When Ron mentioned finishing his NEWTs, she had completely forgotten that he along with other students had missed their final year in preparation for the impending war. She didn't know what they had done in the interim. She hadn't been given the option to prepare or go to school. Had she stayed home that year there would have been no further education for Hannah. With Jillian gone, the girl's only option for the last bit of her formal education was attendance during her final year of schooling.
"Dinner with the Weasley's seems kind of overbearing. I'm certain to get the third, fourth and fifth degree if I show alone." It was now her turn to look between Dean and Ron. Hopefully, Ron would catch the fact that she didn't want anyone to mistake them as a couple. After what had already happened and the way the incident had to have made Mr. Weasley's campaign look, Hannah didn't think Ron needed to open any more doors for gossip against that family.

Hannah's response, too, was definitely reassuring.
"Actually, I think I owe you a family dinner too, don't I, Hannah?" Dean asked, remembering that he'd said she should meet his siblings at some point. "You are just a popular dinner guest, I guess!"

But Ron caught her glance at Dean, and stepped up quickly, "Well, maybe it would be best to have the two of you over. I'll have to talk to my mum about it, and make sure she is not too busy. I don't know when me and my friends have popped in for a Weasley meal. Its been ages."
He shook his head, smiling, "Times are changing. My mom's a working woman. It's just hard for me to get used to. She was always busy as a bee; its just so strange to know she's out and about in the workforce."
Ron turned towards Dean, "So, how's the office? What do you do exactly? I remember something vaguely about having the afternoons off now. You get paid for that kind of work, do you?"
Ron was curious; he had been out of touch with Dean for quite awhile.

By now, Hannah wanted to concentrate on finishing her roast so she turned her focus to her plate so the men folk could talk. Besides, she too wanted to know the answer to what it was exactly that Dean did all day.

At Ron's question Dean smiled, taking a sip of his beer before answering.
"Well, right now I'm working as a legal assistant," he explained. "Which includes everything from fetching teas to sitting in on depositions and taking notes." It was one of the things Dean liked best about his job- it was different every day.
"Since last spring, Mr. Bingley has had me researching aspects of the werewolf legislation- it started out as part of our appeal to get Mandy and Zak off of the Registry, but has turned into a sort of pet project for the both of us." It really was amazing what they had come up with- Dean wasn't sure when it would actually become of some use, but was looking forward to the day when it could be.
"Lately, though, I've been focusing more on studying. I'll have my initial solicitor exams at the beginning of April- but Bingley was a bit worried about me burning myself out, so he's limited my hours till then." Really, Dean was rather happy with his new hours, and thought it was great that his bosses were being so supportive of his efforts to do well.
"It's not quite as amusing as your job, I'm sure," Dean smiled at Ron. "But I like it well enough."

Ron ate his meal as he spoke, although he wasn't too hungry, knowing Hermione was close by somewhere.
"I think they'll be dancing. Dean, can I steal Hannah away from you? For a spin on the floor? I owe her that much, for being such a great associate. Would you dance with me, Hannah?"
Ron glanced at Hannah. He wasn't sure if he was supposed to ask her first or ask Dean; it was fairly awkward but he wasn't going to be daunted. If he were Dean, he would be hard pressed to let another man dance with his girlfriend. If Hannah was his girlfriend, his life would be very different he mused as he glanced from Dean to the pretty blond. She would be good for him; she would be good for any man. He was curious as to if his friend was figuring that out.

"I'm sure he won't mind," Hannah replied as she allowed Ron to lead her to the dance floor.
