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.

Dean would never admit it, not even to Seamus or his mother, but he always felt a small piece of himself die when he'd finished a piece of art, even something as simple as a sketch. It was as if the art took up residence in his heart and when it was done and gone left a hole behind to be filled by the next painting or sketch or once in awhile a sculpture. The hole was also filled when the subject of the art liked what he'd created, and that was something he wouldn't tell anyone either. It sounded a little too pansy even for someone who liked to get shagged by men once in awhile.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts--something that happened to him a lot when he got lost in thoughts of his art--and just raised an eyebrow at Seamus' mine comment. "I'll let Lavender deal with your over possessiveness," he teased, and didn't bother to hide his grin at Seamus' protests over the growth. "What?" he asked innocently. "I don't notice anything differently. Do you Lav?" He winked at Harry so he wouldn't feel left out, and waited to see what Lavender would come up with.

Lavender frowned and snatched the drawing from Seamus, despite her dislike of being one of Dean's subjects, even she had to admit the drawing was nice - the way Seamus held her close and the way she was sort of tucked against him. "He was talking about me, you prat." Lavender protested when Seamus suggested that he was the Beauty.

She was flooded with a warm happy feeling when Seamus held her closer and made sure they all knew she was his.

Grinning when Dean teased Seamus about the growth on his face, Lavender glanced at the sketch again and up at Seamus. "Hmm... no nothing looks amiss to me, it's a very good likeness of him, Dean."

"Damn right you're the beauty, Lav," Dean agreed, taking the sketch back and tucking it inside his book. He was always pleased when people liked their likenesses, even if he wasn't strictly a portrait artist. The only time he really did them was when he was sketching.

"You can have that back after I've cleaned it up and matted it," he promised. His agent would have a fit. Leon hated when Dean gave away anything he did, even spur of the moment sketches. Dean always told him to shove it, and he'd give his family and friends whatever the fuck he wanted and Leon would have to live with it.

"So, Potter, Shameless tells me you've shacked up with Weasley," Dean said, turning to include Harry in their conversation again. He had to admit that the thought of Ron and Harry shagging presented pretty pictures in his head, reds and greens and god-awful orange mixing together in a way that should represent chaos but actually danced around in harmony. He took a mental picture and shoved the thought aside for another time.

"What's that like?" He was honestly interested. He couldn't imagine ever shagging Seamus, the other man was too much like a brother, but the fact that Harry and Ron had gotten past the best mates slash brothers aspect of their relationship enough to shag was very interesting.

Harry chuckled at his friends antics when Dean finished the sketch. Looking at it he added, "Seamus you know Lavender is the Beauty and you're the prat." He winked at Dean before adding, "I dunno I think it looks smaller in the sketch to be honest."

Grinning when Dean brought up Ron Harry nodded. "Brillant. Apparently almost everyone saw it but us." He chuckled, "We even have a puppy and I think Neville finds us almost sickeningly together but he's just as bad with Charlie so he has no room to complain."

Neville was just finishing the remains of one of sandwichs he'd gotten when he joined the group, and almost choked on it as he heard Harry's comment.

"Pardon me? Who does Tequila shots? In Public? Not Charlie and me."

And as no one knew he'd even tasted Tequila, Neville figured he was safe from any comebacks.

"Dean, it's great to see you mate. Finally. You too, Shay. But I still don't know how you got Lavender to go out with you, much less stick with you."

"Anyone want the second sandwich? I can't eat it."

Ron arrived among the group of ex-Gryffindors just in time to steal Neville's second sandwich. '

"'Fanks Nev," he mumbled around his first bite. Once he'd swallowed he grinned. "This is good. We should come here more often if the food is always this good."

He realized he'd been rude so far, and as he wrapped his arm around Harry much in the same way Seamus was standing with Lavender he grinned. "'Lo Shamless, Deanie Beanie, Lav," he said, nodding to them all in turn. "It's a regular reunion tonight."

Lavender shook her head when Ron stole Neville's second sandwich before anyone else had an opportunity to have it - though from what she remembered about Ron he was very fond of food. It was a little strange to see him so close with Harry now, after their shared past - but everyone changes, she reminded herself.

"Ron." She said giving him a small smile, glad Seamus was still holding her close now that their little group had suddenly gotten so large.

"Had the day off and came round to get a new book or two, when I ran into these two." She said affectionately indicating Seamus and Dean. "Not sure I would have come if I'd known there was going to be a house reunion, though." She teased, mostly - she still wasn't entirely happy with crowds even crowds of old friends.

Seamus had pouted for a few moments after his friends made fun of him, but he remained silent, watching everyone and amused by what they were saying. He raised an eyebrow at Dean when he asked Harry about his and Ron's relationship; he had a feeling he knew the line of direction his thought processes were going.

As the group steadily got bigger, Seamus felt Lavender tense up slightly against him. He brushed his thumb against her stomach, hoping she'd realize it was his way of putting her at ease without actually saying anything. He also bent his head down slightly and kissed the top of her head.

He looked over at Ron, giving him a fake scowl.

"You're not allowed to call him Deanie Beanie. Only I can," he told Ron playfully, even though there was a bit of a protective edge in his voice. He wasn't really all that serious, except that he kind of was.
