Order Only: Private message to Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley

[alt_bill]

Mum and Dad:

Percy's staying with me. He and Penny broke up last night. He was the instigator, frankly. I was hoping I could change his mind, but even after I spent the night arguing with him, he seems firm in his purpose.

I'm sorry. I tried.

Understood, son, and I don't blame you. It's more difficult to hide things when you live in a small flat as you do than at the Burrow. Although I doubt he'll want to move back to the Burrow, either.

No, I think he thinks that's below his dignity as Lucius Malfoy's clerk.

Good lord.

Well, we'll discuss it tonight.

Thank you for being on the front line on this, son.

Charlie helped, too. It just so happened he was staying with me on Friday night when Percy popped up on my journal, asking for a place to stay.

Charlie tried taking a more sympathetic tack, in the hopes that Percy might talk more freely with him about Malfoy. He did a good job of it, too.
