Since most new arrivals often felt a time-difference to their body clocks, Ginny wasn't about to show up on Harry's doorstep at the crack of dawn. Not that she was even considering being awake at the crack of dawn, whatever unGodly hour that might be. Still, she got up around 7 a.m., took a shower, and dressed casually in a t-shirt and jeans. Since she'd promised Harry breakfast, she just enjoyed a cup of tea before double-checking his address in the database.

Fixing the cross path in her mind, Ginny apparated there at just five to 8 a.m. It took her a moment to orient herself on the dirt path but then she was heading up the way a few doors to his house. She knocked and waited. There was some measure of excitement in her as she hadn't really seen Harry for nearly a year, not with their training schedules and then her own journey here. They'd been friendly, of course, but she'd never quite known where she stood with him before she left. Now, of course, she was approaching this in a purely friendly manner.

"Oh...er...yeah, it'd be nice to see them...." Harry responded, trying not to let his disappointment at her rejection show.

"Complicated?" He repeated, pausing reluctantly to say hi to Lisa and order breakfast. "Marcus Flint! That foul sod? That must have been a nightmare," He responded, pulling a face. "Well, if you're not dating, then how complicated can it be, right?" He asked, a bit hopeful.

She heard his stammer, and considered it for a moment. He couldn't have meant just the two of them, could he? This was Harry, after all. She'd made the first move between them so long ago that she'd almost forgotten how socially awkward he could be. "We can always just watch something if they can't make it," she added.

"Well, no, not really," Ginny admitted sheepishly, running her fingers through her hair to brush it back from her face. It cascaded back to normal. "He was right nice, actually. I thought it was just the potion, but he's been decent to me since." She shrugged. "No, we're not dating. I'm not seeing anyone, not since coming through the portal."

Harry relaxed a little, grinning with relief. "Yeah, that would be nice," he agreed. Ginny had always been rather good at deciphering the unspoken with him, which he appreciated.

"Hmm. Well, I expect people can change. Maybe he realized what a right git he was in school and has been trying to redeem himself," he commented, shrugging a little and sitting up a little straighter as their food arrived. "So what have you been up to since you arrived, if not dating?"

"Training. I was nearly done with Healer training when I came here, and they added Muggle doctoring lessons to the course. It's only the basics - like blood types, setting bones, doing stitches, that sort of thing, but its basically added another year of training. I'm a qualified Healer now, but I still do residency with the Muggle doctors three times a week," Ginny explained.


"I'll start doing rounds with new trainees next week, something the Senior Healer thought would help since there's still some resistance towards doing the Muggle training," she added.
