When it rains, it pours.

Old friends

Hi! Sorry for the late update, but I've finally finished the new chapter!

There is a little smut in this! Not your thing? Stop reading at: Then Stiles feels another body against his back, and he feels himself flush with heat. Not because he is warm, but because he really likes where this is going.

And you can safely continue from:
''Thank fuck I've got you two as my boyfriends,'' Stiles says with a smug grin when they have caught their breathing.

There is also talk about trauma. We are going to talk about what Kate did to Derek, so heads up!

''I want to visit George next weekend,'' Harry says while frowning at the letter he just received. He's worried about his old friend. Harry knew, of course, how hard it would be for George to go on without Fred, but according to the letter, he is also distancing himself from Ron, Molly, Ginny, and Percy.

''That's the one with the joke shop, right?'' Stiles replies, acting casually, but Harry sees the twinkle in his eyes.

''Yes, he is.''

''Okay, okay, could I go with you?''

''Why? You don't know George.'' Harry says with a raised eyebrow.

Stiles waves him off with a 'tssk' and flailing his hands.

''So? I could still want to come with my boyfriend, right?''

''Stiles-''

''Yes, Honeybunch?''

Harry groans. This could only get worse. ''If I let you come with me, can you promise to behave yourself? You're seventeen now, but the laws and control in Britain are a lot more- uptight.'' Harry says with a grimace. He tries not to think about how the system in Britain fucked up royally every time with him. But it's difficult.

People do everything for power.

''What are you guys talking about?'' Derek asks while still toweling his hair when he enters the bedroom.

''Harry wants to go to visit George this weekend, I asked if I could join, but he's a buzzkill.'' Stiles whines. Derek looks amused between Harry and Stiles. Harry just rolls his eyes while Stiles is pouting. Then Derek turns fully to Harry, and the smirk is enough to make Harry smile.

''You don't want him to go loco in a magic joke shop, do you?''

Harry laughs when Stiles makes an affronted noise. ''I can behave!''

''Stiles, let's be honest, a magic - joke - shop. You can't be trusted in there. The pack will never forgive me.''

Stiles grumbles, but he gives in with a sigh.

''Why do you want to visit him?'' Derek asks while putting on more clothes, not bothered with the heated looks Stiles and Harry give him.

''He has sent me a letter, and I'm worried about him. He lost his twin last year in the war. They-they were good people, and they were always together. They had the joke shop together, and George did continue with it, but if I read his letter correctly, he wants to stop with it.''

Harry rereads the letter and frowns again at the contents. He doesn't mind that Stiles is reading over his shoulder with him.

Hi Harrykins,

Long time no see. How is it up there with you and Hermione? Here same old same old, as in, Mom is crying and raging a lot about you two. What else is new? Ginny is becoming a right diva.. Which is pretty weird to see. Ron is a wanker. But you already knew that. And Percy still doesn't know how to talk to anyone. They did try to con me into living in the Burrow again, which really? Conning a con man, you can understand that it was pathetic.
