Penny blinked, looking blankly at Percy when he asked her if she thought that she might need to use a Patronus. She hadn't thought of it that way. Her life was pretty uneventful, living amongst muggles. Why would she need it?
In the back of her mind she still had fears of what the Minister of Magic could or might do to the muggles, including the Prime Minister. Percy had insisted that the Germany take over was done without force, peacefully. But she remembered what Ginny had told as well. They were slaughtered. She wanted to believe Percy but if he was wrong, then she could be in danger if the same happened at 10 Downing Street?
"It's more of a want Percy, not a need. Besides, what sort of respectable witch can't produce a Patronus? I want to know what mine is," she said with a smile, not adding any fears that she had.
