"Blast this Christmas music! It's joyful and triumphant. I hate it!" Percy yelled throwing the parcel he'd just received against the wall. It hit with a soft 'thud' and fell the floor. The noise made his boyfriend, Oliver, peek his head into the room. Oliver shook his head seeing the parcel on the floor and the outraged looking owl leaving their flat.

"But I love this song," Oliver stated turning up the volume. Percy glared at him. "You're just mad about the fact your family is celebrating and you're not there, which is your own fault I might add."

"How could I be, after everything I've done. I should just send this stupid jumper back to Mum, show her that I don't care!" Percy yelled picking up the parcel. Oliver put a hand on Percy's shoulder and squeezed it gently.

"But you do care, Percy. If you didn't, none of this would affect you like this, you'd just sit somewhere sulking, but you wouldn't be yelling at the world, or my music. You even said you liked this song last year, remember? "

"Fine, maybe it does affect me, maybe I am mad, but I'm right, aren't I?"

"You did what you thought was right at the time, yes, but now, now there's new information to consider. Things weren't as they seemed, and you know that maybe, just maybe, you should take a step back and reconsider what you thought was right. I know you want to be someone. I know you feel like your father's being a moron for doing what he loves and not having ambition. I know the hat almost said 'Slytherin' when you put it on your head, but Percy, whatever you decide I'm still going to be right here."

"How can I apologize, Oliver? How can I admit to being wrong? They'd never let me hear the end of it."

"It's easy, you just walk up to them and say, 'Mum, Dad, I'm sorry for being a massive git and acting like I knew everything. I was wrong for the things I said and the way I acted, please forgive me'. See, easy, Percy, and from what I've seen of your family, mainly your brothers, they might tease you a bit, but in time, they'd be happy to just have you back. Look, if we leave now, there would be enough time to swing by your family's home before the term starts. Do you really want to spend the rest of holidays being mad at yourself for not going?"

"No," Percy whispered slowly opening the parcel containing the Weasley jumper. "Mum even made sure to make it green," he whispered looking at it. Oliver smiled. He had always loved the way Percy looked in green, it really brought out his eyes.

"See, she forgives you. You don't knit someone you're mad at a jumper in their favorite color and send it to them for Christmas," Oliver commented. Percy nodded slowly, dropping the jumper on the chair next to him.

"You're right, Oliver. I've been a fool! Come on, we've got to hurry if we want to catch everyone before they head back to Hogwarts. I think this holiday I need to see my family."

"You want me to come with?" Oliver asked. He hoped Percy would bring him, but he also knew this might be something Percy needed to do himself.

"Of course, you're going to be family soon enough if I have anything to say about it," Percy stated grabbing Oliver's hand and racing towards the door. Oliver smiled grabbing the jumper Percy had dropped. He was going to want it before they actually reached the Burrow.
