draco made his way to the owlery inside the ministry. sealing the envelope with hermione's request to ginotto, draco placed it in the beak of a brown barn owl. he scratched its feathers and threw it a treat before the owl took flight. sighing draco headed back down to his office. "malfoy!" someone called out. the blond turned to see the weasley girl walking towards him with a stack of papers. "hey," she greeted as she reached him. "weasley," he replied nodding before continuing to walk. "wait," ginny called after him walking briskly to catch up with him. "i just wanted to invite you over to my flat after work." "why would i do that?" draco asked turning to look at the red head. "honestly," ginny sighed rolling her eyes. "i thought you were supposed to be smart." draco just raised an eyebrow. "i share a flat with blaise," she started, emphasizing blaise. "he's your bestfriend and he wants you over. plus all my friends will be there and it's not fair on him," she finished. "you're doing something nice for him?" draco asked eyeing the girl. she shrugged before turning right. draco watched her back as she disappeared. before she was fully gone he called out, "fine! i'll be there." she looked at him over his shoulder and a small smile crept onto her face. he shook his head before turning the opposite way as the redhead.

hermione crumpled up the piece of parchment she had been writing on before throwing it over to where her other unfinished drafts of crumpled papers lay. she pulled out another piece of parchment. as she was beginning to write she heard a light knock on her door. "come in," she called not looking up from her parchment. "here," natalie said softly placing a bottle of water and grapes on hermione's desk. the brunette smiled gratefully at the dark haired witch as she popped a grape into her mouth. "you're such a good bestfriend and PA," hermione said. "it's nothing," natalie replied but she smiled widely at the girl. hermione was like an older sister and bestfriend all in one to natalie. she just wanted to help hermione in every way possible. after all, hermione was everything natalie needed in her life. hermione watched as natalie disappeared through the door. she drank from the glass and popped another grape in her mouth before wrapping up her writing.

"see you tomorrow nat," hermione said smiling at the girl. "have a good night," she heard natalie call as she walked out. she raised her hand giving a little wave behind her as she continued to walk. as she stepped into the lift she checked her watch. it read; 6:05. she knew everyone else would already be at ginny's, seeing as they got off earlier then she did. she stepped outside feeling the pull at her temples. the world flashed infront of her before it came to a stop and ginny's flat came into view. hermione turned the opposite way, quickly heading to her house. as she got up to her room she placed her stuff down and quickly changed out of her work attire. grabbing her wand from her bag she headed across the street.

she placed her knuckles to the oak wood quickly rapping on the door. she heard quick footsteps before the door was pulled open. "mione," the raven haired boy said. "hey harry," she said softly smiling as harry pulled her into a hug. "how are you?" he asked as he pulled back. "tired," she replied laughing. "i bet. i heard you had a meeting with both malfoy and i today," harry said shutting the door as hermione stepped inside. "that's correct," the brunette laughed. "babe," ron said as he came around the corner. he pulled her in, kissing her. hermione smiled fondly at the redhead as they pulled apart. "hermione!" ginny called as she ran to hug her bestfriend. "hey gin," hermione chuckled wrapping her arms around ginny's strong build. "how are you and daphine," hermione asked turning back to harry. a flicker of emotions flashed quickly across ginny's face and her smile faltered for a second before it came back just as bright. "we actually went on a date," harry said. "oh?" hermione replied arcing her eyebrow. "and it wasn't terrible," harry said. "she's sweet once you start getting to know her," he smiled. "well, i'd love to meet her sometime," the brunette replied as ginny ushered them all into the living room.

"hey blaise," hermione said smiling at the olive skinned boy on the couch. "hermione," he greeted. a knock sounded at the door as ginny sat down next to blaise. "i'll get it," hermione said waving her hand at ginny. "thank you," the redhead said gratefully sinking further into the couch. hermione pulled the door open. standing there was draco malfoy. hermione moved to the side allowing draco to step in. "thanks," he said throwing his shoes off. hermione shut the door and followed the blond back to the living room. "draco," blaise grinned as he walked in. "hey mate," draco replied. "wine hermione?" blaise asked as he handed draco a glass. "please," the brunette smiled. blaise nodded pouring her a glass of red wine. hermione sipped it as she took a seat next to draco on the other couch. "sorry," she mumbled as her leg hit his. she quickly scooted to the other end of the couch. "this is great wine blaise," she complimented. "straight from france. i have a bottle from italy too," blaise said. "you've gotta let me sample that one some time," hermione said taking another sip. "of course! are you a wine person?" the boy asked. "yeah, it's my favourite," hermione replied. "come over some time and we can go wine sampling," blaise said smiling at the girl. "done," hermione said returning the smile. harry, ron, and draco all stayed far away from one another, but the night was shared peacefully between the six of them.

a/n: hi, this is the worst thing i've ever written hahahah. holy- this is trash. IM SORRY GUYS!

i had volleyball tryouts today and yesterday. [ SKIP ALL THIS UNTIL NEXT PARAGRAPH IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED ] so basically the coaches were like "we aren't gonna have a freshman team, unless it's a QUALITY freshman team" meaning that the freshman have to compete with the sophomores girls to be on a team (jv) since there isn't a team for freshman. and then the second day of tryouts they cut one person and they want to spend the rest of the week evaluating us, but all the sophomores made jv. they are thinking about having a "freshman squad" but we'll just have practice twice a week instead of every single day, so idk bro. ITS ALL SO CONFUSING SKSK! k, thanks for coming to my ted talk :)

qotd; do you play an instruments? i play piano, violin and i dabble in guitar. i also like to sing, but i'm trash sooo :))
