" And I break down, then he's pullin' me in. In a world of boys, he's a gentleman. "
"I've heard that you have a new boyfriend." Molly winked at Keira as they sat at the Burrow's kitchen table having a tea.
"What, how do you know?" Keira asked, confused as to how she knew. That was until Josie started giggling into her jug as she sat next to Molly, "Josie I can't believe you!" Keira gasped.
"What did Josie do?" Lily asked as she walked into the kitchen, Marlene, Mary, and Remus following.
"Tell me that Keira has a boyfriend." Molly smiled as Lily took a seat next to Keira, smiling at her.
"No way!" She smiled at Keira, excited for her.
"C'mon, tell us about him, then." Marlene grinned, leaning forward in her seat.
"His name is Bradley, he's from New York, but works as an auror trainer at the Ministry. Umm... we've been dating since Christmas-" Keira listed.
"Hold on, you've been dating him for two months and we're only now finding out?" Mary gasped.
Keira sat there awkwardly, "Sorry."
"That's why we've barely seen you, you've been too busy running around with that guy," Remus said, Marlene crossed her arms, tutting, jokingly.
"We have to meet him." Molly said, "Make sure he's good enough."
"Oh Merlin, please don't threaten him." Keira put her head in her hand.
"If I have to I will." Marlene shrugged, the table laughing.
. . .
After some planning by Lily and Marlene, Keira and Bradley were going to Lily's flat for a dinner party - the first one Keira has actually gone to. Keira was unsure about this because James would be there and she worried that Bradley would find it awkward hanging out with her ex, but he assured her he was fine.
"You know we can always back out of it." Keira spoke to Bradley through her dressing table's mirror as she out her earrings on.
He shook his head as he walked over to her, "Keira I'm fine, it's just dinner with your friends." He put his hand on her shoulder.
She nodded, smiling up at him, "Yeah." She said quietly before getting up and putting on her brown leather jacket.
"Come on, let's go." He smiled as he took her hand in his, intertwining their fingers until Keira cast the apparition spell, taking them from Keira's flat to the alleyway just next to the newlywed's flat building.
Keira guided him into the lift and down the hallway of the fifth floor, taking them both to number 27. Just before knocking, Keira's had went from being clasped around Brad's to being on his cheek, giving him a kiss which he gladly reciprocated.
"Ah you're here, they're here!" Lily opened the door with a big smile, calling to everyone else in the apartment.
"Hey Lily." Keira smiled as her and Brad were ushered into the flat by the red-head, all her friends stood around the front door, excited to meet Bradley.
"Hi, I'm Bradley." He smiled, shaking Lily's hand, just after, everyone else went to greet him as Keira gave Lily the bottle of white wine she brought.
Keira watched as James and Bradley greeted each other. Brad's face never changed from the smile he held for all her other friends, to anyone else, it would look like the two greeted each other kindly, but to James, he had reservations for Bradley. There was no reason Bradley gave for him to feel that way, but after Jett, James was unsure about the people outside of his friendship group that Keira chose to spend her time with. Never again did he want to find Keira in that state again.
