Author's Notes: The happiest of holidays to you,
chemical_haven! I loved your "deleted scenes" prompt so much and thought long and hard about how the boys could have possibly met during seventh year. Alas, all that thinking about camp-outs in forests led to this odd little tale. I managed to work in some of your kinks and do hope you enjoy.
Many thanks to my beta B, who went far beyond the call of duty and love to whip this story into shape.
