A/N: This freeverse was inspired from Don't Mess With The Witches where I had introduced the story of Padma and Mr Scruffy, so this is for honurarymarauder who left a wonderful review and asked what happened to these characters. I hope you like it. Please R&R. P.S I hadn't decided who to make Mr Scruffy until the end. And I don't actually mind it. Percy/Padma is quite sweet - what do you think? xx
