Characters: Percy Weasley, Penelope Clearwater
Private/Public: Private
Location: Clearwater Clinic
Rating: PG

Summary: Percy takes the feather to Penelope for her take on the entire situation.
Completion: Complete

Percy stepped into Penelope’s clinic, nodding a greeting to the parrot who squawked as he entered. “Percy Weasley to see Miss Clearwater.” He told the bird formally.

As he unwound his scarf, Percy contemplated everything he had to do before tomorrow morning. The Hit Wizards had come to his office during a small staff meeting, with Percy telling Nathan and Gretchen what they would need to follow up on while he was gone.

Reynolds handed Percy the feather, closed up in a bag, and asked that he take it to Penelope for analyzing. Percy immediately agreed, sensing Reynolds’ frustration over the meager clues they had on the case. As soon as the meeting wrapped up, Percy was on his way to Hogsmeade, hoping he wouldn’t catch Penelope when she was horribly busy.

She had been searching for one of her old text books from the Artemis Institute when Penelope stumbled across a box of her notes back when she was studying in Greece. The morning had been quiet at the clinic, and so Penelope, being a complete pack-rat and hopelessly nostalgic, pulled the box free and began to rile through her notes behind her desk.

Penelope came across one carefully bound bit of parchment and she smiled as she unrolled it all. Suddenly her memories of Greece came rushing back.

In a small class of ten - five witches and five wizards - Professor Lysander Merukides stood in front of his large blackboard and began his lesson. The class was of a special group of students; only the brightest, most dedicated were accepted, but they also had to have one other ability which not all witches and wizards who handled creatures have. The gift of listening.

"As you well know, this course is dedicated to the study and application of Zoological Legilimency. It is a branch of magic which very few will ever succeed fully in, but most who practice it can harness the basics which will allow you to become better creature specialists."

Penelope had sat in on the edge of her seat, her quill scratching furiously across the parchment as she took her notes, her heart bouncing in her chest with excitement over this new subject.

Smiling as she flipped through more parchment, she came across her Legilimency journal which students had to keep to record their findings as they practiced the magic. Penelope read the notes on her third attempt, which she had actually connected with the hippocampus who's tail fin had been injured. She had managed to extract the creature's memory of getting too close to a muggle fishing boat.

"Excellent work, Miss Clearwater. Simply excellent," Professor Merukides had told her after she broke the connection with the hippocampus.

Penelope had to sit down after the connection, which her Professor had been ready for.

"Yes, the connection can drain you depending on the creature's mind. This one was rather ornery when we pulled him from the sea," he told her, handing her a glass of water.

"How do you feel, Penny?" one of her classmates asked, in awe since he had not been able to make the connection yet.

"Tired," Penelope had responded with a laugh. "But...amazing. Like I was the creature and not me," she explained.

"Wicked," her classmate responded, to which their Professor had chuckled.

"Indeed it is, but you must remember for that reason there are those situations which you must not attempt the connection..."

Professor Merukides' voice dissipated quickly when Congo croaked that she had a visitor. Penelope shook her head, then looked up. She swallowed and hastily put her notes away when she saw it was Percy, then scowled as a dirty streak of dust had transferred onto her pristine Healer's robes.

"Good morning," she greeted Percy brightly after performing a quick scourifying charm. Penelope hadn't realized she had another streak of dust on her nose.

Obviously Penelope was distracted. Percy gave her a small smile, clearing his throat and touching his own nose with a gloved hand. "You missed a bit."

He stepped closer, pulling the gloves off and stashing them into his pocket. "Been a slow day?" He glanced around the quiet clinic. "I wanted to tell you that Iris seems to be doing better. We "talk" every morning now so she's settling a bit."

"And I've had another interesting encounter with the mystery owl."
