Who: Spencer, Dina, Roger, Serena
Where: Spencer's townhouse
What: BBQ Season has begun!

The weather had been unseasonably warm for the last week and in anticapation (or was it fear that England's gloomy weather would creep back at any moment) of summer, Spencer had decided to have a small Barbeque at his newly minted townhouse.

The house was a change from his usual minmalistic, sleek flats, but after spending too much with Draco and Parvati at their manor, something inside had triggered in Spencer forcing him to make the move a few months back. Yes, changes were abrewing for Spencer Capper. Blue eyes fell on his girlfriend as this thought went through his head but he merely smiled when she raised her eyebrows at him. That would come later.

"Sorry I'm late, guys!" Serena Fawcett chirped as she bustled onto the porch, "I have no excuse: I just run chronically late. I brought wine to compensate though!" She held up two heavy glassed bottles. "Hi." She greeted Roger cutely, nose scrunching.

"No problem. Now I can get a-cookin!" Spencer slapped his hands together in anticipation, flooding the grill with flames from his wand.

"How come there are so many steaks?" Serena asked, staring at the 12 steaks Spencer had seasoned and readied. "I thought it was only us today?"

"Well, you never know when one steak may not be ideal." Spencer noted vaguely. The real reason was that he was so anal that if anything went even slightly off with his steaks: As in, a fly landing on one, or what happened last year (the edge burned 1mm in), then Spencer would consider them unfit to serve to his guests. After every BBQ last year, Dina and Spencer had a weeks worth of leftover steaks to eat. It...had not been pleasant.

"Night time routine?" Roger looked torn between disgust and amusement. "I should hope you listen to her during that," he decided on amusement, bringing into an over gleeful grin. "Or else she'll have to go shopping elsewhere, if you know what I mean," he chortled. "Women be shoppin', women be shoppin'."

Dina looked at Roger indignantly and tried to push a grape into his eye.

"I don't care about the present if you're going to use it as blackmail," the witch turned to her boyfriend, only partially telling the truth.

"What was wrong with the Mint Julep scenario! I wasn't getting in YOUR way," Roger scowled. "You just had to impose Spencer law," he sulked.

Spencer turned his head toward Roger at his allusion and flustered for a moment. "I meant something else, but that does make a good point as well, you can't say I don't listen to you during sex, Dina!" His chest puffed out a little, "I'm very thoughtful, actually."

Serena meanwhile, colored. Unused to such obvious talk, she wasn't sure if she was close enough to Dina and Spencer yet to know all the aspects of their relationship. "Yeah, Roger," She decided to attempt some banter of her own, "Women be shoppin', so you should keep on your toes." Her cheeks broke into a fond smile.

"Oh you don't care?" Spencer asked innocently, "I suppose I'll return it then. Pity, you might have gotten some good use out of it at that gala next month. That'll teach me for buying you gifts just because, I suppose I should just stick to major holidays, then."

"Spencer Law!" Serena laughed, "That's actually pretty funny -" She caught the murderous glint in Spencer's eye and gulped, "Hopefully they don't include beheadings as punishment because you're rather scary looking right now, Spence."

Spencer rolled his eyes and threw his cloth napkin down onto the table. "Well, seeing the both of you waste your time or put yourself in some of harms way does get in my way, Roger. But I think I'll impart some Spencer Law and say this conversation is over. Go to your ice cottage and have lots of fun and influenza."

He stood, wanting very much to storm out and cursing the fact that it was his own house.

Although Dina could talk freely about sex with her friends, she always got embarrassed when talking about sex with Spencer present.

"Gross, you guys are gross," she deflected, continuing to attack Roger with fruit. Serena was going to get a blind boyfriend, at this rate.

Roger's eyes darkened slightly at Serena's bantered, and he suddenly evaded Dina's attacks in order to grab his girlfriend's hand.

"I don't think you'll be shoppin' for a long time," he grinned, turning her so that her back was against his chest. Wrapping her up in his arms, he rested his chin on her head.

"But we wanted to keep talking about it," Roger and Dina pouted. "I guess we have to stop talking about it..." they trailed off, knowing full well that they wouldn't be going to the ice cottage.

Spencer fought an amused smile at Dina's assault on Roger. He savoured the blush on her cheeks. His independent, vibrant girl was such a fluttering schoolgirl sometimes, he loved that about her.

"Eep!" Serena's round eyes grew wider as Roger encompassed her in a tight hug. She was unused to such open affection and squirmed for a moment in his embrace before sinking back into him. Gosh, his arms were so strong. "So you do admit that at some point I'll be shopping? Maybe when all that food starts catching up to you?" She giggled and poked him in the side.

"Ugh." Spencer scowled, "Go ahead and keep talking about! I don't care. I told you, you can both go. Merlin forbid the both of you keep pulling faces like this. Get used to this, Serena-" He warned the new girl, "They both sad face like no one you've ever met."
