Everybody's working for the weekend.
[Ministry by the fountain]
[morning]
[anyone]

Harry was excited, after weeks of playing bodyguard to Hannah he was going to have some time off. Not that he didn't enjoy it and love Hannah, but after over two months of watching her, he realized he was seeing more of her then he was of his own girlfriend. Hell, he was even starting to miss his desk and get sick of pastries. Frankly he had become a sad excuse for a human being. But she had owled him the previous night that her and Owyn were taking off for Germany for at least a couple of weeks and he was happy for her. She needed a vacation and some time alone with Owyn. It was pretty obvious how much she missed him and Harry couldn't help but think worse of the Minister for piling the work on Owyn, when it was so clear that he needed to be with his girlfriend. But that was his business and he wasn't going to get involved. He had enough trouble on his hands. Namely the fact that he told Hannah he would tell Shacklebolt that she left town. The terror in her eyes when she admitted she hadn't told him, was enough to make Harry volunteer for the duty. Kingsley would probably kill him, but for Hannah it was worth it.

He made his way into the Ministry with his freshly brewed cup of coffee from home, Hannah taught him how to make it the way she did, and a box full of pastries from Hannah he made his way to the fountain. Normally he would have gone straight up to his desk, but he figured another ten minutes wouldn't hurt. He could enjoy his pastry and avoid Kingsley at the same time. And it really didn't get much better then that.

	Tonks was, for once, actually early. This was kind of an unusual occurrence, since she had a tendency to forget things, or make messes, or just plain oversleep... The list was endless. Of course, then she nearly tripped over someone as she walked past the fountain. "Oh, bugger! Watch where you're - Harry!" Her scowl softened. "Sorry about that, didn't see you there."

	Harry couldn't help but laugh as she tripped over him. It's not that he was laughing at her, but just happy that somethings never really change. "Tonks! Have a nice trip," he asked giggling. "Sorry, it was just too easy. I'll share my pastries if you can sit down and not fall in the fountain." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can sit down without falling," she said with a little grin as she steadied herself and plopped down next to him. "Got any cherry?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"But it doesn't happen that often," he laughed. "Cherry? I think I did find one in here, but it's and cheese and cherry danish. Very special. I can't give that to just anyone. But I think I could be convinced to give it to...oh...A pig!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She gave a long-suffering sigh, but obliged. "You know, you're still a trainee. I can always put in a bad word." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't need you to put in a bad word for me, Shacklebolt is going to kill me the second I get to the offices. And if you put in a bad word for me, you'll be doing your own filing. You don't want to do that," he asked with grin, passing her a cherry cheese danish. "So what exactly are you doing here this early? Or are you late for yesterday?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ha ha, very funny," she said dryly. "I suppose I just don't have much reason to be late, what with my boyfriend away at work," she joked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, she might be blushing just a little now. "A certain person we both know, who's initials are R, J, and L." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imascarman 2009-09-09 05:25 am UTC (link)
	"R, J and L," He asked, running through the names of everyone he knows in his head. "R, J, L. R, J, L. R, J, L. R, J, L." Harry bit into his his bear claw chewing in silence. He took a sip of his coffee before it suddenly hit him and he spit coffee everywhere. "REMUS LUPIN?!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course, you daft man," she said, laughing and cleaning up the spilt coffee with a wave of her wand. "You are an incredibly messy eater, Harry, has anyone ever mentioned that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hermione, Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, should I go on? And I really only get messy when someone drops a bomb like that! Since when have you two been dating and why is this the first time I've heard about it," he asked, crossing his arms. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	auror_tonks 2009-09-09 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	Taking a bite of her danish, she shrugged a little, but waited until she swallowed to continue talking, unlike a certain someone. "It hasn't been very long, that's why. And you're the first to hear about it, so don't go nattering to everyone, eh?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imascarman 2009-09-10 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Harry groaned, as he had already begun compiling a list of people he would tell the second he was at his desk. He had been debating between telling Angie and Ginny first, but he was glad he didn't put too much thought into it. "Well fine. What's the point of gossip if I can't tell anyone?"

	"At least have a camera on-hand so I can see the reaction shots. I mean, what are friends for, right?" She grinned and snatched another pastry out of the box. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course I will. And then I will submit them to the Prophet, with a nice headline. Because as you say, what are friends for," he laughed. "Hey! Who said you could have another." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You mean you didn't? Oh... I must be hard of hearing..." She smirked at him just a little as she bit into the pastry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, but I will. Trust me, I will," he cackled. "But...but..," he gave her a sad face as she bit into the pastry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Harry smiled and grabbed her arms, pulling them around his waist. "I know, I had to get up early and help Hannah get out of town with Owyn. Kingsley's going to have my head, but if it means she and her boyfriend get alone time, then I'm happy to have done it. Tell me you are getting out of work early today." It seemed like such a simple question, but it felt like an eternity since they had spent any quality time together. They seemed to move in shifts, having opposite schedules, days off, everything was a mess and he missed his little ginger girl.

She closed her eyes as he pulled her to him, resting her head on the back of his shoulder. "Kingsley IS going to have your head!" she exclaimed, but didn't scold. She knew what it was like, not having any time with the one you wanted to be with. She'd felt that way for years. She thought about his question and she knew what her answer should be. She was swamped and leaving would only make it worse. She kissed his shoulder. "You know what? Yes. I am leaving early. I'm up to my eyes in paperwork but I haven't spent a single solitary quality moment with you in ages. I don't care if I have to beg your invisibility cloak from you, I'm doing it."

"My cloak is yours love. If I have to curse Shacklebolt myself I am getting time alone with you tonight." He closed his eyes and sighed. He loved what their job meant to the people of the community and that he could make a difference, but he was beginning to question what it was doing to their relationship. The only time they ever were together were the few short hours when they were both sleeping. "I have a better idea, let's just quit and run away together. I hear the Bahamas are nice."
