Ron had been up into the Roost for a lot of things since Seamus had opened Finnigan's, but he still preferred it the way it was when it was set up for Chess Club, whether it was with a floor-sized board or with tables for several games to be played at once.

Tonight, people drifted away after their matches until it was only Ron and Seamus left. For his part, Ron always liked to stay until the end of the meeting, feeling like it was his responsibility since he ran the club. As for Seamus, Ron sometimes wondered how many hours a day the man spent outside of this building.

"Dunno about you," Ron remarked, stretching his arms over his head to stop feeling so compressed after a day of mostly sitting down, "but I could do with a drink or two."

	"I figure it's going to happen eventually." Ron grinned cheekily. "So I mostly just let her become background noise, y'know?@ Only halfway through his pint, Ron looked at his glass, weighing up the options. Another drink wouldn't hurt. "Yeah, go on then, I won't say no. Same again, thanks." Frowning a little, he studied Seamus more closely. "Are you alright?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Seamus' smile waved a little bit. "It must be nice," he murmured, more to himself than to Ron, really. "To be so sure of it." All too often Seamus could only foresee a life in which he would continue to live alone - though of course, there was the pub and the community he was helping to build, but that wasn't quite the same. Realising he'd said too much, he flushed and stood up, carrying his glass to the bar and fetching drinks for them both. This time, he bumped his order to a double and reminded himself he was supposed to be having a good time.

He returned to the table and sank back into his seat, leaving Ron's new drink near his current one and tipping back a quarter of his own in one swallow. "Enough about mothers and children," he decided. "We are young men. How're the Cannons doing? Better than the Wasps and the Catapults this year, right?" It had been a while since he checked, but he was pretty sure he'd heard Dean and Bryn complaining about their teams' poor performances.

Ron grinned. "Yeah, we're actually doing well this season. Y'know, good for us, anyway. The Wasps and the Catapults are really making us look good. Which is kind of shitty for their fans, but good for us." He sipped his drink, mind running over the games that had already been played this season. The Cannons didn't have much of a chance of ending the season in the top half of the league, but anything that wasn't the bottom was good.

"How are you feeling about Kenmare's season? Not their best, is it?"

"'Shitty' is about the politest way they might put it," Seamus said - though in all honesty neither Bryn nor Dean had been particularly vehement. "Still, it makes a nice change. Good to shake the league up a bit once in a while." He made a face when Ron asked about the Kestrels. "We started out so well!" he moaned. "And now it feels like we haven't won in ages. Last time I checked we were barely above you lot. No offence." He raised his glass to his lips in mock salute and took a sip, feeling the warmth of the alcohol start to tingle out along his limbs. "Still time, though, right? The Magpies haven't got it locked down."

"That's me," Ron said with a snicker. "Really polite." Ron would have felt sorry for Dean, but after a lifetime of supporting the Cannons, he simply couldn't feel anything but a sense of glee when there were teams ranked below his in the league.

Ron swallowed almost the rest of his first pint. "S'alright. None taken." That was mild, to be honest, but not even years of teasing from his brothers could really remove all the sting.

"It's too early to have anything fix yet. The Prides and the Bats'll give them a run for their money."

Seamus, who had conflicting feelings about the Bats, just shrugged slightly as he finished off his drink in a hurry. He should have bought two, he couldn't be doing with going up and down to the bar all night... Since Ron hadn't touched his second yet, Seamus figured the polite thing to do was wait, even if he didn't really want to. He felt good, right now, and he wanted to feel better and clearly more booze was the answer. "Krum's doing well for the Magpies," he mused, remembering Ron had been a fan at school - at least until he saw Krum and Hermione together. "Whoops. Not so many years ago you'd have walloped me for saying anything positive about that one." He didn't really thing it would be a problem nowadays, but it was hard to really care too much either. Ron and Hermione were together, it was all so silly.

"What I like," he added, moving of at something of a tangent, "is that you stick with the Cannons. Doing well, doing badly. You don't have a back-up team, for the off years..." He chuckled slightly - because for the Cannons nearly every year was an off year. He had enough tact left not to say so. "Not like some people, supporting two teams because they can't make up their minds."

"Nah, not walloped you," Ron said. He grinned. "Maybe just slipped you one of George's sweets." Really, though, he barely even thought about Viktor these days. Sometimes his name was in the papers, but other than that Ron didn't even spare him much in the way of brain power.

"See, I just don't get how people have back-up teams and stuff. Following a certain player, maybe, but I guess I'm just a one-team sort of man."

"I'm sure Hermione will be pleased to hear that," Seamus said, grinning. Though, he didn't really believe quidditch habits matched relationship habits. Dominic might be incapable of sticking to one partner, but Dean was as loyal as any Gryffindor. "I always say I'm going to follow my favourite players when they transfer but..." He shrugged. Somehow, it never happened. He was a Kenmare man through and through.

	Ron laughed. "Yeah, I guess I'm a one-Hermione sort of man, too." Grimacing slightly, he picked up the second pint. "To be honest, I mostly just feel pleased for anyone who transfers from the Cannons. Good for them." (Reply to this) (Parent)
