He wasn't quite sure what to say. He'd never met Ginny's parents but he'd seen them at the station sometimes, especially her Mum, fussing over her children and usually with Potter in tow.
"I guess... I guess death does that," he said quietly. "Especially if you love them. When I heard Mum had died, I knew I couldn't go back to being the way I was. She wanted me to be something better and, for her sake, I had to do it."
He relaxed into a smile. "You mean no Canary Creams or Puking Pastilles at twenty paces then? Though I think it was all Gryffindor girls we have to watch out for. As Draco could tell you, Hermione's got a mean right hook."
H's smiled broadened. "Yes, she did and I think you're right. You would have to ask her that for yourself." He followed her glance then looked back at her and nodded. "Yeah, it was such a nice day and it was great to get back in the air again. I don't get much of a chance to fly these days."

Grateful for his more light-hearted smile, she smirked. "I'm pretty sure I could get the twins to make some Canary Creams for me if you really want to be a glutton for punishment," she laughed. "I heard about that. I'd have given up every chocolate frog I had to have seen the look on his face."
"It is, isn't it? Turned out quite lovely, it did. I don't get much of a chance either but I'm going to start making the time," Ginny glanced up, a soft smile on her lips. Looking back at him, she thought about what he'd said, the light flirtation, wondering if it were all just fun or if he was going to take it further. After a moment, she banished her empty beer bottle and, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear, said. "Great day, great food... great company. Not sure I could ask for anything without risking lightening striking me. I should probably stop monopolizing you though and head over to the hospital."
