Harry & Roger
Who: Harry & Roger
What: They run into each other. Literally.
Where: Diagon Alley heading into Monument Alley Park
When: Friday afternoon
Rating: SFW

Harry was never in a good mood after a morning spent testifying in the Wizengamot. Today was no exception, even though a conviction was all but guaranteed. The courtrooms would always bring back bad memories for Harry; he didn't think that would ever change. He was glad he had the rest of the afternoon off. He was picking up Teddy after dinner for a sleepover, and he hated being in a bad mood around his godson. It would take him that long to shake off the distaste and discomfort from the courtroom, to keep from shivering at memories of the Dementors roaming around--even if those memories were six years old and counting.

Thoughts of the case kept him distracted as he wandered aimlessly down Diagon Alley. Nathaniel Warrick, age 60, stood accused of numerous crimes: spousal abuse, possession of Dark artefacts, use of an Unforgiveable; he was guilty of them all and Harry wanted to see him sentenced justly. It would happen, but it would be a long and complicated trial. His part in that was done, however, the rest was up to the Wizengamot. Maybe he could have Hermione keep an eye on the case. He'd mention it to her.

Lost in thought, he didn't realize he was heading straight for collision until it was too late to change course.

Roger grinned easily at his friend, certain that although the one and only Harry Potter could probably get any tickets he liked, he would take Roger up on his offer. "I'm glad, it'd be nice. Hell, maybe we could go watch one of Ollie's matches on a night when he and I aren't both playing?"

He lay back in the grass, positioning himself so that he was directly in a patch of sunlight. He felt his shirt ride up revealing his stomach and abs, but wasn't particularly bothered by it. He sighed contentedly, completely unaware of what was running through Harry's head.

"Now ain't that the truth," he said with a short bark of laughter. "I'm kind of glad I didn't join the team 'til second year, it gave me a chance to get on my feet course wise. But I get where you're coming from," he added, frowning. Everyone knew how badly Harry had been treated, and the fact that the Police had never been contacted was astounding.

Harry grinned, and ignored the little flip in his stomach that came when Roger suggested they take in a match together. "I'd like that. I...have no idea when that might be, but I'd like that a lot." Probably more than was wise, but that was a thought for another day. Harry was nothing if not good at ignoring problems until they blew up in his face. It was a special talent.

The little patch of skin between Roger's shirt and trousers was entirely too distracting, and he made himself lean back and study the sky instead. Clouds were way more interesting. At least, that's what he was trying to convince himself of. He really needed to stop acting like a teenager in the first throes of a crush, and remember he was a fully grown adult helping to raise a child. Attractive men should not make him so flustered.

Especially when he wasn't even entirely comfortable yet with the idea of being attracted to men. It was still a fairly new realization, and one he hadn't had a chance to act on. So snap out of it Potter, he told himself.

"If I hadn't had Hermione, I probably would have failed by the time third year came around, so I definitely get wanting to get your feet under you first."

Roger laughed breezily at Harry's definitive agreement to the plan. He was fairly certain that Harry harboured a bit of a crush on him, but after a bit of observation he'd come to the conclusion that he had the same crush on Oliver, and possibly Vikesh as well. It seemed more that Harry; new to the whole liking men thing, was doing what Roger himself had done when he first came out to himself, and getting crushes on every attractive male he knew. "Sounds like a plan to me."

"Ah, that Granger," he said, yawning ponderously and stretching. "She's nice. Very intense, but nice."

"Brilliant. It'll be something to look forward to." And he wasn't going to let work get in the way, not only because it had been too long since he'd made it to a live match. Life didn't have to stop just because people wanted to end it. Otherwise, they'd win by default. Or something.

He grinned, because that was one of the best descriptions of Hermione ever. "Best person I've ever known," he said honestly. "Smartest too. Ron and I would have died ten times over without her." That was probably even underestimating things.

"Of course it will, it'll be with me," Roger said with a joking smirk. "It'll be good for you to get away from work for a bit, take a break from saving the world and all that?"

He grinned lazily. "There were always whispers in Ravenclaw that she should have been one of us with those marks of hers. I am grateful for her to not letting you die though, Saviour of Hogwarts and all that."

"Yeah, it will be," Harry said, but refused to let any lingering dissatisfaction with his job come back in. He'd done a good job of pushing aside those thoughts.

Laughing at the Raveclaw comment, Harry had to admit it was true. "I think the Hat wanted to put her there, but then saw how stubborn she was and put her in Gryffindor instead. Lucky me." He made a face at the Saviour of Hogwarts remark, though he knew Roger only meant it teasingly. "Oh, shut it."

Chortling, Roger pulled out his watch and grimaced. "Ugh, as much as I'd like to stay here and hang out, can we rain check the rest of this conversation? I have to go and meet, uh," he blushed slightly. "I'm off to meet my friend." He got up and pulled Harry into a bear hug. "But you and I will very soon, yes? If nothing else I am taking it upon myself to get you laid, even if I have to do you myself." Grinning, he walked out of the park and headed towards Marcus and Finnigan's unaware of the impact that his flyaway comment had.

Harry tried not to be too disappointed. He had to get home and get things ready for Teddy, and Andromeda expected him for dinner as well. But still, he hated to end the conversation so quickly.

"Of course we can," he said, wrapping his arms around Roger in return. He wondered who this friend was, and why it had Roger blushing. There was no time to dwell on that though, as Roger talked about taking him out and getting him laid. "Uh..." But Roger was already gone, leaving Harry blinking owlishly behind him.

Well, he thought to himself, that was something to look forward to.
