Finally Potter
Chapter thirty
Lunch arrived and it wasn't soon enough for the three work colleagues. Ginny convinced them to get into the lift with her and they headed up to the Auror headquarters. When they got to the floor they found that it was packed and Fosters was yelling at somebody.
Ron was stood to one side and looked very angry and next to him was Harry shaking his head gently. Then Fosters opened the door and demanded that people headed back into the room. She then knew that the trainees had messed something up and were in deep trouble.
Leading the way Ginny took Richard and Robbie over to Ron and Harry. The two boys smiled as they saw her. She stopped just in front of them.
"What happened?"
"Oh took the trainees out on a routine clear out, you know we had word that some wizard had some dark materials and one of them let him escape and well Fosters isn't happy. What you doing here?"
"Came to see if you wanted to join us for lunch."
So the five headed out of the ministry to a local muggle café to enjoy a quick lunch. Ginny was sat next to Ron and Robbie with Harry next to Richard opposite. She smiled kindly and realised her mistake she hadn't introduced them.
"Oh you'll have to forgive me my head is still high on drink. Guys this is my brother Ron and my fiancé Harry, and this is Robbie and Richard they're Unspeakables too."
"I'm actually a trainee."
"Don't worry mate we've all been there, well except Harry."
Richard laughed as Harry put on a superior look. The woman came over and took their orders and then as she walked away Harry looked closely at Robbie.
"What happened to you?"
"Your fiancée did."
Harry looked confused and Ginny spoke up quietly.
"Apparently something did happen to me last night, but Robbie was my hero."
"Well I couldn't let anything happen to you now could I? Percy's little sister you need protecting."
Ginny looked sideways at Ron.
"Do you remember those twins that were in Percy's year?"
"Oh the irresponsible ones that needed to learn how to act their age?"
Ginny nodded and looked at Robbie.
"Those were Percy's words and not ours. Well it was Robbie here and Ernst another colleague."
Harry though was watching her closely through all this.
"What happened?"
"I don't know."
He turned to look at Robbie and the man gently wrapped an arm around Ginny's shoulder as he looked at Harry.
"We were in the Cauldron last night having a laugh and we were all drunk, although somehow I was less so than the rest. Anyway Ginny was dancing with Rich when a group of guys came in, among them is I believe one of your favourite people, Draco Malfoy."
Ginny saw Harry's face turn sour and she could feel Ron stiffening next to her.
"I'm okay though that's the main thing."
"What did Malfoy do?"
Robbie looked sideways at Ron and smiled a little.
"Try to do you mean. Well he and his buddies were laughing about something then he spotted Ginny and moved over to her. He had his hands on her within seconds and she was trying to pull away. I got up and I could hear him say he'd show her what a real man is, something about how you and a guy called Neville were never man enough for her."
"HE WHAT!"
Ginny watched as Richard edged slightly away from Harry and she bit her lip looking sideways at Robbie as he continued with the story.
"Yeah well, he's a Malfoy. Anyway I moved over and put my arm around Ginny and asked him what he thought he was doing. He had his hand up her shirt and I pulled on his arm and then pulled Ginny behind me. He was really annoyed and he kept going on about how he'd have Ginny so I punched him, flat out on his back. Only thing his mates jumped on me then. Lucky Clive and Rich were still there pulled them off me. Well then I dropped Gin off at yours and went to St. Mungos."
Both boys were quiet for a moment then Ron spoke up.
"Thanks for taking care of my sister."
Robbie nodded as Harry grinned.
"Wish I'd seen you flatten Malfoy."
Robbie laughed and the four boys got lost in the conversation about what they would like to do to Malfoy. Their lunch came and they ate it joking all the while and before they realised it they were heading back up to the ministry for the afternoon.
Ginny followed Richard through the door into the veil room and when he stopped suddenly she banged into him. Robbie just managed to stop behind her and the pair peered around Richard and down into the room.
Opal was sat on the lower tier and she had Clive's head resting in her lap. Ginny shared a look with the two boys and quietly they headed down to the bottom. Ginny stopped just a little above Opal and waved at Clive. He quickly sat up and Opal turned to look at them as Rich spoke up.
"Nice of you to join us."
Ginny caught the blush that spread up Opal's face and she dropped into a seat next to her friend.
"So what happened to you last night then?"
Ginny caught the small look shared between Opal and Clive and grinned the older girl though swatted her and the three boys laughed.
"Okay so you've guessed it Weasley, let's get back to work."
"Oh but come on Opal details."
Clive answered for Opal causing Ginny to spin and look at him.
"We were drunk, didn't know what we were doing, it was a one time thing."
Ginny just nodded as she stood up and moved to the veil with the recording tools. A breeze lifted her hair and she shivered slightly Opal was next to her within seconds and the group carried on with their work.
