I found that book you Floo-called me about last night. I'll be meeting Dad for lunch, and can hand it off to him then, so he can give it to you tonight.

Glad the internship is going well, little bro.

Exactly, Mum.

Well, I never! So the Weasley best isn't enough for the likes of snobbish Lucius Malfoy?!

Don't be hacked off about it, Mum. And you'd certainly better not let on to Percy about it.

But it stands to reason, really, that his wardrobe wouldn't be quite the thing. After all, Ottery St Catchpole is hardly a hotbed of fashion.

I'm just a bit ashamed that I didn't think of it myself and offer to help before he started.

I should have thought of it myself.

I think Bill's right, Molly. My instinct says that we do need to tread carefully right now. Percy's pride is his weak point, yes, but things would be easier if he doesn't feel the need to chafe so much at the differences between what he is and what he wants to be.

Oh, Arthur, I have been biting my tongue. You know I have. Although it all but slays me to keep my comments to myself when he comes home talking of how this internship is just what he needs because it will mean he'll meet all the right sort of people!
