Summary: First night of weekday happy hour, as recently advertised
Completion: InComplete

After chasing a goat out of the pub using a broomstick and a few choice words, Harry made his way through the Hog's Head pub and back to where he felt most comfortable; behind the bar. Not only was there a physical barrier between himself and the patrons, but he also had a good view of the entire pub. His back wasn't towards anyone and with his wand always stowed along the inside of his left forearm in a holder(a birthday gift from several years ago), he felt as safe as he was going to in a crowd of people.

The first weekday Happy Hour was about to commence. He'd been advertising it in a few places for the past couple weeks, and was hoping for a good turn out. Happy Hour was generally a Muggle tradition, but who said borrowing an idea was a bad thing? Business was generally booming on the weekend and even on nights when Quidditch teams practised. It was usually earlier on the weekdays, when some people were still at work or at practice(I.E the first few hours the pub was open) when there was a lull in activity. With the new specials(2-for-1 drinks until 9pm), Harry hoped that more people would come in earlier, and stay later.

Part of his reasoning was that while he did tend to be paranoid, he also enjoyed the company that the wide variety of characters dropping in provided. He liked his privacy, but being around people also kept him from being trapped within his own mind every hour of every day. It allowed him to keep some of his sanity in tact; hearing people's stories, bits and pieces of what was going on in the 'outside world' as he reffered to it(in his own head, at least). He didn't tend to step into the public's eye very often; it had even been a while since he'd attended a charity event. They'd trickled off in the past few years.

The door unlocked and the lights on, Harry went about washing and drying off a few random glasses as he waited for the first patrons to begin wandering in.

Today, Luna had been disproved.

Previously she was under the impression that no amount of coersion would let St. Mungo’s staff members relent, that no amount of begging, pleading, and offers of free treats to their pets would allow any of them to even twitch their serious faces. But today, it seemed it was her lucky day. Or perhaps she was actually recovering. But most likely it was because Healer Jones must have been driven to his very last nerves by her incessant trouble.

(Luna was rather inclined to believe that it was the first or second of the three).

Nevertheless, she was free in all senses of the word, and promptly left the hospital, after promising to take her medicine daily and come back for checkups. She was, unfortunately, still denied access to Penelope’s ward and the need for fresh air gripped her so she floo’d her way to Hogsmeade, to perhaps check out the scene of the crime. Another stroke of misfortune landed, when she found herself not landing gracefully at the Clearwater Clinic’s fireplace but in fact tumbling disoriented out of the Hog’s Head’s fireplace. She looked up quickly, dusting herself off and taking in her surroundings, before noticing a familiar tuft of dark brown hair and a glint of green eyes.

”Harry?”

Harry must have jumped about three feet when a human mass(and a lot of ash/Floo powder) came tumbling out of the fireplace. His wand was pointed at the moving mass before he could think twice, but a sigh of relief escaped his lips as he recognized the long blonde hair.

"Bloody Hell Luna, you about gave me a heart attack!" He exclaimed, running a hand through his pure black hair. He allowed a shaky laugh before sliding his wand back into its holder, casting her a stern look before it relaxed into one of relief, almost amusement. He could never hold anything against her; not Luna. "Most patrons use the door, y'know."

	"I know I should have made this trip a bit sooner mate. But they got me pretty busy in the office," he frowned for a moment, before smiling again. "But forget that! It'll still be there tomorrow." With a grin, he took a healthy drink. "So how's business and everything these days?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'd reckon 'a bit' is -a bit- of an understatement, mate." Harry scolded teasingly, shrugging as he gestured down the bar's length. "Doing pretty well, I expect this happy hour thing will do all right if tonight's any indicator. How've you been doing?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
