Who: Penelope Clearwater and Percy Weasley
Where: Starting outside the florist shop, Diagon Alley
When: Precisely noon
What: Catching up, sharing plans for the future.
Years. It was no exaggeration, Percy realised, when he tried to remember how long it had been since he'd seen Penelope, face to face. It had been years. Her last owl had arrived out of nowhere. He'd found it tucked between the pages of a Prophet. In the middle of muggle-borns being rounded up like cattle for the slaughterhouse, he was thankful she had sent him that owl to let him know she was leaving the Wizarding world.
Now she was back. Percy didn't know what to expect as he smoothed down his striped tie and shifted his weight from one leg to the other outside the florist shop. He was approximately seven minutes early, but time was the last thing on his mind. It was the changes time brought niggling his thoughts. How different would Penny be? How different would he seem to her? How awkward would the next hour or so to follow be? So much had changed between now and their seventh year at Hogwarts.
Percy had estranged himself from his family. Worked directly beneath the Minister of Magic. Seen the error of his ways. Fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. Resigned from his Ministry post. Watched Fred die. Taken a part-time job in a coffee shop. Quit that job to take over management of WWW in George's stead.
He chased out the cobwebs of his memory when the shop's doorbell jingled and there she was.
"Hi Penny," Percy greeted.
