Harry was running late. But then he was often running late on Fridays. Nevermind that he'd already mentioned having plans. No. He had a new case come up that needed preliminary paperwork finished before the weekend. Not that he had much of a weekend so to speak. His days off weren't really days off. Not when he was up to his elbows in bread and pies. There was one last Hogsmeade weekend before exams and the shop was going to be busy.
It was always busy.
But it made him happy.
Harry apparated to Diagon Alley itself, still wearing his uniform because he'd not been home to change. As he walked toward the back entrance of the Cauldron, he unbuttoned the line of buttons that went down his chest. Moving from robes to jackets was one of the better improvements of the Ministry. Robes got caught on things. The jackets were close fitting and made quick movements much easier.
And the opinion of Witch Weekly was that they made the Aurors look fit.
Harry hadn't noticed.
Once inside the pub, he scanned the room before spotting a familiar head at one of the back tables. He kept his attention on that instead of making eye contact with other patrons. Eye contact would lead to conversation and Harry just didn't have time for that. Not when he was already late.
"Well you look to be in one piece," he said, pulling back a chair. "Not even crisp around the edges. Well done, mate. I'm impressed."
