Tweak says, "Shut up, LOST is on!"

Who: Percy & Ron
What: Percy visits Ron's flat. And is APPALLED
Where: Ron's flat
When: Friday evening; before Weasley dinner and after the auction

Percy had been following the date auction and was pleased to see that his little brother was won by no one other than Hermione Granger. Percy thought that she was exactly what he needed to mature him. He was how old and still couldn't cook his own meals? Unacceptable.

Work ended. He decided a visit to Ron's flat was in order, just to check up on things. Then afterwards, they could go to dinner at the Burrow. It made perfect sense to Percy.

He landed in front of his place with a crack. It was rude to apparate directly into his living room, even if they were brothers. Percy made three loud raps on Ron's door.

"Ron! It's Percy!" He called. Oi, he hoped the kid was at least out of bed and not napping or something at this hour.

"Irresponsible?" Ron was indignant. "Excuse me? Do I not have a job? Do I not pay to rent my own flat? Do I not have clean clothes on?" His cheeks burned as red as his hair, and his anger burned hotter still. "I think my appearances are just fine. And you have a lot of nerve telling me I'll never get anywhere. What do I have to do to satisfy you, Percy? What will make me good enough to be your brother?"

This was slightly unfair, to be honest, because Ron really didn't resent any of his brothers, or his sister, anymore. He had grown up in that sense, and after losing Fred, he'd stuck really close with the rest of the Weasleys, hating the knowledge that they were missing one essential piece to their puzzle. But Ron had a temper, and with that temper came a lot of words he didn't mean, flying uncontrollably out of his mouth. He was also nervous about his date, and he didn't need another list of reasons why he'd probably ruin it.

	Percy blinked at Ron's outburst. He pursed his lips, watching him in silence. He was considering what to say next. Maybe his words were too harsh. "Well," he began, his tone serious. "You could start by not screwing up your date with Hermione." A joke. A small, tiny joke. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Percy..." Ron said, the warning tone in his voice giving way to more of an exasperated sigh. "I'm not planning to screw it up, you know. I would actually like this to go well. But now you've got me worrying about my cleaning charms and all of that. Why do you do that? I don't want to focus on cleaning right now, I've got to sort out what to wear and what to talk about on a date!"

	Percy got up. "Well, maybe if you had all this muck sorted though, you could find something to wear," he grumbled, flinging up his arms in exasperation. "But if you want to borrow one of my suits, I'd be glad to lend you one. They're probably cleaner pressed than yours, if you manage to find it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A suit?!" Ron was even more horrified by the thought of formal wear than by the thought of cleaning charms. "I have to wear a suit to a museum?!" (Reply to this) (Parent)
