"Hurry up, honey. You don't want to be late for dinner." She said.

Actually…though Percy but he was interrupted when she took his hand and gave him a quick kiss. "It'll be fine. They're your family."

He followed her to the fireplace in the living room and with a swoosh he saw his apartment disappear in green flame to be replace by the Weasley kitchen.

Not much had changed, he noticed, as he scanned the room. It was just like it used to be. Cook books stacked high, potatoes peeling themselves, red heads sitting around a large scrubbed table glaring up at him…Yep, just like old times.

But soon the glowers on their faces turned to looks of shock when they took in the very pretty girl standing next to Percy and holding his hand.

"Everyone," started Percy "this is my fiancé Aubrey. Aubrey, this is my family." Aubrey smiled warmly at the assembly of people in the kitchen.

"Fiancé?" asked Mr. Weasley.

The couple in front of them grinned and Aubrey held out her hand displaying her huge yellow diamond engagement ring.

Everyone stared at them mouths wide open as if trying to catch snowflakes in a horizontal snowstorm. All, that is except Fleur who looked like she was going to tell them that she had called dibs on getting married.

Revenge is deliciously sweet, Percy thought beaming at his seemingly inarticulate family.

He knew it had so been worth this moment. He hadn't told his family about Aubrey at all. They had been dating ever since he left home. They had met at work. She was the receptionist at the ministry and he had fell in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her. Actually when he had first seen her he had literally been transfixed. He had stopped and stared in the middle of the lobby until he had heard Mr. Crouch yell, "Weatherby, that caldron bottom paper won't write itself!" From that day on he had winked at her every morning when he checked in and tried to make small talk. After over a month of this she had fell for his charm (Percy's words, not mine) and agreed to go out to dinner with him. Obviously things went well and progressed from there.

And now she was standing next to him in front of his family. His speechless, astonished family. He decided that he liked them better that way…especially Fred and George.

Mrs. Weasley, always predictable, came over to the couple, tears welling in her eyes and squeezed Percy in a bear hug. "Congratulations!" she said moving on the Aubrey and hugging her too, "Welcome to the family."

Percy felt very déjà vu as Mr. Weasley came up to shake his hand and kiss Aubrey on the check. Then came Bill with Fleur and then Charlie. Ginny came up, skipping Percy then hugging Aubrey and said "As a member of the female community I must offer my sincerest condolences."

Aubrey felt distressed until she realized the girl was smiling. "Thanks for taking one for the team." she added then walked away. It seemed the prospect of having a decent sister-in-law had overridden her hatred for the brother she was marrying

Percy gave Aubrey a sideways glance and look that communicated 'yeah, they're all that crazy.'

As it appeared that Fred, George, and Ron were not in a celebratory mood, Mrs. Weasley was merciful enough to announce that dinner was ready and that everyone could sit down. This sadly, was the part he had been dreading. He had actually drawn a map back at home and tried to figure out where he would be safest from impending parsnip catapult attacks. But this dilemma was quickly solved when his mother pushed him into a seat next to her at the head of the table.

The seating arrangements went as follows:

Fred/George/Charlie/Fleur/Bill

--------------TABLE-------------Arthur

Ron/Ginny/Aubrey/Percy/Molly

Percy smiled at his mother, always watching out for him…But he still did feel a little uneasy….Fred and George's aim was pretty good …after all they were beaters.

As food was placed on the table and they dug into their meals conversation was sporadic. Mostly people complimenting Mrs. Weasley's cooking. Fred, George, and Ron loaded up on parsnips. Piling large spoonfuls of them onto their plates while glaring straight at Percy in a very threatening manner. Percy shrank back into his seat.

Soon enough an awkward silence fell amongst the occupants of the Weasley kitchen. Percy, knowing this was because of his presence, tried to fill the void. Rather ambitiously he went after the twins who had plenty of ammo.

"Er…so, Fred and George," Percy started, "at work I was issued some of your products. Those shield hats are ingenious."

"Flattery may have worked on Aubrey-" replied George coolly.

"-but it won't get you anywhere with us." finished Fred.

Percy looked crest fallen, but he wouldn't give up. Hogwarts wasn't founded in a day.

He turned towards Ron, "So, Ronald. How 'bout them Chudley Cannons?"

He could tell Ron was fighting the urge to divulge in the Chudley Cannons' first victory in a century, but with a kick under the table from George he restrained himself. "Like you care about Quidditch." Ron grumbled.

Aubrey gave his knee a quick squeeze under the table and he flashed him a half smile.

It was going to be one long night.

A/N- Sorry the last chappie was soo short, this one is a bit longer I think…

Will Perc win back the rest of his family? Will he get a facial?
