ooc: character introduction

Intro the 2nd
Hey all! Jaime here again with my 2nd character, the ever-Percyish Percy Weasley. Feel free to take a look at his bio, which I've strived to keep from turning into a novel, but here are some of the more pertinent facts:

Percy is mostly the same old stick-up-his-arse Ministry man, though somewhat tempered by his experiences up till the end of the last war. He was monumental in getting many of the Death Eaters and sympathizers who had taken over the Ministry put in Azkaban thanks to his recording every detail of everything he witnessed and making copies of every document he could get his hands on. He was also a member of Minister Shacklebolt's reform team, and is now deputy head of the Department of Magical Transportation and Director of Broom Regulation Control.
Percy has a 6 year old daughter named Lucy who is the apple of his eye and the one person guaranteed to make his face light up. Lucy's mother and Percy aren't exactly on good terms - they were only together the once for a drunken hookup the night after Fred's funeral (a night Percy wanted to be anyone but himself and acted very un-Percylike) - but they at least agree mostly about Lucy's welfare and manage to remain civil enough to agree on custody arrangements. I've deliberately left details about Lucy's mother vague so that anyone can step in, if they're interested! (The more potentially embarrassing a link the better, imo!)
Percy's a frequent enough visitor at Finnigan's when he doesn't have Lucy with him - he cheers for Puddlemere United, is super-competitive at the pub quiz, and brushes up on his defensive skills at the Duelling Club. He also enjoys watching wizarding chess matches.

Am very excited to bring my Percy here! Feel free to poke me with plottages of all kind - I'd love friends, rivals (especially on the pub quiz), etc etc. Am also open to most ideas, so hit me up!

JAIME!!! It's Sarah (aka

bodysaysno) from a lot of things, and I'm excited to see your Percy again! Aaaaand so is my Oliver, who adores him to bits! I think he tried to get him to come out of his shell some at Hogwarts, though not as bad as the twins (and he probably admonished them sometimes for the stunts they pulled...unless they were hilarious XD). They are the same year, so I'd like to think they knew each other pretty damn well from being in the same dorm for 7 years. He was at Fred's funeral too, so he definitely understands why he would have gotten a bit messed up, ahem. Though he's got no children of his own (thank god for the world).

BASICALLY THEY ARE FRIENDS THE END I DUN CURRRR

Hey Sarah! Awesome to see you and Oliver here! I've got some head!canon for Oliver & Percy, so why don't I throw some of it out and you tell me what sticks for you and your Olli?

Oliver was lucky enough to see Percy without his younger siblings around for 2 years, so he saw the somewhat lighter and "capable of being casual on occasion" side of Percy. They may have bonded over quidditch (Percy's cheered for Puddlemere since he was young, but never too vocally around the Burrow - one of many things he tended to keep to himself). And yeah, seeing each other day after day at school.

Especially after reading Oliver's bio, I have this image of Percy one day sitting him down and going "Oliver, we need to talk about your grades because I don't want to take the risk of them not letting you play anymore because you're the best keeper we have. Now, if you like, we can institute a study regimen that would compliment your training regimen to allow you maximum time for flying, schoolwork, and yes, personal time as well because I know that's important to you and I wouldn't have you do otherwise..."

I sense they sort of drifter apart in the immediate years after school, especially with the break in the WEasley family, but maybe reconnected after the battle? Percy would have appreciated seeing Oliver there at the funeral, for sure. And I think he wouldn't have anyone else show his daughter how to fly a broom :D

	All of this sounds great! That was pretty much what I had seen for them as well. He LOVES kids, especially girls, and he will insist Lucy call him Uncle Ollie and he'll happily teach her to ride a broom and play tea party and all that. He's great with kids because he IS a big kid lol. (Reply to this) (Parent)
