The next evening after their shopping trip, Harry and Hermione went on their date. There was a new wizard restaurant called My Heir. The place was very upscale and the waiting list was long. Harry made the reservation a month ago, when he and Ginny were still together. After he kicked her out he was gonna cancel the reservation but a feeling he had made him keep it, he was now glad that he didn't cancel it.
Harry and Hermione looked good wearing some of their new clothes. Harry had on black slacks with a green button-up shirt and leather casual shoes, with green and black accents in them. Hermione had on a green dress that was cut very low in the front with a diamond tear-drop necklace that landed right between her breast. Her purse was a leather clutch with black and green in it, that matched her shoes, open toed 4inch which put her about 2 inches below Harry. She also wore a diamond tennis bracelet and diamond teardrop earrings. She up swept her hair with a few curls coming down. When Hermione came down the stairs Harry's jaw hit the floor.
"Merlin your beautiful," Harry said smiling at her.
"Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself," Hermione said with a smile.
Hermione grabbed her wrap and Harry helped her put it on. Winky opened the door and wished them a good evening.
"How are we getting there?" Hermione asked.
"Watch," Harry said. He whistled and something flew through the air. Hermione looked up and saw four white Pegasus horses pulling a white carriage.
"Oh my goodness Harry! Where did you get those?" she cried.
"They've been in my family for years. I found out about them when I got my inheritance. They were at my home in Hawaii, I'm gonna take a trip there in a couple of weeks. I was gonna ask you later after our date but. Would you go with me?" Harry said all in one breath. Hermione was shocked! To say the least. Pegasus horses, a home in Hawaii, was this really happening.
"Sure Harry I'll go. I have so much time off coming to me from the ministry, I could probably take a year with no problems."
Hermione worked at the Ministry in spell development and potions. In the five years since the war she had developed a fertility spell, to help magical women have more than one baby, she 'd also developed a potion that holds a dying person in stasis for years if need be until a cure is found for what's killing them. A spell to regrow a person's nose, arm ,leg or any other limb, the girl was good. At the age of 22 she was just as famous as the boy who lived and may have single-handedly saved their world from extinction with her fertility spell. Ron never paid attention, because he would've married her the moment he proposed. Hermione was rich, not as rich as Harry but very well off. She saved most of it and gave a chunk to charity. She wanted Ron to love her, not her money, which is why she didn't tell him or act like she had money. She lived within her means, and splurged now and then.
Harry of course knew all of this. He had the same problem, except Ginny knew he had money, just not how much. Had Ginny not been a gold digging bitch she would've been set for life. When harry kicked her out he took away her allowance of two thousand galleons a week. Ginny refused to work saying her man should take care of her. Harry excepted it because he didn't want to be alone and thought she really did love him. When she tried to re-decorate over the memory of his mum, that was it. He really and truly knew she cared nothing for him. He kicked her out the same night. She has tried to floo in and send him letters ever since. Harry warded the manor from all Weasley's except two.
(A/N: Fred didn't die in my story and neither did Dobby.)
The horse drawn carriage landed and Harry helped Hermione into it. He talked to the horses before getting in beside Hermione.
"Hold on," he said as they took off.
"This is beautiful," Hermione said grabbing Harry's hand.
"Only the best for you love," Harry said looking in to Hermione's eyes.
They held hands and snuggled close while looking at he scenery. The ride was smooth and Harry explained that the horses were like the Thestrals that pulled the carriages at Hogwarts, you tell them where you want to go and they take you. They talked and snuggled for the rest of the trip. The horses landed smoothly in front of the restaurant. Harry helped her out, spoke to the lead horse and they took off.
"Where did they go?" Hermione asked.
"There is a magical notice me not lot around the corner, they'll wait there until I call them."
The restaurant was packed but the couple was rushed through because of their celebrity status. Harry could've already been here but didn't want to use being famous to get things ahead of other people. Ginny did it all the time, when they were together.
They were led to a private booth in the back of the place, it was very romantic. They decided to order lobster, shrimp, salad and wine. For dessert they shared a small bowl of vanilla ice cream, which they took turns feeding to each other. They had a great time. After Harry paid the check and they were leaving he heard someone call his name. Harry looked back to see who it was and said. " DAMN! Ginny."
(Was gonna leave it there but I promised drama in this chapter, so here you go.)
Ginny strolled up to the pair giving Hermione a dirty look.
"What the fuck! Are doing here with her Harry?" she screamed.
"That's none of your damn business Ginerva," Harry said back. "But if you must know, Hermione is my date for the evening," he said taking Hermione's hand and walking away.
"I thought we would get back together," Ginny cried.
Harry stopped and spun around to look at Ginny. "Hell no! we most certainly will not be getting back together. I thought you would have gotten the message when, I threw you out of my house and said it's over and don't ever darken my doorstep again."
"But I love you!" Ginny screamed.
"No Ginerva, you love the idea of me, my manor and my money."
Ginny smiled an evil smile and said. "Well you better watch your back potter, because my brothers will be visiting you."
"I'm not scared of your brothers Ginny, if I had been I would've never gone out with you or let you move in with me. But I look forward to our ultimate confrontation, if what you say is true. I know two that I won't have to worry about, but I'll let you figure that one out. Come on Hermione," Harry said taking her hand again and they walked off, leaving Ginny standing there fuming.
