His Brother's Loves

The pyjama pants hit him the small of the back.

"Put those on." Penny ordered. "Hermione has no desire to see you naked."

"You mean see Percy naked." he replied.

"Either of you."

"I bet I know who she does want to see." He said slipping the trousers on.

"Perhaps I have already." Hermione replied.

He paused, looking into the Hermione's face.

"You?" He said. "You seduced him!"

He punched the air. "Way to go icckle Ronnikins."

"This isn't about Ronald." Penny interjected. "This is about you and Percy."

"If you are who Penny claims you are."

"Who could I be Hermione?"

"You could simply be a figment of Percy's imagination." She replied. "A sub-conscious response the guilt he feels at not saving Fred.'

Penny nodded "I thought of that too Hermione. But he's just too...Fred plus he knows things Percy couldn't know."

Hermione looked thoughtful. "That would be the best test, if you could tell me something only Fred could know"

"Like for example..." He grinned despite knowing how silly it looked on Percy's face.

"That little birthmark I guess only Ron and I know about now."

Hermione was blushing an almost Weasley shade of red.

"Perhaps I should have obliviated you." she said

"Is this..." Penny let her voice die.

"It was a simple accident Penny and I assure you that Fred was more embarrassed than I was at the time.

"I offered to let you obliviate me"

"Knowing full well that I couldn't do magic out of school."

"I've never told a soul." he said. "Not even George."

Hermione shook her head. "The details aren't important Penny." She drew a deep breath. "There's no doubt in my mind Fred is somehow sharing Percy's body. Now all we have to do it what Voldemort failed to do."

She drew another sharp breath.

"Resurrect dead Fred."
