Author's Note: I hope you enjoy! Dedicated to ChoFrog09, my number one, err… Cho-Frog! Also I'd like to say "hello" to Goldielocktook and Unicorn13, my best friends here on On with the show, now:
Maybe life wasn't so bad for the blind young wizard. As I mentioned earlier, he was going out to lunch with Ginny and Hermione today and as he dressed (Ginny, Miss Fashion-Plate of the Weasley household, left out a great outfit for him), he felt that something… unusual was going to happen after lunch. Hermione, already dressed in her semi-frilly white blouse and flared floral jeans, called, "Harry! Is it alright with you if we have a friend meet us while we're eating?" Harry thought for a minute that this was a major coincidence. He was just thinking something atypical was going to take place and here it came waltzing into the room. "Uh, yeah! S'fine!" he replied. He was half-lying to himself. He wanted it to be just him and his friends. But he wanted to meet this person. He thought of the infinite possibilities of what he might experience with this person. Heck, it might be someone he knew. So, why not?
Hermione was sticking her wand hand out and waiting for the Knight Bus. "What does it take for a witch to get a ride around here?" she demanded somewhat loudly. She had every right to since she had been standing like that for about 10 minutes. Ginny made herself busy by straightening Harry's collar. Then he asked, staring expressionlessly into space (he can open his eyes now, but he still can't see), "Who are we going to meet, anyway?" Ginny paused for a while as she shared a worried glance with Hermione, who overheard his question. "Her name is err… Michiko. Yeah, that's it. Friend from school," she answered a bit hurriedly. "Oh, okay," came the apprehensive reply. Then the Knight Bus appeared with its customary BANG! Harry, Hermione, and Ginny climbed on, stating that they were heading for the Leaky Cauldron. The 29-year-old Stan Shunpike bid them a good day, and told a very aged Ernie to step on it.
"Remind me NEVER to hit Mr. Shunpike again," Ginny said, relieved to be off the bus. She had gotten impatient with Stan for being so repetitive about Harry's going blind, hence the fact that she hit him (then he hexed and un-hexed her twice). "You're a Weasley. In other words, 'Temper, temper,'" Hermione scolded. Ginny gave her a dagger-look, which Harry sensed and laughed at quietly. "Let's get going," Hermione semi-ordered. A few minutes later, they found themselves sitting at an outdoor table of Cibo (A/N: That's a real restaurant, one of my favorites, actually. But I don't go very often). After Ginny had excused herself twice, the food finally came and they began to eat. Hermione and Ginny began passing notes to one another (because obviously a certain Harry wouldn't notice at all!), Hermione beginning with a, "Do you think he suspects what we're up to?"
Ginny: "No, of course not."
Hermione: "But his tone this morning…"
Ginny: "No, that's his 'sleepy' tone." (A/N: Ha, ha!)
Hermione: "I really hope he doesn't find out. I know they're right for each other!"
Ginny: "Yes! Oh yes, yes, they ARE!"
Hermione: "I hope she doesn't realize it's actually a blind date. The fact that she sort of changed her name should help a bit."
Ginny: "Mione, it's her REAL name. 'Cho' was just her nickname."
A/N: Oooh… look at that! How about that, ChoFrog! Tell me if you're happy, cause I like my Cho-Frogs happy! Sorry, Goldielocktook (a.k.a. Meli), but I was in the mood for a Harry Potter X Cho Chang shipper! Oh, and as for the rest of ya… R. E. V. I. E. W. S. He, he!
Unicorn13: Sorry I took so long to update, me term paper's due any day now. Writing's just a stress reliever now until April… hey, did you receive my pictures, girlfriend?
Angel3ve: Thank you for anticipating and being so patient! Yes, poor guy. But it's semi-based on Dare Devil, just to shed some light on the discussion!
Goldielocktook: Faithful girl bud! Did you get my pictures?
