Summary: Dean gets the courage up to see Hermione.
Completion: Incomplete
Dean had finally summoned up the courage to see Hermione about her painting and he was anxious to see her reaction. He didn't think he'd done too well but beauty was in the eye of the beholder.
His mind though was on other things too. His life had taken several twists and turns including his declaration to Fleur that he was going to try to start a fitness center next to her dance studio. The thought thrilled him because he wanted to help the community and this was a great project.
He'd been soliciting advice from others about starting a business and he was going to approach Hermione later about the topic. He trusted her opinion and would listen to her intently. He wished he could talk about Parvati and the mass of confusion she'd caused in him. But he did't think that was a topic for Hermione and he'd need to find someone else to speak to eventually if he and Parvati went out again.
He walked to up to the store and opened the door, gripping the white roll he had on his side tighter before he said, "Hello, Hermione, Anyone home?"
