Ally had made a stop on her way to WWW, at her favourite Curry place in Aberystwyth to buy some for those sheltered in the shop with George, before finally taking the floo from her flat to the store. As she stepped out of the fireplace, she spotted a handful of people gathered together, chatting amiably

"Hey everyone! I've brought food for any who're interested!" she called out as she slung the overnight bag off her shoulder, opening it to take out the paper takeout bags.

George was sitting with the other people who had decided just to hang out at WWW while the craziness was going on outside. He was more than happy to entertain them as it gave him a chance to know where they were, as many of them were friends and familiar regular customers. They were all enjoying themselves quite a bit actually considering. When he heard Ally's voice behind them, he felt a knot of tension release inside him. He hadn't realized how worried he'd been about her. A number of people jumped up and hurried over to get some food, the rest followed over slower, but of course Gidget was the first one to reach Ally, and he jumped up and down on his back paws, dancing around her feet excitedly. George wasn't sure if he was more excited to see her or food, maybe it was equal excitement.

George waited until the others had grabbed food before he made it to Ally. He smiled at her. "Thanks for that, you didn't have to. Sure we've got enough Skiving Snack Boxes to keep everyone busy for a week," he teased. "You ok? No Inferi creatures show up in you neck of the woods today?"

Alicia spent a few moments petting Gidget - and keeping him away from the food - as she handed out the bags of takeout, saving one for herself and George. Finally, she stood up and slung the bag back over her shoulder.

"Because we all know how those skivving snackboxes are good for your health," she teased back. "No inferi or anything of the sort. And luckily, my bothersome clients shut right up the moment they're half naked on the table, so all is well."

Having no qualms about public displays of affection, she reached out to wrap her free hand around his neck, pulling him down for a kiss. Merlin, even better than I remembered. I could handle being watched over if it means kissing him like this more often.

"I hope you like curry," she said once the kiss ended.

He picked up Gidget and stuck him under his arm as the last of the hungry hoards walked away again. "They're not bad for you're health per se, they just give you the symptoms without any of the crappy stuff." He gave her his best salesman smile before he looked at what food she'd saved for them.

He wasn't going to make the move to kiss her in front of the group, not because he had any qualms with PDA, but because he didn't want to make assumptions about what she was comfortable with. But when she clearly was ok with it, he kissed her back with a bit of excitement. Maybe it hadn't been long since they'd last seen each other, but he'd actually missed her and wanted her to know that. Besides, he hadn't slept much the night before for worry of her and her nightmare. "I do like curry, nothing wrong with a little spice." he smiled as he looked into her eyes. "How are you doing today?" She seemed in good spirits, he hoped that meant the potion had worked last night.

She opened the bag on the nearest counter and took out boxes of curry and basmati rice. She'd chosen the mildest of the curries available, as there was no telling what people's tastes were. She pulled out two forks and handed one to George.

"Aside from hearing about all the excitement, I've been well. Better than expected, in fact." She grinned. "Actually had a decent night's sleep last night. It was strange, but... Michael's potion worked for the most part. And you? Did any of those whatevers try to get into the shop?"

He leaned on the counter and dug in, hungrier than he'd realized. He had been getting pretty close to running upstairs and raiding his pantry for things for people to eat, but she'd saved him from having to. "Yea, when everything first started, a few of them strayed in, but between the lot of us we got them out and charmed the place so as not to have to worry about them. Few people showed up, most of the people who were here went home once I got the floo fire place cleared out, had a display in front of it, not the smartest thing I guess. But I suppose being here was more fun than being at home for this lot, so they decided to stay, which I had no problem with."

He was glad to hear that the potion had worked. "So does the potion working mean no nightmare? I'll admit I had trouble sleeping because I was worried about you having trouble sleeping, even if Angie was there. You still could have taken Gidget for the night, I wouldn't have minded."

"I'm surprised Percy hasn't told you off for putting the display there. I bet there's some sort of Ministry regulations against that sort of thing," she added with a laugh. "But yes, this is definitely a more entertaining place to hide out."

She blushed as he admitted to being worried for her, but to hide it, she playfully poked him in the side with her elbow. "Well, I had the nightmare, but it no longer felt like it was happening to me, if that makes sense. Usually it feels as if it's me in the dream that everything is happening to, but this time, it was as if I was looking through someone else's eyes. I could see the same things, acknowledge that the same stuff was happening, but there was no pain, no panic... the emotions weren't there, and that made it livable."

She took a bite and looked over to Gidget, whose nose was high in the air at the scent of food. "I had Ang over. And if you were worried, you probably needed Gidget more than I did." This time, she poked her fork into George's food and took a bite, smirking at him as if challenging him to protest.

"Yea well I'm not sure Percy realized it was there, I had I pretty well hidden, I almost forgot it was there myself. But don't bring it up to him, or it will be my ass on the line, and I was under the impression that you kind of liked my ass," he smirked at her, seeing what she would say to that.

"Any improvement is good improvement, right? Still, I am glad that it worked. I guess that means you're going to keep using it yea? I'll be glad if you don't have to worry about the nightmares anymore, but we still need to find a way to get rid of it for good." That didn't include dying, he thought. But he decided not to say that part. "You could still stay at mine the next time you're supposed to have the dream, just in case. Then I won't have to loan you Gidget, he'll be here too. Everyone wins." He used his fork to counter her attempt to get at his food, and started a little sword fight with her before lettin her have some and getting some of hers in return.

"I will admit, I do have a vested interest in the ass in question," she teased with a wink. "Perhaps I can be persuaded to keep your secret."

She laughed as he 'fought' her attempts to steal his food and gladly played along. She grinned victoriously when he 'let' her have some of his food. "I plan on using it every night, in fact. I know there's been a pattern, but I figured it would be safer just in case the pattern changes, I don't want to be caught unawares." She looked back out at the others gathered in the room, but her words were still directed at George. "I brought it tonight. I figured I wouldn't be getting back to mine till morning... unless I'm being too presumptuous?"

"I thought so," he smiled back at her. "I could possibly think of ways to persuade you as well, if you needed more convincing," he said suggestively.

He was glad she didn't find his game childish and annoying, as some people had in the past. She just seemed to understand him better than anyone else he'd met, that was a big reason why he was so damn attracted to her. "Not a bad idea, better safe then sorry, right? Though it has been extremely regular so far, hasn't it? I only had that one night of it right at the start, but I can't imagine dealing with that on a regular basis. You're a stronger person than I am," he said, fully meaning it.

"Well why don't you just move right in without asking me, and eat my food, and kidnap my dog!" He teased her with a laugh. "Of course you can stay here, I'd be upset if you didn't. I might even cry, just a warning, I'm pretty addorable when I'm sad, it's hard to say no to me."

Her face went warm at his suggestive tone, but it wasn't a blush - it was from remembering their last night together, and just how... convincing he could be. "You can convince me later, when we're alone." And perhaps she'd take a peek at his adult line before heading up, just in case it inspired her.

"I'm not strong, I just have no choice but to deal with it." She shrugged self-consciously. "There are some nights I'm just about ready to give up, and others," she looked at his face, her eyes meeting his, make it bearable."

She smiled, secretly relieved that he didn't act weird. Some blokes were rather funny and leery of any sort of commitment, up to and including a girl presuming to stay the night and bringing an overnight bag. She'd hoped George would be better than that, and was pleased she'd been right. That didn't mean the fear hadn't been there, though. "I guess I'll just have to not say no to you, then."

She leaned over the very short distance it took to kiss his cheek. As she returned to her food, her shoulder stayed in contact with his, not wanting to part completely from him yet.

"Oh good, something to look forward to," he said lightly as if he was talking about a dinner date or something.

"I'm pretty sure everything you just said makes you strong, just so you know. So there's no real need to fight it." he smiled. He really did thinks she was brave, after everything that had happened in the last 5 years. "Well for the record I'm more than happy to give you some of those better nights to get you through the worse ones, you only have to ask. And if last time was any indication, a few good mornings as well!"

He laughed a little at that. "That's great, I hate it when people say no to me, and in return, I won't say no to you either, how about that." He smiled at the kiss on the cheek and leaned into her when she didn't break contact with him, very much liking the constant contact with her. Gidget wouldn't be ignored any longer though, and butted his head against George's leg before leaping up onto the counter, even though it should be too high for him to get to. He sat and stared at George, as if willing him to share his food. George gave him a look but didn't make a move to share.

"I can work with that," she replied to the 'not saying no' deal. "Means we'll have to be creative, though. Instead of no, we can say 'I don't think that's a good idea', or 'I would prefer this or that'. Or my personal favourite, 'Just bugger off already'."

She was in the midst of swallowing a bite of food when Gidget found his way to the counter. She pointed her fork at him. "Now I didn't get this for you. However, I did come prepared." She put down her fork to go into her bag and pulled out a cookie. It looked good enough for her to eat, but it was made specially for dogs. "Luckily, there's a pet store near the curry place. I didn't think you'd mind me distracting him from dinner."

She unwrapped the cookie and moved it close enough for Gidget to get a good whiff, then stepped away from the counter. "Here Gidget, on the floor to get your cookie!"

"Oh I'm officially only saying 'just bugger off already' from now on instead of no, that should be brilliant! Though with my mum, I think I'll use 'no', just to be safe, you know." he was far too amused by this conversation and was even further amused thinking of how that might get transferred into more intimate situations.

"I think Gidget has officially joined the Church of Spinnet and converted to Alicianity because of this," he watched as the dog eagerly jumped off the counter and then sat more perfectly than he ever had before. "Yea he definitely has adopted you as his new goddess, congratulations on that." George of course didn't mind at all, the nicer people were to his dog, the nicer he was usually to them.
