Re: Albus Severus Potter & Percy Weasley
Al returned to the centre only moments before Percy made his way to him. The air had been a welcome distraction, but now he was back in the thick of the people. Excitement, disappointment, fear, happiness, love, anger...he sensed all the emotions floating in the crowd. On one hand, the energy made him feel alive. On the other, it exhausted him.
He forced himself to focus on what his uncle was saying. He hadn't spoken to most of his family in a while not out of any malice, but because he was trying to do right by them. However, he smiled when Percy commented on the "bat" costume. "Oy! Not quite. I'll show you a comic sometime, Uncle Percy. I showed Uncle Ron video games once." He felt stupid then. Like Percy would be interested in that? "Uh, yeah, I am good. How are you? How's..." He glanced around. "I haven't seen Mr. Oliver."
