'Percy and Audrey Sitting in A Tree'
Winter holidays, Mom gives study break but everything seems boring as Bill and Charlie stay at school.
Bill aiming to have perfeck O.W.L.S and Charlie practicing hard to get into the quiditch team.
Percy cant visit Audrey as she oftently got sick and Mother watching her in her room. Not even Percy dare to leave her favourite apple sugar on the windowshill.
So, he spent more time reading and practicing in his room. He had finished the second year Hogward text books when spring comes. Mom just giving small refreshing quizes in the morning, and let him practicing what ever he want.
He could silentcast more spell to counterpranks the twins and the dance exercise he had with Audrey giving him more flexibility and better reflex so he rarely slipped down or head knocked. Now they found another way to bother him, verbal teases.
Dad spare a corner in his garage so Percy could practicing securely without the twins annoyance. The twins have a high interest and fast learner on potion and spell but lack of control so Dad tried to slowing them down.
Sometimes Percy stay late, accompany Dad doing his hobby examining muggles stuffs, and sometimes Dad play some muggles popular song on his gramaphon, and teach him to sing and dancing. (Dad cast silentcing charm of course).
He mastering first year magical potion materies and also daily health potions from refreshment tonic to light disease reliever.
He now take care all the body care potion for the family. He could make Mom's and Dad's favourite fragrances, and experimenting for his own. He made Apple scented bubble soap and become Audrey's favourit in an instant.
Bill tipping him to mastering all day fresh billowing anti greassy hair potion to aim Mr. Batface Snape's favour. And he found its as a very challanging task.
He's trying various ingredients but havent found result what Bill describe. Bill said, he his self too havent found it yet.
Percy finally see Audrey after weeks.
She tied her long smooth black hair with a blue handkerchief. (He make a mind notice to asking for her hair potion sample). Sitting with a book opened on her lap.
Percy sit beside her and pick another book. A pink flowery print fraganced folded paper slidded down.
Audrey snatch it away.
"Dont read!" Her face blushing.
"Love letter?"
"Yes."
Percy rub his temple. Audrey is just a third grade school girl (jumping class too), and what, its sound all her class mates bussily flirting, dating, and everything. They will got married rightly after graduate from the primary school, he think.
"Tom Andrew?"
"No. Dare he come near me, i will wave my stick and he will run pissed his pant."
Percy laughing hard. He was not even cast his hex in front of the boy, but Audrey improvising perfectly. So, she know he hexed Tom jerkface, and she made him think she did that.
"Its Jeremmy."
"Is he handsome?"
"Um... quiet of. He's the drama club's manager. He is in the fifth grade."
Wow, and she said she's ugly and everything?
"He is nice?"
"I think."
"Popular?"
"A little. He is kind of, well, dramaking. Sane girl would not like to be arround him. He overwhelming everything.
'Ooo Audrey, i hear that unrully snobbish boy mocking you? Worry me so much, is your sweet tender heart all right?'
Ewww."
Percy giggling imagining this Jeremmy, wearing long bouncy curly white wig, gold buttoned red jacket with tassled shirt and tight pant and pointy boot.
"But you like to write dramas. He will happily play it."
"I would like to see my stories be played, but i would not stand dating a dramaking that make my daily live like a theater."
"It wont be comfortable. It is."
Percy open the book he held, and another envelope jumped out. Gosh!
"How many boys send you love letters?"
Her face turned red.
"This one even havent opened yet!"
"Let me count, one, two, tree, hmmm ten, twelve... sixteen..." And she still trying to remembering.
"That practically all boys in the school!"
Audrey laughing.
"I'm kidding. I'm not such that popular."
"Who is this,
Dear Ms. Audrey Jones
Class 3, St. Catchpole State Primary school, Ottery
From: Mike Thompson.
Its so formal, is he your school administrator?"
"Give me that."
Percy flip the letter a while. And give it to her.
"I wont go out with anybody. I opened Jeremmy's because i curious how he will make it. You know, how dramatic it is."
Percy giggling.
"But if there's any normal nice boy, wont you go out with him?"
"No. Dating is silly.
You go where ever your boyfriend goes, sticking each others like stinky boogeys.
You cheering him in the football games even if you dont like football.
He will ask you where are you last night, who you play with, blah blah blah.
You dolling your self everyday.
You giggling coquettishly, 'O ho ho ho...'
You calling each other with silly names. 'O baby Ouwie, o dahling Pawcey...'
Yieks.
Kissing everywhere,
And other kids mocking you, like,
'Percy and Audrey sitting in a tree.
Ke-ei-esh-esh-ei-en-ji.
First comes love, then comes marriage…
then a lot of babies in a baby...'
Ewww." She shuddering and make an exagerating disgusted face.
Percy giggling hard in burn red face. How overwhelming she is, and there she called poor Jeremmy dramaking. All hail for the real QUEEN.
The next evening, when Audrey walk out the school gate, there Percy's waiting her.
Reading a book while leaning in the wall with one of his hand in his black jeans pocket (they have muggle clothes because if they need to travelling arround muggles, they should look like muggles ofcourse), and the other one holding a folded open book. His vintage schoolbag with tucked wand slinged across his chest. His light blue tshirt short sleves rolled up, his black summer hoodie cap lifted up shadowing his ash-blue eyes under his red curly bang, highlighting his pale bonny jaw.
He look misterious and slightly wild, but his freckly nose give some cuteness tone.
The girls whispering and giggling with flirtous eyes. They elbowing each other. Some even whistling playfully and fanning their face.
"What are you doing?" Audrey saw him, whispering in shock and drag him away. (She also shocked because she never realize how charming Percy is, he makes Tom Andrew look plain like tap water).
"Nothing." He reach the books she hold and carry it.
"There is a lot of muggles! Dady Arthur will blown up!"
"No. Dont worry. Nobody know me, right."
Audrey glared sternously.
"There is something in your nose." He tipping her nose.
"What?"
"Boogey, o baby Ouwie."
"Shut up!" Audrey trying to hit his arm.
He's dodging, grinning wide and running away.
And after that day, no more boy send Audrey love letter, and the girls getting friendlier and stop bullying her as they see she is not their rival. They ask her is he a primmary school student? Is he playing drum? Is he a model? etc etc, but Audrey just said, 'No comment.'
