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 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."

"I'm sure they will." Harry told Dennis. "You could go bring Nicholas over here if you'd like. I'm fine with you kipping here"

He was not jealous that Ron had his arm around Dennis. He wasn't. Okay maybe a little. But that was his arm.

Instead of commenting Harry shook his head, "No I got us Sammy. And I wasn't hungry." Winking at Dennis Harry said, "Ron is a bottomless pit."

Dennis smiled. "Really? That's brilliant."

He laughed at Harry's comment. "No worries, I can get some. And Nicholas. Does anyone want food besides me, never mind. I'll just bring a extra sandwich. If no one eats now, I can later."

He made his way to the food and grabbed 2 sandwiches and a butterbeer, and couple of eclairs. Then he went and got Nicholas from the puppy pen. Making his way back to Harry and Ron, he introduced them.

"This is Nicholas. Nicholas that's Sammy, and his owners, Harry and Ron."

As Dennis went off to get food, Ron watched him go fondly. He wasn't quite sure why, but something about Dennis just threw off that little brother vibe that always made Ron feel protective. He felt the same around Ginny, though to a lesser extent, and Teddy as well.

"He's a good kid," Ron said as if he'd known Dennis for ages. Then he decided, that since there would be little time for this later, to pull Harry to him for a quick, but intense, snogging session. He'd just let Harry go again when Dennis came back.

Ron looked longingly at the food, but Dennis hadn't offered him any and he wasn't rude, no matter what Charlie would tell you. Instead, he scratched behind Nicholas' ears and snickered as Sammy looked at the newcomer with interest, tail already wagging at the prospect of a new friend.

Smiling as Dennis walked away Harry agreed with Ron before gasping, surprised when Ron pulled him close and snogged him. When Ron let him go Harry was breathing hard, blushing, and smiling. Deciding to stay leaning against Ron Harry chuckled as Sammy only resisted for a moment before heading over to sniff Nicholas.

Deciding he liked Nicholas Sammy barked and licked his face. Harry chuckled, "See Sammy loves him already." Harry told Dennis. "I'm kinda curious to see what Sammy will do when he doesn't like someone."

Dennis smiled "You make a cute couple" and blushed when he considered that maybe he shouldn't have said that.

"I bought an extra sandwich if someone wants it, I'm pretty sure I can only eat one."

Nicholas cocked his head and looked at Dennis before sniffing at Sammy and then wagging his tail. "Guess it's mutual. Good thing since their neighbors." and that last 's' came out on a wheeze. Damn it! One more hit with the inhaler then.

Once that was done, he smiled apologetically. "Sorry, but I have asthma, was on the tail end of an attack when Ron found me."

Ron grinned at Dennis and didn't let Harry go. He was sure Harry didn't mind. "We're adorable," Ron agreed. "But it's good to know someone else thinks so too."

Ron had never seen anyone in the midst of an asthma attack before, and he was sure that he never wanted to see one full on either. He felt helpless enough as it was. "You okay there Dennis?" he asked. "Do you need anything?"
