To say that Susan had had an interesting day was perhaps one of the greatest understatements since 'Hey, if we point sticks at one another our magic is scarier!' Her day had been equal parts annoying, awesome, and confusing, and the prospect of having her friends around for dinner had been one of the things that had kept her powering through her sleep deprived state. The brandy and wine at Rose's had helped too. Still, she had just enough time after seeing Rose to rush to the supermarket and buy panic buy enough products to feed a Quidditch match.

Two hours later: her kitchen smelled amazing, and she'd managed enough just enough downtime to slip into a cute little dress. She was just vaguely wondering where all the people were when the doorbell rang, and the first of her guests arrived.

Susan watched impassively as Dean open and closed his mouth several times, obviously blind sighted by his suggestion. To be fair on him, she probably had, although she’d been thinking about the possibility for a while. Originally, the plan had been for her brother to move in with her once he’d finished school as he was going to train to be a Hit Wizard. Then, his girlfriend had decided to train to become a Cursebreaker, and he’d impulsively decided to join her, and found to everyone’s surprise that he really enjoyed it. In the end his girlfriend had dropped out, and he hadn’t . Now, he was nearly finished his training and would soon be travelling around the world for the bank, so he wouldn’t need to live with her permanently. This had left Susan in a dilemma, as being alone in the house had slowly begun to drive her crazy no matter how much she loved it. Thus she had decided to ask Dean.

"I totally understand, and I don’t want to pressure you or make you feel like you’re obligated to agree to anything," she said, raising her palms as though in supplication. "The fact that you’re a work obsessed insomniac with PTSD who wakes up from nightmares and cooks for half the night doesn't bother me in the least," she said with a half-smile. "I’m a work obsessed Auror with trust issues and a penchant for making horrible relationship choices, and an almost pathological need to look after my friends. Also, I'd put you on the ground floor so being in the kitchen wouldn't bother me at all," She smiled warmly and kissed him on the cheek, expertly hiding her disappointment. "I'll let the matter drop," she added, picking up the wine and walking out of the kitchen before stopping and looking over her shoulder. "Although I feel I should add that you do yourself a disservice by thinking that you're a bad person - to live with or otherwise. You're not, handsome. You just think you are."

"Like I said, I'm not saying no right away, just reminding you of the issues. I know you have your own, but I tried to live with my family, back at the start and it didn't go very well. I know I'm way better now, but I have a bad past with it." He was feeling pretty resistant, but he could see that Susan really wanted this, or he had been able to before her face shut off.

" I'll think about it, okay? But I'm not promising anything. I've been living alone for a long time." He gave her a little smile, hoping it would make her feel better again. He didn't think he would end up saying yes, but she was a great friend and deserved to have him think about it for a while at least.

"I know, darling, and thank you for at least considering it," she said with a dazzling smile. "It was really just a spur of the moment question, brought on by the fact that Edgar won't be moving in with me. I would never force you to do something you didn't want."

She turned around and kissed him on each cheek. "You're a good person, Dean Thomas," she said, taking the wine and heading up the stairs.

Dean watched Susan leave, her words ringing around his head and filling a hole in the pit of his stomach with warmth. And now he didn't know what to think. At a loss he felt the smile leave his face, and instead he took a gulp of his coke.

It wasn't like he was going to get anywhere with his thoughts circling as they were. Time to go back to the main party then. He took a breath and headed for the stairs himself.
