*complete, justin finch-fletchley, megan jones, september 1997

Date: 28 September 1997
Characters: Megan and Justin
Location: Paris
Status: Private
Summary: A real, non pretend date
Completion: Complete

Two months ago Megan would never have dreamed that she would actually be living with a bloke in a hotel room all her own. Or that that bloke was the one and only Justin Finch-Fletchley. Indeed, the thought that she would not return to school would have been completely unfathomable barely a month ago. So much had changed in the last two months, not only in her life but in the wizarding world as a whole. Nevertheless, she found herself considerably more comfortable in her new position, even though they had left everything behind. Were she a more nervous character, Megan would likely have wondered whether someone was looking for them, or even cared that they hadn't attended their summons. As it was, Megan was having fun pretending to be dating Justin, although part of her very much wished it was anything but pretending. Plus, kissing Justin was yummy.

Today, however, Megan was rushing back from the nearby grocers. She'd gone out for a while and had stopped by the grocers following on her way back to the hotel. It took a few minutes, but Megan soon made her way up to the their room. "Honey, I'm home," she said with a giggle only a couple of minutes later as she'd opened the door and stepped inside.

Justin couldn't really say he minded being on the run much. Not when he was with Megan, at least. Of course, he'd noticed a potential problem recently; it was so easy pretending to be her boyfriend, that Justin was starting to forget what it was like just being her friend. Fake dating Megan was pretty brilliant, he had to say, and she played her part exceptionally well, too. Maybe that's where the confusion came in. Sometimes when she looked at him it was hard to remember that they were just Justin and Meg, two Muggle-borns on the run, instead of Johnathan and Diana, two young people in love.

It was likely that someday they would be back in England, back to normal, and he wouldn't know how to act around her anymore. From what he could tell from the Prophet, however, that day was a very long way off. So for now, he was going to enjoy himself.

He was reading the newspaper now while Megan was out. Things seemed to be getting worse, and he was a little worried about sending her out alone. What if someone spotted her? He'd just be sitting her with his bloody newspaper and no idea what had happened until she failed to come home.

It was a great relief when the door opened and Meg stepped in the room. Setting the paper aside, he stood and went to greet her, pressing a kiss to her cheek for the benefit of any passing maids, obviously. "Did you have fun?" he asked.

Megan grinned as she spotted Justin coming toward her. Even though she'd only been gone a few minutes, Megan had sincerely missed his presence. She would have liked dragging Justin along with her, spending time with him outside of their room, but was sure that he would have been bored. Besides wasn't there something about spending time alone? Surely he would get sick of her soon enough, and she was doing her very best to keep that from happening, even if it meant going off and finding other things to do.

"I did," Megan said with a smile as she closed the door behind her and leaned in to give him a quick peck on the lips, because the maids obviously had secret cameras in the room. "Did you miss me?" Megan asked grinning widely, not actually expecting a truthful answer, as she walked over to the table and set down her purchases.
