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 left Harry to see after Sammy while he scouted out a place for them to sleep. They'd decided to not even risk Apparating home, and along with the majority of their friends and the rest of the customers at Obscurus chose to stay the night where they were. It was the safest option for all concerned, though Ron had managed to send in a Floo call to the Auror office to let them know where he was if there was an emergency he was needed for.

He'd just found a rather comfortable area that would be good for him and Harry and whoever else would like to join them, when he saw Dennis Creevey--at least he was almost certain it was Dennis. He hadn't had a chance to re-meet him yet, but he'd seen him around and about anyway--Apparate in, looking cold and lost and scared.

Never one to be able to look away from someone in trouble, Ron made his way over and tried to keep a reassuring smile on his face. "Dennis?" he said softly, using his Auror voice usually reserved for frightened witnesses. "Are you all right? You're looking sort of peaked." And okay, maybe his bedside manner wasn't the best, but he was trying right? "And remember me? It's Ron Weasley. Come on, you look half frozen. There's a fire over this way."

Dennis looked around, Ron Weasley!

"Yeah, I'm fine", okay, that came out more on a wheeze than a breath, so.."okay, not fine, but will be. Asthma, but it will get better now someplace warm."

Dennis followed Ron and dug out his beta blocker and took a dose as he did so. No point in being shy about it at this point. "Thanks. I'll be alright in a bit. Flat was just cold."

He cast a glance back to make sure Nicholas was fine but from what he could see his dog was playing and didn't seem to miss him.

Ron was still a bit skeptical about Dennis' health, but he made himself stop fussing and remember that Dennis was an adult. Very much an adult the back part of his brain provided him, but he pushed the sneaky little voice away and only had to glance over towards Harry to feel his heart expand and remember why that little voice had no hold over him anymore.

He nodded along when Dennis said that his flat had been cold, and he wasn't Molly Weasley's son for nothing. "Well, come with me and we'll get you warm and fed," he said cheerfully, not giving Dennis any other option. "There are thick roast beef sandwiches and hot chocolate or coffee available, free of charge. The Boots, I guess they own the place, have offered up the food and shelter bit, so don't worry about cost or anything."

He took a breathe and it was better, a little, and would be much moreso once he'd gotten warm.

"The Boots? Like Terry Boot from the DA?"

And Dennis had to admit his mouth was watering from the prospect of food, and he told himself that it had nothing to do with a fit Ron Weasley being nice to him. But, Ron wasn't Lee either, so... What had Lee told him?

"Is Harry here? Think Lee told me that you two were.." and he shut up..the nosy Dennis belonged in the past.

Ron nodded at Dennis' question. "Yes, that Terry Boot," he said. "I guess his parents own this place, or something. Pretty sure it's not him who owns it since he works at the Ministry."

He raised his eyebrows when Dennis mentioned Lee, and then smirked. So that's how it was. He made a note to tease Lee about this current development the next time he saw him. He realized that Dennis had asked a question and went on to answer it. "Yes, Harry's here, and yes we're dating. He went to check on our puppy Sammy and find us a place to set down for the night. You're welcome to join us, if you'd like."

He was sure that Harry wouldn't mind the offer, as it was very much impossible for them to do anything too adult rated in a store filled with people and children. He wrapped a companionable arm around Dennis shoulders, though it was a sort of awkward motion with Dennis being so much shorter than he was, and started heading through the crowd towards Harry's direction.

"Oh. He was in Ravenclaw, wasn't he?" Dennis was almost postive about that. "So he probably does something brilliant at the Ministry."

Dennis grinned. "You have a puppy? Me too. Not really a puppy, I guess, he's 9 months old, but I have a dog. Nicholas." Then it hit. "You and Harry? So Lee was right? That's brilliant. Best friends and all." And it was. Yeah, Dennis could acknowledge that Ron was fit, and more...but him and Harry would be cute together.

"That'd be great. Haven't met anyone from Gryff or school cept Lee and Hermione. Had dinner with her one night, that's when she told me we lived in the same building. Oh and ran into Seamus and George too." So he guessed he had met other people but Ron and Harry...they were nice and normal even though they could have been snotty because of how brilliant they were at Quidditch and stuff. That made them even more admirable to Dennis

Ron snickered at the brilliant comment and said, "Mostly I've heard his job involves complete cock ups of spells and turning men into women and women into men." Which, he though, in hindsight really had been ridiculously hilarious. There were still pictures of Williamson being pinned up everyday, even though the man himself had threatened everyone with evisceration if it continued. That hadn't stopped Ron from pinning them up though.

Ron smiled as Dennis babbled on and on, finding it endearing in a little brother sort of way. "Yeah, Sammy's a puppy. Not sure how old he is. Harry gave him to me for my birthday this month," he said with a rather sappy smile. "Hermione's in Paris right now, giving a speech on the international exploitation of house elves or something like that, or else she'd be here tonight as well."

He spotted Harry through the crowd and led Dennis over. "Oi, Harry, look what I picked up," he said as if Dennis were some sort of stray animal.

When Harry and Ron had split up Harry went over to the puppy pen and found Sammy curled up by himself in a corner sleeping. Internally awwing at the puppy Harry saw Wally was nearby and felt better. As he neared Sammy he saw Sammy lift his head and bark excitedly when he saw Harry. Trotting over to him Harry picked Sammy up and was rewarded with a few face licks. "Tired puppy?" Harry asked him softly as he scratched his ears.

Putting Sammy's leash back on his collar Harry decided to keep Sammy with them for a bit and left the puppy pen still holding Sammy. Smiling when he heard Ron's voice he chuckled. "Thought you were supposed to be done picking people up." Harry teased him as Sammy wriggled in his arms upon seeing Ron.

"Dennis right?" Harry asked, pretty sure he was remembering correctly. "This is Sammy." He said introducing the happy puppy.

"Yeah. Hi Harry."

Dennis reached out and scratched Sammy's neck and was rewarded by a getting a wet hand. But that was alright, Dennis liked puppy kisses.

"He's cute. Wonder if him and Nicholas would get along."

Harry seemed just as normal and down to earth as he always had, which in hindsight amazed Dennis. He was even nice, always had been and even Dennis could acknowledge that he and Colin had been overly enthusiastic at times.

"It's good to see you again Harry. And Ron was nice enough to rescue me. Well not really rescue me, but..." and he was stammering, and he'd blame it on being tired and not feeling good and not that he was starting to feel shy again.

Ron grinned as Sammy greeted Dennis, wondering if the puppy would ever find someone he didn't like. "Oh, Sammy gets along with pretty much everyone," he said, though he thought that if Sammy ended up liking Malfoy they were going to have a problem. Luckily, the ferret had been scarce lately, so he hadn't had to deal with him outside mandatory parole meetings.

"Just thought he might like some friendly faces while he was here," Ron told Harry. "And who's friendlier than we are?"

"Sammy hasn't found anyone he doesn't like yet. Person of animal." Harry told Dennis with a smile as Sammy licked his chin again. "He is also the lickiest puppy ever." Harry said with a laugh.

Nodding at Dennis's stammering Harry nodded, "Ron likes playing the hero." Harry told him with a smile making room for Dennis. "I'm sure there is someone." Harry told Ron, "But we can be damn friendly when we want too." He added.

"How've you been Dennis? Other than cold tonight?"

Dennis smiled.

"That's good, then maybe he and Nicholas will like each other."

Dennis shook his head and made an effort to overcome his shyness. "Not bad. I've got a job at the Wireless and all. That's what I did in New York too, right after school. And we live in the same building too, huh?"

Dennis smiled shyly. "Ron said it was okay if I kipped near you, is that okay?"

Ron stuck his tongue out at Harry for the hero comment, though it probably was true. He wrapped his arm around Dennis again in a purely friendly gesture. "Of course it's all right," he reassured Dennis.

He looked at Harry and grinned. "So, did you get us some food while checking on Sammy?" he asked hopefully. "I'm sure Dennis is starving."

"A healer and a week on a beach in Bermuda?" Dennis shook his head. "No, I'll be okay, just it was cold in the flat. Should have left earlier, sudden cold brings it on." Dennis took a breathe and was pretty sure that if it was going to be okay. "Would have thought falling into the lake that first year would have caused one. But didn't"

"Never did figure out why?"

He looked at the two of them, considering something he'd never thought of before.

"D'ya think Healers have potions for asthma that might work better than this?

He'd deal with that after the storm. "Sorry, know I'm being nosy like in school, but what do you do now?"

Harry chuckled softly when Dennis called them a cute couple. His smile grew a bit wider when Ron continued to hold him. He could hear the worry in Ron's voice though when he asked after Dennis.

Harry was worriede too to be honest. "I'm not sure." Harry told him. "Don't know anyone else with asthma. Could probably ask a healer at Saint Mungos though." Feeling bad for Dennis Harry leaned away from Ron and grabbed a blanket he had found, "Come sit with us under the blanket and warm up." Harry told him. "Ron works great as a heater." He added with a wink. "I can share."

"I will, once this lets up, storm I mean." It was pretty, with the snow falling. As long as he could watch it from someplace warm.

"Is it the redhair?" He joked. But he was happy to take the offer, he was tired too. And it was nice, he thought of Harry and Ron to do this.

"Thanks, it's nice. Warmer", he was getting sleepy all of the sudden, for sure the other sandwich would go uneaten. "Like when Colin and I stayed up talking and fell asleep." And that thought should have made him sad, or feel guilty. But somehow Dennis thought Colin would approve.

Ron didn't mind being used as a space heater, not even by someone he'd just met again. He wrapped an arm around Harry and Dennis both, and tried very hard to keep his hand from twitching in the direction of the left over sandwich. His mother would brain him wiht a frying pan if she ever found out he took food from someone without being invited to first. He didn't count Harry in that though, because they shared everything.

He blinked at the mention of Colin, having forgotten--or not wanting to remember--that Dennis' brother was dead. He still felt sick and shaky when he remembered that day, remebered seeing so many of their friends--and Fred--lying dead in the Great Hall. And Colin had been one of them. He tightened his arm around Harry, knowing what his lover must be feeling and summoned a smile.

"Well, we can definitely do that. Not sure how it will be to sleep with so many people here, so we can definitely do the talking bit for awhile," he said.

"Good plan," Harry told Dennis with an encouraging smile. "It might be." Harry said with a chuckle. "He's got a fiery temper at times at least." Harry leaned up slightly to peck Ron's cheek to let him know he was just teasing.

Harry brushed Dennis' hair out of his face when he began to look sleepy. His own smile faltering a bit when Dennis mentioned Colin. Ron's arm tightening around him made him feel a bit better though.

"Will be weird to sleep with so many around." Harry agreed, wondering if he would even be able to get some sleep. "Ron will talk your ear off for hours." Harry told Dennis, "If he gets quiet look up, he probably stole your sandwich."

"So don't get him angry at me?"

That felt nice, reminded him of his Mum, and Colin: playing 'I draw 5 snakes' till they fell asleep.

"Oh, I don't know. Done it before at my house. Not this many people but a lot. Gypsies."

He leaned over and smiled at Ron. "Doya want the other sandwich, I can't eat it?"

Ron had a feeling that it would take quite a lot to get angry at Dennis--Dennis trying to steal Harry away was maybe the only thing he could think of off the top of his head--and ruffled Dennis' hair at the comment.

At Harry's teasing about stealing Dennis' food, Ron slid his hand down and pinched Harry's side gently. "That's enough out of you, Potter," he said, but was grinning. And when Dennis offered the second sandwich to him he couldn't stop the beaming smile that came up.

"Thanks Den!" Ron said, and reached for the sandwich eagerly, taking a large bite. When he was done chewing he looked over at Harry guiltily. "Did you want half?"

"Exactly," Harry told Dennis with a wink. "If he does send me an owl and I'll calm him down for you." It would be very fun to calm Ron down Harry was sure.

Jumping slightly when Ron pinched him Harry pinched him back. "Don't be a prat Weasley." Harry pouted at Dennis, "He pinched me."

Chuckling at Ron's excitement over the sandwich Harry shook his head. "I'm not a bototmless pit like you are." Smiling Harry told Dennis "He eats at least twice as much as me. Sometimes four times as much I'd bet. Especially when cookies are involved."

"Okay."

"You didn't like it?" Dennis loved it when Lee pinched him, when Lee did anything, but it was best not to follow that train of thought he realized.

"Well he's taller than you. Takes more to fill him up probably." Cookies? Dennis grinned, he needed to bake more. "Good, now I know who to give my excess to. I like to bake, but only to smell them, I only eat a couple. Now I can fob them off on Ron."

Ron grinned at Dennis, liking the young man more and more with each sentance out of his mouth. "Yeah, Harry, 'm taller than you," he said and stuck his tongue out playfully before taking another bite of the sandwich.

Perking up at the mention of cookies, Ron quickly swallowed. "Cookies?" he asked hopefully, sounding a lot like Teddy did. "What kind of cookies? I love cookies." He grinned happily. "Yeah, I'll take the left overs. I can't bake, just ask Harry, but I can definitely eat cookies." And after eating a dozen in one setting would have to spend extra time the next day at the Ministry, working off the extra calories in the training room. Which was okay, because he really enjoyed pounding on the Auror trainees.

Laughing softly at the look of confusion on Dennis' face he said, "I just like yelling at him for being a prat." That and their play fighting couldn't really end in shagging like it usually did Harry didn't want to be tempted.

He did have to pout when Dennis agreed with Ron, and poke Ron when he stuck his tongue out at him. He was laughing at Ron when he admitted that Ron couldn't bake. "Ron is allowed to reheat things only. Otherwise things might be destroyed." He told Dennis, "He is fantastic at eating things though. I have to hide my baking for him if its for other people."

"Oh. Is he a prat very often?" Dennis couldn't imagine that but he'd always admired Ron, maybe a litte more, before he found Lee or found that Ron and Harry were together. So he was mindful that he might not be the most objective of observers.

"S'alright." He told Ron. "You can't bake, I can't play Quidditch, or Chess." He shrugged. Everyone had their strengths and weaknesses.

He grinned. "My Mum's like that. We don't let her into the kitchen. Cept to make homemade wine and stuff like that, she's pretty decent at that."

He petted Nicholas as his dog climped into his lap. "Send him cross the hall when he does that. I bake at least a couple times a week and never eat half of it."
