Who? Lavender and Hermione
Where? St. Mungo's cafeteria
When? Sunday afternoon, lunchtime
What? Girls meeting for lunch
Rating? PGish

Lavender left the shop in the hands of her assistants, waving as she walked down the hall to meet Hermione for lunch. She'd been working in the back, going through inventory and ordering slips. Hermione was in the building and they'd made arrangements to meet for lunch and Lavender made her way to the cafeteria to meet her. Once there, she smiled when she saw her friend. It was the first time she was seeing Hermione since she and Kevin had gotten married and she was excited to see her. "Hi!" she grinned, waving toward her.

	Lavender's jaw dropped at Hermione's question. "Hermione! I... n-no!" she stampered. "No!" she declared, shaking her head. "No, we're in love and we want to spend our lives together!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione nodded, letting go of Lavender's hand. "I know you are, I just... well, I had to ask. It is incredibly sudden, isn't it?" She would have only been more excited had Lavender actually been pregnant. "Well, let's get lunch! I don't have much time before I have to get back to work." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, Kevin said that he had been saving the ring for Christmas, or something," she grinned as they went to get food. It was cafeteria style, pick what you wanted then pay. Lavender grabbed a tray and started looking for something appealing. "But, I was a little upset and we were talking about our future and... it just happened," she smiled. Lavender's stomach turned a little at some of the food and she couldn't find anything she wanted.

"But, what about you? You haven't told me anything about how things are going with Ron," she smiled over her shoulder, "and it's time you spill."

	Hermione followed behind her, picking up her own tray. It was really romantic, though she couldn't imagine it happening to her. Ron's Mum would kill them both. "That's so sweet." Hermione responded. Kevin seemed like a really wonderful guy, and she was so happy for Lavender. "Oh... Ron." Hermione actually blushed a little. "We went up on his broomstick." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender paused in her hunt for food, turning back to Hermione. "Hermione... that's not a detail," she chided. "Come on, I tell you everthing," she pouted, taking a small bowl of fruit. "What happened on your broom ride? Was it at night under the stars? Come on, give me something! I'm a married woman now, the romance is gone!" she teased. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-06 03:08 am UTC (link)
	Hermione snorted, reaching for an apple. "The romance is gone? Please, Lavender, you've got it come out of your ears!" She pushed Lavender's tray forward down the line to get to the sandwiches. "It was at night. Over The Burrow. It was probably the most beautiful and romantic view I've ever seen." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh, that's definitely romantic," she sighed, grinning as she grabbed her tray again. Her smile faded and she scrunched up her nose at the look of the sandwiches. There was even chicken salad on a crossant, one of her favorites and it just made her stomach turn. "Hmmm, well, when you're ready to tell me more, I'll be ready to listen," she said, walking over to the pay register with her fruit and a bowl of soup and crackers she'd grabbed. "I'll go grab a table," she said.

	"All right." Hermione grabbed a sandwich, some milk, and a cookie, then paid and headed over to where Lavender had picked out a table. "I think... I think I'm falling for him." She said, slipping into the chair opposite Lavender's. "And I think he might be falling for me." She went rather pink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

For Lavender, she couldn't imagine 'Won-Won' in a serious relationship. But then again, she didn't know Ron as an adult. "Oh, that's... wonderful," she grinned. She hadn't spoken to him in a long time. "We should all go out together sometime," Lavender suggested seriously. "Do you think Ron would be OK with that?" she asked aloud. She picked at her fruit, mostly pushing it around, taking a bite from a strawberry.

	Ron went off the beaten path for a bit after the battle at Hogwarts. Hermione considered herself lucky to have him back in her life. "I think so." Hermione said. Might be a bit awkward, but she couldn't imagine it spoiling their time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Kevin was in our year, so they might have something to talk about," she shrugged. "Well, I mean, I think Kevin likes Quidditch. Ha, something I don't know about my own husband," she smirked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hermione didn't comment on that. She imagined there was a lot about Kevin that Lavender didn't know--and vice versa. How well could one possibly get to know another in such a short amount of time? But they were in love, and would learn everything in time.

Hermione herself had a lot to learn about Ron, too.

"You'll get there." She said. "At least Kevin probably doesn't care much for the Cannons. We won't have to sit and listen to them prattle on about that."

	She shrugged, poking at her food. "Well, Kevin likes music, obviously," she pointed out. "And he has a dog... and then we don't talk much," she admitted, shrugging a little. Lavender went to sip her soup then set down her spoon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-06 04:00 am UTC (link)
	Who needs talking when there's romance, sex, love, intimacy, togetherness, trust... all those things go hand in hand with marriage. Hermione just hoped some day she'd have them, too. "They could talk about music." She said, thinking. "Or politics." She added, then snorted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-06 04:05 am UTC (link)
	Lavender pondered that. "Politics? Don't know how that would go," she laughed, sitting back in her seat as she sipped her water. "Well, maybe we'll both get to know both of them better. I mean... who knows, but it could be fun," she laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-06 04:10 am UTC (link)
	"I think it'd be a lot of fun." As long as it wasn't awkward for Ron and Lavender... but Hermione couldn't imagine it would be. Ron was well past that part of his life, wasn't he? He was past it before it was even over... but she wouldn't ever dare tell Lavender that. "What should we do on our date?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-06 04:15 am UTC (link)
	Lavender felt really uncomfortable, like her stomach was doing flip-flops. "Umm, maybe dinner and... ahh, a club or something," she suggested. It had to be the full moon approaching, she thought, pondering the date in her head. Yeah, few days, it had to be what was making her light headed and tired. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That sounds nice." Hermione watched Lavender for a moment, wondering if she was ill. "Are you feeling all right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-06 04:22 am UTC (link)
	"Kevin's really good at finding local bands to listen to... maybe he'll stumble onto something for us," she offered. At Hermione's question, Lavender shook her head a little. "No... actually, I'm not," she admitted, resting her forehead in her hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-06 04:26 am UTC (link)
	"That'd be great." Hermione said with a smile. "There's also the muggle cinema. I hear that's popular for dates, too." Hermione frowned a bit. At least they were in a hospital. "Do you want me to take you downstairs?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-06 04:29 am UTC (link)
	She nodded, feeling sick to her stomach. "Could be fun," she agreed, laughing lightly, reaching for her water again. "No, no... I'm fine just... exhausted," she sighed. "Working too much and..." It was close to the full moon, but Hermione didn't know about her affliction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-06 04:33 am UTC (link)
	Hermione gave a little nod. It was a tough time lately. "Right. Well, please let me know if I can help in any way." She added, watching Lavender with concern. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-06 04:35 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," she smiled a little then laughed, sipping her water. "Maybe you're right... maybe I'm pregnant," she laughed again. After a moment, her smile fell and she peered over at Hermione because... that wasn't possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-06 04:58 am UTC (link)
	Hermione was staring at her. "Are you?" She asked after a moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-06 05:01 am UTC (link)
	"I can't be," she said seriously, her mind racing. "I mean, I've been on a potion for a long time, Hermione. It's not like... I mean... they're effective. Clearly, or I would have been a mum a long time ago," she panicked. She started calculating if she was late or not... "Shit..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-06 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	Hermione paused. "Have you forgotten to take it? Or been late, recently? Within the last couple months?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-06 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	"No, I... oh, Merlin!" she exclaimed, then started shaking her head. "It doesn't work like that, does it? I mean... I never forget to take it... but I ran out and... uhhh, one day, can it happen one day?" she whispered in horror. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-07 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"Well, I don't know, I imagine that it... it's not infallible. Most magics have some flaws and loopholes." Hermione said, shaking her head a little. "I suppose if the one day is the day that you ovulated, then sure." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-07 03:49 am UTC (link)
	Lavender pressed her hand over her eyes. "That's too much... too complicated," she groaned. "Hermione, I can't be pregnant. I'm not ready to be a mum... we just got married," she whimpered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, you should have thought of that a few weeks ago when you missed your potion." Hermione couldn't help it. It just slipped out. It was so very Hermione-like.

"I mean, I'm really sorry, but a baby is a blessing! You don't need to worry about money, there's plenty of love to go around... you've got great friends..." She was trying to be helpful now, feeling bad about what slipped.

	Lavender moved her hand and stared over at Hermione. "It was one day!" she protested. She felt nauseous again and she took a breath, calming her nerves. "I know that but... we're not ready," she said, shaking her head. "Maybe... maybe it's just a stomach bug," she reasoned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-09 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"Hopefully. But you won't know for sure until you take a test." Hermione said. She, being a virgin still, had never had a pregnancy scare before. But she imagined they were rather startling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-09 03:25 am UTC (link)
	Her throat felt dry and the water was a little soothing. "Yeah... a test, just to be sure," she nodded in agreement. But... what if it was positive? (FTB??) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
