The Ministers Daughter

I'm Gunna Need A Drink

"Well I am off to meet Joe" I said walking towards the door

"What?!" cried Rose and Lucy

"Joe who?"  "Why?" "Where?" "What?!" all four girls were looking at me with frenzied confusion, why do girls always do this when you mention boys? I don't? Does that mean I'm abnormal? Who am I kidding I've never been normal...

"Joe Buxton, because he is coming to the sleepover tonight, out side the portrait of the fruit bowl by the Hufflepuff common room" I said waving off their questions "I have to go I'm late do you want anything from the kitchen?" I asked, rose was still looking confused but being the most sensible, when it can to boys, person in the room see said "Just the usual and some fruit" I nodded and shut the door on the girls who immediately started whispering as soon as my back was turned. I rushed through the common room and down many flights of stairs to the Hufflepuff common room. Joe was already outside the room, he looked good in a pair of jeans and a Falmouth Falcons Quidditch top.

"I didn't know you supported the most violent team in Quidditch" I said waving at him as I walk toward the painting

"Well you know what they say "Let us win, but if we cannot win, let us break a few heads.' We may be violent but it produces results" he said puffing out his chest "you may have noticed that we won are last three games" I rolled my eyes and faced the painting tickling the pear "What are you... oh" Joe stared around the kitchen as we stepped into the warm and delicious air.

"This place is amazing" Said Joe as he stared at all the elves

"Miss Jenn what are you doing here?" Lipsy ran up to me her eyes as big as saucers "And who is this? Lipsy does not know this boy?" Joe looked surprised

"Lipsy you make it sound like I bring boys in here all the time" I said

"You do" said Lipsy looking confused "Mr James, Mr Fred and Mr Scorpius?"

"You forgot Michael he will be very upset with you, don't worry I wont tell him" I assured her "and they don't count and neither does Joe really they are just friends!"

"Is there no hope for a kiss after our walk then?" asked Joe winking at me I hit him playfully on the arm

"Didn't take you long to get over Viola, did it" I joked "Anyway Lipsy I can't stay long I have to get some food were having a sleep over, so could we just can the usual and Rose wants some fruit, is that okay?" I asked

"Of course miss Jenn us house elf's can do anything"

"Aw thanks a bunch Lipsy" I said grinning down at her and leading Joe over to one of the tables that wasn't being uses to make next mornings bread rolls

"So if you don't bring your men here then where do you take them?" asked Joe as we sat on the table, I laughed

"My men? Ha, I don't have any men Joe never have" I said

"What never?" asked Joe looking me up and down " don't see why not your not that ugly and all your bits are in the right places" he said grinning

"Well thank god for that!" I said

"I could do a more thorough check if you would like" he said bumping his knee into mine

"Won't be necessary thank you" I said giving him a look you know the look I mean... you don't... oh well you'll get over it...

"So then Jennifer what team do you support?" Joe said suddenly changing the topic

"Oh...er... Chudley Cannons" I said grinning

"What?! The 'Let's all just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best' team?" Joe looked disgusted

"No, they have changed their motto back thank you very much 'We shall conquer' is what they say now" I said defending my team
