By mid-morning it was already obvious that Sunday was going to be blue-skied and hot - and Dominic was tired of the city. He'd packed his bag with a bottle of water, his muggle wallet, mobile and two notebooks before he'd remembered offering to take Pandora out for a drive. A couple of owls later and they'd arranged to meet up at Finnigan's. Dominic checked his bag again, added a second bottle of water, then slung it over his shoulder and apparated into Monument Alley, just outside the pub. He ducked his head inside, just to check she wasn't waiting for him, then pulled his sunglasses out of the front pocket of his bag, along with a cigarette and lighter.

He was just reaching the end of his cigarette when he heard a faint 'pop' of apparition and looked up, spotting Pandora a few feet away. He straightened, stubbed the cigarette out against the wall and then gave her a way. "Excellent timing," he said, smiling. "You ready to go see Surrey?"

Dominic shrugged. "There's good people and bad in every organisation." He knew good people in the Ministry, and he was simultaneously sure there were people still there who would drive him to fury with their outlook. Even before getting to Hogwarts and learning about the divide between purebloods and muggleborns, Dominic had had opportunity to learn that.

"Good then," he said, giving her a quirk of a smile. "And I don't hate you for being pureblood, or for what you had to do during the war. I'd say we should shake on it, but my hands are a bit busy." Speaking of which, he turned onto a wider road he thought he recognised. If he was right, there was a nice pub at the end of it with a beer garden and a duck pond. It was more the kind of place he associated with Luna than Pandora, but the food was good enough that the deliberately 'quaint' atmosphere wasn't worth worrying about. "Muggles scare me sometimes," he agreed. "Some of them." He didn't say it, but his mind had gone back to the recent bombings.

Dominic nodded, letting the topic drop for now until she'd spoken to her sparring partner. "I'm glad you're enjoying it," he said. "And now - I think it's time to stop for lunch." He gestured to the pub sign that was just close enough to be legible now.
