Who: Justin and Percy What: Courting When: Early Monday Evening Where: Percy's flat at Zonko's Rating: Hm.
Justin was moving a bit slower than usual, his body still becoming accustomed to the training he was doing with the aurors. It was hard work, but it was good work, and he felt good about it, felt like he was a step closer to doing something. Also, the physical activity allowed him to work out some of his aggression, and as a result, he was feeling a lot more at ease. Yes, this way was better.
Now he was going to see Percy, which he found lifting his spirits more. He hadn't seen much of the older man since their relocation to Hogsmeade, and Justin felt they were overdue for a second date. He'd enjoyed the first, even considering how it could've been destroyed by the curse Michael had unleashed upon them. It hadn't been, though, and Justin was glad.
He stepped into Zonko's, using the entrance for the living space above, and found Percy there waiting for him. A smile tugged his lips at the sight of unruly ginger hair. "Pretense or not," he said, offering the copy of Witch Weekly he'd been carrying under his arm, "I still thought you might like to see it. It's worth a good laugh."
