"Percival Weasley! Mind your language!" Molly exclaimed.

"Mum? Dad? Everyone?" Percy glanced around himself in confusion wincing when he jarred his injuries.

"Percy! Oh god I was so worried!" Molly rushed to his side and smothered him in kisses.

"Now, now Molly do give the boy some room to breathe," Dumbeldore chided softly.

Percy looked up at Dumbledore and his eyes seemed to glaze over. Ginny later commented that it felt like someone had muted everyone else and all they could do was watch.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"Pardon?"

"I'm sorry that I failed you."

"Oh no my boy," Dumbeldore said his eyes twinkling, "you could never fail me."

He sighed and gave the Headmaster a small smile, "I suppose I'll have to look for another job then."

"I heard their was an opening in Weasely Wizard Wheezes," Dumbeldore smiled looking to the twins who nodded quickly and stepped up to his bed.

"Hey Perce," Fred whispered, "you scared us there for a minute we thought we'd lost you."

George grinned, "yeah you great big prat then what would we have done?"

"I'm sorry," Percy said, "I thought you wouldn't care after all I said to you."

"Oh that," Fred said, "no your our older brother and your stuck with us for life."

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" he teased lightly.

George's eyes sparkled as he looked at his older brother, "it should, what other brothers do you know that would offer you a job at their already overstaffed establishment."

"A job? Establishment?" he echoed.

"Their lying the shop needs workers. And they learned the word 'establishment' from Hermione yesterday." Ron supplied stepping up next to Oliver who had gone unnoticed in the wake of the small family reunion.

"Ron." Percy said grasping his youngest brothers hand.

"Please don't do that again Perce," Ron pleaded tears clouding his eyes, "Ginny was so scared, I was so scared."

"Im sorry Ron, I didn't mean to scare you or anyone else."

"But-"

"Okay kids let Percy rest, he's had a tough time."

"But dad," Bill objected from next to Charlie.

"No buts Bill."

The Weasely family started to troop out each giving Percy a quick hug before they walked out the door. The last was Molly and after giving him a hug and a kiss she smiled knowingly at Oliver and Percy before closing the door behind herself. Percy glanced up at Oliver before breaking down in tears. Alarmed Oliver sat on the bed with Percy and gathered him up into his arms shushing him softly.

"Hush Perce don't cry it's alright, your fine now," Oliver crooned rubbing Percy's back softly in little circles.

"No Oli," Percy cried, "I'm not fine and I'll never be fine not ever again."

After a few minutes his sobs quieted to pitiful mews and Oliver tilted his tear streaked face up to look at him.

"You need to rest Perce."

"No I can't every time I close my eyes I see him," Percy whispered looking away from Oliver in shame.

"Just sleep Perce you need it and tomorrow we'll see if Snape can whip you up a Dreamless Sleep Potion, but please for now try to rest," Oliver pleaded.

"Okay," Percy sighed.

Oliver smiled and went to deposit Percy back down on the bed but stopped when Percy grabbed his hand.

"Can you stay with me please Oli?" Percy asked shyly almost dreading Oliver's answer.

Oliver saw the fear in his friends eyes and he gave Percy a soft reassuring smile, and settled back onto the bed with Percy still in his arms careful not to jar any of his injuries in the process.

"Of course Perce."

Percy smiled and snuggled up to Oliver subconsciously falling to sleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes, "love you Oli."

Oliver sighed, "love you to Perce," and to himself he said, "more then you'll ever know."

Percy's breath evened out but it wasn't hard for Oliver to see the tiny lines of pain.

"Damn you Malfoy."
