Ginny and Lavender had enjoyed themselves immensely while they were getting ready at Lavender's place. They were both very excited about the night ahead and giggled over outfits, boys, gossip and boys. Ginny had pushed Harry out of her mind, determined not to let him ruin a fun night out when she was certain thoughts of her weren't keeping him up at night. This was all a part of Operation: Forget Harry Potter And Move On. Thus far it had been a dismal failure, but tonight would be a turning point, Ginny had decided.
Arriving at the Three Broomsticks, Ginny headed to the bar to order a drink and chat with Madam Rosmerta, whom she hadn't seen since the last Hogsmeade weekend before the battle. She convinced Madam Rosmerta to let them join several of the tables together to make one large table so they could all sit together and talk when everyone arrived.
