Part 3
The doorbell rang and she went to the door and opened it.
" Hi, can I come in?"
"Hi Andy, of course. Did something happen? You look so tired!"
"Honestly, Dora has the flu."
"Oh my god, is she so bad?"
"No, but she has to stay at home and I have to take care of her. I called Harry to tell him that I can't go there tonight, but he didn't answer his phone, so I called you to let you know, but your phone was busy, so I came here."
"Oh, I was talking to Ron."
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I disturb your phone?"
"No, it's over." She said sadly.
"What is over, your relationship?!' Andy said in surprise.
"No, no, not yet, I meant the phone." She said hurriedly with a fake smile.
"Yet ? We have to talk about this, don't we?"
" Yes, but please not tonight."
" Okay, so tell Harry I'm so sorry for ruining his party."
"Ok, I think I should apologize on behalf of our pair because Rigel is not feeling well and I don't think we will go there tonight."
"Oh buddy , if she's in a bad mood, you should go eat pizza with her, you know how it works."
"Yes, I will probably do the same, I didn't remember this, thanks for the advice Andy." She said with a smile.
"Whenever, I will come back home, bye."
" bye."
Hermione closed the door and was distracted by the sound of footsteps.
"who was it?" Rigel asked sleepily.
"Andy, she wanted to say that she will not go to Harry's party tonight.
"Oh, why?"
"Dora has the flu."
"Oh damn, is she okay and are we going to a party?"
"She's not too bad and no, we'll go out but not to Harry's party so go get ready and I'll call Harry and tell him."
"Ok" She said and then went to her room.
Hermione picked up her phone and called Harry. After three beeps he picked up the phone.
" Hello Harry."
"Hello Hermione, what's up? Ron said you can't come tonight."
"Yes, I'm sorry, Rigel isn't feeling well and I thought it would be nice if I took her out tonight to have some fun."
"Don't be, I understand, we can always see each other."
"Thanks and Harry I have to say something about Andy, apparently she called you but you didn't answer. Dora has the flu and she has to take care of her so she can't come tonight and she's sorry."
"Oh boy, this is very bad, but it's okay, I know Dora will get over her illness. So I lost a few guests tonight."
"Yes, unfortunately."
"That's good, we can see each other later. Have fun with Rigel."
"Yes, we can. I do, Bye."
"Bye."
She went to her room to get ready. She wore a pair of black jeans and a black tank top with a Lee's jacket over it, then completed her outfit with a pair of black boots. She went to the table and applied some makeup and mascara. Finally, she left the room.
"Rigel, where are you?"
"Downstairs."
She went to the stairs and said" Ok, we can go."
Rigel looked at her and raised her eyebrows.
" Are we going to the bar? " she said with a grin.
"And when did you find the age to go there?
No, we are going to eat."
Rigel laughed and said" It makes sense. I think it's just weird not seeing you in casual clothes."
"Come on sweetheart, let's go."
Hermione took the car keys and closed the door. They went to the car.

30 minutes later they arrived at the restaurant and entered.
Hermione walked over to a table at the back of the restaurant where it was quieter and they sat down.
"So look at the menu and see what you want?"
"You know, I always eat pepperoni pizza."
"Yeah, and you'll never change it. With a Coca-Cola, ha?"
"Yes."
"Ok, while I order, go wash your hands."
She said and waited for the waiter to order.
When Rigel came back, she said: I'm going to wash my hands. And Rigel shook her head.
She went to the bathroom and because the space was very dark, her head was down so that he didn't fall down when she hit someone hard. Hermione raised her head to apologize and her eyes were locked in two onyx eyes.
"Oh Pet, it looks like you're following me but you're not even paying attention to what's in front of you." Bellatrix said with an amused grin.
