Dinner conversation revolves around the pieces that are coming together in their lives

Song: Walking the Wire by Imagine Dragons

Ginny: When are we leaving?

Harry: Whenever you are ready

Ginny: I'm tired

Harry: Are you okay?

Ginny: Just a long day and tomorrow is long too

Harry: I'll talk to the guys about leaving early

Ginny: Love you

Harry: Love you more

"Check." Harry looked up as Neville took his knight and cornered his king. "What's going on, Harry? You seem really distracted?"

"Just got a text from Ginny." Harry reached out to move his rook. ""She's tired and so am I. Would you be okay with calling it a night early tonight?"

"I'm fine with that." Neville used his bishop to take Harry's rook. "Checkmate. Luna and I have lots to do in the morning and I probably need to turn in early as well."

"I still want to get food before we head home." Harry looked across the room to find Ginny. "How does Flying Pies sound?"

"Sounds good to me," Neville said distractedly as he started to pack up his chess set. "I can eat cold pizza for breakfast tomorrow."

Neville: Pizza for dinner?

Ron: When?

Neville: Soon. I have an early morning tomorrow

Theo: Flying Pies?

Harry: Ginny likes them and they are quick

Ron: She looks as tired as you

Harry: Want to head out early?

Theo: I'm good with that

Ron: I'll tell Mione

Harry: Meet there in 20 minutes?

Neville: Sounds like a plan

"What are the boys up to?" Daphne asked as she watch them furiously typing on their mobiles. "It looks like they are planning something and they cannot always be trusted."

"I don't know about you all, but I am ready to go home." Ginny yawned as she started to shut down her computer. "I have prep work to do in the morning and I could not fall back to sleep after Harry got called in this morning."

"Maybe they are planning dinner and an early exit," Luns suggested as she picked up her mobile from the table. "I know I need to head home soon. I have to be at the greenhouse super early. Neville and I still have a ton of stuff to do before the opening."

Theo: Hey brown eyes

Daphne: Hey chess man

Theo: Want to head out early?

Daphne: Sure. Where are we going to eat?

Theo: Pizza?

Daphne: Sounds good. Want me to tell the girls?

Theo: Please … Meet me at the chess tables when you are ready

Theo looked up from his mobile. "Daphne is going to let the girls know about dinner."

"Good." Harry said as he gathered his things that had scattered on the table. "I'll call ahead and let them know we're coming."

The guys continued to plan dinner as they packed up their chess sets and waited for the girls. "So, Nev," Theo asked. "You ready for tomorrow?"

"I guess." Neville shrugged and continued to put pieces in his chess bag. "I still have some plants to move in the morning and Luna says there are a few details to finish. I don't know which of us is more nervous."

"Me," Luna answered as she came up behind Neville. "Can I grab a ride to Flying Pies with you, Neville? We can drop back here and pick up my car after."

"Sure, Luna." Neville zipped his bag and set it on his shoulder. "See you lads in twenty? First one there gets the table?"

"They said they would have our table ready at the back," Harry called over his shoulder as he took Ginny's bag from her. "See everyone there?"

"Sure." Theo looked to the back of the room. "Looks like Daphne and Hermione are headed this way."

"See you there." Ron watched as the other couples headed for the door. "Go ahead and ask, Mione. I can hear you thinking right now."

"I'll ask in the car." Hermione put her hand on Ron's shoulder as she walked up to him from behind. "This is not a conversation for the coffee shop."

Harry: Where are Ron & Mione?

Theo: How should I know?

Luna: They were still at BB when we left

Daphne: I think she was still packing up when I left

Neville: I'm sure they will be here soon

Ginny: They may be talking

Harry: What would they have to talk about?

Daphne: Anything, everything, who knows

Theo: They have been getting closer

Ginny: I'm sure we will find out when they get here

Hary: WHat do you girls talk about when we play chess?

Daphne: If we told you …

Luna: …we'd have to kill you :)

Ron opened the passenger side door of his car. "Ride with me? We can deal with your car tomorrow."

Hermione walked around him and placed her bag in his back seat. "Were you serious about your question this morning?"

Ron waited for her to get settled in her seat and closed her door. He took his time walking around his car and getting into his seat. Turning to face her, he took a deep breath.

"Mione, I have loved you since we were in secondary school. I am very serious about the question I asked you this morning. I cannot imagine my flat without you in it."

Hermione stared across the car at his serious blue eyes. "Are you sure? Seriously? Can we really do this?"

Ron reached up to run a finger down her nose. "You can even bring Crookshanks Two with you. I want to wake up with you every morning and fall asleep with you every night."

"I think I want this, too." Hermione kissed Ron's finger as it ran over her lips. "The lease on my flat is up in a month. Can we figure it all out by then?"

Ron reached into the pocket of his jacket and pulled out a folded sheet of paper. "I have already started your list. We can work on it more tomorrow."

Hermione leaned across the car and kissed the tip of Ron's nose. "Are you sure you can handle my lists?"

Ginny: Mione, where are you?

Hermione: On my way

Ginny: You okay?

Hermione: I'm good.

Ginny: I need more information

Hermione: Just because you need it does not mean you will get it

Ginny: Just you wait

Neville looked up from his menu as the bell rang on the front door. "Ron and Mione are here," he mumbled as he went back to deciding on what he was going to order.

"Nice of you to join us," Harry quipped as they approached the table. "We were waiting on you so we could order."

Ginny looked at their interlaced fingers and smiled. "It took you awhile to get here. Everything okay?"

"Everything is just fine, oh mighty nosey one," Ron answered for Hermione as he pulled out her chair. "And that is all I am going to tell you."

Before Ginny could reply to her brother, their waitress arrived to take their orders. Five pizza orders later, Ron looked across the table to his sister. "YOu never get tired this easy. When you going to the doctor?" he whispered.

Ginny looked across the table at her brother like he had grown another head. "I'm not. I'm fine."

"You are tired and you look it," Ron whispered again. "Do me a favor and make an appointment."

"I'm fine, Ron," Ginny hissed back at him. "Keep bugging me about it and I will loudly ask you for Hermione's answer to your question from this morning."

"Just do it, Gin." Ron dropped his gaze from her eyes to the table. "Please."

Hermione: What was up between you and Ron?

Ginny: He wants me to see a doctor. Says he's worried

Hermione: Why?

Ginny: Says I look too tired, whatever that means.

Hermione: He is usually right about these things

Ginny: If I am still tired on Monday, I'll call

Hermione: BTW … can Harry help with something next month?

Ginny: I have no idea? What's up?

Hermione: My lease

Ginny tried not to squirm in her seat as she read Hermione's last message. Harry looked over at her and raised one eyebrow. Ginny just grinned and slipped her mobile into her pocket. "I'll tell you later," she whispered as she kissed his cheek. "Pizza's here!"

Conversations flowed around the table as the pizza disappeared. Theo and Daphne blushed when Ron asked how she like her ride to Chess Club and Harry almost covered Ron is water when Theo asked if he had enjoyed his nap.

"Hate to break up the fun," Neville sighed as he pushed back from the table. "But Luna and I have to be at the greenhouse at dawn. I might need to get her home and then get myself home"

"I think Nev is right," Theo chimed in. "Tomorrow is going to be a long day for all of us. Time to get the checks and head home."

Boxes of leftover pizza were distributed as they headed for their cars. Ron opened the door for Hermione as she approached. "Your flat or mine?" he whispered in her ear as she settled into her seat.

"Ours."

Neville: Home

Theo: Just dropped of Daphne

Harry: Home

Daphne: Inside … Night all

Ginny: Night!

Luna: Home…night!

Harry: Ron?

Ginny: Mione?

Hermione: Home…forgot to check my mobile

Ron: Home..mobile died on the way

Harry: 30 minutes after everybody else?

Neville: Really?

Ron: Really
