Chapter OneMilly

Ever since the final showdown at Hogwarts, the Weasleys had become a closer family. It's not that they weren't close before, it was that now Percy was back in the fold. Percy had expected grief for his "betrayal;" whether it be in arguments or in teasing, he expected it. Much like everyone else, though, he didn't know when. Much like everyone else, he'd expected George and Fred to be there to torment and tease him, not just George. They had all watched as George became holed up in his room, only coming out to get meals and for Fred's funeral. They didn't find out until two months after Fred's death that George had continued on with the business of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, sending his staff parcels of everything they made every week, the most popular items twice a week or as needed. When Ron had asked why, George had just shrugged. Fred wouldn't have wanted it to stop, we both knew people would need a laugh now more than ever. After eight months he had come out of his room with a smile, seen Percy and turned grim. So you've come crawling back? Everyone in the room had turned to where George was standing, and Percy had started wringing his hands. It's about time you stupid git! George had said laughing the whole time, punching him lightly in the arm.

That's when the Weasley family knew that it was time to go on living without forgetting.

A few months later Charlie came home, saying that he was getting serious with one of the nurses he had met at St. Mungo's hospital, and wanted to be closer to her. He got a job at the ministry and lived in the Burrow for a while. So everyone was back, either living in the Burrow, or, in Bill's case, coming for Friday dinner and Sunday brunch. It was when Ron and Hermione announced that they were getting married that Mrs. Weasley started to panic. The only one who didn't have someone to "make grandbabies with" as she put it was Percy. Which meant that Percy became a main target of Molly Weasley's attentions.

At first, none of the Weasley clan knew what Molly was doing. Ginny and Hermione were busy planning the wedding, Bill and Fleur were busy still being in their honeymoon stage. Ron and Harry (who Molly had made clear years ago was part of the family) were busy trying not to anger Hermione, who was stressed from planning the wedding. Charlie was always off doing work or wooing his nurse. George was running the shop. Percy was working doing Lord knows what at the ministry. Molly however, was kept busy, and no one knew what she was doing. Whenever anyone asked what was keeping her busy, she would just mutter "I have a deadline to keep up with."

It wasn't until one Friday night dinner six months before the wedding did they find all find out.

"Hermione, be a dear and get that pie out of the oven, I just can't focus tonight." Molly said, speeding her wand up to chop the lettuce in front of her faster. Hermione walked over the oven quickly, opening it before Molly interjected "No, no, use your wand."

Ginny laughed as Hermione nervously produced her wand. Last time she had tried to get a pie out of the oven she had dropped it on her head. "Molly, why are you so flustered tonight?" Hermione asked, trying to get her distracted enough so that she could give Ginny the signal to pull it out for her.

Molly smiled to herself, moving the lettuce in to a large bowl. "That's a surprise. Ginny, be a dear and go call Percy, make sure he gets here on time." Ginny shot Hermione an apologetic look as she walked out. "Tell him to look presentable!"

"Tell who to look presentable?" Ron asked. He walked in, Harry trailing behind him, seeing Hermione trying to get the pie out walked far out of range. "Do I have to look presentable? Cause Mum, our views of presentable are completely different, and I think I look quite dashing." He walked over to Hermione, who had gotten the oven open. "Hello love." He kissed her on the cheek, looked to make sure his Mom's back was turned and moved the pie with his wand himself.

"No, Ron, you don't have to look presentable, just passable. And stop helping Hermione. What is she going to do if you're out of town for work?" Molly asked, slapping him lightheartedly on the arm.

"Where's Ginny?" Harry asked, before Hermione could interject her opinion.

"Right here." George said, entering the kitchen followed by Ginny, who sat by Harry. "What's for dinner Mum, I'm starved."

"When's Percy going to get here?" Molly asked, ignoring George.

Ginny shrugged. "His secretary said he had just left. That he was going to stop at home for a few minutes just to drop some things off, then coming straight here."

"And here I am." Percy said, coming in through the hallway. He gave his mother a kiss, but before he could get away she pulled him back to stand in front of her. "Mum, what in the world are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm fixing you up. You look a right mess." She fixed his hair quickly with a flick of her wrist, then tucked his shirt in with another. "A guest is coming tonight, I just want you to look nice."

"Look nice? Why am I the only one who has to look nice?" Percy asked.

"Where are Fleur and Bill? I know Charlie said he might be a little late." Molly muttered, flicking her wrist towards a pile of vegetables.

"Molly, dear, please calm down." Arthur said. "Milly said she would be here shortly, just had to file some things for Girsel."

Molly beamed, "How delightful. I'm so glad she could make." She bustled everyone standing to the table, dumping the chopped vegetables in to the salad and bringing it with her.

"Who's Milly?" George asked, waving to Bill and Fleur who just walked in.

"Just someone who I work with in the office." Arthur said. "Your mother wanted me to invite her."

Everyone looked at each other, silently questioning if any of them knew what was going on. There was a knocking at the door and Molly squealed. "Oh, that should be her, everyone sit down please. Thank you." Molly ran out which left everyone to finally talk.

"Why is Mum bringing your co-workers to eat with us?" Ginny asked.

"Well I-"

"Do you think she's making up for only havin' one daughter?" Bill asked.

"No she 'az tree." Fluer said huffily.

They heard chatter from the hallway and George hurriedly said, "So, we have a new product on the line. Truly excited about it. Screaming Jellies. You pop one in your mouth and-"

"Everyone," Molly said, interrupting George midsentance. "This is Milly."

"Hullo." Milly said, giving a small wave. She was a small girl, with Asian features who was in Muggle clothes. She had dark eyes and hair, and red glasses that made the deep brown stand out. She started playing with a strand of pearls nervously as the Weasley clan gave her a once over.

Molly coughed very deliberately, startling everyone and making them all say hello in unison. "Why don't you go sit by Percy, scoot your chair over please, George dear. Thank you." She pulled a chair out for Milly who sat, still fiddling with her pearls. "Well, dig in." Molly said, clapping her hands together as she sat down.

As people started serving themselves, George continued on. "So anyway, Screaming Jellies. I have a feeling they'll be a new favorite among the Wheezes fan base. You pop them in your mouth and you start screaming like a banshee. I plan on trying to figure out how to make them say things soon."

"You're George Weasley?" Milly asked, finally losing her nervous demeanor. "I mean I knew you were a Weasley, but you're George? My little brother loves your stuff. He's quite the little troublemaker around our town. He can't help it, though. He particularly fancies the Headless Hats. He isn't supposed to, but during Halloween he walks around town with it on, all the Muggles give him copious amounts of candy because of it. Think the hat is being held up by a wire."

George smiled broadly. "Those were my idea. I'm glad he gets a kick out of them. If you give me his address I could send him a pack, free of charge."

Before Milly could answer Molly turned toward Percy, "Milly works with your father, Percy, isn't that lovely? What do you do again dear?"

"Oh, well I just sort through stuff, do some scouting for new items. Its because my Da was Muggle-born. A computer analyist. So I know a lot about both worlds really." She said nervously, obviously not liking being put on the spot.

"See Percy isn't that lovely? You and Milly have so much in common, working for the Ministry and all." Molly said, smiling at Percy.

"Uh, yeah. Real nice." Percy said, quite confused by his mother's behavior. "So do you travel a lot with your job and all?" Percy asked, but Milly was deep in conversation with George who was moving his hands around in excited gestures.

On the other side of the table Ron, Arthur, Ginny, Hermione, and Harry were deep in conversation. "I think Mum is trying to set Percy up." Ginny whispered.

"Well, she was talking about grandbabies again yesterday." Ron added.

"Well, I think your mother just wants to see all of you happy." Arthur said, nodding towards the mashed potatoes. "Pass those over here, Harry. There's a lad."

"Well, why not bring two girls, then?" Harry asked.

"Cause she figures Percy is the oldest. Ron already ruined the order. It should have been Bill, Charlie, then Percy." Hermione said. "And I figure she's just happy Charlie's getting serious enough to move back home for her. Now she's just waiting for a proposal."

"Hello everyone." Charlie called out. "Wicked day at the office, some girl decided she wanted a dragon and-" Charlie walked in and saw Milly and stopped talking. "Oh, hello."

"Hello." Milly said, turning back to continue her talking.

"George, dear, make room for Charlie." Molly said, moving some empty dishes to the sink.

George stood up, pulling Milly's chair out. "Well, Mum, dinner was great but Milly and I were gonna head out. I was gonna take her over to the store so we could get some stuff for her brother."

"Oh," Molly said dejectedly, frowning. "Alright then. Feel free to come back anytime, Milly."

"Of course, thank you for dinner." Milly was able to manage before George grabbed her hand and they disappeared.

"Mum, what was that about?" Percy asked. "We never invite people over unless it's a big occasion."

Molly Weasley stood up, ignoring his question entirely. "Who wants pie?"

Percy sighed standing up. "I've got work I have to catch up on, Mum. I'll see you Sunday." He got up nodding to everyone and Apparated.

"Are you trying to set Percy up with someone, Mum?" Ginny asked.

"Eez it because ou want more girlz en ze family?" Fluer asked.

"No, no, no. If I explain it to any of you for all I know it'll turn up in the Daily Prophet." She walked towards the back door, opening it and calling out, "Serve the pie yourselves."

"Oh yeah." Ron said, "She's definitely trying to set him up with a lady."

This is partially based off a conversation I had with a friend, it started off with us talking about how Percy was back in the Weasley folds and how he would maybe loosen up some. She also edited it, so go check out her stuff. Much better then mine. She is LoverFaery. Really, go check it out, she is ten times the writer I am.
