Ginny

Ginny was strolling through the garden with Teddy when she heard a whooshing sound above her head. She looked up to see a dark brown owl flying toward her. She set Teddy in the grass and held her arm out for the owl to land on. Upon a closer look Ginny recognized the owl as Harry's, Chocolate, that he got after Hedwig tragically died. The owl cooed at her and held out his leg to reveal a piece of parchment tied to his leg. She untied it and patted Chocolate in thanks. He flew to perch on the fence surrounding the Burrow. The letter read,

Ginny,

I was wondering if you would like to join me for dinner tonight at my flat. Say around 7:30? Send your response back with Chocolate. I will hopefully see you tonight.

Best,

H. Potter

Her heart leapt in her chest at the thought of being alone with Harry for the night. She scooped Teddy back up and raced in the house, only stopping to tell the owl to wait for her to come back. Ginny set the child in front of his piles of toys as she raced to find a quill and parchment. Her search was successful and she scribbled a response. It said,

Harry,

I would love to have dinner with you tonight! I will see you at 7:30.

Ginny

She raced back outside to give the letter to Chocolate. Before taking off Ginny fed him an owl treat and then headed back inside.

In the meantime, her mother had returned from her visit to Bill and Fleur's and was on the couch snuggling with Teddy. They both looked up when Ginny entered the room with flushed cheeks.

"Hi mum. I won't be home for dinner tonight. Harry invited me to his flat for dinner.", she said in a rush before losing the nerve to tell her mother.

"Oh that sounds lovely dear! I hope you have a wonderful time.", Molly replied. She had secretly been hoping for this for quite awhile now if she was being honest. Ginny looked at the clock and saw it was almost seven o'clock and rushed upstairs to get ready.

She stood in front of her closest for what seemed like ages but was really only a few minutes, trying to find something to wear. She settled for jeans and a soft cream colored sweater. Then she paired the outfit with long brown boots and pulled her hair off her neck into a messy bun. Racing into the bathroom, she swiped on some mascara and finished with a light coat of lipstick. She looked at the clock, 7:20. Ginny figured she could stop by the sweet shop down the street from Harry's flat to pick up dessert.

She apparated to Pretty Pastries and gazed at the selection. Recalling Harry's fondness of chocolate, she decided to settle for a small chocolate cake smeared in fudge frosting and topped with fresh strawberries. She then walked to Harry's flat, with a racing heart.
