Brunch chat
Who: Harry and Hermione
What: Have brunch and talk about nightmares, and as much of the case as Harry can.
When: October 31st, around 11AM
Where: The Three Broomsticks
Rating: Worksafe, possible disturbing imagery within.

Harry caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror before he left his home. He looked pale, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He almost wished he still wore glasses, if that would help hide how obvious it was he'd gotten little sleep. he'd left work late, then been plagued by nightmare. Morning saw him not even pretending to be in bed, sitting at the table reading the Prophet and drinking coffee.

He left, eager to meet with Hermione. Besides simply wanting companionship with one of his closest friends, he had information for her, and likely she for him. That and he knew he could use her help. He arrived at the Three Broomsticks early, at about a quarter to eleven. He hadn't managed much more than coffee and toast since about 6:30 AM, but he was actually hungrier now. Not hungry enough to order before Hermione arrived though, so he merely settled down and waited at a relatively private table.

Mr. Clagg wasn't keen on the idea of letting Hermione leave early for lunch. In fact, the only reason she had been able to go was because she'd been forced to do something she absolutely hated doing. Hermione had dropped Harry's name which immediately changed her boss' attitude.

Upon entering the Three Broomsticks, Hermione looked toward their typical table. It was interesting to her how old habits died hard. The three of them had learned back in school that the table Harry now sat at was one of the best in the establishment not only for watching others but for preventing yourself from being watched. "Hello, Harry," she placed the bag containing her books on the table while she slid in. It was the same bag she had carried with them for all those months. She found it to be a rather comforting companion most of the time.

Harry hadn't even realised how hard old habits died. He immediately picked what he consciously thought of as a good table, not thinking of the strategy of it. He looked up when Hermione entered, not quite managing a full smile, but clearly pleased to see her.

"Hello, 'mione," he replied, noticing her ever-present bag. Knowing her it had more in it than just the three books she'd wanted to show him. He was surprisingly curious to take a look. The surprising part being that he wasn't grumbling about research. If Ron were there then, he'd probably be doing it for them both.

"I waited for you to before having anything. I haven't had much to eat yet so I'll probably be having something heavier than usual for lunch." In fact, he'd been looking at steak and chips and a butterbeer.
