Disclamier: I give all credit from this story to JK Rowlings, because she gave me, and all other FanFic writers this wonderful world to write about.
Out to Lunch
" Mr. Potter, the anniversry of the Battle is comeing up in a week, and there will be a dinner. The Minister will be there, also the Bulgarian Minister, with others." A small brown haired man sat before Harry. He was Harry's personal assistent the Ministry had paid for. Harry worked as a Auror, but the Ministry always wanted him to attend everything, so he worked every other week.
" Alright, Conner. It's a fancy thing, I suppose."
Conner nodded. " Who would you like on the quest list, sir?"
" Ginny, of course, is Ronald already on the list? And don't call me sir, or Mr. Potter. It's Harry." Harry sighed, he had to say this at least once a day.
" Yes, the eentire Weasly family is on the list, the Ministers request." Conner replied, looking at his notes.
" Okay, then just-" Harry was interuppted by a knock on the door.
A tall blond woman came into the room. " Sir? Miss Weasly is here to see you?" she said, phrasing it as as quistion.
" Send her in, please." Harry responded.
She nodded, and turned to someone outside the door. " You can come in now, m'am." she said, her voice slightly muffled.
Ginny came bounding into the room. " Hey Harry." she said, giving him a peck on the cheek.
Conner, who was still sitting on the chair next to Harry's desk, blushed. " I should go, sir-Harry."
" Oh no, don't go Conner. I just came to hang out, if that's okay. " Ginny said quickly, looking at him.
Conner sat back down, still blushing.
" So what are you two gentlemen doing?" Ginny asked, sitting down on a chair that was up against the wall.
" Well, the Battle anniversery is coming up next week, so there a party, and I'm choosing my guest list." Harry responded.
Ginny nodded. " Who do you have so far?"
" No one, your dad has everyone that I was thinking of already on the list. And Neville, and Seamus work at the ministry, so they're coming."
Ginny nodded, thinking it over. " How about Mandy and Draco?" she said, smiling.
Harry hesitated. " Gin, I...uhh..."
Ginny glared at him. " Harry..." she said warningly.
Harry sighed loudly. " Alright, if I have to..." he said, wheediling.
" You have to." Ginny confirmed.
Conner wrote them down, then spoke up. " Anyone else, Harry?"
Harry shook his head no.
" Well, then we're done for the day." Conner said, gathering his papers.
Harry stood up, and stretched. " Lunch?" Harry asked, turning to Ginny.
" Sure, Conner, join us?" She smiled kindly at him.
Conner shook his head. " I can't my Mother is expecting me. Meatloaf night."
Harry stared at his assistant quizzickly.
Ginny elbowed him when she saw him staring. " Alright, mabye next time."
Conner nodded eagerly, and left.
" So, where to?" Harry asked.
Ginny conisdered it for a moment. " How about I just make you something, okay?"
Harry grinned, and nodded.
" How about we invite Neville, or someone to join us? You know I always make to much." Ginny laughed.
" Sure, Neville's office is right down stairs."
Harry finnaly got down stairs, after spending what seemed forever in the crowded lift.
They walked down the hall, hand in hand. People who were in the halls, smiled and waved at Harry as they passed.
" Dating a famous person is so hard." Ginny said mockingly.
Harry laughed. " Hey, this is Neville's office." He said, stopping at a door.
Ginny turned the door knob, but it was locked.
" He's out with his girlfreind." someone called.
" Girlfreind?" Ginny whispered, giggling.
Harry laughed. " Come on Gin, Nevilles not bad looking...just a little shy."
" No, that's not was what I saying," Ginny protested." I was just suprised."
Harry rolled his eyes. " Alright, well then mabye just us then?"
Ginny nodded. " How does sandwiches sound?"
" Perfect. Why don't we make it a picnic?" Harry responded, rubbing his stomache teasingly.
Ginny put the last two items into the picnic basket, and closed it tightly. " All done, ready?"
" Yep, let's go. How about the park in Hogsmaede?" Harry replied.
" I'll get there first!" she said, giggling. She disapperated away with a pop.
Harry grinned, and followed her.
" Wow, they've done some work." Ginny said, looking around. The park had been built in tribute to Albus Dumbledore, when he'd passed away a year ago. It was popular place for couples, and families.
Harry nodded his agreement, and looked around for a spot to set up.
" How about over there?" Ginny said, pointing to a mostly clear area, there was only one other couple there, and Harry didn't think they would notice if Ginny and him moved over there.
" Alright." He agreed, picking up the basket. He followed Ginny to the area, and helped her spread out the large blue blanket.
Ginny smoothed the edges of the blanket, and got the food out.
" Alright, here's a ham and chees one for you, Harry. And here's my chicken salad sandwich."
Harry gratefully took the sandwich, and bottle of pumpkin juice Ginny was holding out to him.
He opened it, and took a large bite.
Ginny, was looking rather green.
" Fred and Goerge!" Harry said, spitting his own food out.
" I am going to kill them!" Ginny screamed.
Harry looked at his fiance, who's face was starting to turn red.
All of a sudden, he started laughing. Ginny stared at him, her face quizzical.
Then, she stared laughing too, and soon, Harry and Ginny were laughing so hard that they're face's turned red.
" I've..." gasp " got..."gasp " to..." stop!" Ginny sat up, and wiped a ear from her face.
Harry nodded, and stopped after a second to.
" Well, I think everything else is safe enough, why don't we just have that stuff instead?"
Harry nodded his agreement, and opened his drink, tasting it carefully.
It's safe." Harry stated.
Ginny laughed.
They ate in silence for a few minuetes. Then, Ginny gasped.
" What is it, Gin?" Harry asked, conserened.
Ginny giggled, and pointed the couple that was right by them.
Harry looked back at her, then at the couple.
" Look closer, Harry!" Ginny urged.
Harry rolled his eyes. " Why, what abo-" Ginny interupted him.
" Just do it Harry, you'll see why."
Harry sighed, and looked closly.
The man was dark haired, and the woman had unusaully blond hair.
" Neville?" Harry said, awed.
Ginny nodded. " And the girl is..."
" That's not...is it?" Harry said, staring intently at the woman.
Ginny giggled. " Yep, Luna Lovegood."
Harry laughed, mostly from suprise.
" Should we go say hi?" Harry said, still staring.
" Well mabye if you'd stop staring then we could..."
Harry turned away, and looked at Ginny. " Alright, now let's go say hello."
Harry pulled Ginny up, and they walked over to the couple, who were now staring at each other.
" Hello, Neville. Luna." Harry said, smiling at them.
" Hello Harry Potter, and Ginny Weasly." Luna said, not looking up.
Neville, though, looked up imediatly. " Ha...Harry. How are you?" He said, his cheeks buring red.
" Fine, thanks. You?" Harry said, trying not to laugh.
" Uhh...fine. Luna and I were just going on a picnic."
Ginny smiled kindly at him. " I see that. So you guys are dating?"
Neville looked down at his hands.
" Yes. Four months today." Luna answered breezily.
Ginny looked at her, suprised. " Four months? Wow. We stopped by your office, Neville." Ginny said, looking at him. We were going to invite you with us. But someone told us that your were out with your girlfreind."
Neville turned even redder, if possible.
" Alright, well then we should let you get back to your date. Mabye sometime you can go out with Ginny and I." Harry said, grabbing Ginny's arm.
Neville and Luna both nodded.
Harry and Ginny turned and went back to their blanket.
" Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood. Who knew?" Ginny said, laughing again.
