Coffee Date

Lavender was standing in the field outside of the burrow, thinking of how embarrassed she was. Having Dean expose her like that made her sound like a stalker, though that was precisely the point why she had gone anyway, to find Ron. A moment before she was about to apparate, Dean had approached behind her. "Lavender..." Dean spoke her name to get her attention. Lavender looked back over her shoulder to spot Dean. "Why do you always show up behind me?" Lavender asked, a little bothered. Dean rose an eyebrow before forming a crooked smirk on his lips. "Well, to catch you if you fall." Dean replied. Lavender rolled her eyes. "How would i fall?" Lavender asked with an attitude. Dean chuckled, he was amused by her reaction. "Well, i honestly keep hoping that you would fall for me and I would catch you." Dean stated charmingly. Lavender rose an eyebrow at Dean. "Why would you want to catch me?" Lavender asked before deciding to apparate to London.

Dean watched as she apparated and decided to follow her, remaining amused before apparating to London as well. Lavender had decided to head back home but Dean spotted her in between the busy London streets, following her towards the train station in order to go to Winchester, not in the mood to apparate. Before Lavender got inside the station, Dean had caught up to her and pulled her to the side of the station. "Why did you do that for?!" Lavender gasped. Dean smiled a little. "Why did you leave for?" Dean asked back. Lavender placed her hands on her hips as Dean kept his hands on her shoulders. "Because...it was awkward being there at my ex's house knowing he's with someone else." Lavender shrugged. Dean sighed. "Okay. Well, i wanted to ask if you wanted some tea or coffee? If you'd like..." Dean asked. Lavender furrowed her eyebrows, slightly confused. "As in...a date?" Lavender asked. Dean nodded. "Yes. Is it bad?" Dean asked. Lavender wasn't sure why he or any man for that matter would find her attractive now that she was a werewolf but she honestly liked having his attention and enjoyed the flattery. "No, not bad at all. Yes, I'll go on the coffee date with you." Lavender replied.

Dean smiled, where his dimples showed gently. "Brilliant." Dean said before they made their way towards a muggle coffee shop called The Royal Bean coffee shop. Once they entered and got their coffees, Dean and Lavender sat at the table in the quiet shop, watching as the muggles walked by the window they sat near. "I have to ask, why were you surprised that i would ask you on a date?" Dean asked. Lavender sighed and took a sip of her coffee. "Figuring that I'm now a werewolf and we haven't really talked in school i assumed such." Lavender replied, whispering the word 'werewolf'. Dean set his cup back down onto the table and grinned crookedly. "Well, i had crushed on you during the end of sixth year. I tend to like girls that would let me do things for her, you know be a gentleman. Ginny never let me much, Harry misinformed me that was what she wanted so we fought a lot. Regarding the werewolf part, it's something i can work with. My cousin worked with Marcus Belby's uncle who invented the wolfsbane potion so I've learned some from him when he would visit my mum and i." Dean explained.

Lavender was taken back by the fact he had a crush on her after her relationship with Ron. Also that her now being a werewolf wasn't a turn off to all men that weren't one themselves. "Okay, I'm actually pleased to hear that. I figured that aspect would be quite the turn off, actually." Lavender stated. Dean shook his head. "Not at all. So, are you still into Ron?" Dean asked curiously. Lavender honestly thought she was until she saw it for herself how Ron was with Hermione and having her show up felt a little obsessive. "Honestly, not anymore." Lavender replied, smiling softly. Dean was satisfied with that answer and they continued to talk.
