Percy sat by the window, a book open on his lap but left unread while his attention was on the piano on the other side of the room. Lucy was practicing her scales, and though he often pretended for her sake that he was busy reading, he much preferred watching and listening to her. Her tiny fingers tickled along the ivory pieces, at times tentative and others confident, yet despite her youth, he could already hear the makings of an excellent pianist.

Lucy's piece finished and Percy stopped pretending to read his book long enough to applaud her work. She turned around and gave him a glare, reminding him that he was supposed to be 'reading'. He pretended an apologetic look and went back to his act, allowing her to get back to her music. His mother had once seen that look on Lucy's face and told him it was exactly the look he used to give the twins.

He supposed the apple really did fall close to the tree.

Charlie had spent much of the day catching up on bits and pieces around the flat before doing some grocery shopping and spending time playing with a delighted Echo. The beauty of his off-days being week days meant that things were usually open when he wanted them.

He gave Percy a while to get home from work and settled and then headed over to his house, apparating in close to the front door an knocking. Hopefully between them they could get him suitably dressed for the event. He could just hear a few plinks of the piano keys as he waited and grinned, knowing that had to be Lucy and not Percy.

Lucy's playing paused when the knock came at the door. "Who's that, Daddy?" she asked with wide-eyed curiosity.

"Ah, I believe that should be Uncle Charlie here to-" Before he'd even finished speaking, she jumped up from the piano bench and sprinted to the front door.

He took his time getting up, already hearing the door being pulled open with a loud Uncle Charlie!, and he had no doubt that Lucy was currently throwing herself at her uncle for a hug and maybe a pick up off the ground. Whatever his problems with his siblings in the past, they were all loving to Lucy, and Percy couldn't ask for anything more.

He stepped into the hall and looked toward them, a fond smile upon his face. "Good evening, Charlie. I see you've been properly greeted. How was your day?"

	"It should be a fantastic event, and it's a great cause," Charlie agreed, with a nod. He grinned at Percy's request. "I'm sure I can manage that. Hopefully there won't be a clash, because I love spending time with all of my nieces," he said, blowing gently on the back of Lucy's ear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
