"Not just you," Oliver assured her as he stepped in behind her. He had no idea how it all happened, but he didn't think that much mattered at the moment. All that was really important was that Voldemort was gone, and people could begin to get on with their lives.

He returned her smile as he moved back to her side once they reached the bar. "Do you want to stay at the bar, or move to a table after we get our drinks?"

"I think there's a free table over there," Lavender said, glancing over her shoulder. "Might as well get a table if we can."

She turned back to the bar, smiling brightly at the barmaid. Lavender ordered her drink, fishing in her handbag for something to pay with. Perhaps now that the war was over the monetary situation would get better.

Drink in hand, Lavender moved to the side to let Oliver order his.

Oliver reached a hand out to stop her when she started digging through her bag. "Its on me," he said before turning to the barmaid and placing his order. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out enough to cover their drinks before the girl handed him his drink and he turned, his fingers lightly on Lavender's elbow to lead her back to the free table.

Once there, he pulled the seat out for her before taking his own seat and settling down. He looked about the place. "Is it usually this busy at night, or is it just the celebration?"

"Oh, thank you." Lavender smiled, surprised but pleased by his generosity. It proved to be a good thing, though, as Lavender hadn't planned to go out straight after work.

She blushed as Oliver pulled out her seat: hopefully, it was too dark in the pub to show. "No, not normally this busy," she confirmed, shaking her head. Taking a sip of her drink, she added, "I kind of like it, though. It reminds me of Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade."

"Not a problem at all," he said with a smile. "I ran you over- it's the least I could do."

He nodded, his gaze moving over to her. "I like it- I haven't seen this many people this happy in a long time.."

"I know what you mean." Lavender took a small sip of her drink. "It's like the whole community has just come to life!" She grinned. "I sound like I've spent too long working in the hospital."

Looking down at her glass, Lavender smiled at Oliver. "I think a toast," she said with a slight giggle. "To... new neighbours. New starts." She bit her lip. "Or something like that."

"Nah, not really.." Oliver shook his head with a smile. "Well, maybe you do a little. But that's okay! You're out and about now."

"A toast," he agreed, holding his glass up. "To all of that. And new friends."
