   Summary

   It’s been raining for days, and Hermione Granger insists she’s only happy when it rains. Also- she claims she’s only happy when it’s complicated—which works out nicely, because Harry Potter has never done anything simple in his life.

   She wants to go to a warehouse grunge party for her 24th birthday. He wants to keep up. Somewhere between the flannel shirt, the rain, the eyeliner, and the treacle tart, things get... messy.

   Post-Hogwarts. Post-other people. Pre-everything else.
   Emotional intimacy, poor decisions, and the kind of tension that doesn't clear up with the weather.

   Written for the HP Drizzle Fest.

   Prompt:
   Only Happy When It Rains - Garbage
   "I'm only happy when it rains
   I'm only happy when it's complicated
   And though I know you can't appreciate it
   I'm only happy when it rains"
