Heathcliff/If someone else wants to wander past idk idk >>
Her face was in her hand as she laughed. Croissant-wrapped pickles had been quite delicious, if not a terribly messy endeavor, but reenacting the actual making of them was nearly too hysterical to discuss.

"Okay---okay, enough about the pickle drenched croissants," she let out, slightly short of breath as they moved down the lunch line. Bianca was glad for Heathcliff; he was a friend around the ministry that she'd been completely lacking. The boys in the hitwizard department were all lost in their own depressing little worlds, and while she had once had her own bubble of angst, she'd managed to burst out if it these past few months. It didn't mean she was suddenly Miss. Popular around the offices of the Ministry, but she was glad to have someone to have lunch with and not have to go home and rummage around her usually empty fridge.

Well...she'd had a boyfriend to go on lunch dates with up until recently, so it was nice to once again have something to do.

And he was nice! And smart, Heathcliff was really smart. Rather respected around the offices, too, so it wasn't as if she was just clinging to the first bloke/person who showed her some attention. Some part of her was slightly uneasy about spending time with a man who was not Bertram, therefore not the father of her unborn child, but a much bigger part told her that they were both adults and could have an adult relationship without any consequence. They absolutely could!

Bianca stared up at the ever changing menu, "All right, your pick." She hoped he managed to spot something that was both sugary and salty.

Truthfully, Bertram had been hoping to weather the storm past the Death Eater debaucle that his family had thrown him into. Sure, they'd never actively pursued him, but his mother had constantly been worried, and he really had needed to take care of his daughter for a little while and ... okay, growing up was also hard and kind of lame, so there was that.

Bertram was about to mention something about how this didn't really qualify as a lunch meeting unless they were going to talk about boring work things, but he didn't want to give Heathcliff a good reason to try and dismiss him from their lunch, so he bit his tongue.

"Right now it's mostly grunt work," he admitted with a shrug, "Making sure that all the pitches are up to standards before Quidditch games, that sort of thing." He wasn't sure how he felt about some strange bloke's hand on Bianca's shoulder, but she didn't seem to notice ... so maybe he was just some kind of creepy over-toucher. Betram slid down into a chair calmly as he could manage and tried not to jerk at the collar of his robes.

Too tight.

As fun as this little adventure was, Heathcliff could read the awkwardness on Bianca's face. He didn't imagine this was easy for her, being stuck here and it showed how nice and classy she was that Heath wasn't being asked to leave. It didn't really make him like Bertram much given that he was butting in on someone else's lunch, just an innocent one really, but that didn't mean he had to be rude and invite himself. Oh well. As they were sitting down, Heath set the tray on the table and grabbed a couple of the quarter sandwiches in a serviette and one of the orders of crisps, not making a move to sit down.

"I just remembered I have some more work to do on a motion, it's tough on the schedule sometimes, putting the bad guys away for good," Heathcliff flashed a meaningful look to Bertram but then turned to Bianca, leaning in and giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for the croissants last night, hopefully we can do this again, maybe somewhere out. I'll see you around," Heath said, not really expecting her to take him up on the offer, but if he could get one last kick in, well, that was only icing at this point. Heath didn't mind losing here, Bianca was in charge of her own life, but he was going to bow out gracefully at least and not make a big deal about it for her. Heath flashed her a smile before heading back up to his office.
