It was a full week after they'd first attempted to have dinner, that Kingsley and Rita sat down at a table together. Each had rescheduled once, and there had been a disastrous attempt at drinks the previous Friday that Kingsley would prefer to never remember, but here they were. They'd made it through a pre-dinner pint, had ordered a meal, and actually eaten the meal without anything too terrible happening. There had been a couple of prolonged silences, as subjects better left unsaid were ignored, but no one was crying or swearing, and no curses had been flung.
They were currently lingering over coffee and dessert, chatting about this and that without touching anything of high importance. However, he wasn't going to jinx them by being too optimistic, not until they'd gone their separate ways and the morning edition of the Prophet had been published without any mention of him within the pages. Only then would he count the evening a win. If that happened, he'd maybe consider them friends again, inasmuch the two of them could ever be friends.
"I've been meaning to tell you that your article on the Rampaging Hippogriffs was some of your recent best." He was sincere; there had been some mention of the DMLE not taking a stalker seriously, but since that had turned out to be very true he couldn't be too angry about it. "I enjoyed reading it."
