Percy was surprised by Lisa's question. He was so used to people knowing most details about his family that it was... quite refreshing to meet someone who actually had to ask. "I have five brothers and one sister, but one of my brothers isn't with us anymore - he died in the Battle a few years ago." He had never been tempted to amend his statement and say he had four brothers. Fred was always a presence at Percy's shoulder, even in death.
"They're quite lucky there aren't any gnomes in the garden, or else they could have gotten bitten for their troubles," he added with a small chuckle.
"Lucy takes piano lessons, and has regular play dates with her cousins and the Fawley twins, my friend Alicia's children. There is no community centre per se, but I believe there is an attempt in the works to arrange for a regular parent-child event at Finnigan's. That could be helpful."
