Re: James/Percy
Percy's eyebrows arched slightly at the all-too-familiar voice. At least one Potter had turned out to be a survivor after all.
"Thanks for that tip, having been born yesterday, I am exceedingly stupid," he said with a playful chiding in his voice at the suggestion of how to cover his lips and a big enough grin for Jamie to see but small enough so not to attract attention.
"Your aunt is in Azkaban and has been there since mid-June. It's had the serendipitous effect of making You-Know-Who and his lot to think I'm too worried about her safety to attempt anything subversive, which isn't to say I'm not being monitored. Fortunately, there are enough Death Eaters around those assigned to watch me have decided to enjoy the party."
He took a long sip from the glass. "Nice job with the speeches. You just might make a halfway decent politician after all."
