WHO: Harry and Daphne
WHEN: Monday, June 16th, 2002 - 7pm
WHERE: Matsuri (Japanese Restaurant)
WHAT: Let's try this again
RATING: Uhh....whatever....
STATUS: Closed / Complete

Having spent almost an hour chatting with Susan at the Leaky Cauldron, Harry had forgone his shopping all together. He had to work tomorrow but he'd have more then enough time once he was off and the items really weren't things he couldn't live without. Just random items he'd only know realized he'd run out of. Shrugging it off, he had headed back to his flat in order to shower and change. He was slightly looking forward to the evening. He had not had the chance to dine at Matsuri in quite a while. If he recalled correctly, the last time he had been there was with Ron and Hermione, much to Ron's displeasure. He was more of the buffet sort of person.

Once he had finished, he made the quick and painless journey over to the restaurant and checked in for their reservations. As he sat at their table and waited patiently, he glanced around. He'd lucked out and managed to book a time when the restaurant wasn't overly busy and still maintained the calm and unhurried air about it. He figured if anything, they both needed a little bit of that to counter balance the push from the ministry. If he thought about it, which he didn't want to, they were suppose to be wed by the end of this coming week. If that wasn't enough to make one sweat, he really didn't know what else was. For the moment he was simply focusing on the detail. If he looked a single detail at a time instead of the larger picture he might be able to make it through everything with his sanity in tact.

"Yeah, we're definitely not having the weddings on the same day. There would be a murder committed that day and I assure you it would be a very specific member of my family that is not my mother." She was still pretty angry with her sister, so she was a bit jumpy at the situation between them. Hell, Daphne didn't even want her at the wedding. Scrutiny would be running wild that day and if Daphne didn't want to hear it, she had to uninvite certain people. Asteria being one of them.

"I'm assuming ours will be one day and hers will be the following, though I'm not entirely sure which day it is specifically. Don't we have to be married by the end of the week? Bloody hell."

Harry raised an eyebrow but didn't comment on the situation with Daphne's sister. He figured he was better off staying out of it. The last thing he wanted was to be caught in the middle of a war....especially between sisters. You really couldn't get much more dangerous then that.

Harry just manageded to hold back a groand, but just. "Yeah, the end of the week it is." he nodded, honestly thinking that it was impossible to arrange everything in such a short period of time. "I suppose, I'm actually going to have to start making arrangements for this..."

If only he knew how bad it could get between sisters. If only he knew. Daphne tried to avoid fighting with Asteria as much as possible, but there was no denying that at times, she drover her crazy. Daphne didn't like having a sister. She wanted to be the only female in her family, but she had to work around that for the past twenty some odd years.

"It'll be easy. We do have magic," she said with a nod. Muggles must have had it hard when it came to weddings. "And an endless supply of money, I think we'll be okay if it goes the way I'm hoping it goes." Hopefully it did, too. "We'll be fine."

Harry sighed lightly, his mind already moving to ponder some details that continually seemed to plague him. He figured dinner was all but over what with the downhill spiral of conversation. Pulling himself out of his musings again, he turned his attention back to her. "I don't think I'm going to wait in regards to the Realtor. I'll see what I can set up ASAP. We clearly don't have the time to be overly patient."

A couple days was all they had....he was no longer surprised why many couples decided for a long engagement. It gave them more time for all the bloody details. "So..." he eventually added. "...if your sister's wedding is after us ... ours is Saturday?"

"Well, if worse comes to worse, I honestly don't have a problem with you just moving in with me. It's not like I don't have the space right now and I do have a spare bedroom off of the living room. It would be no trouble at all." Which is kind of a lie. It would be all sorts of trouble, considering Daphne used that as a storage area for all of her clothing, but she could make do and use her actual closet for once. It wouldn't be that big of a problem.

Daphne gave a slow nod. She had to think about it for a moment, but she supposed he was correct. "It looks like that's what it's going to be. Mum would have a cow if Asteria got married before I did."

Harry wasn't so sure it would be so easy. Normally, a spare bedroom wasn't exactly a spare bedroom. Furniture would already be in there and the like, so they'd have to rearrange and clear out, which was far more difficult then simply moving into an empty room. He was determined to get their living arrangements out of the way before it became an issue. He figured it was about the only thing left for him to do, and he needed to be doing something. "We'll see what happens, I suppose."

"I suppose that makes sense." He responded, not exactly sure how it was suppose to work in Pureblood families, traditional or not. "You being the oldest of the two of you."

She didn't mind if he did move in, but it would be even better if he didn't since it would mean a lot less work to be done on her part. Plus, she wasn't quite prepared to go through all of her stuff and get rid of the things she didn't have room for. That's why moving in would be the best idea. More room.

"You know what?" She began with a wild smirk, looking across the table at him. "Let's just go all out. Invite everyone, I'll do the same. Make it as big as possible. Might as well, right? It's our only wedding, might as well make it the best."

Harry was quite glad he hadn't been taking a drink of his sake when Daphne voiced her most recent idea. The level of insanity it held made him swallow the air he'd breathed in and he figured anything over 4% of alcohol has going to hurt if it came out of his nose.

"What?" He asked incredulously. It was stress, that's all. Anyone could go insane with the amount of stress they were both under. He couldn't hold that against her, that would just be cruel. Yeah, Daphne, that's a great idea, shall I invite the media?" he asked with a fair share of sarcasm.

Daphne cast a quick glare over at Harry before letting out a great sigh, her hands in the air as she officially threw the towel in. Yeah, she was stressed. "Thanks for dinner, Harry," she said, taking her napkin off her lap and standing up, grabbing her bag before she looked at him quickly. "All you have to do is show up."

With that, she turned around and began walking towards the door, nodding at the waiter as she passed him. She could have really used a fag right then, so as soon as she stepped outside into the cool air, she lit one and paused, leaning against the building, her free hand running through her hair in frustration. She wasn't mad at him, she was just really upset over this whole situation and didn't know what the hell to do about it.
