Merriam James belong to me, the rest are JK Rowling's, as you all know. I'm
on a Merriam kick so bear with me. Plot's mine, enjoy!
Percival Arden Weasley was a successful career man. He made loads of money and he wasn't looking too bad at all. His family was now respected and well off. The only problem with his life was that it was devoid of social interaction. He got up, got dressed, went to the office, yelled at people all day, and then went home. He continued this routine 6 days a week and the 7th was used for one of two things, paper work, or catching up with his family.
Bill was happily married to Rachel Knese Weasley and had 5 kids, William Jr., Ryan, Nancy Carie, Kathryn, Elisabeth, and Molly. Charlie was also happily married to Hannah Han Weasley and had 7 kids, Genevieve, John, James, Thomas, Edward, and Laurie. Fred and George were married to Katie Bell Weasley and Angelina Johnson Weasley and they were both expecting their first children, twins! Ron and Hermione had tied the knot and had 2 kids, Egan and Merriam. Harry and Ginny were engaged though no one else in the family knew it yet, fun fun!
Percy was the only one who hadn't found that someone yet. It drove Mrs. Weasley to distraction and she was constantly trying to set him up. He wasn't interested. He had a nice flat, great job, and thousands of doting employees waiting for his command. He didn't think he needed anything more.
It was one of those rare Sundays that he wasn't doing paper work. He had agreed to take Egan and Merriam to the park so Hermione and Ron could celebrate their anniversary in peace. They had just gone to the ice cream parlor and the toy store so they were both carrying toys and ice-cream cones.
He was just about to break Egan and Merriam's fight when, suddenly a beautiful woman met his gaze. She was tall, very tall with long legs. She wasn't super-skinny but toned. She had reasonably wide hips that swayed when she walked. She had beautiful brown curls that went a tiny bit farther then her shoulders. Her hair also had a bit of red in it so it caught the sunlight in a very becoming way. She was reading a book, perfect for Percy right, and eating an apple. Feeling the eyes on her back she turned to Percy, she had the brightest blue eyes that he'd ever seen.
She started walking over to him. She closed her book and tossed the apple core in the garbage before getting to Percy. "Hello, can I help you with something?" she asked looking skeptically at Percy. He closed and opened his mouth several times before getting a word out.
"I was just entranced by how beautiful you are Ms.," he answered clumsily.
"Oh, well thankyou. You're very, err, pretty yourself. My names Merriam James, what's yours?" she asked, eyeing Egan and Merriam.
"Oh, Percy Weasley. These are my niece and nephew, Merriam and Egan," he said blushing to the roots of his hair.
"That's a very pretty name, Merriam, it's always been one of my personal favorites. So this is your uncle, is he always this articulate?" she said to Merriam.
"If articulate means clumsy and stupid, then yes, he is. Takes after my brother here," Merriam said, she had always been very smart and witty despite her young age of 5. Percy and Egan glared at her. She had always taken after Hermione brain wise.
"She's cute," Merriam James said. "Does she get that from your side of the family?" she asked, a playful smile playing her lips.
"Nope, all from my mum's," Merriam Weasley said.
"Oh, look at the time. We better be getting to Grandmum and Granddad's house," Percy said, pretending to look down at his watch. Trust his niece to mess things up for him. He'd be talking to his dear old brother about how much she was reading and how she should be going outside sometimes to "dumb down" a bit.
"Wait, I'd like to meet you again, without your niece, just us. I'd like to get to know you. It doesn't matter to me that you're clumsy and stupid," she laughed. 'Great laugh," Percy thought to himself.
"That would be great, here's my address," he said handing it to her.
"Isn't that a wizarding community?" she asked without thinking.
"Oh, yes, are you a witch?" Percy asked a bit relieved.
"Yeah, thank goodness you're a wizard. I was pretty clumsy and stupid myself."
A/N- I know it's short but how do you like it? I thought it was cute, what do you think?
