"I had thought to tell Fred and George that I wanted to keep my old job, but... instead I think I'll wait and see. If they don't mention anything, then I'll assume I have my old job, but if they make some announcement, then I'll let them know my preference." Percy looked at Oliver for confirmation. "What do you think?"
Oliver's offer to be with him when (and if) he spoke to this brothers, gave Percy comfort. He thought that, being friends with the twins, Oliver could diffuse any arguments that might arise, if not avoid them altogether. "A third party mediator would be helpful." It also helped that said mediator was already sympathetic to his side. "You've always been a good friend."
Percy didn't realize it, but he was gazing at Oliver's lips while the thought of kissing him crossed his mind a second time.
