Chapter 46 - Harry's Outing

While sipping on his morning coffee in a mundane cafe, Harry was reading the local newspaper. He had a hard time keeping his laughter in as it covered Umbridge death. While it was a bit bad that the mundane got to her before Aurors. Luckily, it was a squib with a grudge against her and reported it as a wolf attack.

Now besides a small rumor of her house just appearing, a group of hunters were patrolling the forest. All looking for the pack of wolves that killed the unknown woman with no records about herself.

'Was it necessary to tell about her unhealthy obsession with pink,' Harry thought with a shiver. 'And cats?'

"It's such a shame to be killed by a pack of wolves." Harry heard as he sat down on his paper.

Across from him was a relatively young brown hair woman in her early twenties. Her violet eyes held a bit of sadness as she read another copy of the newspaper. As she sat the paper down he could see her beautifully shaped curvy frame.

"I wouldn't be sad for her. She was cruel and sadistic with no problem harming school children if it fit her agenda."

"Oh, did you know her?" The woman asked.

"Sadly, like many others. I had the misfortune of knowing her." Harry sighed as he remembered being tortured by her and having to track her down for a horcrux.

"I'm sure she wasn't that bad." The woman said.

""She was worse actually but let's not get into that. Now let's talk about something more pleasant. Who are you?"

"Ah, sorry. I am Venelana Lovegood."

"Lovegood? Are you related to Luna Lovegood?"

Venelana paused for a moment and looked him up and down before landing on a very faded scar on his forehead. Her eyes widened before a crimson blush formed on her cheeks.

"I can't believe I was going to seduce a twelve year old." She mumbled to herself that Harry only caught due to his sensitive hearing.

"She is a second cousin or was it third. Anyways she is a cousin of mine." Venelana coughed once before smiling at him innocently.

'That interesting as I don't remember Luna having a cousin Venelana. Then again she didn't talk much about her family much less seconds or third cousins.' Harry thought but put it to the side for now.

"Well, since your last name is Lovegood. Do you make good love?" Harry had to forcefully stop himself from cringing.

It was a good thing neither Fleur or Daphne were here or they would never let him live that pick up line down. Since he was immortal that would be a very long time.

"Was it worth the cringe?" Venelana asked, cringing herself.

"I don't know, did it work?"

Venelana giggled before scanning the shop. "Yeah, I don't really see much prey here besides you. Though I am going to pretend you're older than you are."

'I'm a fifty year old time traveler. I don't care if you pretend I am older.' Harry thought as he smiled at her. However a small thought entered his head on why she was fine sleeping with someone so young even if they looked barely legal.

While Harry was wondering if there was something wrong with the woman. She on the other hand was in full panic wondering Auror or Muggle Police were going to hunt her down. Why in the world did she agree to sleep with him much less say there were no other prey around. She didn't know why but she just drawn him almost like a spell was cast on her.

'Don't panic now Venelana. Maybe we will finally lose our virginity after all these years.' Venelana thought as she cheered herself on.

If it wasn't for the strange attraction to Harry, Venelana would have never considered sitting at his table much less talking to him. The truth was she had borderline crippling shyness and was often afraid or quiet making men lose interest very quickly. So to avoid embarrassing or being looked at, she usually just holes up researching magic by herself at home.

"Feel free to think whatever you want." Harry said as he folded his paper up.

Standing up, Harry frowned slightly as his sensitive nose could smell her nervousness. While he thought why, he wasn't able to come up with anything as to why. She seemed natural like she has done this a couple times before. Well finding a date and not sleeping with a random man on the street.

'Your lucky that you look hot,' Harry thought before mentally bashing himself. 'Stop it Harry. You don't need to sleep with every single beautiful woman.'

"I believe there is a mall nearby. I need to pick up some books. Do you want to join." Harry asked, holding out his hands.

"Going to a muggles mall. I have never been to one so sure." Venelana smiled as she grabbed his hand.

Once their fingers touched she felt his warmth and a tingling feeling well up inside of her. After leaving the cafe Harry led her over to the mall or more importantly the book store. There he grabbed the latest volumes of Dragonball.

"What are you grabbing?" Venelana asked, a bit curious.

"Manga." Harry shrugged. "Basically japanese version of american comics.Do you want to get one or a different book?"

Nodding as her curious side was spiked, Venelana looked over the current selection. While there were less than there were in the future and many titles that have yet to be created. There were still some classics in Harry's opinion.

"I will try this one." Venelana said, holding Ranma 1/2. "It looks interesting."

Studying the series name for a moment, Harry vaguely recalled the series. It is about a boy while training with his father who both fell into a magical pool of water. While his father would turn into a panda when water was poured on him, Ranma would turn into a girl. That happens a bit before the series began where Ranma finds himself in a marriage contract.

While he did watch a bit of it, Harry himself couldn't really get into it So in the end he dropped the series, but Fleur found it funny and liked it.

'Maybe I should send a copy to Fleur.' Harry thought for a moment before grabbing a copy. 'To bad Daphne's series won't be made for another twenty years.'

After paying for the books and receiving a weird look from the cashier for buying two copies of the same series. He left as the manager began lightly scolding the cashier who was apparently new.

"What next?"

When Venelana asked, Harry thought for a moment and remembered he needed some clothes. Most of his clothes are getting worn out from his monthly transformation throughout the school year.

"Clothes." Harry shrugged before heading towards a cheaper shop.

After all it would be pointless to spend big on clothes that may become unusable after his transformation. Venelana who was following looked at him strangely as she knew that the Potter's were well off. But stayed quiet on why he was looking through cheaply made clothes. Everyone had their secret

Grabbing a few pairs of pants and shorts with plain colored shirts. Harry ended the shopping trip with Venelana who was a lot more comfortable around him. Which was the main goal for the outing.

'Soon we will feast on those delicious jugs.' Harry thought before mentally bashing himself again. 'I need to keep my ego in check.'

Not far behind him Venelana was blushing as she had thoughts along the same line.
