JR nodded and Ginny rose from her seat. It was then that he saw what she was wearing. It practically made his mouth water. She was wearing a dark blue dress that had a plunging neckline and a very low cut back. It stopped just above her arse. The bottom was cut asymmetrically and was cut mid thigh to her knee. She was breathtaking.

She turned her head and winked at him before walking out the door.

Outside, they hailed a taxi and got in.

"Umm, just take us to the nearest cinema." JR told the driver once they were seated.

The man grunted and hit the gas.

JR and Ginny sat in a relatively comfortable silence before the driver suddenly started spewing forth profanities.

"What's happened?" Ginny shyly asked a little frightened by the big burly Irish-man in the driver's seat.

"The bleeding street is blocked that's what's the matter missy! It's gonna take about a half hour longer than it should've to get to the cinema." He answered gruffly.

"What do you want to do, Gin? We could skip the movies and go straight to dinner."

"How about we get out here. I don't walk around London very often and this seems like a nice street."

JR looked around and couldn't help but agree. The street looked like something from a Romance flick. It had cobblestone pavements and old-fashioned lampposts lining the streets. He could also see a number of shops and cafés as well. It was very picturesque.

"That sounds like a great idea. Let's go."

"That will be 20 pounds." The driver said.

JR thrust the money into his hands and stepped out after Ginny onto the street. He took her hand and began to stroll down the pavement.

"So, JR, have you lived in England all your life?" Ginny asked with a little bit of accusation in her tone.

JR furrowed his brow in confusion. "Yes," He said slowly. "Why do you ask?"

"Did you go to Hogwarts?" She said in the same tone.

/Oh shit. I never thought of a background story for myself in the Wizarding World. What should I say? What should I say! C'mon JR, think! You're a writer. You have imagination. Think! Oh I got it/

"I was home-schooled." JR said smoothly.

"Oh that explains it then." Ginny said.

"Explains what?"

"Well, I'm sorry JR but you just appeared out of no where in the Wizarding World so I did a little background check and couldn't find any information on you and any Wizarding School in the country. So I thought you might be lying about who you are. "

JR inwardly cringed. "Oh, I see." JR said a little coldly.

Ginny looked genuinely sorry and upset. "I really am sorry JR. It's just that my last few boyfriends have been real jerks and you just seem to be too good to be true. So I was a little hesitant to become too close to you before I did a little background check."

"It's okay, Ginny. I understand. The last few girlfriends I've had only wanted me for my fame. So I completely understand. So what did you find out about me in this background check you did." JR said slyly.

"Well I found out how you did in each year of your schooling. I also found stuff about your last few break-ups. I'm really sorry about your last one. It sounded pretty bad."

JR knew exactly which one she was talking about. It was his longest relationship to date. It lasted 2 whole years. It even made it through an engagement and to the alter at the wedding where he was cruelly dumped for his publisher.

"Yeah. It took me a while to get over but it was over a year ago and I can finally say that I am fully over it. I haven't had a relationship since then, though. Until now."

JR put his arm around Ginny's shoulders and pulled her closer. Ginny looked up at the street sign and gasped.

JR jumped, startled by her gasp. "What's wrong! Are you okay?"

Ginny giggled at his reaction. "Yes." She laughed. "It's just that I noticed we're right outside the Leaky Cauldron again. Want to just go in there to eat?"

"Sure why not." JR agreed.

They walked back into the pub together and claimed "their" table. They ordered food and drinks and spent hours just talking, eating, and drinking alcohol. Soon they were kissing and JR began to drunkenly lead Ginny up to his room.

A/N: Yeah I know, It's short and unsatisfying. I'm a procrastinator and have no motivation expect for when my muse threatens to kick me (which got this chapter out sheepish looks The next chapter should be out soon. I have the general outline for it done. YAY! School starts in less than a month! No! I'm going to be a Senior! High School goes by so quickly :(
