So yeah, I wrote another segment of the Percy's Secret story that I had said it was a one shot. Well technically it is. So consider this to be an epilogue of sorts. I created this mostly as a back story to one of the characters inside (Isabella Wood) but then decided that it could also be an epilogue as well. And here it is.
I am not J. K. Rowling. So therefore, I do not own Harry Potter. That is all. Enjoy.
A Year Later
Oliver Trent Wood, Keeper for the Puddlemere United, was bisexual. His team mates knew that. His closest friends knew that. His manager knew that. His boyfriend's family knew that. And most importantly, his child knew that.
Yes, Oliver Trent Wood had a child, only one though. It was a one night stand though and it was something that he hadn't anticipated.
Oliver Wood, after his bad breakup with his Hogwarts lover, Percy Weasley, threw himself into Quidditch so much that before he knew it, the years had flown by. He came to his senses when it was the year 1999 where he got an invitation in the mail to Percy and Audrey's wedding.
Needless to say, Oliver never went and threw himself to work even more, forcing himself not to think about that his first love had just gotten married to a woman he had never met. Finally, in 2008, Katie Bell, the only single Chaser of his seventh year team, finally decided that Oliver needed to get bloody laid before he went mad.
They went to a small pub where Oliver and Katie both got drunk. One thing led to another, and Oliver always thought there was something to do with a Kneazle or a Shinx, and Oliver woke up in a mess of pale green sheets with his nose filled with the smell of strawberry and his skin meshed with Katie's. They were shocked at first but then realized that their stress had become released. They went on with their normal lives, until Katie showed up a month later and told Oliver that she was pregnant.
"Are you sure?" he had asked, a little scared.
"Yes," she said.
"Are you sure it's me?"
"Oliver, you are the only person I've had sex with in over a year," said Katie. She burst out crying and he pulled her into a hug. "You don't have to marry me," she said as he thought it. "But I want you to be there for our child."
And he was. Oliver was there for everything that happened in the pregnancy. He was there for every doctor's appointment. Katie moved in around halfway through the pregnancy and they painted the nursery a pale blue, even though they had found out that they were having a girl. Oliver was taken from a match when Katie was in labor.
No one knew of the new child because Katie didn't want anyone to know that Oliver Wood had a love child. Oliver told her he didn't care but she wouldn't have it.
And on the New Year's Quidditch Match between Puddlemere United and the Tutshill Tornados, Oliver was "accidently" hit with a Bludger by his own team mate who was aiming for Seeker, Cho Chang. Oliver was sent to St. Mungos and people thought it was a serious injury. However, Oliver only had a minor concussion and didn't understand why they had brought him. He was taken into Katie's room, who had gone into labor.
Later the next morning, at exactly 12:01 A.M. on January 1st 2009, Isabella Marie Wood was born to Oliver Wood and Katie Bell. Oliver was amazed that he was now a father to a small little girl who had her mother's small button nose, his brown eyes (he didn't know this until her eyes changed to their natural color), and his brown hair. She would stand on his toes and dance.
Isabella Wood would grow to not let anyone know that she was in fact the daughter, and only child, of one Oliver Wood of Puddlemere United. She had once told a kid that she was and he told her that she was lying because the news monitored stuff like that. Isabella had grown fond of the nickname her father had given her "Snitch" and would eventually become a Seeker in her Hogwarts by that simple nickname. Isabella had known her father liked both genders when she was little.
So when Oliver proposed to Percy, Oliver finally decided the day after wards that his future husband should finally meet the child that had a life so detached from his as possible without everyone else knew of his child, his "love child", while being able to see her whenever he wanted.
"Where are we going?" Percy asked as they apparated into the suburbs of Muggle London. Oliver peered out of the alley before dragging Percy into the light.
"There's someone you need to meet before we get married," Oliver told him. Percy gave Oliver and odd look of complete confusion as they reached the house. Oliver could see his little girl sitting at the window sill petting her mother's small dog that was at the feet. Her eyes saw him and they lit up. He waved and she was gone. Katie opened the door and Isabella looked at her father before running towards him.
"Daddy!" she shouted. Oliver laughed as he picked her up in his arms.
"Hello Snitch," he joked. She pulled away and stared at him.
"What are you doing here?" the ten year old asked. She noticed the man beside him. "Hello," she said, shyly shifting so half of her face was hidden by Oliver's.
"Hi," said Percy.
"Isabella," said Oliver. "I'd like you to meet Percy," Oliver turned to Percy and smiled. "My fiancée."
"Oh," said Isabella, excitedly. "You guys are getting married?" She turned to her father and pointed a finger. "Why didn't you bring him sooner?"
"I'm sorry," Oliver said, jetting out his bottom lip. Isabella laughed and threw his arms around her father's neck before pecking his lips.
"You are forgiven," she stated. Oliver laughed and went up the steps.
"Come on Perce," Oliver said. "Katie wants to see you again."
"Katie?"
"Katie Bell," Oliver reminded him. "She's Isabella's mother," By the look on Percy's face, he was a bit jealous. Isabella giggled. "Don't worry," he told him as he put Isabella down. The small girl ran into the house to fetch her mom. "It was a onetime thing. But it's the best onetime thing that I have ever done."
"So she's a –?"
"Yes," said Oliver. "She's a love child. But I stayed every step of the way." Oliver smiled and they swept inside the house.
"Perce," questioned Isabella, tugging on Percy's hand. "Come on." Oliver laughed and went to join Katie in the kitchen as Isabella dragged Percy to her bedroom. Percy looked at the bedroom and noticed that it was nothing like what her father's bedroom would have looked like as a child.
Isabella's room which was still a pale blue was filled with pictures with a child script of Isabella and a date in the corner of each of the paintings. There were a couple of easels that littered the room along with a couple of pictures of Isabella and her father in different situations. There were a couple of pictures of people that Percy knew were Oliver's parents. Isabella watched him and pulled him over to the bed.
"Sit," she said, patting the bed next to her. Percy nodded and sat down at the bed. He studied the girl next to him and smiled softly. Isabella was basically a spitting image of the man he loved. She had his eyes and his hair color. She had Katie's button like nose and her hair texture (wavy and straight depending on the day). "Do you love Daddy, Perce?" she questioned.
"Yes," said Percy. "I do."
"I'm glad," she said. She sat on the bed in a sad sort of silence. "Have you and Daddy been dating about three years?"
"Yes," said Percy. "How did you know?"
"Daddy's been happier." Isabella said. "I never got to see him as much as I did before but I didn't care much because what ever was happening, it made him happy."
"I'm sorry I took him away," Percy said.
"It's ok," she said. "Daddy always seemed a bit upset when he read the newspaper but now, he's always smiling." She looked up at him. "You're the Minister of Magic, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am," said Percy.
"Do you have any kids?"
"Yes," said Percy. "I have two daughters, Molly and Lucy."
"I get to have step sisters?!" said Isabella smiling. "I've never had sisters before. It's only been Mum and me. Occasionally I see Aunt Angelina and Aunt Alicia but they both have boys."
"Do you want to meet them?" At that moment, Oliver stuck his head in. Percy noticed Katie Bell standing behind him.
"Hey what's up?" Oliver said. Isabella hopped down from the bed and ran over to her father.
"Can I meet Perce's daughters?" Oliver blinked at her and then looked up at Percy.
"Would that be ok?"
"Yeah," said Percy. "They're at Mum's house right now."
"Oh," said Katie, sticking her head around. "If you're going, can I come? I'd love to see everyone again."
"Mum always wants the extra company, besides we're supposed to be there in thirty minutes anyways."
The four apparated to the Burrow with Isabella, who had become shy within three minutes, clutched onto Percy's leg as they neared the house. Oliver picked up his daughter as they neared the house and began to tickle her. Isabella began to giggle crazily, twirling in her father's arms.
"She's adorable," said Percy to Katie.
"Thank you," said Katie. "But she's just like Oliver." Percy opened the door and called into the house that he was home. His mother bustled into the entrance hall and noticed the woman next to Percy.
"Who is this?"
"Katie Bell," answered Percy.
"Technically," she told him. "I changed it to Wood after Isabella was born so she wouldn't ask why her last name was different from mine." Mrs. Weasley gave her a hug as she said, "Wood? As in Oliver Wood?"
"Hi Mum," said Oliver, walking in with Isabella in his arms. Isabella noticed the new woman and hid her face once again. "I'd like to make the introductions. This is my daughter, Isabella. Snitch," Isabella looked up at her father. "This is Perce's mother. Call her Grandma Weasley."
"Grandma Weasley," said Isabella. Mrs. Weasley smiled as two girls ran in the room. Both of them were Percy's daughters, Molly and Lucy, who were both wind struck as if they had run downstairs from the top floor. Percy glanced at them with a small smile.
Molly, the eldest, had just come back from a year in Romania with her Uncle Charlie. She was helping nurse baby dragons to health from the time they are hatched to the time when their scales hardened enough to be around older dragons. She had several fresh burns and cuts from the slightly older dragons that she nursed. Molly's hair, which used to long auburn hair, was now pulled back in a stubby ponytail and dyed a deep brown with bright red tips. Her brown eyes remained the same.
Lucy, who was the youngest of Percy's daughters, was now an upcoming seventh year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was now Head Girl and was planning on becoming a professional potioneer at St. Mungos after graduation. Lucy had treated her wild red curly hair which was now straight and manageable. She still had her father's bright blue eyes which were still hidden behind a pair of spectacles.
"Did we hear that right?" questioned Molly.
"Oliver has a daughter?" Lucy questioned.
"Yes I do," Oliver huffed. "How do you think I'm so good with you two?" Percy laughed and Katie laughed behind her hand while rolling her eyes.
"Isabella," said Percy. "This is my eldest daughter, Molly," The said girl smiled at Isabella with a fancy salute. "And my youngest daughter, Lucy," Lucy gave Isabella a tiny wave and walked over as Oliver put her on the ground.
"Would you like to meet the rest of the family, Isabella?" questioned Lucy. Isabella nodded and Lucy held out a hand. The two girls walked in the next room with Katie right behind them. There was chatter in the next room and Isabella was being introduced to the family while Katie was saying hello to the family as well. Mrs. Weasley turned to the two men.
"You have some explaining," Percy and Oliver looked at each other. They hadn't exactly told the family that they were engaged yet, as it only happened the night before.
"Umm," said Percy.
"We're engaged?" they stumbled.
"What?!" Mrs. Weasley's eyes filled with tears as she pulled the two men into a bone crushing hug.
Both Percy and Oliver changed their last names to Weasley-Wood following the wedding ceremony and Katie was dancing with her best friends when Isabella noticed a small boy around her age talking to a small girl who wore a sleek blue dress. The boy noticed Isabella as well and walked over to sit in the chair opposite of her. She glanced up at him.
He was the boy who told her that she was lying when she said that she was Oliver Wood's daughter.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"My sister and I stayed with the Potters. We were invited," he answered. "My father works at Hogwarts and my mother in renovating the Leaky Cauldron at the time..."
"Does she own it?" Isabella asked, interested.
"Yes," said the boy.
"What does your father teach?" Isabella asked again. He looked at her bewildered.
"Aren't you mad at what I said?"
"No," said Isabella. "Should I?" The boy blinked as he stared at her.
"You are one strange girl,"
"Thank you," she said. "I prefer to be myself." The boy laughed as he stared at her.
"Are you going to Hogwarts soon?"
"Yes," said Isabella. "This following September 1st,"
"Seriously?" the boy said, smiling. "So am I. So are Lily Potter and Julia Weasley."
"Wow really?" questioned Isabella. "They're all very close, aren't they?"
"Yes," said the boy. "They are very close." He stared at her as Isabella studied the boy in front of her. He was slightly taller than her even at this age. He had dark brown hair that was in a way that swept across his forehead. He had dark brown eyes that were kind and soft. He held out a hand. "I'm Justin Longbottom,"
"I'm Isabella Wood,"
And this is the end of the epilogue of the Percy's Secret one shot.
Isabella Wood was actually a character I had created just for the sole purpose of being paired up with Justin but I decided to put a little insight on her. I actually created her before I liked Percy and Oliver but I decided to do something that showed her relationship with the Weasleys. And now we have this.
P. S. I got about halfway through before realizing it could be an epilogue.
So yes, this is the final segment of the one shot.
Please review and tell me how I did.
Pretty please?
