Who? Lavender and Kevin
When? Monday midday
Where? St. Mungo's gift shop
What? awkward meeting
Rating? PG-13ish (mostly for remembering things)

Lavender stood at the counter in the gift shop drumming her fingers on a tablet that she was doodling on. It was a picture of a dress she wanted to design. She'd been working on it for a while and it still wasn't right. The straps were out of place, maybe? she thought, cocking her head to the side before she waved her hand over the drawing, watching the straps disappear. Getting her pencil back out, she started to draw a different look when someone walked in. It would have to wait, she sighed, tucking the tablet under the counter. She ran her hand over her hair and looked up with a smile at her customer...

Kevin needed a sympathy card. One of his band mates, Gordie, had lost his father this morning. Kevin had come to bring Gordie some food and a toothbrush last night and now he was back here again.

He'd had an errand to run by the hospital anyway, so instead of going to a pharmacy for a card, he had come by the hospital shop.

He browsed the card display and found one that wasn't too sentimental or spiritual. It was simple. He didn't even look up at the counter until he had what he wanted in hand.

Lavender watched him from the counter, noting that he was in the sympathy section of the cards. She wondered who had passed away, her face falling just a little, feeling for the guy.

Waiting for him to finish, she shifted things around on the counter, not that there was much, she'd already cleaned it off twice. It was quiet for a Monday - but she shouldn't complain.

When he finished and started to head for the counter, Lavender looked up and froze. It was him.

Kevin's eyes locked with her's. He stopped walking. He felt a knot form in his chest. Lavender was the one major indiscretion in Kevin's life. He had always resisted the urges, always just eaten meat and stayed at home, and then she had to be very forward on the one night that Kevin would have a hard time saying no.

He wondered if she recognized him. Then he winced, mentally slapping his own forehead. Of course. He was famous. Damn.

Of course she knew who he was, but it hadn't been until late into the night that it had dawned on her. Her heart skipped a beat, then started to race. Not only was Kevin Entwhistle the lead singer of the most popular wizard band of the time but he was one one-night stand that she couldn't get out of her head.

"Hi.. hello..." she started, smiling politely. "Did you find what you were looking for?" she asked, remembering her job.

	"Uh... yeah." He made the difficult two steps to the register and set the card on the counter. Should he pretend he didn't remember her? That seemed rude, and he remembered her from his year at Hogwarts, so he'd look really snotty if he didn't acknowledge her, right? And then she might think he did this all the time.

She took the card and scanned it with her wand. A small slip of paper slid out of the register and she handed it to him - he could run his wand over it to withdraw money from his Gringotts account or he could pay with money. "How... how are you?" she asked him politely, smiling again.

Oh, but it had been a good night. She had to hold onto the counter to keep from sighing, swooning just a little, or just plaing jumping on him. He had to remember... right?

	He remembered far too much. She was his first, he would always remember that. He remembered how soft it was between her thighs. He remembered the way her lips felt on his neck. Kevin looked down at the counter. "Alright, you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good," she said, nodding a little, "quiet Monday to go easy on the start of the week." Without the full moon, it was a little easier to talk to him - though awkward, she thought. Her skin tingled at the memory of his lips on her neck, on her collarbone on... she shifted, passing him the paper. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin felt pretty horrible about the whole ordeal because he wasn't that guy and he wasn't jaded enough to assume Lavender was that girl. He took the receipt. Lucas would have been proud that Kevin had bedded such an attractive girl. Kevin was just embarrassed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But, Lavender was that jaded - at least about herself, anyway. There was silence that reigned in the room. She closed her eyes then gathered her courage to actually talk to him about something other then the day of the week. "I didn't get a chance to properly thank you for the other night. You saved my life and you didn't have to..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin felt plenty thanked. He had worried every night since that she'd only slept with him because he'd saved her from that mugger. Had she felt obligated? "Don't worry about it." It wasn't like Kevin was going to just walk by and let a muggle shoot her for her purse. Violence against women was really one thing Kevin could not ignore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender shook her head. "No, really," she smiled. "You were... my knight in shining armor," she said sincerely. Lavender sighed a little, leaning on the counter. It was OK to flirt with the rockstar, right? Even if she had already slept with him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin felt his cheeks getting hot. He didn't know what to say to that, but to his credit (or discredit) he rarely knew what to say to anything. He was quiet for a wordsmith. "Ok." Kevin fiddled with his gloves. "D'you want to have dinner some time?" He was supposed to ask that, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender was a little taken aback. It was a situation that never happened - once she slept with a guy, it was usually over and she didn't see or talk to them again. But this guy... he was different, she knew that from the moment he rescued her. "Dinner... yeah," she nodded, "that sounds... great," she smiled brightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-07-20 03:19 am UTC (link)
	"Okay." He nodded. "I've got a pretty full schedule this week but things get moved around all the time. I'll owl you?" Board meeting. Photoshoot. A wake. Kevin had a lot to do over the next few days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender nodded in agreement. She was going to have dinner with Kevin Entwhistle, who was she to argue with him. "Yeah, no that's.. yeah," she laughed, pulling a piece of paper and a pen toward her. She jotted down her address for him. "It's just off of Diagon Alley so a lot of owls come and go," she assure him, passing him the paper. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin slipped it into the breast pocket of his shirt. He was eager to see her again, but he was nervous too. He needed to erase the image of her naked in his mind. "Well, have a nice day." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thanks, you do the same," she smiled. Oh, Merlin's Beard - she was going to have dinner with a guy that she'd already slept with? It was so backwards and yet... she couldn't wait to hear from him! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-07-20 12:31 pm UTC (link)
	Kevin gave a little half wave as he walked out of the shop. Yes, this was all backwards, but Kevin wasn't sure what else to do. (Reply to this) (Parent)
