Meetings and Surprises

A beautiful, young woman twenty-three years of age, with fiery red hair sat outside a small London, café alone at a table. She was slowly flipping the pages of a muggle magazine that she had found abandoned on the table in which she sat.

She was waiting for the rest of her party to arrive. Since she was able to leave work early, she was the first of her group to arrive at their meeting place.

Ginny Weasley and her friends would get together at least once a week to talk and catch up on events in their lives.

Just then Ginny heard someone call out her name, it was Hermione walking hand in hand with Ron, Ginny's older brother. The couple had been together since their sixth year and were still very much in love.

The two sat down in the chairs across from Ginny. "So how has your day been so far Ginny?" asked Hermione.

"Oh! Its been wonderful, the shop is doing so well, I left early because it's Friday, you know, but Sarah and Jake are handling things for me, they truly are wonderful to have around." Ginny said beaming.

Three years ago after she had graduated Hogwarts, she opened up a small coffee and tea shop in Diagon Alley, of course she did barrow some money from her brothers Fred and George to get started but she was now more then well off.

"I'm glad to see you so happy Ginny," Hermione told her.

"Excuse me are you ready to order?" the waiter came by and asked.

"Yes!" Ron said.

Hermione elbowed him sharply in the stomach and said to the waiter, "No we are waiting for one more."

With that the waiter left, leaving Ron to mumble, " Bloody hell Hermione."

"Well we have to wait for Harry," She said while checking her watch. "He's never late, wonder why he isn't here yet, its not like him," she added.

"He is probably just caught up at the office, when I left to pick you up he was filling out some paperwork." Ron explained to his girlfriend.

Fifteen more minutes passed with Ginny and Hermione conversing about their jobs, while Ron listened with no interest, just then Harry's voice cut in, "Hey guys," he said.

They all turned to find Harry Potter standing there with a big silly grin on his face. They could all see why too. He was standing there hand in hand with a gorgeous young woman, she had light golden brown hair, and honey eyes, perfect teeth, and tan skin. She wore a short white skirt and a low cut pink shirt, which complemented her very well.

"Hi Harry," Hermione managed to say, "Who's your friend?"

"This is Vanessa everyone, Vanessa I'd like you to meet my friends Ron, Hermione, and Ginny," Harry introduced.

"It's a pleasure to meet all of you," Vanessa said in a soft and polite voice.

Ginny rose from her seat, "Why don't you two sit her next to each other and I just go ask the waiter to bring an extra chair for me," she told the two.

"Thank you Gin," Harry said.

Once Ginny returned the group ordered their food and continued to talk for an hour, well Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Vanessa did anyway. Ginny was so bored and felt like the fifth wheel in the group.

She finally announce to the group, "I should really be going back to the shop,"

Vanessa said, "It was nice to have met you."

Ginny gave a polite smile and said good-bye to her friends.

Ginny was not proud of the fact that she had just lied to her friends, but that had to be the worst get together that they had of all time. It had always been just the four of them, not even Neville and Luna were invited, but she guessed times were changing.

She arrived at her flat that was just a few blocks away from the café. She didn't know what to do, she had taken the rest of the day off to be with her friends but she couldn't do that now.

She sat on her living room couch and picked up that week's issue of "Witch Weekly," which she had not had time to ready yet. She found it unusually hard to concentrate for some reason her mind kept going back to the sight of seeing Harry holding the hand of his new girlfriend Vanessa.

As if to make matters worse, when she turned the page of the magazine in great, bold letters the article read, "Harry Potter Finds New Love?" and under it there was a rather large picture of him exchanging a kiss with the woman, Ginny had just met at the café.

Ginny quickly closed the magazine and threw it across the room. Why hadn't Harry mentioned to any of them that he was seeing someone? They were supposed to be his best friends.

The next moment there was a loud "pop" behind her. Ginny turned quickly to find Hermione standing there.

"How did you know I was here? I said that I was going back to the shop," Ginny asked her friend amazed.

"Honestly Ginny who do you think I am? Besides you said that you had taken the rest of the day off," Hermione pointed out to her. She then walked over and sat next to Ginny on the couch.

"I suppose, I did, didn't I?" Ginny replied.

"What's a matter with you anyway Ginny, you hardly spoke at all during lunch an just left to come and sit here by yourself," Hermione wanted to know.

"Nothing I'm fine," Ginny said.

"Don't you lie to me Ginny Weasley, I know you well enough to know when something is bothering you." Hermione told her in a stern tone.

"Its nothing Hermione I promise, I'm just being stupid that's all," Ginny told her friend.

"Well, I've got a feeling that I'm not going to be able to work this one out, it is between you and him," Hermione said in a wise manner.

"Him who is him?" Ginny questioned feeling very confused.

Hermione sighed, "You know very well that you were just fine until Harry showed up with Vanessa."

"Hermione how can you blame me? I mean first of all he was late, then her brings a total stranger to our weekly get together, and not to mention the fact that we, his best friends are the last to know about his very public relationship," Ginny's voice was starting to rise in anger.

"What do you mean by 'his very public relationship?'" Hermione asked.

Ginny got up walking over to the other side of the room, picking up the copy of

"Witch Weekly," that she had just threw, flipping to the article, and shoved it under her friend's nose.

"Wow, guess your right about public," Hermione gasped, "but I did know that he was seeing someone."

"You what? No one bothered to tell me? I just have to wait and find out even after the entire wizard world because guess what Hermione this magazine is almost a week old and I only found out today!" Ginny shouted now outraged.

"I would have told you if I had known that you didn't know," snapped Hermione, " I just wonder why he didn't tell you, I mean after all you do spend more time with him then any of us."

"Well I can tell you why, because he's a great git," Ginny yelled still very angry.

"Yes well, I came over for another reason besides Harry's love life." Hermione said trying to change the subject.

"What?" snapped Ginny.

"Ron and I are going to this new club with Harry and Vanessa tonight and they asked me to invite you," Hermione told Ginny with a glint of hope in her eye.

"Well why didn't they invite me then?" asked Ginny.

"Because I was on my way over hear anyway to see if you were alright," Hermione told her.

"Why should I go? It sounds like one of those damned couples things." Ginny said trying to find a good argument.

"Oh no really its not," Hermione said in a rush, "Please say that you'll come, you might meet someone."

"I don't want to meet anyone, I'm to busy for a relationship right now, you know that," Ginny protested.

Hermione just rolled her eyes Ginny always said that even though she wasn't at all busy with anything, the shop was doing very well, and she had hired help.

"I'll think about is okay," Ginny said.

"Fine meet tonight at eight at Ron's flat, and mine" and with that Hermione apperated, leaving Ginny alone once again.
