This is just a little story to entertain me while I wrap up NaNo this month. Amortentia is similar to Tinder, so anything you recognize is not my own! Although this will be an eventual Draco/Hermione story, she will be going on dates with a few wizards first :).

I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think :).

Amortentia: A Dating App for Wizards & Witches

Chapter 1

"You need to get laid."

Hermione Granger looked up from the files she had been reading on a unicorn sighting in Canada. The British and American Ministries were fighting over which government should be granted access to the Northern Territories. Really, the dispute was between the British Minister for Magic and the Canadian counterpart, but the Americans wanted to feel special and included. It was an interesting case, the first time in history that the three Ministries fought over the rights of a unicorn. There was international attention and if she played this right, Hermione could educate the foreign ministries on animal rights. It was the opportunity of a lifetime. But, she had a feeling that her best friend Ginny Weasley would not see it that way.

"I have a lot of work to do," Hermione said before glancing outside. "I didn't realize that it was so late. I promise, I was just on my way out to grab dinner."

"Dinner was two hours ago." The tone in the redhead's voice did not bode well for Hermione. Ginny took a seat on the couch across from her and crossed her arms. "I thought that you and Ron had split up on good terms."

"We did! Work has been interesting lately and to be honest, I wouldn't even know how to begin dating."

Ginny grabbed Hermione's mobile off the coffee table. Hermione organized her documents so she knew where to start tomorrow. It wasn't like she was working late at the office. Harry had been the one to intervene after she had fallen asleep at her desk three nights in a row. Now Hermione had learned how to get away with working late without her friends' noticing. Or so she had thought. The youngest Weasley was too smart for her own good.

She wasn't working late because of her break up with Ron. They ended their relationship three months ago, both realizing that they were better off as friends. The only thing that hurt was her pride. If there was one thing Hermione hated, it was failing and failing publicly. Part of her thought that the breakup was her fault. If Hermione wasn't so ambitious, maybe their relationship would have succeeded. Instead of giving her privacy during their break up, reporters hounded her every time she left her apartment or the Ministry. Her personal life was being published, the highlights of her career forgotten. Strangers came up to her to ask her how she was coping.

No, it was much easier to focus on work than to deal with that. But how could she explain that? Ginny and Harry were in a great place. They had just moved in together and were working on their careers. Hermione knew that their engagement was just around the corner. Ron was still single, but he was thriving. He was a reserve player for the Chudley Cannons. Her ex-boyfriend had found himself, exuded confidence, and loved the increased attention from the press. If anything, Hermione wished she was more like Ron.

"Here you go," Ginny said handing the phone back.

Her cell chimed and she paled, recognizing the sound. "You didn't."

"I knew you wouldn't, so I did," the redhead shrugged. "Amortentia is the reason phones have entered the Wizarding World. I thought you would be more supportive."

"Of course I'm supportive, but it's a dating app!"

Ginny smiled. "And it looks like you already have a match!"

"I couldn't have a match unless... You didn't like someone already, did you?" Hermione said quickly opening up her phone.

"Have fun!" Ginny said, quickly standing up and inching away while Hermione navigated the app. The brunette was about to yell at her friend when the fireplace turned green, Ginny disappearing in the flames.

Hermione looked at her phone exasperated, before putting it on the charger. She would delete the app in the morning, but right now, her bed was calling her name.
