I hope you guys like it:
It was the night of the annual St. Mungos charity gala. Although the war was three years ago, many people have still been affected to this day. The money from the fundraiser went towards the new psychology ward so that those still affected can talk about their trauma. The most surprising thing, however, was that former Death Eater, Draco Malfoy, started the fundraiser. Although everyone knew he founded it, no one knew the real reason he created the charity.
Tonight was a special night for Hermione Granger. She had just been promoted from apprentice journalist to journalist, and she was going to have her first real interview. She was tasked with interviewing Draco Malfoy about the charity. She felt a little nervous due to their past, but she knew he had changed, so she was ready to put on a brave face and do her job. First things first, though; she needed an outfit.
"You need to wear something super hot. Something to grab the attention of a man," her best friend Ginny Potter said, sitting on her bed. Hermione shook her head. "No, Ginny. I'm there to work, not to impress men." Ginny groaned. "Come on, Hermione! You need a boyfriend. You can do your job and look good!" Ginny stood up and looked in her closet. She gasped as she saw the perfect dress. It had red sequins that illuminated the glamorous formal dress and showcased a strappy open back for sultry allure, with a high front slit perfect for showing off heels. "This one! You'll look like a goddess," Ginny said, smiling wildly. Hermione just smiled and shook her head, grabbing the dress, deciding it wasn't worth arguing with Ginny.
The gala was a huge success for Draco and St. Mungos. About 500 or more people showed up, and they had raised about 50,000 galleons already. Hermione was mingling with a bunch of donors and gathering their comments when she decided it was time to talk to Draco. She took out her quill and notepad and approached the Malfoy heir. When Draco saw Hermione approach him, his breath was taken away. She looked beautiful. He quickly snapped out of his trance and cleared his throat as Hermione came up to him.
Hermione shared a small smile with him before putting her quill to her notepad and turning professional. "Hello, Mr. Malfoy. How is your night going?" Draco smiled. "Hello, Ms. Granger. It has been going well. How about yours?"
"It is going well. Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Go ahead," Draco gestured.
"How do you feel about the success of your charity?"
Draco smirked at the thought of being successful. "I am very grateful that people are coming together to support St. Mungos. I am glad that people are getting the help they need after the war." Hermione wrote down his answer and looked up at him again.
"Do you plan to expand the charity?"
Draco smiled. "I hope someday we can expand to help even more people with issues that aren't just psychological trauma." Hermione smiled warmly at his answer. Now Hermione was ready to ask the last question. "Now for the question everyone has been asking since you started the charity: why did you start it?" Hermione asked curiously.
Draco thought for a long time before he sighed. "There are two answers. The first one I'll allow to go on record, but the second one you must keep a secret." Hermione thought for a moment before nodding. "I want to help other people face their trauma, and I hope this will be enough to say I'm sorry to people for all I did as a Death Eater."
Hermione gave Draco a small smile. "Draco, you've shown you have changed for the better just by being yourself. Although the charity is kind, you don't need to have it to prove you have changed." Draco blushed a little and smiled at Hermione. He soon took a deep breath and told her his real reason. "The real reason I started this charity was because I don't want people to feel what I felt during and after the war. I've had so much trauma from being a Death Eater and having Voldemort live in my home that it was a lot to deal with. This is one of the reasons I host the charity gala on this specific day. It's the same day my trauma started—the day I got my Dark Mark." Draco looked down at his arm in shame.
"What I said before was true. I don't want people to feel what I've felt." Draco looked down sadly. Hermione took his hand and lifted his face to look at hers. "That is very brave of you, Draco. To face everything from your past is really hard." Draco looked at her and smiled. "Thank you, Hermione." He paused for a moment. "You know, one of the other reasons I changed so much was for this girl to notice me."
Hermione looked at him again. "Really? Do I know her?"
Draco smiled and blushed. "Yeah. It's, um—it's you. I never said anything after the war because I thought you hated me, and I was too much of a coward to tell you how I've felt. But seeing you here tonight and talking to you makes me feel like I can say my feelings out loud."
Hermione looked shocked but then smiled at him. "I am a little surprised by this. I am very flattered. I don't want you to ever think you should hide your true feelings from people."
Draco looked a little embarrassed. "So, if I'm not being too forward, would you like to go out for lunch one day?"
Hermione blushed and then kissed Draco on the cheek. "I would love to."
