Ben looked around the pub, pleased at the turnout tonight. It was a good mix of age and gender, people here likely to see the Raging Hippogriffs. The band was popular across all demographics, which explained the range of people present. Plus, there was the regular Friday night crowd, which wasn't insubstantial. Ben wasn't complaining though, the extra bodies meant he and Dom were kept busy, and there was little time to think about anything else.
He'd had a short panic attack earlier, when the band's manager had dropped by to set up the equipment. Mostly because they wanted to use the piano, which made sense but also made Ben feel overprotective and jealous. Which was completely irrational and which he blamed entirely on too little sleep and too much time spent worrying over James and Dylan. He'd made himself smile pleasantly, but after the woman had left he'd cast a couple of protection charms on the piano, so it wouldn't get scratched.
Currently it was about an hour and a half until the band was scheduled to arrive, and the bar itself was busier than normal because of the drink special. Ben loved it though, and shared a smile with Dom as he passed her to head to the other end of the bar.
