Chapter Eight : The Double Dinner Dining Date

Ginny and Luna stopped outside of a very elegant restaurant. The big sign out front said "5th and 6th Avenue Café." They stepped out of the car and spotted Ron and Harry waiting for them outside the big brass doors. The pair of guys walked briskly over to the car. Ron hugged Luna and Harry slipped Ginny a long kiss on the lips. She took his hand as Luna took Ron's arm and they walked into the dinner joint looking as elegant as royalty.

When the two couples had been seated Harry asked what his three friends would like to drink.

"I'd like to get a beer, Luna?" Ron said.

"OH! A fire whiskey! I'm into those powerful drinks." Ron looked surprised at Luna and smiled at her with a soft look in his eyes. Harry looked at Ginny waiting to hear what she would say.

"Harry, I think I would like to have a glass of white wine." She smiled at Harry and opened her menu, hiding her face. The waiter brought their drinks and they ordered their food. As soon as the couples were settled they began to chat.

"So Ron, I haven't seen you in ages. How are you making a living now a days?" Luna leaned in and smiled. Ron cleared his throat, "Well actually, after graduating I realized I didn't want to go on into aurora training and I became the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. It's a rather good paying job actually." Harry dropped his fork and shook Ron's hand,

"Well done mate! I couldn't think of anyone better to do the job." Luna hugged Ron and congratulated him as well, and Ginny just smiled, she already knew of Ron's job. She jumped slightly as something touched her leg under the table. She looked down and saw Harry's foot. She smiled and nudged his foot under the table, and that began the footzees-war. While the two battled under the table, they began to talk to one another. Ron and Luna were absorbed in their own conversation.

"So where all did you and Ron go?" Ginny asked.

"Oh, well he just drove around. Well we apparated into town, and dropped by the head quarters of The Quibbler. We went into Hogsmede and well, those two just hit it off…So I thought we'd bring them along." Harry smiled at Ginny who blushed and smiled back. "Erm, Ginny, would you like to dance?" Ginny just realized that the restaurant was actually playing music.

"Oh, well alright." Ginny slid out of the booth and took Harry's hand and let him lead to the dance floor.

Harry twirled Ginny into him and held her close. Ginny noticed the closeness and blushed. Harry had his arms wrapped around Ginny's waist holding her tight but softly. Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his chest. They moved to the music. Ginny felt Harry's cheek on hers and felt the heat from hers grow. His cheek moved slowly down her jaw line inching slowly towards her lips. Ginny breathed in nervously as his lips brushed against hers. She sighed deeply and let Harry's tongue into her mouth. The kiss was almost electric. Harry explored Ginny's entire mouth before pulling away from Ginny. Ginny kissed the corners of his mouth as the song ended. He took her hand and they walked back over to the table where they found Ron and Luna engrossed in a conversation on back firing disarming spells.

Luna looked up and smiled mischievously at the pair returning. "Didn't you two look awfully cozy out there on the dance floor?" She asked still smiling.

"What are you going on about Lovegood?" Harry asked sitting down across from Ron.

"Oh come off it Harry, we saw the two of you out there, snogging like mad." Ron said putting his arm around Luna.

"Way to go into it Gin, I knew you had it in you." Luna said leaning into Ron.

"OH you two act like I've never been kissed before! Besides, so what if me and Harry actually have the right idea in mind." Ginny said nudging Luna slightly and settling close to Harry. He kissed her cheek and she smiled smugly at her brother. About 10 minutes later, Ginny was off to the ladies room. She just stood in the bathroom leaning against the wall. She was weak in the knees, she was in love. She washed her hands and headed back out to the table only to find Harry sitting alone. "Harry where did Ron and Luna go off to? Ginny asked sitting next to him.
