RP: Dinner with a friend Who: Harry & Hermione What: Harry finally leaves Grimmauld Place! When: 7/25/98; evening Where: Hermione's place Warnings: None Completion Status: Ongoing.
Harry had gotten re-accustomed to living in Grimmauld Place since returning to London. He'd had to learn how to sleep through the screams of some of the aggressive portraits, and had fully blocked out the Black family tree on the wall in one of the bedrooms. He'd moved into Sirius' room, not the master bedroom, and it felt a little bit like home. But it was still uncomfortable in some ways, and Kreacher's food was still fairly awful. He was looking forward to getting out, even if he wasn't quite ready to make his public entry back into the UK Wizarding World.
So he was excited to floo to Hermione's parents' home and have a real meal and reconnect with her. He was pretty sure this was the longest he'd ever gone without seeing her, since they were 11, except for a few awful summers on Privet Drive.
He floo'd easily enough and stepped out to brush the soot off his t-shirt. "'Mione?" He called out, realizing he'd never been to her parents' house. He didn't want to just walk in, though if it was Hermione's home, he'd feel comfortable doing just that. So instead, he stood near the fireplace and waited, a bottle of Elvish wine clutched in one hand.
