Halloween Treat for Amorette
Gift for: amorettehd
From: kirasha
Title: Out of Place
Pairing: Hermione/Percy
Rating: G
Summary: Percy only notices when little things are out of place.
Notes: Happy Halloween, dearest! May this be just one little treat in a day filled with little treats.
It started with a cup of tea one blustery September afternoon. A cup of tea, brewed perfectly to his taste, – not too hot, not too cold, squeeze of lemon, dash of milk – was left on his desk each afternoon following.
Percy couldn't remember making such a request of his assistant.
After a few weeks, tea began to be accompanied by other items. First was a nice quill set. Then came the treatise on international flying carpet laws that he'd been seeking for months to settle a bet with Charlie. The biography of a prominent muggle Prime Minister came after that.
Percy grew perplexed.
“Sounds like you have an admirer,” Bill concluded when they spoke at the next family dinner.
“Nonsense.”
“Why is it nonsense?” Hermione asked, overhearing the conversation. “Did you not like them?”
“Well, yes. I did. Very much so. But any sensible person would just speak up.”
“Oh Percy,” Hermione laughed softly. “I did, but every time, you seemed convinced I was saying anything else. You focused on the big pictures, I had to put something small out of place to get your attention.”
“Then you sh- ...you? Truly?”
“Help me clear this table for your mother. We'll talk about a first date.”
