Chapter One: Interruptions

"I've got to go. No…Yes….But Ginny….Okay, I'll wait. Tell the kids I said hi. Bye, Gin."

Harry Potter closed his iWizz Phone and promptly after that his eyes. He was in the middle of Diagon Alley, sitting on a bench, alone, and still in his Auror robes. He didn't want to go to another of Ginny's Balls. But she always made him go.

His eyes were forced open by the sound of his grumbling stomach. He groaned when he stood. His bones ached at places where he remembered them to ache after he woke up in St. Mungos after Voldemorts fall. He and his Auror group had been chasing the remaining Death Eaters, and successfully. All were now locked up in Azkaban

His feet automatically walked him to a bright red door. He looked up, reading the sign. Golden Phoenix the sign read. He smiled for the first time that day and entered.

"Hiya 'arry. Wot Can I's get ya?" The bartender asked.

"The usual Ben" Harry said

He walked to his usual table in the corner. He loved this place. It wasn't really classy and never that crowded. The interior was beautifully designed. The walls were dark red almost burgundy. While the floor was painted gold. Whenever you entered the first thing you saw was, either Ben the Bartender or the Bar itself. This place was really big and the bar was surrounded by round tables.

" 'Ere ya go 'Arry. One ham/cheese sand'ich and a cherry coke. That all, my boy?"

"Thanks Ben. Yes, that's all." He dug deep in his pocket to find the money.

"No need for that m'boy." Harry smiled.

But he always made sure Ben got the money. 'Accidentally' leaving it on the table. One thing he loved the most was the fact they sold Muggle food. He took his sandwich ready to take a bite.

Suddenly an big white owl swooped in. Landing on Harry's table. This must be the invitation Ginny was talking about. He put down his sandwich and opened the parchment:

Hi Harry,

Here is the invitation I promised. It's a Masked Ball this year. I'm so excited! You have to come! Please promise me you can make it? Don't forget a date. A 'real' date. Mione doesn't count, you know that Harry James Potter! Blaise and the twins wanted to know when you'll visit again. Please come by soon! Love, Ginny Zabini

Harry quickly wrote a reply and gave it to their owl, Salamon. He hoped that there would be no other interruptions between him and his sandwich. Unfortunately he was wrong.
