They had weeks and weeks of rain. It seemed to stop only for a few hours, usually around work hours, because the weather was crazy like that, but today the rain seemed to stop before dinner time, so he decided that it was much better to go outside. Besides, everyone seems to have plans with friends and relatives and he- well, he was still feeling his way into these new friendships.
He didn't plan to go far and had his dinner with him, thanks to a basket provided by the house-elves. He wasn't sure where he'd end up until he saw a makeshift fort. He peeked inside freezing when he saw who it was. "Hey, I was just checking who was here," he said, trying not to fidget. "I guess we had the same idea, with all the rain that we've had."
He wasn't sure if he should stay or go, and decided that his new policy of being upfront would work best. "Do you want my company? I can go otherwise."
