He glances at the boxy too-uniform numbers flashing on the face of Richard’s radio. It’s nearly noon, and he should be getting ready to leave; but there is still a harsh tension in his shoulders and neck that he wants to work out before Hermione finds him.
It is, after all, Tuesday; and while his Tuesdays were designated ‘tea with Helen’ days previously, they are now ‘lunch with Granger’ days, ever since the chance meet-up with the Weasel’s wife and the insufferable swot herself.
Cute and obviously well written - one of the best writing styles I’ve seen and not just for fan fics. The only thing was that the Blaise set up as such an extreme random villain was out of place and abrupt. The interlude digressed too much and didn’t add value. Some hmm parts and things could have been more focused. Also the main plot driver of the engagement gets too weak as it drags on and side characters better developed but otherwise nice read and again well written.
