The waiter at the fashionable café had just brought the salad course and refilled their drinks when Ginny burst in. Harry looked up startled, and Ginny broke out into a hysterical rant.

"And who is this? I thought you were working, and here you are, out gallivanting with this little tart-"

She was cut off by the petite but dominating woman seated crossed from him.

"Tart? Listen Miss, I don't know who you think you are-"

"I'm his girlfriend, that's who I am, you home wrecker-"

"EX! Ginny, we broke up a week ago, and I'm sorry if-" Harry tried to interject.

"Excuse me? My name is Stacia Mahan-"

"Stacia? What sort of name is Stacia? But, Harry, I suppose you do like them exotic-"

"I don't know what you think is going on here but I'm the Gringot's Liaison to the ministry, and you're interrupting an important audit meeting about the Auror branch." Stacia stated as politely as she could manage, her icy eyes flashing.

"But- Lavender said! She said you took off with some trashy looking bird straight from the office and-"

"GINNY! ENOUGH! We broke up, alright? So even if this was a date, which it is not, it wouldn't be any of your-or Lavender's- business. And, honestly? You still listen to Lavender? She was never right back in school, and she still isn't now." Harry said gently.

" Harry, you know we'll get back together, we always do-" Ginny pouted.

"Gin, we're done. We aren't getting back together. I moved out, I haven't answered your owls. I can't handle shite like this, okay? I've never cheated on you, hell, on anyone. But you are just too much for me. We're polar opposites. We talked about this, remember?"

Stacia cleared her throat uncomfortably and pushed some of her blonde hair out of her face. "I'll give you two some privacy."

"No, Ginny was just leaving." Harry said firmly.

Ginny exited the room in a flurry of tears and red hair.

"Erm, Sorry about that-" Harry started.

"Don't worry, everyone's dated a loony or two…." Stacia said with a laugh.
