Dean's Birthday!
Who: Open to: Dean, Seamus, Dominic, Susan, Ernie, Alicia, Lavender, Oliver, Harry, Hannah, George.
What: Dean's birthday party
Where: The Roost
When: Sunday afternoon/evening/night?
Rating: SFW - for now

There had been no big shouts of 'surprise', Seamus knew Dean far too well for that. He'd just lead him up to The Roost after Battlescars and let him push the door open to reveal a sandy floor, warm salt-and-coconut scented air and a 'Starry Night' sky. There was a bar at one end of the room, stocked and ready for people to help themselves (Seamus wasn't working tonight, though he'd doubtless end up there showing off his cocktail skills at some point). Along the side wall were tables for the food, already containing Aunt Rose's jerk chicken and Seamus's attempt at a pineapple upside down cake, vastly outdone by Aileen Finnigan's cherry cheesecake next to it. The rest of the large room was scattered with deckchairs, apart from a small decked area for dancing. The music of steel drums floated from nowhere and despite the bleak grey sky outside the room glowed with sunlight.

"Oi, you two leave off!" Oliver said in mock indignation. "Not fair for you to gang up! I absolutely don't care about EVERYONE finding me cute. Just FUN people." He was fully joking now, though of course he didn't mind if people found him attractive, so long as they also found him brilliant and good at Keeping. That was important.

He listened to Susan and Harry's work banter with bemusement-very few transfigured gazelle in quidditch, perhaps that was a flaw-and instead perked up when he was mentioned again. "Harry, ole boy, I see those dancing lessons I never gave you paid off. Few more drinks we might invite you to teach US," he joked, laughing, though a thumb traced Susan's hip. He was a straight male, and she smelled nice. Oliver also wasn't made of stone.

"Ha, never," Susan replied with a grin. "We're Aurors, so we've always got one another's backs, even apparently when it comes to deciding if someone is cute, fun, or both."

She felt Oliver begin to gyrate against her in time to the beat as she and Harry discussed work - something that she had tried, and failed to not discuss with various colleagues all evening. "Harry's an excellent dancer," she said loyally, as Oliver sent a shiver through her with his hand. "With excellent friends," she added with a bell-like laugh.

"It's true Oliver. Aurors never leave each other out in the cold." He was grinning now, fully enjoying himself. It was hard not to with Susan and Oliver; they were forces of natures each in their own way. "Not even when it just concerns who finds who cute."

Harry wasn't unaware that Oliver and Susan were perhaps dancing more closely with each other than with him, but it didn't bother him. They were nice to look at, not that he'd have said so out loud; possibly he should try not to think about it too much. He should probably leave soon, but he was reluctant to just yet.

"Thanks Susan, though I don't think my dancing can be described as excellent." Barely adequate was a better adjective, though he was having such fun it hardly mattered. "Very excellent friends."

Oliver and Harry and Susan

"I'm glad that you lot are protecting the world via reassuring one another of your relative merits," Oliver offered, nodding vaguely. "After all, I wouldn't want a dark wizard hunter to be self conscious when he or she is out protecting little old me." He dipped along with the pair of them, happily in his element as he moved to the music. "And especially when it comes to agreeing on how very adorable I am," he added, not wanting the conversation to stray too far from that point.

If Oliver noticed that Harry was perhaps a little excited about the three of them dancing together, it didn't much bother him. He was open minded, after all, and it was fun, the three of them. They made a nice little pairing, as far as Oliver could see. He always liked Harry having fun, and he was very much enjoying the laughter, and naturally the soft curvature of the woman in front of him. By all accounts an excellent evening so far.

"Very excellent friends see past the steps themselves to the intent," Oliver responded, using a free hand to grab Harry's waist and pull him closer. "Come now, don't shy away!" he said, looking over Susan's shoulder and giving him a wink. Though looking over his shoulder also gave him a bit of a view down her front, and that was very nice indeed.

"That's our big secret Oliver," she has with a smile. "The reason we're so very, very good at kicking arse and saving the world is that we have nicely stroked egos. Also, we get to save people like little old you, who are so very appreciative."

Susan smiled at Harry, noting the flush in his cheeks that was coming from such close proximity to both her and Oliver. It didn't bother her in the slightest, and it was nice to see him having fun, although it did engage the pesky little part of her brain that found matchmaking such a rewarding pastime.

"I couldn't have put it better myself, handsome," she said with a laugh at Harry's expression as Oliver deftly mashed Harry against her. Obligingly, she placing a hand on Harry's hip. There were definitely worst sandwiches to be in then this one, particularly when one member was rather pointedly looking down the top of her dress.
