Seeing as Wingbeat would be opening later, Finnigan's was presenting a more laid back option for Halloween this year. Dominic had magically dimmed all the rooms just a little, and they were lit with magical jack o'lanterns. A cauldron of Honeydukes' finest products waited by the door - charmed to let every customer take exactly one sweet and the bar was serving up themed cocktails, including Black Magic (Calvados, Creme de Mure, lemon juice and honey, warmed), Pumpkin Spiced Beer, Vampire Delight Martini and Departed Spirit Shot. Seamus had even cajoled Romeo into making colcannon and barmbrack for the occasion.

The roost was a little more elaborate, as usual, decorated to resemble a pumpkin field with pumpkin beanbags and cauldrons for apple-bobbing. There were apples strung up on strings from the ceiling, too, for games of snap apple.

The Den and The Corner looked much as they usually did, apart from the jack o'lanterns and a few spare 'cobwebs' in the corners. Everything was ready, and Seamus and Dominic were expecting a busy day.

Theo hadn't heard of it but then he never dined out and had scant knowledge of any of the restaurants on the area. The cafe sounded good though, especially the privacy spells and the booths - he hated sitting in the middle of a room, especially when he couldn't have his back to a wall, even though the fact that he needed to sit in such a manner made him feel like he'd failed some universal test. "Six sounds perfect." he agreed, trying not to convince himself out of it already. It was just dinner and a chat and Ernie knew enough about him on the surface to not be scared off by him for the duration of one meal; he had picked him up off the floor after all, and if anything else was unearthed during dinner then at least they'd given it a fair go. It wasn't as though this was a marriage proposal, not that Theo thought it would get that far.

Ernie was kind. Theo felt safe with him, and Theo didn't even feel safe when he was on his own. Could he be blamed for wanting more of that? Yes, maybe it was selfish of him because there was no way Ernie would want anymore of his company after discovering what dark traps came with it, but then at least Ernie would be able to see that for himself and not be told by Theo and end up always wondering 'what if' - this was the better way for the both of them.
