Even though Charlie probably could have stayed in and watched the fireworks from his cottage he liked the atmosphere around a bonfire. Plus he was pretty fond of flames that didn't come from a dragon. Actually he liked the sort out of a dragon too if they weren't directed at him.
He'd slung on his long leather coat, minus the thankfully removable fur lining. It was a relatively mild night for early November and he didn't feel the cold too badly despite acclimatising back to the UK temperatures. He had wandered along to the fireworks show with some money in his pocket and bought a snack or two. He'd endured some teasing from someone he vaguely knew from school about his hair being the same colour as the fire. As if those jabs were new.
Despite the slightly uneven ground it was at least dry and easy enough to walk. He was towards the edge of the crowd so he probably wouldn't get knocked off balance by someone craning to look at the fireworks. Only a minute or two into the show itself he felt something brushing at his calf. He looked down and was surprised to see a smaller sized dog.
"Hey, little guy, you shouldn't be out here alone," he said. "Shit, you shouldn't be out here at all really." The poor thing was clearly not enjoying the show, which was hardly surprising.
"Hey, is this someone's dog?" he called to the nearby people.
