"Hermione!" Luna said suddenly.

"What?" Hermione asked, so surprised she almost dropped her coffee.

"It's 4:45." Luna smiled sneakily.

"Oh!" Hermione gasped, and she and Luna peered over their chairs.

"Three...two...one." They said in unison, then sighed as an attractive man walked into the Leaky Caldroun.

"What's all that about?" Ginny said as she sat down.

"Everyday, at 4:45, 'cute coffee guy' comes in and buys a cup." Harry explained.

"Which one is he?" Ginny asked, and Harry pointed.

"He's not that good looking!" Ron said defensively.

"Compared to you two, he is." Luna said, "Except for you, George." She said with a wink as George sat down.

"What we talking about?" George said.

"'Cute coffee guy'. Hot or not?" Harry said simply, pointing.

"Now I am no woman but that is one tasty dish." George said admirably, and the girls laughed.

"Now, Luna, why are you so interested in this guy?" Ginny asked. "Don't you have a boyfriend?"

"I know, but he's so much fun to look at, you know?" Luna said. "Like a wackspurt, but better looking. Hermione wants to ask him out."

"I do not!" She gasped. "Although I wouldn't mind if he asked me out."

"You don't even know him." Ron snapped.

"But I could get to know him over dinner." Hermione pointed out.

"Speaking of dinner, Ron, cancel all plans for tonight." George said excitedly.

"Why?"

"I've got us a date with twins!" He said excitedly.

"Twins?" Ron repeated in disbelief.

"Yep, hot, identical twins." George confirmed. "Their names are Parvati and Padma Patil-"

Harry and Ron groaned.

"What?"

"I can't go." Ron said confidently.

"What? C'mon, Ron." George pleaded.

"No! I went to the Yule ball with Padma, and it didn't go well." He said.

"That was years ago!"

"So what? It's still going to be awkward."

"Please, Ron," George begged, and said softly, "I've never been on a date with twins before, it was something me and Fred always wanted to do, but then he died, and now, oh, it's just times like these I really miss him."

"Alright, alright!" Ron groaned. "But I get Parvati! Things with Padma are just too weird."

"Yeah, about that...no." George said stubbornly. "I set the date with Parvati, and you up with Padma."

"He's coming, he's coming!" Luna whispered excitedly, and she and Hermione waved 'cute coffee guy'. He nodded back, and Luna and Hermione went into a fit of giggles.

"Hermione, look!" Luna gasped. "He forgot his traveling cloak!"

"What should I do?"

"Fetch it!"

Hermione ran over and grabbed the cloak, then ran outside. She came in shortly after that. "He's gone!" She said sadly.

"Oh, what a pity." Ron said sarcastically.

"Hey," Said Harry when he entered Hermione and Ginny's.

"Hey," Ginny responded brightly.

"Whoa. Where is everybody? It's so...quiet." Harry said, shocked.

"Ron and George are on their date and Hermione and Luna are figuring out what to do with the traveling cloak of 'cute coffee guy'." Ginny explained.

"So it's just me and you for tonight?" Harry confirmed.

"As it seems." Ginny nodded.

"So, what do you wanna do?" He said awkwardly.

"I was thinking we could make dinner. Something nice, because we don't have six mouths to feed." Ginny suggested.

"That sounds great." Harry smiled.

"We can't just stare at it forever." Hermione said promptly. "We have to do something with it."

"But it smells so good!" Luna whined. "And he wore it!"

"Are you sure you checked everywhere in the pocket?" Hermione questioned.

"Yes." Luna moaned. "There is nothing that says his name in here."

"But," Hermione said, rummaging through the pockets. "There are receipts!"

"And how would that help us?" Luna asked.

"We can go to the stores he went to so we can find information about him, and maybe find out his name!" Hermione explained.

"Brilliant!"

"Oh, here's one for Florence Florscreen's Ice Cream palor. Let's go!" Hermione said, grabbing Luna's hand.

"They're late." Ron grumbled.

"It's been two minutes." George reminded him.

"Face it, they stood us up." Ron said.

"Oi, shut it, Ron. There they are." George snapped, and gave a wave to the Patil twins, who smiled before coming over.

"Hello, ladies." George said.

"Hello." The responded in unison, and George nudged Ron in excitement. Ron didn't see why George was so happy with twins, when he was one himself.

"George, this is my sister Padma, I don't know if you've met...?" Parvati introduced, and George kissed her hand.

"It's a pleasure. And Padma, I don't know if you've met my brother, Ron...?"

Padma's eyes wandered over to Ron, who grinned sheepishly. "Oh, yes, I have. He was my date to the Yule Ball." She said, with no clear emotions.

"Well, now you have something to talk about! Let's sit down, shall we?" George said brightly.

"We could make a cake," Harry suggested, flipping through Hermione's recipe books.

"We have to think of a main course first." Ginny reminded him.

"How about Shepard's pie? It's one of my favorites." Harry suggested.

"Is there a recipe for it?" Ginny asked.

"Let me see...found it!" He said triumphantly, and Ginny scanned the page.

"That seems doable. I guess well have to get working, shall we."

"And maybe some treacle tart for dessert?" Harry added hopefully.

"We'll see." Ginny smiled.

"Hi." Hermione said breathlessly to the young girl at the counter of the ice cream parlor, who snapped her gum in response. "Um, my friend and I were wondering if you sold a small raspberry flavored ice cream with hot fudge to a handsome man wearing this cloak."

The girl snapped her gum again. "Are you going to buy anything?"

"Well, no, but-"

"Get out!" She commanded, and Hermione and Luna didn't need telling twice, but Luna turned around and said,"Actually, can I have an orange sherbet cone?"

"But, c'mon, you're trying to tell me you've only switched places once?" George said in disbelief. "Me and Fred did it all the time!"

"It's harder because we were in different houses, I suppose." Parvati said.

"But you could've seen what the other house was like!" George exclaimed.

"I guess we don't have as creative minds as you and Fred." Padma said.

"What about you, Ron?" George piped up. "Ever switched, er, nevermind. It's a twin thing, I guess."

"Yeah," Said Ron through gritted teeth. "I guess."

"I can't wait much longer!" Harry whined.

"It's only been baking for ten minutes!" Ginny reminded him.

"But it smells so good!" Harry said.

"C'mon, let's get started on the trecale tart." She commanded, and Harry followed her to the kitchen area.

"Now, how exactly to you make this?" Harry asked.

"I'm not exactly sure." Ginny confessed.

"Hello!" Hermione said brightly to the man the cash register at Quality Quidditch Supplies. "Have you seen an attractive young man, wearing this cloak, that bought a broom polishing kit two days ago?"

The man stared at her in disbelief, before saying, "Are you going to buy anything?"

"Well, no, but.."

"Then go!" He commanded, and Hermione and Luna started to walk out, before Luna screamed, "A Firebolt!"

"Could you be any more of a drag?" George asked Ron once they were in the bathroom.

"I'm sorry!" Ron said, "But I'm not feeling it!"

"Well, lighten up at least, okay? Oh, and switch with me."

"What?"

"Switch girls with me. I want Padma." George said confidently.

"Oh, now you want Padma? Of course!" Ron yelled. "And, in case you haven't noticed, George, I'm not Fred! We can't just switch and think they won't notice."

"But we can pretend that we think Parvati is Padma and Padma is Parvati. Get it?" George said.

"Oh, fine. But you owe me." Ron snapped.

"I've gotta say, I've never had anything more amazing." Harry said as he ate the sheperd's pie. "I can only dream of what the trecale tart is gonna taste like."

"I know." Ginny moaned in delight. "And, I must say, it's a nice change when you don't have to share with four other people."

"So, how do you like it here, living with Hermione?" Harry asked conversationally.

"I absolutely love it. I can't believe all the years I missed out, hanging with everybody. I've espically missed spending time with you, Harry." She said.

"You know, sharing this dinner together, some people might call it a date." Harry said slowly.

"Oh, no, no, it's not a date." Ginny said quickly.

"We could make it one." Harry suggested, and Ginny smiled widely.

"You don't know how long I've waited to here you say that." Ginny said with a twisted smile. "But, no, Harry, we can't. I just moved in here, and I've just started to learn my way around. I'm just beginning to renew lasting friendships with everyone, and really make myself part of the group. Also, I just started playing for the HolyHead Harpies, and I have to stay focused on that. This wouldn't be the first time we didn't work out for noble reasons, or because we had too much on our plate. This would be, our third, correct? But the first time I broke it off."

"But, maybe in the future, you'd be interested in going on a real date?" Harry said hopefully.

"I'd like that." Ginny smiled.

"Hello," Hermione said drowisly to the woman at the front desk of Cassie's Cleaners. "Please, please don't send me away, but I have a recepit saying this cloak went in for cleaning. Do you have any idea who the cloak belonged to?"

"Why, of course. How could I forget a man like that!" She responded, and Hermione and Luna almost jumped for joy.

"Could you give us the name?" Hermione asked.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, ma'me." She said.

"Would you do it for a couple of...gurdyroots?" Luna asked, holding a pair.

"What are those?" She said, crinkling her nose.

"You'll never know unless you tell us." Luna said sneakily.

"Oh, alright." The lady said. "It's Liam McHenry."

Hermione and Luna squealed before handing her the gurdyroots and running out the door.

Ron and George walked back to their table, but made sure to switch places.

"Oh, no." The Patil twins said suddenly. "You have the wrong spots."

"Have we now?" George said. "Well, no point in getting up now!"

"Yes it is! Yes it is!" Parvati said forcefully.

"Whoa, it's not a big deal!" Ron said, taken aback.

"If you switch spots, it won't be." Padma said.

Ron and George exchanged glances, before George said, "Look, Ron and I switched places to I could spend time with Padma."

"And Parvati and I switched places to I could spend time with you." Padma confessed.

"Really?" George said happily. "Listen, this is stupid. How's about Padma, Parvati and I go and get some ice cream, and Ron can go home. He's not much fun anyway."

"Sounds good." The girls said, each taking an arm.

"See you, bro." George smirked, but Ron didn't care. That was until the check came.

Hermione and Luna sent Liam a letter, asking for his address in hopes they could return his traveling cloak. He responded quickly, and Hermione and Luna, eager to finally talk to him, apperated to his house.

"Hello." He said when he answered the door.

"Hi." Hermione and Luna giggled.

"You have my cloak! Thank you! Would you like to come in?" Liam asked, and the girls nodded freverently. "So, I have to ask, how did you find me?" He said when he sat down.

Hermione and Luna went told the story how they found the cloak and retraced his steps through receipts. "You went to all that trouble to return my cloak?"

"Well, we, I, um, really wanted a reason to talk to you." Hermione said nervously with a small smile, and he returned it.

"How's about you and I get a cup of coffee? And this time, you can talk to me." Liam suggested.

"I'd love to." Hermione smiled.

"You coming?" He asked Luna.

"Oh, no, I, um, have to tend to my beet farm." Luna said, and apperated. Liam and Hermione shrugged before grasping hands.
