Harry had spent most of the auction itself hiding from Rita Skeeter, and also Andromeda who kept trying to introduce him to her gardener, despite the fact he'd already met the poor man a dozen times and he couldn't be less interested in shagging Harry. Shagging Andromeda, on the other hand, was something the gardener would quite like. He'd finally been able to breathe when he found out Ernie had "won" him, though he didn't think Ernie was any more interested in cauldron bottoms than he was. They'd make the best of it though.

He was just about to find Ernie when he spotted Rita again, and made a quick escape into the garden just before she spotted him in return. The last thing he wanted was to be questioned about his 'relationship' with the 'lucky winner' and have it explode into a full-blown gossip-column romance. So maybe he was still bitter about his supposed affair with Kingsley, even though it had been years ago. Rita never changed.

The quiet, It's too hot in there caught his attention, and he found himself agreeing without much thought. "Much nicer out here."

Zacharias tensed slightly and turned toward the noise, having really not expected to talk to anyone or to have anyone talk to him just then, even if it was just to agree about it being nicer outside than inside just then. Sure, he'd anticipated the smokers, but not, well, not to even be vaguely acknowledged. And he certainly hadn't expected it to come from Harry Potter. They may not have really interacted much since Hogwarts, but that didn't mean Zacharias had forgotten who he was (who in the wizarding world hadn't?) or their interactions. An awkwardness settled inside of him, but he kept it off his face and out of his posture.

"Yeah, it is," he said, taking a sip of his butterbeer. "I saw Rita Skeeter hanging around, so you probably want to be alone," he added, taking a couple of steps toward the door. Really, he should find out if his parents were around. And he should find Ben to see if he were happy with the date they'd won and to arrange when to hang out. "But congratulations on the date," he added. Ernie was a good man and a good person. He was sure the two of them would have fun. Or, well, he hoped, at least for Ernie's sake.

Harry rolled his eyes and shuddered at the mention of Rita Skeeter. "She's a parasite, and I'm definitely avoiding her," he agreed. "But you don't have to leave. I'm pretty sure the garden is big enough for both of us, Smith." He sighed, and leaned back against the low wall. He and Smith had never gotten along at Hogwarts, but it had been a long time since then. He didn't think they'd shared more than five words in passing in the last seven years.

"Thanks. I can't say I'm enthused about cauldron bottoms, but it'll be fun spending the day with Ernie. We'll make our own fun." He didn't remember who Zacharias had ended up with, but he remembered the date. "Your date venue should be a lot more fun. Racing brooms, right?" Harry would be the first to admit to being incredibly jealous about that, but it wouldn't be right to ask to switch without checking with Ernie first. No matter how much he'd want to.

To be honest, he wasn't sure if he wanted to stay in the garden. They weren't friends, and Harry was never someone Zacharias particularly wanted to get to know. He wouldn't have been against it as he didn't hate him. He just never had that overwhelming need to get to know him. He was sure he was a good person, or at least not a total prat all the time, and that was enough for him.

"You might be able to find someone to switch with," he said, silently adding, but not me. "But, uh, yeah, I think it'll be fun. Passes to the Museum of Magical History could be fun, but only under the right circumstances." Like when trying to ensure you wouldn't get a second date with someone who hates history. Zacharias didn't mind history, but he was glad it wasn't the date he'd won with Ben. If he went to a museum, he preferred going alone. At least that way he could browse at his own pace and didn't have to worry about whoever he was with finding his interests boring.

"If you can't find someone to trade with, you could probably blow it off and do something else," he said with a shrug.

"Switching might be an option, but it doesn't seem sporting to blow it off altogether," Harry said, dubiously. Someone, even if it had been Percy, had put effort into coming up with the date, and Harry's sense of fair play made the idea of blowing it off distasteful or at the very least a little bit mean.

That in mind, he tried to think of a few positive things about a day at the museum. Looking on the bright side wasn't a particularly strong skill of his, but it shouldn't be impossible. "Plus there's the exhibit on wandlore which should be somewhat interesting, and the beard exhibit might be good for a laugh." Maybe it wouldn't be all bad, and the company would be nice. Suddenly determined to make the best of the situation, a day at the museum didn't seem so bad.

Zacharias nodded, taking another sip of his drink, finishing it. He kept his thoughts to himself, but they mostly involved thinking about how it wasn't fair to provide a very niche date idea that only certain people would like, either. He just knew better than to voice his opinion on such things. "Wandlore could be interesting," he agreed. Beards, though? No. But wandlore... "Can't hurt to know more about a tool lots of people can take for granted." Or so he thought. After all, wands were rather important instruments wizards and witches used, but how often were they really thought about and well cared for? Or even given thought on their origins? He didn't have any interest in making wands, but he did find their history interesting.

With a little shrug, he said, "Hope you have a good time, whatever you end up doing." And he meant it, even if he wasn't a big fan of Harry's, even if he mostly meant it because he liked Ernie enough to not want things to be terrible for him. "Anyway, I'm going to get another drink," he raised the empty bottle to indicate what he meant. "Have a good night. And good luck avoiding Skeeter," he said, turning and heading back inside, thinking about getting his drink to go.
