Author's note: Written for the current AWDT. There was no actual prompt this week, but whatever we wrote had to be titled "A Beautiful Lie".
Summary: Harry and Ginny are ready for a night on the town.
Harry finally emerged from his bedroom, showered and dressed to go out. He walked into the living room, nudged the cat out of the chair, then sat down to put his shoes on.
"You and Ginny going out again tonight?" asked Ron, munching from a bag of crisps.
"Yeah," Harry responded to his flatmate, a hint of pink creeping into his cheeks.
"Have fun," said Ron, his attention returning to the telly.

Hermione opened the door to Harry's knock. "Ginny should be ready any moment," she told her friend. "Come in and have a seat."
"Thanks," replied Harry, following her into the kitchen. "Aren't you and Ron going anywhere tonight?" he asked.
"I have some studying to do," answered Hermione, offering Harry a soda. He politely declined, and she went on to say, "We're having dinner tomorrow night."
"There you are," chirped Ginny as she breezed into the kitchen in a light cloud of perfume. She leaned over to give Harry a peck on the cheek. "Shall we go?"
Harry stood. "See you around, Hermione," he said, taking Ginny's hand.
They left the flat she shared with Hermione and walked to the nearest Apparition point. Arriving outside the restaurant where they had reservations, they strolled toward the entrance, encountering Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson, who were walking hand in hand from the opposite direction.
Harry called a greeting to the other couple, then paused to enfold Ginny in a warm hug. "Thank you for being my beautiful lie," he grinned at her. His smile turned devilish as Draco's arms came around him from behind.
Ginny beamed at them. "Thanks for being mine," she told Harry, stepping away from him and into Pansy's embrace.
