The next day at the Leaky Cauldron.
"Excuse me Miss, but are you Regina?" asked a slightly embarrassed Gregory.
Hermione felt compelled to say no but then remembered that her name was supposed to be Regina Jones.
"Uh, yes. Yes I am." blurted out Hermione aware that Gregory had started to back away because she had been looking at him like he was crazy.
"Well, hi. I'm Gregory Thomas."
"Hello. Nice to meet you."
"Let's order lunch shall we? And then we can get to know each other a little better." suggested Gregory.
"Ok." was all that Hermione could mutter softly.
They both ordered lunch and Gregory suddenly launched into talking about himself and his family. Hermione couldn't get a word in even if she wanted to. As it happened Gregory was Dean Thomas' older brother. Hermione hurridly ate her lunch and excused herself saying she had to get back to work.
"Ok. Call me !" shouted Gregory behind her as she left.
While she walked back to Ginny's house she muttered to herself.
"I can't believe how conceited he is ! He was so busy talking about himself that I doubt if he would have noticed that I left if I hadn't said something ! "
When Hermione got home she went to her room and made a checkmark in her book. Next to it she wrote 'Not A Chance.' She got a book and settled down happy that one date was over but dreading the next nine dates.
