The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Christmas Eve from JB's Twitter (no news, just fun)
Dina:
Precisely, I think Harry won't accept Mister back unless he has a home of his own. And as I've read CE as he is living with the Carpenters, that is why I believe Mister is with Murphy.
I see nothing in CE that makes me believe they were visiting. In fact, I think Harry would have loved to have a Christmas alone with Maggie if he could. I don't think he could because I don't think he has a place to live. So my take is that PT left Harry poor and homeless again (if he still had the diamonds he would have paid for as many funerals/recoveries expenditures as he could, no need to wait for Christmas)

Mouse and Maggie lived with the Carpenters for months, not a problem, they are used to that. Having Harry for some weeks (or months) until he finds a place to live doesn't sound like too much of a stretch. It's hospitality.

She'll keep Maggie and Mouse forever.
Guests, like fish, start to stink after three days. And we won't dwell on the fact that Harry is a trouble magnet. Remember when the Pizza guy hid a bomb in a pizza? :o
I still like him for the BFS castle. Built in daycare and bodyguards. And you just know Skaldi Skjeldson would spoil her rotten. And if Mab and Molly have gone all Harry happy , he can probably get a stipend to help with the lease. ;)

I'm not so sure of that, given his losses and the emotional trauma the best thing he could have done for himself and Maggie would to have as normal a Christmas as possible. This is a lesson I learned the hard way, believe me. Also since his father died Harry has never celebrated a real Christmas, wouldn't know where to begin.. The important thing for him would be to give Maggie the best
Christmas he possibly could, so what better way then in the warmth and love of the Carpenter home, and we know Michael would welcome him and her with open arms, Charity as well if only for Maggie's sake.. So I really don't think we can read it as they are living there now unless of course another short story comes out and it's spring and Harry and Maggie are still there.

But in an event that kills thousands and injures tens of thousands, I'm guessing a lot of innocent bystanders that have nothing to do with the talks are going to die. One of them could be Murphy. Admittedly, it would be weird to knock off a main character like that.

As parents we bought several bikes over the years for our boys ranging from basic with training wheels to more complicated BMX and multiple speed bikes, from places like Wal Mart to the best bike shops in town, as they grew older, we never had to assemble anything.. If it is required, a bike shop will do it for you for a small fee or as part of the service... I'd say that Harry is doing this by choice.

My brother-in-law did mumble something about how much easier it had been to assemble my other nephew's bike.
Knowing Harry, I'd say he bought a bike that needed to be assembled because he had no idea what he was doing and either waited too long to get a bike or waited too long to open it and realize that it needed to be assembled.
