Journal - Percy Weasley
Today was a very intriguing day. I am very honoured to consider Minister Shacklebolt a friend of mine, and few things bring me more pride than the work I did for him in helping to bring the Ministry back to an institution that the people can rely upon - or at least put it on that path so that it may one day be such an institution. He is also a man who is very difficult to say no to. Our meeting today has left me much to ponder and consider.

[Private to Oliver]
What would you say if I told you that today I was offered an opportunity that is not given to many wizards, that isn't quite a promotion but has the feeling of one?

Also, are you still interested in having that dinner/meeting with me, yourself, and Melinda?

[Private to Penelope]
It seems you owe me dinner, though the Falcons are fortunate they weren't playing Puddlemere else the tables would surely be turned. Shall we pay up this weekend? I also wanted to pick your mind a little about something the Minister offered me today - I need some advice.

	This weekend suits me perfectly, actually. And as gratitude for not trying to shoehorn me into an Arrow shirt as penance or part of your bet, is there anything you'd like to try? A specific culinary or a dish that tickles your fancy? My ears always yours to bend, what's up? Is it a one or two glass of wine problem? One that requires a list or just need to talk it out?

	Excellent. And there was never any worry about putting you into an Arrows shirt - when Falmouth plays Puddlemere, however, you can be certain the stakes will be raised. With all the talk of curry, perhaps Indian? Definitely two-glass, and a list, and some of your expertise in the Muggle world - I shall explain further when we meet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Careful Weasley, them's fighting words and you know I can never resist a good bet. You would suit the Falcons colours. Perhaps in a nice, demure tie?
Good choice and I promise to go traditional. Nothing crazy.

Really? Thats quite some conversation. Its nothing that will have a negative impact on you and Lucy, is it? I don't want to know what it is until dinner but you two are fine, well?

You wound me with the lightness of your wager. I would insist upon your wearing a blouse or dress in Puddlemere colours for an entire week, at least! And traditional would be preferred, though I trust you implicitly.

I have yet to fully figure out the potential impact on my and Lucy's lives, but there are definitely pros and cons to be weighed. We are fine, no worries on that front. I am, however, glad of the timing - it would be difficult to process this decision I have ahead of me with Lucy running about. Should I bring the wine or do you have some already?

I can see I'm going to have to up my game when it comes to this bet! Luckily for you the Falcons colours make up the majority of wardrobe staples

How intriguing but I know you will make the right decision for both of you, whatever that might be. As talented and capable a wizard as you are, even your knowledge pales in comparison to your abilities as a father Perce. You speak of a conversation with Shacklebolt and your pride in working for him, savour those facts whilst you make your decision and don't be rushed.

Bring over a bottle, I can supply another and we can try both and call it an experiment.

	But Puddlemere colours are so much more flattering - you should be thankful that they will wollop the Falcons. You have always had such faith in me ~~did I ever deserve it?~~. I will attempt to do as you asked, and try not to be overly torn when I come over lest I be unpleasant company. An excellent idea, as always. Shall I see you tomorrow night then?

Oh thats it. When the Falcons trounce Puddlemere (and really, I will feel bad for Oliver) I'm going to see about borrowing the mascots outfit and enticing Lucy to join the Falcons with a familiar sounding mascot. You would look adorable with a falcon head.

Tomorrow at 7.30, say? You need never worry about being bad company. Its what friends are for - to listen, and perhaps get a little tipsy on a weekend since we're adults now.

	You wouldn't dare?! But then, I shouldn't worry as the Falcons will lose, at which point you will show up to your office the next week to find every piece of furniture transfigured into a piece of official Puddlemere merchandise. Perfect as always. And I seem to remember a certain pair of Prefects breaking rules and getting a little tipsy back in Hogwarts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Wouldn't I? We both know i would. Since you're so confident in Puddlemeres abilities, I look forward to watching you attempting to break into a wardsmiths office, I might even sell tickets to give the Puddlemere fans something to watch since it won't be their team storming to victory!

We were rather good at that ~~good at a lot of things I shouldn't mention, probably.~~.

	I am not worried at all. Why would I be worried? I have complete and utter faith in Oliver~~'s ability to bollocks things up when money and pride are on the line~~. Those were good days. So much has changed... but some things stay the same, and for some of those I am thankful. (Reply to this) (Parent)
