Percy was sitting on a brown leather couch next to Penelope in her
apartment. He had never thought Penelope would be the type to live by herself in an apartment. He figured she would live at home until she was married, or maybe if she wanted to live on her home, she might rent a small one or two bedroom house with a female friend or one of her sisters. She had lived at home while they were dating. Percy looked around her apartment
and wondered who this strange new woman was.
They were drinking wine and together they had drunk a least half the bottle. It was a very fine wine, Percy didn't know much about drinks, but he could tell from the sweet taste of almost crimson liquor that it was a very fine vintage. He was not used to drinking this much. Penelope must not have been either; Percy noticed she seemed to be very tipsy. The alcohol, however, did not go to Percy's head. Rather, it went straight to his stomach. His stomach was feeling very queasy and was making some very strange noises.
Penelope whispered to him in a husky voice telling Percy how nice it was to have him here with her. She brushed her lips against his check, and leaned forward to kiss him, but Percy quickly pulled away from her. This was a good thing for Penelope's sake because Percy had just vomited.
"Oh no! My couch!" she screamed. "You've ruined my couch! Do you know how expensive that couch was! Get out of here, you freak!"
Percy ran into the bathroom, and proceeded to throw up, luckily this time his aim had improved and it landed in the toilet. This did not seem to improve the mood of the slightly drunk Penelope, who was yelling at him for making a mess in her too-clean-to-be-practical all white bathroom.
Percy was feeling rather sick but he was not sick enough that he could not notice the absurdity of having an all white bathroom. The walls, ceiling, and floors were all bright white, along with white bathroom rugs by the sink, toilet, and tub, along with fluffy white bath towels, and a snow white shower curtain. The only thing in the bathroom that seemed to have any color at all was themselves, Penelope's face was red from yelling at him, and Percy's face was looking a little green.
Once he had finished vomiting, Percy stood up, and wiped his soiled mouth off on one of her perfect white wash clothes. At this Penelope screamed for him to clean up his mess, and then leave.
"What's the matter, Penelope?" he asked, sarcastically.
"You know what's the matter, you idiot!" sad Penelope. "You've ruined my home!"
"Your perfect white bathroom? What's the point of having an all white bathroom? It seems very senseless to me. I didn't mean to throw up, anyway. It was an accident. Besides, I like it better this way. That thing I left for you in the toilet really gives some much needed color to the room. I think you should leave it this way." he said.
He tried to push past her to leave, but she had blocked the door way.
"I don't care if it was an accident!" she screamed. "Clean up this mess!"
Percy waved his wand and the mess disappeared. "Have you forgotten that we are a witch and wizard? Messes are much easier to clean up when you have a wand. That was really hard, wasn't it?"
"I never want to see you again, Percy Weasley!" she yelled! "To think I wasted all those years of my school girl days with you! I could have dated Oliver Wood!"
"But I am very glad that I came here and had this most fortunate accident." said Percy. "Now I know what, or rather who, is really important to me. Just think, Penelope, I learned all that from just one evening in the displeasure of your company."
With that, Percy left Penelope's apartment and headed back to his own home, where he would write his beloved a letter begging her to meet for dinner the next evening. He didn't know if she would show up, but Percy knew he had to do to try and make things right. Hopefully, she wouldn't want to make it lunch instead. He had quite a bit of shopping to do before he could see her again.

Apple Freak: When you place someone on Author Alert, FF.NET emails you and lets you know whenever they post a new story or a new chapter. It's very convenient, and no, it's not a bad thing. :- I'm happy to know that you
like this story and I'm on your favorite's lists.
Crystal Lighting: Hmmmmm, I wonder what she would say if Percy told her the
truth...
Scorpion: Yeah, I know. I accidentally published the version that wasn't spell checked at all. I'm a very fast typist so I make a lot of errors, and
when I am writing for fun like these fan fics, I am too lazy to spell check. Yes, the word I was looking for was kosher, which I do know how to
spell, but the computer Auto Corrected it on me.
Thanks for everyone for reviewing. Sorry, if I missed you!
