Summary: Just another day at Obscurus Books, until the storm hits and traps people inside.

Gareth looked around the bookshop with pride. Children were sitting enthralled by Marigold and her husband as they performed flashy magic tricks. Logan was hosting a small cooking class, teaching everyone from housewives to retired Unspeakables (though Gareth though it was highly unlikely that there were actually such a thing as retired Unspeakables) how to bake enchiladas. His Maddie was graciously signing copies of her latest best-seller Emerald Isle, and open mike poetry night would start in a half hour, followed by a rousing karaoke contest. All in all, Thursday was shaping up to be a wonderful, and profitable, night for Obscurus Books.

Ron pouted when Harry stole another eclair, and quickly moved the rest of the plate away from his grabby-handed boyfriend. "Those're mine," he protested weakly, knowing that if Harry really wanted another eclair he wouldn't stop him, and knowing that Harry knew that too.

He was very glad his mother wasn't there though, or she might have tried to get him to eat some of that fruit he'd spied on display. He shuddered at the thought, and turned to Neville. "What they don't know won't hurt us," he said as he had many times before.

"So, Nev, have you been keeping busy? Mum said she was going to owl you about helping her put in a new garden out back at the Burrow." He was pretty sure that was Molly Weasley's thinly veiled attempt at interrogating Neville, but he wasn't going to tell Neville that. Some things were best left unsaid.

Neville chuckled at Ron, it wasn't like the kitchen would run out of eclairs soon he thought. But trust Ron to be possessive with food.

"Mmmhmmm, words to live by. I won't tell if you don't." Gran was great, he thought, but still Gran. As good as their relationship was now, he still didn't want to hear her opinions on eating pizza for breakfast, or desert before dinner.

"Yeah, well aside from dropping a client. But I have a new one now, so that's good. And he's building new cottage so I get to plan the landscaping from the ground up." He snickered. "Pun not intended."

"Oh? I haven't gotten an Owl yet, but I'll be glad to help." Mrs Weasley was nice, he thought, and even if she hadn't been she was still Charlie' Mum.

"Yours? You brought six. I figured two each." Harry told Ron innocently. So amusing how possessive Ron could be with food. "You two are both horrible eaters." Harry told him.

"Get rid of grabby hands?" Harry asked with a chuckle. "Thought maybe she was growing on you.

Harry had to bite the inside of his cheek when Ron commented about Molly. Poor Neville was so going to get interrogated if he di her garden. Better Molly talk to Nevile about his relationship than Molly talk to him about his and Ron's. "Just expect to leave well fed." Harry warned him.

Ron sighed, but conceded defeat. It wasn't as if he couldn't go get more eclairs later. But, he thought he'd try the pity card just once more, to save the final eclairs for himself. "It's just this is the first real food I've had in a week, so I wanted to enjoy myself," he said, giving Harry his most pitiful puppy dog eyes. Though even he would admit that they weren't nearly as effective as Sammy or Harry's were.

"Mum does live to keep everyone around her well fed," Ron said, making a note to head over to the Burrow for dinner on Sunday. He'd missed his mum's cooking almost as much as he'd missed Harry and Sammy. "So arrive hungry."

"Two each. Oh, good." And he grabbed a second eclair. And, like those eyes were going to keep him from more chocolate. Maybe Harry was that gullible, but c'mon, Nev thought.

"So does a fungus." And he winced, that wasn't nice at all. "No, really, she kept changing her mind. I'd be working on that garden till I was 100."

"Okay, it'd be nice to have someone cook for me for a change. Though Charlie said he would too." Best not to go down that route, and he tried to get his mind back off of Charlie.

Harry just laughed at Ron's puppy eyes. "And the baked chicken, potatoes, and carrots I made earlier weren't real food? Even went out and bought fresh bread to go with the dinner." Ron really could be a prat sometimes.

"Poor Neville." Harry said with a chuckle, "I hope your new client is better." Harry told him.

"She's going to decide you need fattening up. She never feels I eat enough." Harry warned him before pausing. "Charlie said he'd cook? Charlie can't cook. He can make cheese toasties, and toast. Reheating things sure. Actually cooking no." Unless Charlie had been planning on asking him too. Oh well cat was out of the bag.
