HP drabble: It's Lovely Rice Pudding for Dinner Again [Percy, general]
Title: It's Lovely Rice Pudding for Dinner Again
Author: celandineb
Fandom: HP
Character: Percy
Rating: general
Summary: Percy's favorite has always been rice pudding the way that his mother made it...
Note: The title is from the poem "Rice Pudding" by A.A. Milne.
Percy's favorite has always been rice pudding the way that his mother made it, thick, not too sweet, fragrant with cinnamon, raisins scattered throughout like buried treasure.
He never learned how to make it. During the years of his estrangement from his family, Percy tried the rice pudding in every café he could find, bought it from every Muggle market, but it was never quite right.
When Percy shamefacedly went to Sunday dinner at the Burrow, a fortnight after Fred's funeral, his mother made rice pudding, and Percy clenched his fists, nails cutting into his palms, to stop the tears.
