!status: incomplete, ^date: november 18 2003, character: angelina johnson, character: percy weasley

Who: Percy, Open to Weasleys (by birth or by affiliation)
What: Coming to grips with the news about Charlie
Where: The Burrow
When: November 18, 7pm
Rating: Bad language, etc.

Percy stood outside the Burrow's back door where he could still hear the clinking of pots and pans in the kitchen as Molly busied herself with dishes to stop herself from collapsing in grief. Everyone in the family had been contacted once St. Mungo's had been able to identify the body found in the charred wreckage of the Hogsmeade quidditch stands.

Percy, however, still could not believe the news. How could Charlie be dead? Charlie who had taught Percy how to fly a broom, who had taken him swimming in the summer when they were young, who had helped during Percy's first year of Hogwarts when he had been warring between loving independence and missing home.

He leaned against the house's shingles, feeling numb inside. He wanted a glass of firewhiskey - Merlin, he wanted a whole bloody bottle - to help him deal. His only solace was that he hadn't been there to see Charlie die.

Angie wasn't sure she should do be here. But rumors flew fast and furious these days whenever another body was found and this one hit close to home. She'd heard, something about a dragon tattoo, and considering how bad things were lately, who blamed her for thinking what she thought right away. But instead of owling George first, Angie just went for the Burrow. If she could see Molly and the family, it would put those fears to rest., and well, it had been some time since she'd visited. Despite Fred being gone and Angie no longer with George, the Weasley family had always felt like a second one to her. It only grew when Ginny joined the Harpies after she did. She'd been remiss not checking in more.

And to be extremely honest Angie's first hero-worship crush had been on Charlie Weasley. He'd always been action-oriented, sort of take charge and his interested in dragons was legendary even when they were all younger. That he went on to work with them was a given. That he had been killed and not by some dangerous creature was a shock.

Exhaling, Angie went up to the front door and hesitated. She pursed her lips and, following some instinct, instead went around back, where she found Percy. Just one look at him told her all she needed to know. "So it's really true then?"

The only thing keeping Percy from jumping at the voice was the numbness that kept him from fully reacting to anything. He looked over to Angelina and at first could do nothing but nod.

And then his manners kicked in. "Thank you for coming," he began pulling away from the wall and pulling himself up, putting on the perfect face of hospitality. "Mum is in the kitchen, though I don't know if she's ready yet to face visitors. She'll insist she is, but-" The sound of a loud clang and a hushed curse came from the window to the kitchen. "-well, you know." He stuffed his useless hands into his pockets to prevent them from waving about. "Would you care for something to drink? I... I'm not certain where George is at the moment."

The confirmation hit Angie like a sack of wet sand and she had to swallow down the sudden surge of grief. She stepped forward and after a moments hesitation laid a hand on Percy['s arm. "I know," she replied quietly. "I didn't just come for George though Percy. I'm here for me and for all of you."

She needed to be strong - the Weasleys had lost one son in the war, another to this murdering witch and even a son, not by birth, but one they treated as blood. Fred. Charlie. Harry. How could Angie not be here for all of them?

"I don't need anything. Do you?" She shook her head. "No one has to play host for me, hear?"
