Christmas Wishes- Winter Wonderland
Disclaimer: Hey all- If I owned all these characters or songs, I would be in Malibu instead of sitting here writing this story.
"Sleigh-bells ring, are you listening? In the lane snow is glistening, A beautiful sight, We're happy tonight, Walking in a winter wonderland!
Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is the new bird, He sings a love song, As we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland!"
"Good morning. This is Lee Jordan with your morning news. To top off the news today, let's get a quick weather report. Today is going to be a chilly day with a 90% chance of flurries. The highs are going to be in the upper."
Ginny didn't hear much else. She walked down the hall of her small flat to the bathroom. She grabbed a towel from the linen closet and turned on the hot water for her shower.
Today was her first day in the position of Vice- Editor of the Daily Prophet. She really hadn't been surprised to receive the job, considering she had been working at the Prophet since she graduated from Hogwarts six years ago. She was surprised, though, when she found out that her first assignment was an interview with the famous Harry Potter.
An hour later, Ginny raced into the kitchen. She grabbed her briefcase and coffee mug and smoothed out her skirt. She wanted to look nice when she appeared in the lobby. She took one last look around, grabbing her hat and scarf for good measure, and apparated to the Daily Prophet.
"Hello, Miss Weasley," the elevator operator greeted her with a smile, as always.
"Floor fifteen, Henry. I've been promoted," she said to him beamingly.
"Good for you," he replied earnestly.
Ginny got off the elevator and looked at her watch. It was three minutes to nine and her interview needed to start at nine. She raced down the hall, flying by the very annoyed receptionist and into her office. She desperately needed to find her interview questions before.
She should have known. Harry was always on time. Why did he have to be so punctual?
"Hi, Ginny," he said as he entered the room.
"Oh, hi," she said absent mindedly, "It's been so long."
"Yeah, it has," he said grinning.
"What have you been up to lately?" She asked in desperation. Hopefully he would elaborate on this subject so that she could find her interview questions. She was absolutely sure they were in there. She searched through every folder one last time before spotting them in her "Financial Icons" folder. "Yes!" she exclaimed, completely forgetting that he was telling her about how he had been. "Oh, I'm so sorry," she apologized, "Go on."
"Oh, that's alright. I was just waiting for you to see the questions sticking out of your 'Financial Icons' folder," he replied, suppressing laughter. Ginny felt herself blush. Could she have been so stupid, "So I guess we should start with the interview?"
"I guess we should," he stated.
"Alright, first question is how do you feel about defeating Voldemort in your seventh year at Hogwarts?"
"Well, it definitely took a mental, emotional, and physical strain on me. I knew that I had to do it, though, so I did," Ginny knew that Harry had rehearsed that line many, many times.
The interview lasted until about lunch time. Just as Ginny was about to tell Harry good-bye he asked, "Hey, Gin- There's this little café across the street. They have really good salads and subs. I was planning to go alone, but do you want to go with me?"
"Yeah, sure," she replied graciously, "Let me get on my things and we can walk there." Ginny put on her hat and scarf and headed out to this café with Harry. The snow was gently falling and busy buyers bustled down Diagon Alley. She and Harry made their way through the crowds and to Café Linda.* Bells jingled over their heads as they walked into the cozy atmosphere. They grabbed a booth over by a window.
"You're right," Ginny agreed, "They were definitely meant for each other."
"Yeah, but I think that they were the only ones that couldn't figure that one out instantly," Harry added, "You think it took Ron long enough to ask her out?"
"True, but Hermione really could have said something. It broke all of our hearts when she tried to tell herself that she loved Viktor Krum." Ginny shook her head.
"They're together now and that's all that matters," Harry told her.
"I really wouldn't be surprised if they were engaged by a year from now," Ginny said, "I really wouldn't."
"Me neither." Harry replied. Their lunch had been nothing short of fantastic. They had caught up on what each other had been doing since the previous year, the last time they had seen each other before that day.
Harry helped Ginny with her jacket, scarf and hat. "We should do this more often," Harry commented, "How about tomorrow. I'll come down and we'll meet here. Is noon alright with you?"
"I like a man who takes charge," Ginny laughed, "Yes, noon will be good."
"Well, I guess this is good-bye for now," He said.
"I guess it is," she said pulling him into a friendly hug, "I'll see you tomorrow, though."
"Alright- tomorrow," He repeated.
Ginny went back to work, but something was different. She could swear that her feet weren't touching the floor.
