As Harry was growing up, he never would have counted Katie as one of his best friends. Close friend, yes; teammate, yes; best friend, not quite. Harry's always been pretty weird about those he considered friends. There had to be prolonged contact and a desire from the other party to get close but not to get close because of who he was.
He counted himself lucky that he had the few friends he did; Ron and Hermione of course, a couple blokes in the office back in the real world, and now friends here, friends he hadn't thought as friends when he had known them, but who were friends now. And of course, Ginny, his wife; who might actually be the one person to know him best, even between Ron and Hermione.
Katie was now there too. Every Wednesday, around noon, Harry and Katie would go out for lunch at the pub and a drink to go with it. Library work wasn't exactly rocket science, and now that Harry had the Library mostly put back together, except for the few nights a month when the Library became a safe house for a certain person with a hairy problem, Harry's hard work was over. He could do it a little tipsy if he wanted.
He sat down and he ordered their usual. The special with his and Katie's poison of choice. And he smiled, because he finally had a friend on the island. Who might currently be a man. Shit, Harry thought, Does that mean we have to switch drinks?
He leaned back, feeling a little top heavy as he did so to ask Katie who had just walked in, "So, is it Katie or Karl now?"
