Je t'aime, my darling

Mercie cherie

"Good morning Mrs Parkinson."

Hermione looked up from her book as Pansy strode into the room stealing a grape from her wife's plate and catching it in her mouth.

"Morning Pans." Hermione said, returning to her book as Pansy closed her eyes in the sun.

Hermione hadn't been able to sleep the night before, what with planning the coming reunion and seeing her two ex friends again and having quite a large row with them at the same time in the empty lobby.

"Rough night?" Pansy said as Hermione sighed desperately trying to keep her eyes focused on the words that seemed to be floating off the pages of her book.

"Yes, it's just the whole bloody issue with those- those-" Hermione began.

"Gingembres?" Pansy said, knowing that Hermione much preferred French over English in these types of situations.

"Oui." Hermione said a smile creeping onto her face.

"Voulez-vous que je vienne avec vous aujourd'hui" Pansy asked Hermione gently as she fished her phone out of her pocket sending a quick text to Draco while Hermione steadied her brain.

"Not for the first few hours," Hermione said rubbing her forehead,"But when everyone arrives at 3?"

Pansy smiled and nodded as Hermione let out her breath with a grateful look on her face.

"Merci cherie."

...

"Finally decided to show up did you?" Ginny said from the other side of the lobby, standing next to a smirking Ron.

Hermione didn't allow her emotionless wall to slip from her face as she glided toward them, her black pencil skirt swishing at her thighs going beautifully with her cold shoulder green top and silver bangles swinging at her wrists. Pansy had done her make up earlier in the day and as she walked Hermione let one dark acrylic nail slide over her red lips and gave a cold look to the two ginger siblings.

Ron's jaw dropped slightly as he gave her a once over and Hermione felt a sense of pleasure, she had worn Slytherin colours especially to annoy the ginger oaf.

"Actually, I had to get one of my employees to sanitise the hallways. Who knows what dirt you tracked into my hotel." The smirk fell from Ron's face and appeared upon Hermione who felt pride as she watched Ginny begin to stutter out a response.

"Shall we get started then, Draco will be here in a few moments. Will you be joining us Ronald?" Hermione said not even looking him in the eye.

"Yeah, I guess so." Ron said.

Hermione laid out the paperwork handing Ginny a silver fountain pen. As she did so her engagement ring was now eye catchingly visible and practically blinding at the size of the ruby smack bang in the middle of it.

"Mione, why's there a bloody snake on you wrist?" Ron said fury seeping into his tone as his sister stared at the ring with a 'thats more expensive than this entire hotel look'.

"It's Hermione to you, and it's my engagement ring." Hermione said not looking up from her own paperwork, waiting for Ginny to sign.

"But it's a bloody snake!" Ron said as Ginny continued to stare at the ring.

"And she's married to a snake."

Hermione nearly screamed thanks for Draco getting her out of this terrible discussion. The blonde strode over to his friend and business partner with all the Malfoy flair he had in his body.

"YOU MARRIED THE FERRET." Ron shouted and Hermione and Draco looked at each other and nearly burst out laughing.

"Hardly, I prefer more masculine Gryffindors, and Pansy would kill me if I stole her wife from her. Although I'm sure I could do it with ease." Hermione slapped Draco on the arm as he spoke those last words.

"PARKINSON! BUT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MARRY RON SO I COULD HAVE HARRY." Ginny finally burst out, screaming at the CEO's annoyed at the lack of reaction form the two after her sudden outburst.

"Too bad, now can we get back to work? People will be arriving in an hour and everything should be set up for the next two weeks." Hermione said taking the pen off Ginny and filing the papers away for later.

The next hour was filled with Hermione and Draco narrowly avoiding every question about their personal lives and Draco whispering in Hermione's ear every so often that he would hex Ron next time he looked up her skirt.

"Hey would you prefer Pansy did it? If I did it I would be more forgiving but Pansy? He'd be lucky if he left with his nose."

They finally finished working out all the plans and finishing off trivial things such as rooms, decor and food when Jonathan, the bell boy ran in to inform the CEOs that the first cars were set to arrive in about 10 minutes.

"So that that, we must go greet the guests now." Draco said pulling out Hermione's chair so as she could stand up and the two walking out of the room leaving two grumbling gingers in their wake. Just as they had the Night before.
