Hermione turned the key to her flat and opened the door, going through the mail the owls had dropped on her front porch. She shut her door behind her with her foot and without looking up walked through the little hallway and turned left into her room. Not once did she look up. Dropping her bag on her bed she sat down next to it and continued going through her post. Finnally, she put down everything and stood up, walking toward her living room again.
What in the- Hermione gasped. Her whole apartment seemed trashed. Her couches were flipped over, her picture frames broken and on the floor, her coffee table flipped upside down and pieces of parchment seemed to cover the whole floor. Hermione stood there, in shock, for about a minute or two and then decided to do something about it. She flicked her wand at her the couch cushions which automatically sprang up and organized themselves neatly on a now upright couch. Just as Hermione was going to go on with the reperations, something caught her eye. Some red rose pedals and a candle had appeared from where the couch and the cushions were just lying seconds before. Confused, she walked over to it and picked it up.
With a sudden 'whoosh' everything around her started flying around. Hermione gasped as more and more roses seemed to appear and more and more candles seemed to burn in font of her. When her whole living room went back to its normal state, Hermione saw that the whole living room was decked out in roses, candles and heart chocolates. She gasped one more time and walked over to her coffee table where a piece of pink parchment was now hovering right above it. She picked it up and read it.
My dearest Hermione,
I hope you liked my little surprise for you. I hope you didn't have a heart attack when you saw the mess I created. But don't worry, it won't happen again.
Now I want to invite you to dinner with me tonight. In your room you will see a red dress and shoes I bought for you for this special occasion.
I hope your present wasn't disappointing,
Happy one year anniversary Honey,
Brent
Hermione read and re read the paper over and over again, caught in between surprise and happyness. She couldn't believe it. She had completely forgotten that it was their one year anniversary today! How could she? Wasn't it usually the men who forgot? She quickly walked over to her bedroom and saw that indeed there was a red dress hanging from her dresser. The dress was gorgeous and made Hermione wonder about its price. Has it really been that long? She thought. Have I really been together with Brent for a year? She sighed and put the dress aside. She would get dressed up in a bit. Right now she wanted to look at that invitation she had gotten from Hogwarts...
"Draco, darling?" The squeeky voice of Pansy Parkinson Malfoy called out of the bathroom.
"Yes?" Replied a half way dressed Draco Malfoy.
"Guess what we got in the mail today?" She asked. "An invitation from Hogwarts."
"Hmm?" He asked, suddenly interested in the conversation.
"They're inviting us for a ten year reunion right after the term ends. If I remember correctly that would be in a month from Tuesday."
Draco walked into the bathroom and looked at his wife standing in her black evening gown while curling her hair with her wand. "Is that so?" He asked. She nodded. "Well, we'll be going then. Oh and make sure that before we leave tonight you make sure your thongs aren't showing. Don't want my parents to realize that their daughter in law is a slut." He commented monotonously before leaving a hurt Pansy behind in the bathroom.
Knock knock knock. Hermione checked the mirror one last time and rushed to the door. She put on a smile and opened it to the smiling face of Brent Huston.
"You look beautiful." He greeted her, giving her a hug.
"Thanks. You look quite handsome yourself." Hermione replied with a smile on her face.
"Ready to go, darling?" He asked, offering her his arm. Hermione kissed him on the cheek and gladly accepted his arm.
Once in the fancy restaurant, the waiter led them to a secluded area in the back of the restaurant. Brent ordered the finest wine immediately after they sat down and then went on to look at Hermione. "I wouldn't know what to do without you, Hermione." He said. Hermione smiled. He was so sweet. "Can you believe it has only been one year? To me it feels like i've been with you forever!" He took a hold of her hands and smiled at her. "You truly are the love of my life."
"Oh stop it, Brent. You're making me blush." Hermione said shyly. He really did love her, didn't he? The two ate dinner, drank, and talked. Soon the two had had a little too much whine and were both red in the faces.
"Ready to go home, darling?" Brent asked. Hermione nodded. They drunkenly stood up and walked outside. Once they were in front of Brent's manor the started kissing like crazy. He led her up through his doors and up to his room and started taking off her clothes while she did the same to him. They fell on the bed and were soon naked on top of each other. The room became filled with moans and grunts and then complete silence. The last thing Hermione thought before falling asleep in Brent's arms was, He's so perfect...Maybe a little too perfect...
AN: All right. So I know you guys have been waiting for this. And here you go! Hehe. I hope you aren't very disappointed. I know it's not that amazing, but hey. It's only the first chappy. There will be a lot more to soon come. And as you guys probably figured out from the invitation, this is set ten years after hogwarts. So these peeps are 27. or 28. That's not too old.
