A/N: ::waves:: Hi.... ::ducks tomato:: I know I'm sorry!! I really am!

Ginny sat at her table at the 716 Bistro waiting for Malfoy to show up. He was already 20 minutes late. She picked up her ice water and took a sip before looking back down at her wrist watch.
This is ridiculous. Why should I wait even one more minute for that.. that slime ball?! Ginny just get up and leave, just leave. Daniel will understand. Ginny sighed and reached down to the floor for her purse. Just as she was about to stand up to go she heard that ever so condesending drawl that could only be Malfoy.
"Leaving so soon Ginervea?" he asked.
"Well I did wait 20 minutes before I made the desicion too. Call my secretary to reschedual for a time when you'll be able to make it on time." She got up and walked passed him towards the door. Before she knew it he had grabbed her wrist and held it loosly in his hand.
"Please Ginervea, stay." He asked in a tone barely above a whisper. She turned around to look at him, her eyes piercing into his. She was startled to see what she saw there. Loneliness.
"Ok." She said before taking her seat.

Luna and Ron were sitting at a table not far from Ginny and Malfoy though neither knew it. They were already on there dessert when Ron suddely broke the comfortable silence.
"We got a call from Bobby and Beth's school today" He said, not quite meeting her eyes.
"Really? What about?" SHe asked as she continued with her chocolate cake.
"It was about Beth...." He said.
"What about her? Obviously nothing serious if your just telling me this now."
"Well they said that at the rate she's going right now they may hold her back a year..." he said concentrating on stain on the table cloth.
"What?!" Luna hissed, trying not to make a scene.
"Apparently she hasn't been doing well. Grade wise. They think she's not understanding the material but refuses to ask for help..."Ron trailed off.
"Bullocks. She's a bright young girl, I doubt very much that's the reason."
"Luna, I know she's smart, but she may truely be having problems. I refuse to believe it's because she's not doing work." He said finally daring to look at his wife. Seh was looking at her watch.
"Oh merlin, I'm going to be late for a meeting." She looked back up at him "We'll talk to her when I get home, alright love?"
"Ok. What time will you be home?"
"I'm not sure. Not late. I'll owl or floo when I know." She got up and went to his side of the table. She bent down and kissed him before she disapparated. "Good bye."
"Good bye love." He said to the air where his wife had just been standing.

Hermione walked with her arm linked through Harry's as they mad ethere way to their table at the Bistro. Hse was excited to be eating out with him. It wasn't often they got to eat out anymore. Probably since before the elections thought Hermione.
They got to their table and Harry pulled out her chair for her, making sure she was seated before taking his own seat. The waiter gave them thier meanus and took their drink order before leaving them on their own.
"So what's the special occasion sir?" Hermione asked.
"Hermione" Harry said in a warning tone.
"Ok ok, Harry."
"Thank you. And do I need an excuse to bring out the most beautiful smartest witch I know."
"Well when you put it that way...." She said in a teasing tone, Harry smiled at her.
"I just wanted to spend sometime out of the office. Plus we haven't done anything together in awhile. I miss it."
"I miss it too Harry. So how is it living on your own again?" She asked.
"I'm hardly living on my own. I went from living with you, the biggest neat freak ever, to living in a house full of servents. I don't think I've ever truely taken care of my self." Hermione laughed.
"I have to say I agree with you, and that it would expalin a lot." She said.
"Like what?" Hary asked acting stunned.
"Oh nothing..." She trailed off. And so the idle banter continued for fourty-five minutes. Both comfortable with it and noting how much they missed this easy relationship. Little by little during the lunch Hermione's hope raised that something was there between them. And then he brought it up.
"Hermione I actually wanted to ask you something." He looked over at her. She nodded showing she was listening. "You know the benifit coming up, on Valentines Day, I should bring a date and I was hoping.." He trailed off.
"That I could find one on such short notice?" She asked trying not to show her anger and frustration.
"Well sorta of. I have someone in mind actually.... You see I have known for a while that she is a stunning woman and would be perfect to bring to this type of thing. Not only si she stuning but she would keep half the men there on their toes. Problem is I don't think I could askher..."
Hermione's heart with each word he said. It was obvious who he meant. Mia. Not only was she beautiful, but she was witty too. She knew that Harry would fall for her...
"Mia." She whispered.
"What?" Harry asked startled. Why is she bringing up Mia now of all times?! Now when I'm...
"You want me to see if Mia will go for you. You have obviously lost your touch with the ladies Minister." She said trying to sound humerous and with more confidence then she felt.
"No, Hermione I mea-" He started.
"It's alright Harry. I've set you up with women before." Interupting him, she looked at her watch. "Wow I'm running late. I'm supposed to have a staff meeting at two." She stood up gathering her things. "Well I'll talk to her for you and let you know sir. See you in the office." and with that she dissapparated.
"I meant you." Harry said finishing his sentence before following suit and disapperating.
