He was offering lunch already? January smiled. He seemed like a good man and he was friends with William, so... that was good. Despite their argument. They were just doing what friends do. "I would like that," she replied. "Next week works perfectly." All she had was work, but she definitely had time for lunch.

Enticing, too? "Merlin's beard, you're going to embarrass me." January looked away from Oliver with a flustered expression for a moment before smiling back at him. Resting her elbow on the table, January rested her chin on her hand and shook her head. "You are too charming for your own good." And that is all she had to say about that. For now.

Ah, Hampshire. Nice place to live. She'd like to move south someday, maybe near the water. Wide, open spaces and lots of room to breathe... Anyway, "Wow, Africa." And getting eaten by a lion. "Thrilling," she added with a laugh. "Does he work, or is that just for fun?" If she had the means, she would probably travel around, too.

And back to William. January smiled again. "Oh, we bumped into each other a few weeks ago. We actually went to school together, but... we didn't talk." Probably because her nose was stuck in books all the time and William was... Well, he was different than the friends January used to have. He was probably popular and she was definitely not. "Did you go to Hogwarts as well?" she asked, not remembering if it had been brought up when they first met.

"Well you could, but I don't think you're the violent type." That would be one sure way of getting him to stop calling her names. She could also just ask him not to and he would but she didn't so..."I think you secretly want me to call you Fair Maiden. He chuckled softly, if that's what she wanted then he would be more than happy to oblige. He was good like that.

And thank Merlin, she was agreeing to his invitation. He had actually been holding his breath waiting for her answer. For a second there he had been worried that maybe it was too soon to ask her out. Oliver grinned again. Goodness, he was certainly doing a lot of grinning around this woman. "Great! Is there anything in particular you like? Or anything you really dislike?" He would hate to pick a place to eat and she hated the food or was allergic to it or something. That had happened to him before and it had certainly put a downer on the date.

Well he didn't want to embarrass her. Oh maybe just a little, just enough to see that pretty blush on her cheeks again. "Okay, okay I'll stop." For now anyway. January's comment caused him to laugh. "I did warn you. Charming is my middle name." He laughed again and tossed her a wink to let her know that he was kidding around. "I think I get it from my father."

She wouldn't think it was very thrilling if she ever met his brother. She would see that he was just plain dumb. "No he's not working at the moment. He actually used to run the joke shop in Diagon Alley a few years ago, but then he decided he wanted to be a Chef." And that hadn't lasted long either seeing how good ole Fred could not even boil water. "So he's in Africa for fun but Merlin only knows what he will come back as." If he comes back that is.

Oh that's right. William had most certainly rattled him with his previous yelling. Oliver had forgotten that his friend had in fact told him that earlier. "Yes I did. That's where I met Will. We've been friends ever since." He hoped that they were still friends after tonight. "You must have been a year or two below us?" Or maybe three or four. She did look a few years younger than him.

"So Hogwarts huh?" He paused for a moment while he considered something. "Ravenclaw I bet."
