What:

- The 'ministry' is footing the bill for everyone
- They got there around 6:30, looked around for a bit and decided on this restaurant since it could sit all of them.
- They are split in 2 tables (you guys decide who was sitting with you, just average it out 11 and 14, because you don't sit 13 at a table).
- They finished around 8:30.
- They walked around for a bit in small groups and then went back to the Leaky. From there, they Disapparated to Hogwarts.

"Since you know way more about football than I do, I'll take your word for it," she said, only following half of the teams. Even when she'd been in a pub and football had been on, she'd watched the people more than the game and rarely took notice of what teams were playing. "Are you sure about that? You don't sound sure."

She considered that. "Maybe that was done intentionally, for some reason." She couldn't think of one, but maybe he could. "Finding something is always better than finding nothing, even if it doesn't make sense." She had full faith in Jamie though. He'd make sense of it. Eventually.

"I know we will. Never had any doubts."

"I'm sure," he said, chuckling. "Even if I wanted to, I'm pretty sure that Draco would follow, and of course Ron and Hermione, and then I'd have to tell Mum and Dad, who'd probably share with the Marauders and so on and so forth. By the time we're done, everyone would know, so it's useless."

Harry shrugged. "Probably. It's what Jamie thinks. I think that it's your Aunt Hermione assuming that people are a lot smarter than they are. She thinks it's easy, while everyone else thinks it's close to impossible, but lucky for us, it is us looking for clues, so when we have all of them, I'm sure we'll know." He knew what she said might sound stupid to some, but he agreed wholeheartedly. "Exactly and we'll find more."

He grinned. "Good to know that you have faith in us. Now we have at least two more, but I have a feeling that there are more. That can't be the only one in Diagon Alley."

"You make them sound like little ducklings!" She smothered a giggle, rather unsuccessfully, but it was rather appropriate. Harry was the mama duck, and where the mama duck went, so did Ron and Hermione. "But yeah, it does sound like sneaking off to avoid people is rather defeated when you tell the people you're going to avoid that you're sneaking off."

She considered that. "Both sound like equally plausible explanations." Aunt Hermione always did think that everyone around her should keep up with her brain. Not a bad thing, but could lead to some complicated situations like this one. "It'll probably be the most obvious thing when they're all together. Oh! Maybe there's an order to them and you just found like clue number twenty instead of clue number one." That would make sense, but hopefully she'd overestimated the number of clues there were.

"Of course I do. You don't know how to admit defeat, and you're definitely not going to let the one to defeat you be you."

Harry looked at his friends who were busy talking to each other with a smile on his face. "Hardly. They are the best friends I could have asked for. There's absolutely no one like them. They've put their lives on the line since we were eleven and they will always be in my corner, just like I'd be there for them. I'd never try to sneak off from them." He looked at Lily. "Do you have someone like that? OR did you?"

He snorted. "There won't be twenty plus clues, because as brilliant as she is, even Hermione loses her patience like every good Gryffindor, and Ron and I would have lost our patience long before she did." Especially if everyone around them was dying. That thought sobered him up. "No, it'll be less than that, but I agree that we'll need to get a few to make sense of it."

Her logic made sense. "Defeat doesn't lead to anything good, does it? We fight to make things better, so I guess you're right: we keep going until we find all the clues." He imagined that everyone in his position would do the same. "What about you? Are you happy with your choice to work with Remus?"

"Hey, ducklings are adorable. That wasn't an insult! I know how much they mean to you." She and her siblings all did; they'd always known just who came first for Harry, but that was a subject for another time entirely. Tonight was for only happy things. "Jamie and Al are those people for me. I had friends, a lot of really good ones, but no one is more important than my brothers."

She snickered again. "All right, fair enough. It's a good thing it wasn't up to me. I'd have gotten bored after one or two clues maximum." Although, at the rate they were going maybe that would have been better. "Okay, that's a relief. The idea of twenty clues was just too much!" If she had to make an actual guess, she'd say somewhere between five and ten, edging closer to five. It'd be interesting to see if she was close.

"I've never known it to, so there's really only the one choice that's already been made." She grinned at the question. "Yes! It's actually pretty fun, and I've been practicing my Goobledegook and Mermish with Professor Dumbledore, so I shouldn't offend anyone when we do make contact with them."

"Ducklings are younger and less experienced and it shows an imbalanced power. Not sure I'd have survived without Hermione and they aren't less important than me." He shrugged. "I guess it feels wrong, because they were as important in destroying Voldemort as I was." Harry had no idea what it was like to have siblings, so he didn't know if it was the same or different. "It's good that they are here, then." He briefly wondered about Ron and his siblings, but he was sure that Ron would put him and Hermione first, even though he loved his brothers.

"Probably that's how long it took me and Ron to get bored," he said, chuckling. "That's why we have Hermione to keep us on task. We'll see what we end up with, though."

He could see how excited she was about the job, although the idea of learning languages sounded so boring. "French was too complicated for me. Oui was just about my limit. Poor Fleur gave up quickly. I'm glad you like it. I would have gone with English and possibly still managed to offend them, so you're already doing better than me."
