Percy had never had so many people in his flat before. Which wasn't really saying much since, before this evening, he had never had more than two other people in his flat at one time - Oliver and Charlotte when they came over. So to have a good half of his family all there was a bit overwhelming. It made him want to tidy things, although he had already done that before they had all arrived. Everything was spotless - shocking - and nearly arranged.
He had transfigured his table into a longer one, with places set for everyone - one for Ginny at the head, as the guest of honour. Bobbing balloons were tied to the back of the chair and floating above. Percy wasn't sure what he thought of balloons, but he knew people enjoyed them on birthdays. Food was warming in the kitchen, waiting for her arrival. Everything was prepared, as far as Percy was aware, although he kept checking.
As he had arranged, the others had arrived around seven. Proper and polite as always, Percy had offered drinks - he had water, pumpkin juice, Butterbeer and wine.
Glancing at the clock on the wall, he noticed the time. "She should be arriving at any moment," he noted.
