Hannah had just finished the last of the paperwork necessary to ship out this week's viewer orders. She had already picked up the things she had at the Diagon Alley store and was going to head on to Hogsmeade before going home. As she exited the back to head out through the front of the pub, she knew her plans were going to change when she heard someone call her name.

An exhausted look upon her face, she turned in the direction of the voice. A small, but tired smile, crept onto her features as recognition of the voice dawned with the scanning of Hannah's eyes. "Lavender, it is so good to see you."

"It's good to see you, too!" Lavender replied. She noticed that Hannah seemed a bit tired and wondered if perhaps tonight wasn't the best night to hang out. "Do you have anything going on? I was just passing by and thought you might want to have some fun."

Lavender ran through a list of options in her head. They could get drinks, but they were already in a bar so that seemed a little obvious. They could also go eat at a restaurant or go to one of their flats to chat. Lavender didn't want to suggest anything until Hannah confirmed she was free, though, so she waited for a response.

"I was just about to head home, put on some pajamas and flop down in front of the telly," Hannah replied truthfully. And while she'd been looking forward to a night of nothing, she could just as easily be persuaded to do something relaxing with a friend.

"Really, I'm up for anything as long as it doesn't require hanging around here." It wasn't that Hannah didn't enjoy Finnigan's, she just didn't want to wind up spending her time off being bombarded by customers who recognized her as the spark behind rental and purchase agreements.

"Good idea. Have you had dinner yet? We could stop at a restaurant and get something to eat," Lavender suggested. She couldn't help grinning at Hannah. The idea of having dinner with a friend was so appealing at that moment that she was almost bouncing on her feet. Lavender had always been a social person so it wasn't too surprising.

"If you don't mind, I know this great little place just around the corner from the Leaky Cauldron in muggle London," she said. Lavender often stopped at this particular restaurant on her way home if she wasn't up for cooking, something she was not very good at doing.
