Hermione sat reading the daily prophet when an ad in the paper that caught her attention.
In big bold print it said, Attention Witches If You Are Single and You Are Looking For A Guy To Call Your Own Then Why Not Try One Single Rose. We Are Taking Applications And You Could Be The Lucky One To Get To Date 10 Guys in a Week. Maybe Your Guy Might Be In The Mix. So Please Come To or Owl 1956 Spider Alley Right Next To Knock turn Alley. You Will Be Owl In Three or Five Days On If you Win Or Not.
Thank You,
One Single Rose.

There was a application right under the ad. Hermione looked at the ad thinking she could not possible be thinking of doing this. She had been broke up with Ron for 3 years and she had been dating off and on with different guys, and still she had not found the right one. So with that thought in her head Hermione found a quill and filled out the application. She put her full name, her age , what she like in guy, and what she did not like in guys. At the bottom of the application there was a question and you had to write a paragraph telling what your perfect date would be. She sat there thinking then started to write what she thought would be the perfect date,15 minutes and a page and a half later she had finished. Hermione got up from the table and made her way to the owl post to send her application. There was just one thought in Hermione's mind as the owl flew away. What had she got herself into.

Five Days Later...

The application and One Single Rose was long gone out of Hermione's mind until that morning when she was walking into the kitchen and a owl flew through the window and landed on the kitchen table. On the leg of the owl there was a envelope. She thanked the owl with some treats that she had around and took the envelope and watched as the owl left. When the owl was gone she looked at the cream color envelope and wondered what it was. When she turned it around and saw the front there was a single blue rose and right under it was some fancy writing that said One Single Rose. As she looked at the envelope she thought had it already been five days and for some wierd reason her heart was beating fast as she held on to it. So with trembling hands and her mind screaming that it was just telling her that she did not win. She opened the envelope and in the same fancy writing that was on the front of the envelope she read the letter.

Dear , Miss Granger,

First off we would like to say thank you for filling out our application. We have read over everybody's form and found that your application stood out the most . So we would like to say congratulations you are our winner.

Hermione dropped the letter to the table she could not read anymore she needed to sit down and she needed a stiff drink but tea would have to do for now. So with that said Hermione took out her wand and moved the tea and milk to the table. She could not believe it ,she just did it for fun, she did not think that she would win. She guess that served her right for thinking. Hermione had no idea what she was going to do. She continued to drink her tea and ignore the letter that was right there next to her. When the tea was all gone and the bathroom was becoming a issue she picked up the letter and finished reading it.

We will need for you to come down to One Single Rose on Wednesday at 10 am so we can get your list of what you like and don't like and so we can answer all the question you might have. Looking forward to seeing you.

Thank You, One Single Rose

After she had finished reading the letter and went to the bathroom, showered and got dress she knew one thing Miss Ginny was about to get a visitor. She need help and why not from her best friend.

Ginny's house...

When Hermione got to Ginny's house she made her way into the living room and told Ginny to sit down that she had something she needed help with. Ginny, used to the way Hermione made everything bigger then what it seemed,sat down and look at her and said go ahead. Hermione began to tell her how she had filled out the application that was in the paper, how she thought it would be fun and how she did not think she would win and then about how this morning she had gotten a letter say she was the winner and that now she was stuck going on 10 dates with guys she did not know, by this point Ginny was bent over holding her stomach because she was laughing so hard. When she realize that Hermione was no longer talking she looked up and said "Sorry. It was just so funny". "Hermione what were you thinking, I mean really did you not think you would win."

"Still even if you did not think you would win there had to be a reason you filled it out."

" What was it?"

Hermione looked at Ginny and told her that she was thinking about all the guys she had been dating and how none of them was the one. Ginny knew just how Hermione felt. She too had filled out one of those forms, but instead of getting a letter saying she was a winner she got one saying that she did not win. Then it went on to say that if she would still like to meet some guys that she could come to the shop and for a small fee they would set her up with a dream guy that she would like. They left their card on the paper and then wrote Thank You One Single Rose. Sadly Ginny knew right where that card was right now. It was in her pocket book waiting for just a little bit more money so that she could go down there and get her a guy. How laughable she was now .

None of this would be happening right now if she had just kept her mouth shut and married Harry, instead two days before her wedding she realized that Harry was nothing more then a crush and if she was to marry him she would be making the biggest mistake of her life. So with a sad heart she flooed over to Harry's and told him that she could not marry him she gave back his ring and then left. To say Harry was upset was a understatement he was pissed. No one had heard from Harry until three weeks ago when Ginny had saw him in the paper with two girls on his arm. So that was how Ginny had kept an eye on Harry was by the paper now and every week there was always Harry with a new girl on is arm. Ginny guessed he was doing well. Since she had been out of Hogwarts Hermione was really the only friend she saw all the time. Luna was still around but just not as much. Luna had a husband and kids to take care of and that took all her time.

Her and Hermione had want through a rough patch a little while back. Hermione was with Ron but then for no reason at all she dumped Ron or so it seemed to Ginny, but Hermione said that they just grown apart and that she needed a little time to try and find herself. Ginny never told anybody but she found out the real reason why she left Ron and why the trio was no more. One day Hermione had come home early and had heard moaning coming from her and Ron's room when she went up to see what it was Ron was on top of Lavender. It was too much for Hermione so she just found herself a flat, got herself moved in and wrote Ron a letter telling him that they had just grown apart and that she would never see him again. When Hermione had told Harry it turned out that he had known the whole time and just did not want to tell her and when everything in his life went to shit he just left everyone behind.

Ginny looked at Hermione and told her she knew how she felt and then asked if she would like to stay for lunch. Hermione said, "Sure.", and then followed Ginny into the kitchen and sat at the table. For lunch Ginny cooked them a grilled cheese sandwich and pumpkin juice. Over lunch Ginny told Hermione about how she filled out the application and was giving a card and that she was thinking about going down there to set up and meet with the guy they thought she would like. Hermione thought that it was a good idea and then went on to tell Ginny about the list that she has to make for the One Single Rose about what she likes in guys and don't like. Ginny said," First lets start on your list and then sometime next week we need to go shopping for a new wardrobe." Hermione liked that idea.

After lunch was over Hermione and Ginny moved back into the living room and sat at the coffee table and took out a quill and parchment and began to write what guys she thought would be in the mix and then when it was time to get the list of what guys she did not want in the mix the first name to pop in her head was Malfoy no other then Draco Mafloy and when she told Ginny this she asked Hermione if she had seen him lately in the papers. While Ginny had been keeping a eye on Harry. Draco had been seen in the paper too with two or three girls on his arm. Draco had turned out to be quite the handsome man with looks like his father and the grace of his mother Draco was doing well. It was in the Daily profert about two years ago that Mafloy's Mother and Father had passed away and left everything to him. So now Draco was one of the most wealthiest bachelor in the wizard world. When Hermione had finished writing all the stuff down she left Ginny house and went home to go to bed and wait for what tomorrow would bring.

Wednesday At One Single Rose...

Hermione woke up on Wednesday morning at 9:15 she had enough time to get up and get a shower, get dressed and get out the door at 9:50. She had apparated to the point in Spider alley right next to One Single Rose. Right At 10am she walked through the doors of One Single Rose. The front area of the store was like that of a nice waiting area there was a row of burgundy chairs on the wall,in the middle of the area was a round desk and behind that desk was a woman with blond hair in a ponytail and glasses on her face and a sneer on her lips.

Hermione thought this is going to be fun,she walked up to the desk and told the woman that she was Hermione Granger and was here to see about her winnings. She could not bring herself to say that she was there to find out about the 10 dates in week. The woman continue to look at Hermione like she had some kind of oder coming from her. Then after she had finished with one of her nails did the woman finally move, she said "One moment." got up and stuck her head through a door and told someone that a Miss Hermione Granger was here to see them. Hermione had thought her name had been made to sound nasty before, but that was before this woman came along. When the woman got back to her desk she looked at Hermione and told her to have a seat that someone would be with her soon, then she point to the chairs by the wall.

She had just made her way to the chair and was getting ready to pull out her book when she heard her name being called. When she turned around she was looking at a guy that was 6ft 1in tall, black hair, blue eyes and a body that made her lick her lips. He walked up to her and said

"Miss Granger my name Daniel Bank, if you would please follow me."

Hermione thought that if he was to ask her to go to the moon she would pack herself up and make it possible somehow. She was just getting to the point in her fantasy when they where removing each other clothes . When Mr. Banks made her come back to reality and what a reality it was for Mr. Banks was right there looking in her eyes and asking if she was OK. Hermione looked back at him and said,"Not a problem." "Thats good" he said, 'then would you like to join me in my office." That was when she had noticed that they where next to a door,he opened the door and motioned for her to have a seat at the chair in front of his desk.
Daniel made his way to his side of the desk and then began to speak. This is the conversation that they had.

" So Miss Granger"

"Hermione please"
Hermione said blushing . She had not felt this shy in a long time.

"So Hermione why did you fill out the application?"

"On a whim." said Hermione with a smirk.

" Meaning," asked Daniel

"Look, I only filled it out because I thought it would be fun and I never thought I would win. In fact I forgot all about it until the owl showed up with the letter telling me I won." said Hermione

" I see, well if I'm not being too bold I'm glad you did." said Daniel with a smile.

Hermione was not sure if she heard him right or not but she just said "me too."
There was a few minutes of silence when finally Daniel cleared his throat and ask Hermione if she had brought her list of the guys she liked and what she like in a guy. She told him yes and reached in her pocket and took out her list. She handed it over to Daniel and waited as he looked it over. When he had finished reading it he ask Hermione if there was any questions she might have. Hermione thinking that was a dumb question began to list off the one's she had.

"When will the week start?"

" What do I have to do?"

"What is all this about?"

" and last, "Why was I the one that won?"

" lets start with your first question. When we find all 10 of the guys we believe you will like that is when you will get an owl telling you your dates will begin. You will need to clear your schedule around that time. You see you will be having a date every morning and every night for week."

"I'm not working right now so it want be a problem." said Hermione

"OK, that's fine. To your second question. Everything will be taken care of all you will have to do is show up and look nice. However that's if you want to. " said Daniel

"Are you saying that right now I don't look nice." asked Hermione

Hermione knew it was wrong to say it but what was she to do I mean he was just sitting there saying all that stuff and damn it he looked good too. She knew he had been watching her as she switched her legs and then when she moved her hand to her leg he licked his lips it was to much. However Hermione was not prepared for what Daniel did next. Daniel looked at Hermione gave her a wink and then got up out of his chair and moved towards her. When he had gotten to her he put his hands on both of the arms of the chair and leaned close to her and whispered in her ear.

" Hermione you are the most beautiful woman I ever laid eyes on."

Then he moved back looked her in the eyes and went back to his seat.
She could not breath when he was right there leaning towards her and then to tell her that he thought she was beautiful was just heaven and then it was over he was back in his seat like nothing happened. Hermione tried to get her heart to beat back to its regular paces. She could barely make out what Daniel was saying.

"To your third question. This is a new company we wanted to get word out that we are here. So we set up the 10 guys in weeks to get the news out. All of the ones who wrote in were giving a card if they would like to find a guy. "We just want to make people happy that is all." Daniel said with a smile. That smile Hermione thought would be her undoing.

"Then for your last question we have already cover that. You were chosen Hermione because your essay was the best that stood out. Out of everybody who wrote in." said Daniel

After Hermione had finished listening to Daniel she got up to leave.

"Well I believe you will be in contact with me with how things will be going." said Hermione

"Yes." said Daniel

Daniel led Hermione to the front and right before he turned around to leave he handed Hermione a card that had his name and a way for her to be in contact if she need to be.

" This is my card contact me if you need to." "Hermione I'm glad you filled out the application." said Daniel as he gave her his card.

Then he kissed her hand and left. Hermione watched as he left. Then she turned around to head out the door when she notice that the blond woman was staring at her with a look that could had killed. Hermione waved to the woman and said, "Bye", as she was leaving out the door, no longer was she worried about what she got herself into she was just glad she did.
