"Oh!" Lucy said, her face looking as if she'd just had an epiphany. "Like how Mummy goes out to dinner with Mister Longfellow and stays out really, really late, and sometimes he comes home too and-"
"He what?!" Percy was on the verge of interrogating her to find out more about this man, not because of any romantic jealousy (because he frankly couldn't care less) but because he wanted to know who was this man who was being introduced into his daughter's life. "I mean, yes, it does sound like he and your mother are going on a date," he managed through grit teeth.
"But, do I have to have a date too?" Lucy asked with a face full of confusion.
This one Percy felt quite comfortable answering. "Not everybody likes to have dates. Your Uncle Charlie here doesn't, and he's a perfectly happy and wonderful person. In fact, Lucy, I don't think you should even think of dates until you've long graduated from Hogwarts." With any luck, anyway.
"So, Charlie, will you be attending the raffle? Or are you working? It would be nice to see you there, even if we both know you don't need a date," he added with a chuckle.
