Re: Oliver and Harry and Susan
Harry, who had been accused of having a huge ego all his life, normally didn't find jokes like this amusing. Tonight though, it didn't bother him. Both because he knew they were teasing, and because it seemed like an awful lot of effort to get upset over a little joke. Much more fun to just play along. So he just snickered, and winked at them both.

When Oliver pulled him closer to Susan, and then they both had their hands on his hips, Harry wasn't entirely sure what to do with his own hands. Eventually it seemed easiest to put one over Susan's shoulders, and the other on her hip, though Oliver's closeness meant Harry was touching him too. No one seemed to mind, and it was clear it was just innocent fun. It had been awhile since he'd had anything of that sort.
