione."

Hermione looked up from her desk.

It was Ken Hamilton.

"Hey Ken."

"It's two."

Hermione looked at the clock. Her eyes widened as she saw that it was indeed two now.

She gave an embarrassed grin. "Sorry I guess I was a bit enthralled on the case."

"You mean the Olto's case?"

"Yeah." Hermione smiled.

"It's quite different isn't it?"

"Yeah, I've never had one like it before."
