Harry stood, in the rain staring at the door long after Lexi was gone. His clothes were completely soaked through, but he didn't care. The people in the streets were beginning to stare at him and whisper about why he had been standing there so long, but he didn't care.

"Excuse me, sir, I need to get through," said a middle aged woman in a black trenchcoat holding a young child in one arm and an umbrella in the other hand, trying her best to stay dry.

Harry smiled at her before beginning to walk down the dark, raining street, listening to the rain pound on the cement as though it were music.

Above him, the sky was clouded over and lightening lit up the sky.

He never once considered apparating home, the night was too beautiful and serene.

As he walked down the sidewalk, rain hitting the ground in near hail all around him, he began to hum a cheery tune and walk with a certain pep in his step, the likes of which the young auror had never done.

Eventually, he reached the steps to his appartment building and he bounced up them, two at a time, still whistling.

Instead of taking the lift like any sane person who was dripping wet, he took the stairs up to his flat two at a time, still whistling.

Upon reaching his doorstep, he jiggled the knob a little as he stuck the key he didn't know he still had in the lock and opened the door, still whistling.

"Hey, Harry, how was your--" Hermione began, sprawled out on the couch in her pajamas with her wand in her hand, eyeing the wall opposite her, "Why are you so wet?"

"Hello," Harry said cheerfully as he walked to put up his coat as though it weren't dripping wet. "Lovely evening."

A puddle of water formed on the hardwood floor.

"Are you alright?" Hermione asked, eyeing him suspiciously. She couldn't remember him ever being this happy.

"I'm just fabulous," Harry said, throwing his soaking wet self onto the couch beside his best friend with a giddy smile on his face. "And how are you?"

"I--I'm alright," Hermione stuttered in confusion.

"That's nice," He said as he stared at the wall with a dazed, but incredibly happy look on his face. "Whatcha been up to?"

"Trying to figure out if I should blast through that wall there," Hermione said as she eyed the wall and fiddled her wand between the thumb and index finger over her right hand.

"Go for it," Harry said cheerfully.

Hermione turned to him in complete and utter confusion.

"What?"

"You have fun, I'm going to bed," Harry said as he gave her a kiss on her forehead and walked to his room with a bit of a bounce in his step.

Hermione watched his retreating back, mouth hanging open.

"Hermione?" Harry called out in a daze from his bed where he was currently sprawled out face down and covered with one sheet. Where oh where had the other one gone?

No answer.

Looking at the clock, he realized it was early Monday morning. He had to report into work in thirty minutes. The rest of the weekend had been spent staring off into space with a goofy look on his face as he replayed his date with Lexi over and over and over again. Each time leaving him just as awestruck as the last.

As a matter of fact, that's what he thought he would do right now. Yes, yes it sounded like a good idea, didn't it?

Just as he was getting to his favorite part, he heard a buzzing noise from the next room.

"Herm-i-on-ee?" Harry called out distractedly.

Just then, a paper-airplane charmed to fly slipped through the crack under the bedroom door and flew across the room straight toward him.

Apparently, it was also charmed to attack him, because that's what it did.

"Ow, ow!" Harry screamed out as he tried to grab hold of the paper which was currently zooming tauntingly in circles around his head.

Fortunately, all the years spent Gryffindor's seeker had some use and he managed to catch the paper before it could gouge his eye--or eyes--out.

As he unfolded it, he recognized Hermione's neat handwriting.

Harry,

Just want to let you know not to worry about me. I finally broke down and went to a healer.

Much love,
Hermione

Harry turned the paper over, looking for more writing. He could hardly believe that Hermione would write him a two sentence letter. Back when they had first graduated from Hogwarts, one of her favorite hobbies had been sending him eight page and longer letters that took him hours to read.

He didn't have much time to dwell on the topic though because glancing at the clock, he realized he had spent the last twenty minutes day dreaming about Lexi!

He rolled out of bed and ran to the closet only to find that he had no clean clothes. Grunting, he looked around the room to find an almost clean outfit.

T-shirt and jeans worn last Tuesday to buy groceries. Hardly smelled at all. It would have to do.

He brushed his teeth quickly, ran a hand through his hair, put on his glasses, and with a pop, he was in his office, standing behind the desk, looking at Lexi.

"H-hi," She said awkwardly as she took in his appearance. She herself was wearing a black tank top and an old pair of blue jeans with her hair pulled back in a loose braid.

"Hello," Harry said, suddenly very self conscious that his clothes did smell, even if just a tiny bit.

Before either of them could say anything else, Lexi had walked around the desk, grabbed him by the waist, and pinned him up against the wall, snogging him ferociously.

After the surprise wore off, Harry found himself give in.

"Here," She said, pulling away a little too soon in Harry's opinion and handing him a stack of paperwork.

"What's this?" Harry asked, trying to keep his composure as he read skimmed the title.

"It's the paperwork to transfer me," Lexi said, not looking him in the eye.

"But--" Harry began in shock. Had he done something wrong? Why was she leaving?

"You know you'd get fired and I'll get booted out if we get caught." She said, looking at him questioningly, "I figured I'd give you the paperwork and let you decide."

"You're leaving?" Harry managed to choke out as she turned around to walk out the room.

"I'm going get a cup of orange juice or something," Lexi said as she walked into the hall.

Harry sat down at his desk, heads in his hands, staring at the top page of the paperwork in shock.

"Mr. Potter," A voice said from his doorway.

Harry looked up to see Mr. Edwards' secretary.

"Yes?" Harry asked in a daze.

"Mr. Edwards would like to see you," She said before turning around and walking out.

Harry stared at her back in confusion for a moment before standing up and following her towards his boss's office, trying to figure out what reason his boss would have for needing to see him.

"You wanted to see me, sir," Harry said as he stood in the doorway.

"Yes, Harry, do come in," Mr. Edwards said, gesturing to the seat across from his desk.

Harry walked in and sat in the seat as he looked around. The desk was stacked high with organized files, paperwork, and memos.

"I was wondering if you could give me any reason for your friend's sudden resignation?" Mr. Edwards asked.

"What?" Harry asked in complete confusion.

"So you don't know either," He said as he shuffled the papers around on his desk before pulling out a letter.
