Not letting go

Chapter 13: healer

Hermiones pov

It had been a week since I had left my apartment, not wanting to face anyone who had read the daily prophet.

I had been sitting on my couch, chocolates in hand, watching 'The NoteBook' for the tenth time that week.

Turning around to see a owl, Dracos owl. I had gotten up, handing the owl a pieced bread and a couple strokes before beginning to read the letter.

Dear hermione,

Hello, Hermione, I'm so sorry I haven't gotten in contact. sooner, I've been so caught up in my work. I feel terrible.

Please, let me make it up to you, tomorrow 6am, The Leaky Cauldron?

Yours,

Draco malfoy

I had caught herself smiling at his apology, immediately forgiving him, understanding how reckless people have been these days, of course he would be getting a lot of patients. (Sorry if I didn't say before! Draco is a healer!)

I had earlier that evening received a letter asking if I were coming back to work. Recently I found myself checking out being a healer, once I found out draco was a healer, I didn't really want the job that was offered to me, I wasn't sure how draco would feel. I need a job. Ugh.

Just before I had decided to stay home, besides going out with draco, I see pig, immediately running over.

"Hello there pig!" I exclaim, Pulling out the letter

Hey hermione!

Girls night?

The three broomsticks? 8am?
I'm not taking no for answer!

Ginny x

I find myself excited, I'm going to have dinner with draco then have some drinks with Ginny almost right after. I decide to get ready to go to my favorite clothes shop, 'fashion sensation'.

Before leaving I write Ginny and Draco a quick letter saying I'll be there.

"Hey hermione! What brings you here? I haven't seen you in a long time!" Flora exclaims, ushering me in the store.

Flora is the owner of the store, we developed a good friendship, she had helped me with dates before Ron and with Ron. I found Flora being a second Ginny, which I don't mind at all.

"Hey Flora! I..well you read the daily prophet, I just haven't been feeling myself lately. Anyways, I'm here for a date and a girls night" I explain, hoping she doesn't ask questions.

"Of course come on, I think I have just the thing!" Flora guides me to back of the store, i trail behind, excited to see what she has

"Ah, here we go! Try this on!" Flora insists, handing me a red tight dress that will most likely go until a little bit before my knees.

I walk into a dressing room, examining what Flora had picked out for me. It's a red dress that goes down just before my knees, just as I had suspected. I look at the dress she gave me once more before sliding it on.

I look at myself in the mirror, walking out, spinning in a circle in front of Flora.

"Ooo! Yes! Ok here, these will go perfectly with the dress" Flora hands me red heels.
