Hermione Granger worked as a barista at a small coffee shop in London. The coffee shop was called Hogwarts, Hermione never really understood why. The coffee shop had a magical theme with magical drinks like their special butter beer. Hermione had been working at Hogwarts ever since she had left university a year ago. 

Draco Malfoy was a doctor at the local hospital that was called St Mungos. Draco was having a bad day, one of the other doctors had been annoying him to no end and a nurse had mixed up a patients medication. Draco was in a very foul mood. He needed some caffeine to make him feel better. He was walking home when he saw across the street a sign that read 'Hogwarts coffee shop'.

Hermione was working a double shift at the coffee shop and was beginning to tire until a handsome young man with platinum blond hair turned up. She hadn't seen him before but he was wearing his doctors uniform and looked rather grumpy. Draco approached the counter of the coffee shop and saw a pretty barista with brown wavy locks of hair, her name tag read Hermione Granger. 

"Hi welcome to Hogwarts what would you like today." She said with a smile. 

"Hi yeah I will have the hmm butter beer." He said when he had decided on what he wanted from the menu above Hermione's head. 

"Great, ok that will be £3.99 please." 

"Keep the change. " Draco said as he handed over a £5 note.

Hermione prepared the drink for Draco whilst he stood looking down at his phone. Hermione made the butter beer making it nice and foamy at the top. She cleared her throat before telling Draco his drink was ready. Draco  took his drink from her hand which was in a take away cup, offered her a smile which he hoped didn't look like a grimace before leaving to walk the rest of the short way home. Draco lived in a detached house not far from the coffee shop whilst Hermione lived on the other side of town. 

When Draco got home he took a long sip of his drink. The butter beer was really, really sugary which gave Draco the added boost that he needed. Draco sighed as he sipped the last remaining golden drops of liquid from the bottom of the  travel cup. He made a mental note to visit the little coffee shop again soon. 

When Hermione finally got home from her double shift she was knackered to say the least. She ran herself a long soothing bath after giving Crookshanks, her loveable ginger tabby cat, some food. Hermione was so tired she nearly fell asleep in the bath so after having something to eat she went to bed for an early night.

For the next week Draco came to the little coffee shop to buy a sugary cup of butter beer. Hermione was in the shop each time he had been that week either serving him the sugary treat or sweeping crumbs of the tables with her tea towel.

Draco and Hermione had talked on several occasions when he had been in the shop. They found out more about each other like how Draco adored Green apples which contrasted with Hermiones love for the red ones. Hermione had told him about her cat Crookshanks and he shared with her that he has a dark grey Labrador called Willow. They had even exchanged numbers because Draco had invited Hermione to watch Crufts together. 

It was late one night and Hermione was charged with the closing of the shop. Draco had already been into the coffee shop a few hours prior to Hermione fumbling with the keys. Once successfully closed Hermione proceeded to walk to her car only to be stopped by several thugs blocking her in the alley to get to her black Jeep. 

"Excuse me could you please move out of the way?" Hermione asked polietly she didn't want to be too rude to the idiots in case it made them try something. 

"Sorry princess no can do." One of the smirking hooligans said. 

"Why won't you let me passed?" Herimione sighed.
