The pub was always quiet on Sunday nights. Usually Seamus wasn't even downstairs for it, Sunday was his only full day off and after Battlescars, lunch and the Business Bureau there'd be something to do in his flat, whether it was dinner with Dean or planning with Dominic or even paperwork. Tonight, though, the uppermost on his pile of paperwork was the task of dealing with his chef who'd just quit, handing in his two week's notice. Quit because Seamus had shouted at him. He'd deserved the shouting, but that didn't make Seamus feel any better. He'd liked the gruff older man and his culinary mishaps had been amusing. At first.

Seamus carried a Guinness to one of the tables by the window, setting it down and then pulling a pack of cards from his pocket. Dean was at his studio, probably. Seamus didn't actually know for a fact, he didn't keep tabs on him. Anymore. The point was that he wasn't in the bar, which meant Seamus could while away the evening with a round of exploding solitaire. Unless anyone else walked in. (He hoped someone else would walk in! He hated playing alone.)

It only took a few moves before Seamus could see the trap he'd unwittingly sent his rook into. He was quiet for a while, trying to wriggle his way out of it - but it was no good. He heaved a dramatic sigh as he looked up at her. "Go on then." By this stage, they both knew what was coming. He grinned, showing there were no hard feelings.

"It was good," Seamus said, thinking of the sand and the music and the cocktails with a smile. "But don't worry, I'll think up more excuses to drag him out to socialise before long."

It was interesting for all her brain power and uses of logic chess wasn't something she'd ever cared to actually master. In fact the only reason she usually played the game was to spend time with Ron. That and it allowed him to have a sense of superiority from time to time.

Making the move that would set Seamus' demise into motion she nodded her head. "I don't get out nearly as much as I ought to either." She made a mental note to reach out to Dean. They shared a common experience within the Malfoy Manor the days that followed at Shell Cottage.
