More Reunions!
Who: Lucy and Ernie
What: A reunion!
Where: Finnigan's
When: After duelling club
Rating: SFW

After meeting Susan and Hannah, Lucy had finally searched through her old Hogwarts trunk until she'd found her wand. It was now sitting on top of a box file on her desk at home, where she saw it every time she sat down to work. A dozen times she'd reached for it, wondering if it would still work but almost afraid to try. Tuesday night she'd declined Jenny's suggestion that they all go to the pub quiz because she'd wanted to assess the state of her various bank accounts. One current account, one ISA, one savings account...

After staring at the computer screen for half an hour or so, trying and failing to find a spare £200 to send to Alison to help her cover the month's rent, Lucy finally looked away - her eyes falling to her wand. Hesitantly, she picked it up, turning it over in her hands. She hadn't forgotten the spells she'd learned but somehow the act of actually trying to cast one had her heart pounding. After a moment, she slipped the wand into her handbag with her keys and five minutes later was out the door on her way to Tufnell Park tube station.

When she reached The Leaky Cauldron, the archway was already open with two groups passing each other, one in and one out. Lucy tagged onto the group heading in and breathed a sigh of relief. If her wand didn't work, she wasn't sure she really wanted to know that just yet. What she wanted was to see her friends again. So, she headed to Finnigan's, set her shoulders as she walked in and stepped up to the bar to order her drink. Glancing around, she couldn't see Hannah or Susan, but perhaps someone else she knew would be here, or would be along soon. She could wait.

Lucy snorted with laughter. "Chicago is... very different from The Sound of Music." Very different. She couldn't wait to introduce Ernie to it. "But really good. So you have to come round. We'll do Chicago and I'll make you dinner." Lucy looked down at her glass. "It's either time for another or time for me to get home, I think," she mused. "What about you?"

	At Lucy's question, Ernie looked at his empty bottle of butterbeer. "I suppose I can let you go, now that I've a promise to see you again. I have to work in the morning anyway. But as I said, I get to see you again, no disappearing into the Muggle world, all right?" He offered her a hug as he rose up from his seat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucy flushed slightly. No disappearing into the Muggle world. Right. In a way, it was nice to know her friends were so keen to keep her around but it also felt strange... She shook her head, trying to get past it. She wrapped her arms around Ernie and kissed his cheek before she took her leave. "I promise. You must see Chicago." (Reply to this) (Parent)
