Spring 2002

Minister Shacklebolt's coaxing Percy to start paving his path to the Ministery seat.

Percy politely refusing as he is having a really important project to do.

The Minister assuring him that nothing to worry, his wedding will all perfectly handled, but Percy just smilling and told him its another more important project.

Percy giving him some recomendation and assuring the Minister that there still some more deserved senior staffs to be promoted. The Minister and the counsels now on the progress of evaluating the recomended candidates to the post. (Percy secretly run a campain to reelect Shacklebolt instead).

In other hand, Percy start thinking, married to a pure muggle might not a benevit to aiming such of ambition. Even with the new ambience of view in the wizarding world about muggles, giving them a true magicless muggle Minister consort may be still way too extremme. And its no doubt for Percy what to choose between Ministry's top seat, or live-long-love. Obviously the last one. Not just the ministery seat he will give up for her, he will even give his own live for her.

He was rulling. He was ministering. Now his time to loving.

Percy stop working overtime and delegating any overstay outing task to his staffs. (And finally get more capable personal asisstants. Austeen happily send to the front office receiptionist).

He pouring all his out of office time for the project and spent as much as time with his fiancee.

Percy's neatly wraping birthday presents for the families member that born in the spring. Audrey decorated it, and pluck the cards they had signing together.

They choose everyone's gift carefully.

While Audrey tidying up the room from the papper cuts and everything, Percy has already works his project, bussily scribbing in his studyroom. One of Snape's rare book collection wide open in the other table side.

He counting and matching some stars diagrams and checking the calendar carefully. Then pick some vials from his potion cabinet, summoning two glasses of warm water over, and pour the vial's content on. He pick some honey toffee from the jar on his table, and sliding in to his room after finishing the glass with purple water.

Audrey has already changing to her sleeping dress and readily to sleep.

"Rey, take this first." Percy push the glass with blue water toward her.

Audrey sipping the water and shuddering a little.

"Its bitter..."

"Sorry, Au..." Percy unwarp her a toffee and she pick it in an instant.

Percy smilling and checking the table alarm clock.

Audrey hugs him and kissing his lips expectantly, Percy's kissing her back, but then leaning down.

"Are you sleepy, Perce?" She wipping his light scar in the jaw.

"Not really... but we must sleep now."

"But its been a few days..." She's kissing his neck.

"Shhhh." He hugs her waist, but then closed his eyes to sleep.

Audrey frowning, and following him leaning back.

Percy woke up when the alarm clock ticking just thrice, set it off.

He rolling back to his bed. Start kissing Audrey's eyes.

"Au, wake up now..."

"Wha... uhmmm... what time is it? I'm sleepuphhh..."

Percy smiling big and kissing her lips.

The grandclock beside the firepit ticking thrice, when they finished their round.

"Perfect..." Percy satisfiedly hugs Audrey who is now composing her breath in his arm with a deep satisfaction smile.

"What whas that, Perce?"

"You know what time now?"

"Three in the morning, hun..."

"What hour is it?"

"Witching hours..."

"Yes... magic hours."

Audrey glancing to the window. Bright full moon shines over the meadow beautifully. Silver light twinking from the trees top.

Each full moon, Percy always doing this. Avoid her for a few days, giving her that bitter water, and wake her arround in some certain time. But he never told her the reason.
