Roger brought an arm across his chest, stretching his tricep as he walked along River Road towards the Five Alarm. All the overtime he'd been working was getting to his muscles. He was picking up some of the slack around the shop since Marcus left to do his own thing and Seamus was still in Ireland, though Harry, Zach, and Charlie were still doing more than their share. Between that and work on the new house -- the one he and Hermione would live in -- he had more than enough work to be going on with.
He let out a breath as he thought about the house. If he and Hermione really pushed it over the next few days and with a small amount of magical help, they might be finished redoing all the floors. They looked fantastic, so far, he thought with a small smile as he walked. And with everything keeping them so busy, there was less time to think about how nerve-wracking this all was. It felt right and he was excited about sharing this with Hermione, but it was hard not to take a step like this without some nerves.
Shaking his head, he approached the pub just as a small throng of patrons filed out. Busy tonight, he mused silently. He'd not been frequenting the pub nearly so much as he'd used to, but tonight he was taking the time to be social. Hermione was working on a surprise for him in the smallest bedroom of the house, and she'd told him she was working on it tonight. Fortunately, he'd made plans to meet Zach for drinks tonight, anyway.
Grabbing the door right before it closed on him, he went inside and glanced around; maybe Zach was already here.
