Harry looked across the table at Luna who was offering him a piece of chocolate cake. Looking past her he saw Hermione nodding happily. He sighed as he thanked Luna and took the small plate. She seemed happy by that action.
The two girls had dragged him to the room, turning it into the dining room of Caprioni's Italian Bistro in London. Hermione said it was one of her favorite places to go with her parents and hoped to bring him along when they got back.
"I still don't quite understand what the point of this is?" he sighed as he enjoyed the cake.
Luna smiled at him dreamily, "Hermione and I have agreed that practicing social skills in a non-threatening environment would be quite beneficial to our continued development as a trio."
Harry stopped with the fork halfway to his mouth. Slowly setting it on the plate he looked from the blonde, who for whatever reason had dyed her hair light pink, to Hermione who was looking anxiously at him. "As a trio?"
"Well Ron is involved with Lavender and when he gets her pregnant honor will demand he marry her. Ginny has admitted she does not have the emotional and rational stability to be involved with anyone due to her traumatic experiences. This means that youwill need someone to replace either of them in your friends group. Plus Hermione said I had a cute butt."
Harry crossed his hands in front of him staring at Luna. The silvery blue dress she was wearing clung to her slight, yet curvy, figure as Hermione looked like she was about to apparate out of the room.
"Hermione could you join us please?"
"Uh yeah sure." Hermione said crossing the room.
"So do you like my butt Harry or are you more impressed with my decolletage. I personally do not think either of them are my best physical feature but then I am very self-critical." Luna continued like nothing was odd about this discussion at all.
"You have a very pretty face." Harry said as Hermione joined them.
"Hermione what's going on?"
"Well I was thinking you deserved a girlfriend. A girlfriend who was nice and that you could trust and was cute and willing to share." She smiled, "And that Luna needed to have some friends who cared about her and wanted to protect her from being bullied and that maybe as much as you brood it would take two people to distract you from all of that."
"So when Hermione asked me to be your girlfriend, along with her, I thought that would be a rather nice thing. She has a cute bottom too. Perhaps we could let you compare them after dinner?"
Harry was glad he had put the fork down as he would have choked when she said that. It took him a moment to compose words though, "Are you saying that the both of you want to be my girlfriend?"
The two girls looked at each other. Luna with a perplexed expression while Hermione looked resigned. They both turned back to Harry with a smile, "Yes that is what we are saying."
"You do realize how dangerous that would be?"
Luna tilted her head with a sardonic expression, "And this would be different than our normal existence how?"
Hermione nodded, "She has a point. Plus there are a lot of benefits to having both of us with you. Unless there is something between you and Ron you've not shared."
Harry looked crossly at Hermione, "Pass the garlic bread and prepared to be intensely compared after dinner."
