Chapter Two - What happened after Hogwarts?
This is now six months later after the class of 2003 graduated.
Harry had just arrived home from work at his house. He was extremely tired, especially from work. He had loads of paperwork to do and a date with an artist he spoke to a week ago named Lynn Carpenter. Lynn had black hair, around shoulder length and always wore at least one item pink. Harry had just found out that Lynn has had a crush on him for months. Oh no, he had fifty minutes to get ready. He had absolutely no time to start on his paperwork for the ministry. It was due in five days anyway so he could do it tomorrow if he had time.
By the time Harry was ready the doorbell rang. Lynn was at the door. "Hi Harry are you ready yet. Have you ever been to the Mezza's Grande Restaurant? The food is supposed to be delicious." " Yeah I've heard of it. Isn't it owned by the famous Melissa Sparkles herself? Cause if it is....." " Please can we go there Harry, pretty please with a cherry on top."asked Lynn in a very sweet voice. " Oh okay, if you put the cherry on top I suppose why not. But the food" " Harry, no nagging" " Fine fine. Tonight there will be a nagging free guarantee ok." " A-OK" and with that Lynn and Harry went off to the very posh restaurant, owned by the famous Melissa Sparkles who used to be best friends with Harry's twin sister and if we go on it will take ten pages so lets just put a stop to that chain........... now!
"You don't have to worry if Malfoy or Sparkles would be there anyway. She owns the restaurant but she doesn't work there. She's also a fashion designer for the witch and wizard models. Ooh how I love the clothes she makes." said Lynn while her and Harry were walking in to the restaurant.
" Hello my name is Wendy Woodridge and I will be your waitress tonight. Wendy had long black hair and was wearing a purple top and skirt up to the knees. Now if you would like to, you see the tall red headed man right over at table 1246, he asked me if you would like to join him and his date at their table tonight?" Harry turned his head, trying to find the table and eventually he saw Ron and his sister Jane waving at him and Lynn. They politely waved back. Lynn nodded her head to Harry, meaning that she agreed that she would like to join them. " Yes Wendy, my date and I would like to join the lovely couple tonight." "Right well I'm also their waitress tonight and I better start going over there anyway because I have to ask for all of your order anyway." said Wendy. "Oh yes and when we get there can I please have both of your autographs, yes including yours, I just love your paintings." " Oh thank you" said Lynn, trying hard not to go pink.
After five long minutes of walking, they at last got to the table where Ron and Jane were sitting. "Oh hello Ron, Jane. Do you remember Lynn from the art museum we visited?" asked Harry " Ooh how can I forget. One day your paintings will be famous Lynn. You know that, I know that, everyone knows that" said Jane. " Well thank you very much" said Lynn while trying hard not to blush. " Ron, I have to ask. Are you trying to be the next Professor Trawnley or is it sheer dumb luck for you knowing that we were coming here." As Harry was saying that he turned staring at Lynn. "Well I thought it would be nice to have a dinner with your friends." said Lynn " Don't forget sister" said Jane. "That's ok Lynn that was very thoughtful of you." Said Harry
"Don't look now but nitwit and dumbo is coming our way." said Ron trying not to jump out of his seat to have a nice little chat to them, not! " Now Ron, you know I'm still friends with Melissa. She's still nice to all of us." said Jane. Anyone who likes Malfoy is stupid." Said Ron. " He may not be nice to us but he is nice to Melissa." said Jane. With that Jane walked over to the table next to them who had just been occupied by Malfoy and Sparkles.
"Oh hello Jane darling how's your business going?" asked Melissa. Jane has a café in Diagon Alley. " The business is going just fine thank you for asking. I don't even need to ask about this restaurant. It's packed. Why are you here anyway?" asked Jane puzzled. " Well Jane, I need to come here sometimes for my dates with Draco here. All the restaurants are how can I put it, not that good." said Melissa. " Now I'm trying to have a private conversation with this beautiful, gorgeous girl here and you Potter, comes along and interrupts." said Draco out of the blue. " Oh please Draco, I haven't spoken to Jane for ages. Oh I'm sorry Jane maybe we should catch up one day maybe have a coffee at your café or somewhere like that?" " That will be lovely Melissa. Well, I'll see you." But that sentence didn't finish. Behind Melissa and Jane was a quarrel against Ron and Draco. Well I wouldn't call it a quarrel. Maybe just an argument with a few pushes and shoves.
"Why are you here Malfoy?" asked Ron while being pulled back by Harry. Half of the people in the restaurant were already looking their way. " It's a free country Weasley, which is a good thing for you." "That's it, why not let go of me Harry so I can give him a good punch on the nose" said Ron, attempting to pull away from Harry. " Well I'm not going to Ron. I even want to punch him in the nose but do you see me trying to, no. We're not schoolboys anymore." said Harry. "Harry, I thought that you will be on my side." "But I am" said Harry " What Harry was trying to say was to just ignore the rat and he won't bother anymore." said Lynn, starting to get nervous that not only one fight, but two fight will start. "You're right lets just ignore Malfoy and get on with eating. For goodness sakes we haven't even eaten the entrée yet." said Jane smiling.
So both of the table groups went on eating a having a great time. Even Harry had to admit, both the service and the food was the best he ever had. Except perhaps the Hogwarts feast, that would have to be the best. The dessert was Ron's best course. Where in that course it's all you can eat. Jelly, cakes, pancakes topped with syrup, treacle pudding the lot. Jane's favourite food was the mini chicken drumsticks. They were soo tasty. Lynn wanted the recipe for the carrot cake that she ate. So near the end Melissa asked the chef for the recipe and handed it to Lynn.
"So Jane I'll meet you at your café next Friday. I'll just love to catch up with you. Oh yeah and about the Graduation evening. I'm sorry if I upset you Jane. I just wanted to help out. I promise you that I don't do those silly lectures anymore. Also this is for everyone. Draco would like to say a few words to all of you ahem Draco, don't you have something to say?" said Melissa smirking " I'm so sorry about, everything. Is that fine Melissa?"said Draco pouting. " Yes that is now stop pulling that stupid face. You'll be sorry if the wind changes." Said Melissa " Ha Ha Ha" said Draco. "Well Melissa I'll see you next Friday and please say hello to your mum and dad for me?" said Jane. "Of course, see you all." And with that Melissa and Draco went.
" See I told you she's still nice." Said Jane as they were walking to the reception desk. " Well I hope you had a wonderful time at Mezza's Grande Restaurant and I hope you can come again." Said Wendy as they were leaving. "Oh yeah, Wendy here's my autograph you wanted and if you ever want a painting for your home, you know where to find me." Said Lynn in her usual cheery voice. " Um, thanks" said Wendy in a confused voice. Then whispers to Harry. " Do you know where to find her?" "Of course. You can always go to the art museum near here and ask the receptionist that you would like to see her. But the catch is that there is a password. You can ask Lynn for the password right now." Said Harry "Um Lynn, what's the password so I can see you?" asked Wendy. " Oh, silly me the password is" and with that Lynn whispered to Wendy. " The password is: Pink Wink" "Ok well be better be going now right guys?" asked Jane, who was getting a little impatient. "Oh yeah we better go now too" said Harry and put a five pound note in the tip box and they all walked out and back to their car.
Harry and Lynn was just walking up to Lynn's door. It was pretty late. "I would just like to say Harry, that was a wonderful dinner." "It was wasn't it" said Harry. " Oh well I better be going, Percy will be over the roof if I'm not in on time for work. Maybe we can have dinner again sometime?" said Harry and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Yeah maybe we should" said Lynn as Harry rode off on his Firebolt2001. With that Lynn walked in to her house and went to sleep. When Harry got home, Hedwig was soaring right at him with quite a few letters. Hedwig landed on his shoulder and gave Harry a little nip on his ear. Harry pick up the letters. There were two and a small, but hard package.
The first letter he opened was from Hermione. Gee he hasn't heard from her for a long time. The letter said:
To Harry,
How's life going.
Mine is fine. I'm working at Hogwarts as the new Arithmancy teacher. See I told you if you picked better subjects than divination it will help you. You're working at the Ministry, Jane told me. What area though?
Maybe we should meet up someday, including Ron and Jane.
Send me an owl ASAP with a date that would be suitable for you, and for me (before school starts)
Hope to see you soon
From Hermione
P.S- Hope you like the birthday present I sent you.
Harry opened the package. WOW! It was a broomstick alarm. Just what Harry needed.
Harry put the alarm and Hermione's letter down and picked up the other letter that got sent. It was from Hogwarts. Harry opened the letter. It said:
To Mr. Harry Potter,
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry wish to congratulate you about the graduation. It has now been six months and we are holding a school renunion for the year seven class of 2003. It is held on the 1st August at 7:00pm.
Hope you are able to come!
From Professor Albus Dumbledore
Principal at Hogwarts
P.S- Bring a date!
