Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! EVERYTHING IS JKR'S! Well except for my name and
Bilal...
A/N: In this story there are going to be MANY a cameo made by myself and by my friends but you won't really know unless you are one of them. So just pretend that all these weird names are just some characters you never heard of!!

Ginny was so relieved that the whole ordeal with the Muggles was over that she hardly noticed him before he said something to her.
"Hello Ginny."
"Harry! Uh... hi. What are you still doing here?"
She said, just realizing who was standing there in front of her.
"Well I just never see you anymore. we always seem to miss each other. Either you just left, or you came after I left, or you weren't there and I was, or I wasn't and you were. I mean it's been five years since I graduated and I have hardly seen you five times!"
"I'm just really busy and I know you are. I really don't get to go to as many Family things, and such as I wish I could. I guess we just seem to not be at the same place at the same time."
Penny would find that little fib laughable too. Considering the lengths that Ginny went to, to avoid harry. She didn't even really know why she did it, now that she was standing here in front of him. Things really weren't that uncomfortable.
"How would you like to go grab a bite to eat? We could catch up with one another! Ron's told me a bit about what it is you do, but you know him, he isn't all that good at explaining things like that. It was something having to do with the medical field, right? But you blend Magical and Muggle treatments?"
"Yes, it's a bit like that." Ginny replied. "and lunch sounds good, I can explain it then. How about.well there's a Muggle restaurant just down the street that."
but she was cut off as Harry spoke,
".that has really great food and it's owned by like some Muslim people?"
Ginny nodded.
"I love that place! How do you know about it, Ginny?"
"Well I don't know if you ever knew about the guy I dated 7th year at hogwarts, but some of his relatives here own it."
"Oh, I see. I hadn't ever heard of him before now. You'll have to tell me about that too."
and so they started to chat and walk down to YFC (Yousufzai's Fried Chicken)
~*~*~*~*~*~
When they got to YFC it was a bit crowded since it was right around lunch time, but they managed to snag a table by a the large window facing the street.
"So you said you know the people who own this place or something?" Harry said, sipping the COKE the waitress had just brought him.
"Yeah, in seventh year I dated this guy named Bilal, and some of his relatives own this place."
"So this guy went to Hogwarts? I don't think I have ever heard his name."
"Well he was in Ravenclaw. He was a real sweet guy. I still see him some times, just a while ago I went to his wedding. He married this girl from Hufflepuff named Kate. She seems really great too. I think they will be real happy together. "
"Yeah, it seems like a lot of people I know are getting married too. About a month ago Dean and Parvati finally got married! But I must say it's a bit depressing for me going to weddings. I have no love life at all. I mean I'm sure you do, but for me weddings are just like. like seeing what I don't have or rather what I should have."
"Oh, I absolutely know what you mean! It is the same for me! My love life does stink. I guess it's just because I'm so busy, but it's really hard to meet anyone, let alone someone who isn't a complete prat."
"I know exactly what you mean. You keep talking about being so busy so tell me what exactly it is that you do?"
"Well, it's rather hard to explain.I do mainly research into how to heal things. I work with all kinds of ailments, anything from new disease to the common cold. The only difference from other wizards in the medical field is that I went to a Muggle school and got my degree in Biology. It was really helpful because now I can look at things from a very scientific standpoint. actually some Muggle treatments are quite advanced, considering that can't use magic."
"How did you get into a university? Where did you tell them you went for secondary school?"
"Well McGonagall just changed the names of my classes to what they would correspond to in a Muggle school. I still left the name of my school as Hogwarts though. I will say, a lot of people found the name to be rather strange. everytime I told someone where I went to "secondary" school they would give me weird looks. I thought it was terribly funny, I mean what if I had told them the whole name, told them I went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That would have been a real kick!"
Ginny laughed and so did Harry, she guessed he could imagine the look of bewilderment on one of the Muggles he knew.
"Yes, that would be rather amusing. That's really great that you can blend the Muggle world and the Magical world like that. I guess I really should have gone to university too, but I guess I learned enough in primary school to get by. I know enough to use a computer for my research and that is really about as much as I blend the worlds."
"Well, now I've told you everything about what I do, but you haven't told me a thing about what you're up to these days."
"What do I do. it's a bit hard to explain really. Do you remember when Bill was a Curse Breaker for Gringotts and he worked in places like Egypt and such? Well I do something similar, except that I go all sorts of places looking for Muggle and Magical artifacts. Mostly they are the ones that could be of great use, or great value. Did you know there are actually many Muggle stories that are supposed to be fictional, but are actually rooted in fact? The fact being that the objects ff Magical values really are from the Magical world."
"Wow! That sounds really fascinating!"
"Yeah it's really interesting. You get to go to new places and learn new things just about everyday. But, I mean, so do you! You get to look at, practically, other worlds there under the microscope!
"That is very true!"
They continued to chat and eat for an hour or so, and had some Chai afterwards. They talked about all kinds of things, like Percy and Penelope, and if they were ever going to have children, they talked about pretty much all the Weasleys, they talked about things in the Magical world, and things in the Muggle world, it was a very interesting conversation indeed. I think anyone sitting near by would have thought so too. As they were getting up to leave Ginny spotted the chap she knew from Hogwarts, a long with his new wife. They seemed to look vaguely familiar to Harry.
"Bilal! Hey you guys! How's it going? I haven't seen you since the wedding!"
"Ginny, it's so good to see you!" said the man, as she hugged him and his wife in turn. "What are you doing here any way? On a date?" asked his wife.
"NO! Not a date, just a meal." Ginny said. seeming a bit embarrassed that someone would assume they were on a date. "Harry, this is Bilal and Kate Yousufzai. Bilal, Kate, this is Harry Potter."
Harry shook each of their hands in turn, and neither of them asked if he were THE Harry Potter, or tired to get a look at his scar or suddenly seem uncomfortable at the thought of being in close contact with him. These two, they seemed like good people. Not so obsessed with fame like so many other people he met these days and that he had met over his entire life living in the Magical community.
Ginny chattered on with the newly weds, and Harry joined in occasionally. She got their phone number and found out that they both had e-mail so she got their addresses, and gave them hers. She too used a computer for research, and to keep up with what was going on in the medical community outside of the Magical world. Harry couldn't help but notice what her e- mail was and it stuck in his mind for some reason, girlweasley1@hotmail.com, he thought it was pretty relevant, indeed. Maybe one day he would drop her a line or something.
The conversation drew to a close and Harry and Ginny walked to the street. Here they parted with Ginny promising to try to come to more events, so they could keep in touch, and Harry secretly knowing they would keep in touch since he had acquired such a vital piece of information..
A/N: Thanks for reading! Do review won't you? Also, if there are any like STRANGE capitalizations it's because I was trying to use this online spell check thing and it did it all in CAPS then it did every word capitalized and I had to go back through and change it!!!!! **Hits computer really hard over the monitor**
