Summary: Twenty-six-year-old Draco Malfoy is a lonely guy. He only has two friends, and he hopes he can quit being so unpleasant long enough to make friend number three. Blaise Zabini convinces him to get a job, and he meets Hermione Granger for the second time as a customer in the coffee shop where he begins to work. But there's all kinds of stuff going on with Hermione, and Draco stumbles into it and gets way too involved. How do you deal with a messed up childhood, the Pureblood aristocracy, Ministry corruption, Muggle culture invasions, and constant questions about your love life, all while juggling more than two friends and not being a total jerk? Don't ask Draco - he doesn't know.
