Lasagnas have layers
~o0o~
"Are you going to finish that?"
Hermione looked up from her book in confusion. A man with red hair and freckles stood next to her table, his hands in his pockets as he waited. When he realised she wasn't sure she'd heard him correctly, he gave a smile and nodded at her apple pie. Her untouched apple pie.
"Oh," she said, blushing. "I'd forgotten I had. . .It's probably not that good now."
The man laughed. "Won't matter."
Hermione's brows crinkled as she observed the way the man was dressed. He didn't look dirty, but his clothes were such an array of colourful pieces that didn't match that Hermione couldn't help but wonder if those too had been things he'd asked for from different people. Poor thing. "Seriously, are you sure you want it? I can pay for a new one. Or if you'd like one of their lasagnas, they're actually rather excellent."
The man grinned. "Are they really?"
Hermione put aside her book. "Oh, absolutely. I think the portions are rather large and wouldn't normally finish that amount of food in one go, but when it comes to these lasagnas I can't bring myself not to. . ." She glanced at his clothes again. "Why don't I get you one and you can see for yourself?"
If possible the man's grin broadened at her offer. "Why, it's a bit forward, but I know a man shouldn't look take opportunities like this for granted. What's your name?"
"What's my. . .? Hermione."
"Hermione? Okay, Hermione, sure, I'll go on a date with you. I'm Fred by the way."
Hermione blinked. "A date? I—"
"Oy, Freddie," said another man, walking by, his name tag spelling out the name 'Lee'. He tossed a piece of clothing at Fred. "Put your uniform on and don't confuse the guests."
Hermione gaped, realising now that Fred had been an employee this whole time, asking for her plate to put it away. Not for her to buy him a meal.
As she blushed, Fred looked at her, his eyes twinkling. "Why don't you come 'round here at your usual time tonight and I'll make you some of my apparently delicious lasagna?"
Too stunned to do anything else, Hermione nodded.
Fred grinned. "Wicked. See you then, Hermione."
