Who: Percy Weasley & OPEN TO ALL WEASLEYS (Biological and honourary)
What: Sunday Brunch at the Burrow
Where: The Burrow
When: November 9, 11 AM
Rating: PGish

In five years, Percy had yet to miss Sunday Brunch with his family. After the regretful events of the past, and the loss of Fred, he had promised to himself and his mother that he would come, and he always did, even when he was sick or tired due to a late night doing paperwork. Even when he felt at his worst and didn't want his family to see him that way, he came. Perhaps it was a sort of penance, or simply a man doing his duty - or perhaps it was nothing more than a boy's need to be with his Mum.

Whichever it was, there he was, as usual, trying to get his mother to allow him to help her in the kitchen while she proceeded to force him to sit at the table, declaring he was (again) far too thin and needed some good food in him. As he sat down, he was met by a knowing look from his father, as if to say You know better than to argue with her, why else do you think I spend so much time with my plugs?

As a heaping plate of food was placed before him, he sighed, but was thankful for small favours, for in the melee, at least neither of them had mentioned hearing about his little faux pas the morning before. The last thing he needed was a lecture from his Mum.

George also made a point of always making it home on Sundays, though he hadn't started doing it until about two years ago when he'd finally moved back to his flat full time after recovering. But since then he'd been the dutiful son and shown up to sound the morning, someimtes the day, with his parents and siblings. So when he got up that morning, he dressed in one of his less dramatic suits, much more laid back, but still keeping to his usual style. When he aparated into the yard, he strolled to the kitchen door and let himself in, saying hello to the three people in the kitchen already. He gave his mum a hug and shook his dad's hand before walking around behind Percy and giving him a hard clap on the shoulder. "Alright there, Percy?" he asked as he sat down opposite him at the table as a plate was placed in front of him. Unlike his parents, he was well aware of what Percy had done the other morning, and he gave his older brother a knowing look, but didn't say anything about it.

Ron was not particularly looking forward to this, but he had already missed it last week and he was certain that his mother was already fretting over him enough as it was. It also didn't help that he had missed the funeral too and that he hadn't been back home since Harry had died or seen his mother at all. Truthfully he didn't even want to come at all, but since the DA meeting he felt obliged to do what was right rather than what was easy because he'd already done enough of what was wrong to last him a lifetime. So it was about time to start mending the bridges he'd been burning down.

He arrived with a pop! on the lawn outside and it didn't surprise him too much that his mother looked outside to see who it was. He was already a bit late, so the fact that she came running out to him instead of letting him actually get into the door was not really very surprising but still a bit annoying. "Mum!" Ron muttered, as she encircled him with her arms. "Can't I at least come inside first?"

He should have expected what came next, the berating about not coming round or letting her take care of him or going to Harry's funeral or eating enough or being nice to Ginny (What?) or showing up to brunch or...well, it went on for a while and Ron sort of tuned it out once the food was placed in front of him because he was rather hungry. He found himself thinking about whether Hermione was going to show up or not instead of listening to her. "Hey," he said to his brothers and father through a mouthful of food.
