~ Thursday

'Hey, I have to go in today do you want to meet for lunch?' she asked over breakfast.

'If it pleases you?'

'Yes or no? simple question, Sev. I don't know what your schedule is as it is a full day.' she snarled at him. 'And yes I can and will snarl at you when needed.' she grinned.

'Fine yes, but it will need to be around one? I have a meeting this morning and will be getting a late start brewing.'

'Now how hard was that? I would have shown at 12 and you wouldn't have been able to leave.' as she spun around to kiss him goodbye. 'See ya later. Meet you in the cafeteria at one.' as she left the room. She showered and went to the MoM to pick up some research papers she needed and then met Severus for lunch. She didn't notice Lucius pass by as she showed Severus the papers.

'Are you regretting the way you treated her last week?' Harry said as he passed Lucius. 'I figured you would have pulled out all the stops to reel her in. You snooze you lose. Sorry 'ol chap.' patting him on the back 'If you want we can find some gold-digger for your next date.' and he left.

They read together in the library that evening, 'Oh, We still need to go get you a dress for tomorrow night, so shopping at noon'

'I have a dress, I am the Gryffindor Princess and I'm gonna set my own standards! Do you have a casual suit? A muggle suit?'

'No, why?'

'Well we will be shopping for you then.'
