Hermione caught Ron cheating on her. She left in a hurry, accidentally stumbling upon a club. Attempting to relieve the sadness and the pain, she sits down at the bar and drinks. When a somehow familiar man sat next to her, she might've done more than planned. --- Completed! #1 in HogwartsSchoolOfWitchcraftAndWizardry Edited *

"Tut, Tut Granger, that's Mr Malfoy to you." Hermione couldn't handle the fame that came with being apart of the Golden Trio. Instead, she slipped away into the Muggle world with a new job, leaving her past behind her. Only, she never seemed to be able to run from her past for long. Hermione is faced with a choice; remain the good, strong Golden Girl she was admired for or hand over complete control to her worst nightmare; Draco Malfoy. The only problem was, it was hard to say no to Malfoy when he was her new boss.

How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger. The monotony of Draco's daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing morning coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence. Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can't find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why is morning coffee with Draco Malfoy the only thing that makes sense anymore? *cover art created by @eternallyreadinggoodthings
