Justin hugged Hannah warmly. "Hi to you," he grinned, looking her over. She was always a pretty girl. He looked behind her and nodded. "Is everything okay with your dad?"
They had been a close group in school - Justin, Hannah, Ernie, Zach, Susie. He had thought that it would be like losing family by the time they all graduated. He was sad to have bowed out a year early even if it was for his own safety. "Could you go to school last year?" he asked. "Blood issues are so stupid. I really missed you guys. I tried to sneak an owl off a time or two but there were too many who said that they could be tracked."
He held out an arm for Hannah to take and walked her down the steps until they could apparate to the restaurant, a little Italian place called the Garden. "I hope you like Italian food. I miss the pasta."
