Hey. Here is another assignment for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Challenges and Assignments. It's also for Muggle Studies. It's a little bit of Percy fluff. I hope you all enjoy."Your thinking about it again," came the voice behind Percy.
Percy jumped at the sound of Penelope Clearwater's voice behind. He hadn't thought that she'd be in this hallway. She had said she was going to be near the Ravenclaw hallway. Hadn't she?
"Thinking about what?" he asked in his usual no nonsense way.
She giggled. "You know what I mean Perce. It's alright. Everyone has a hidden weakness."
He laughed a little nervousness shinning through the laugh. "I don't have any hidden weaknesses, Penny," he told her. The lie coming easily off his tongue. "If I did you'd know it."
"Whatever you say," she said rolling her eyes as she walked down the hall.
He waited until she was well out of sight to continue his walk. His destination in sight. He smiled to himself at the thought of it. The pure bliss it brought to him. He stopped short as a light shone through the doorway of his destination. He stopped short as heard voices coming from the room. His pulse quickened as a hand came down on his shoulder.
"Who do think is in there?" asked the voice attached to the hand.
He sighed as he turned toward the other Gryffindor Prefect. "Don't sneak up on me like that," he whisper hissed. "I'll go find out Hillary. Why don't you swing by the library wing?"
"Sure thing, Percy," she said rushing off to do as he told her.
He made sure, yet again, that he was alone in the hallway. He then turned back toward the doorway he was determined to get through tonight. Two figures appeared in the doorway one was carrying a sack over his or her shoulder.
"Thank God Percy isn't here," said the all to familiar voice of his brother Fred.
"I know," came George's voice. "He'd probably write us up or something."
"Can he do that?"
"He thinks he can."
The twins walked off taking their haul with them. He really should have revealed himself and given them a write up. Then again what would he tell them was the reasoning behind his being there. Especially in that particular area of the castle. He sigh to himself as he made his way through the doorway into the kitchens.
The house elves didn't stop there work in cleaning up after the feast. They must be used to students sneaking into the kitchens. He was just getting used to being one of said students. Percy jumped again as a pop sounded behind.
"Mr. Weasley," said the squat house elf named Parsley, "we set this aside just for you." She held out a plate with his favorite dessert on it. Strawberry Shortcake. "Please enjoy."
Percy sat down at the small table and slowly ate his cake. He was so busy enjoying his secret temptation that he didn't hear the footsteps behind him.
"I don't have any hidden weaknesses, Penny," came Penelope Clearwater's voice mimicking his own. She then broke down into a fit of giggles as Percy continued to eat.
There you have it. I hope you all enjoyed the story.
