Characters: Adrian Pucey, Ginny Weasley
Setting: Settlement 1, pub & then the air
Content: G
Status: Public: Open

Adrian could hardly contain himself as he waited for Ginny to join him at the pub. He had awoken late last night to a knock on his duplex's door, and figuring it was something to do with business he'd quickly thrown on shorts and a t-shirt before answering the front door. And there they stood. His parents, looking annoyed and normal, and his sister looking very tired and incredibly pregnant and Will, beaming at him like they'd all just won the lottery. And really, they had.

The hugs and catching up and chattering late into the night was out of character for all of them, but they had done it anyway and so he now sat at the pub with a strong cup of tea in front of him, waiting for his new friend to join him for lunch and a social flight while family was dealing with moving into their duplex just down the street from him (his parents on one side, his sister, Will, and the eventual baby on the other) and learning the ropes from their datapads and Ministry employees.

Hardly able to stay in his seat he sipped his tea and bit his bottom lip, sure that his eyes were sparkling like some ridiculous cartoon puppy with a new toy.

Adrian wouldn't admit it but he blushed just a little bit and felt a bit... down... when she brushed off his cheek kiss so lightly. So much for that, he figured. But when she went on about his family he couldn't help but glow again.

"If I've ever known Sera at all, she won't let something like time and biology get in her way; she may be feigning freak out over being the first, but she wants it." He laughed and freshened both of their teas.

"So, lunch? Before our flight? My treat." He beamed at her.

"It's great that they were assigned housing so close to you. My folks are on the other side of One - though that's plenty close enough for me. I think I'd die if my Mum was in visual distance of my place. It's enough that I've got Charlie next door," Ginny said happily. "Don't get me wrong, I love being so close to Charlie. He moved out when I was pretty young so we didn't see a lot of each other before coming here."

She noticed the drop in his expression as she had been taking her seat but Ginny didn't know what to make of that. The hug and his light kiss had been friendly but not out of the ordinary for her. Nothing she would consider as being forward or a pass.

"Just the chips for me," she answered with a quick smile. "You couldn't have gotten much sleep last night. Are you sure you're up for flying?"

"Are you kidding? I haven't slept since they arrived but I want nothing more than to go flying for you," he ordered a chicken soup and a glass of water and grinned at her again. "Where should we go?"

It wasn't long until their lunches were delivered and the barmaid made sure they knew the deck was open even in the evening. "Hm, evening on the deck, stars, warm air..." Adrian looked around and smiled, "Maybe after our flight we'll want to come back," he said cheekily.

"Well, we can fly anywhere once we leave the settlement but there's a spot over by the lake that folks have been playing set-up Quidditch games at," Ginny replied.

The food smelled great and Ginny felt her cheeks darken with a blush when the barmaid clearly thought they were together but she didn't correct her. "That'd be nice," she agreed with a smile, digging into her food. "If you aren't ready to pass out by then. That second wind you're on won't last all night."
