The Forecast- Jason Mraz-Percy/Orla

In the midst of the morning pull up a blanket of a cloud

and await for the warning of another come down

Nothing was going right, I knew I'd get that promotion, the one that will change my life forever make me rich and famous, blah blah. I didn't want that. I just wanted t be a part of my family again. But I can't go home. They'll kill me. I've been rotten, horrible, a total prat.

I pace around outside, getting strange glances.

I bump into someone.

"I'm so sorry!"
a girl looks up at me and smiles beneath her long blonde hair.

"No harm done."

I help her up and she shakes my hand.

"Orla Quirke. I'm a director for the Prophet. You look a little stressed out, let me get you a coffee."

I stand there stunned, a beautiful girl asking me out.

"Sure, I'm Percy, Percy Weasley."

because the water is healthy for the roses in your cheeks

my well holds plenty for penny wishin' in your deep end

and when the lights go out, no doubt, with you I'll be

and crazy is the forecast all week

we staring dating after that, and I felt light hearted around her, like nothing could go wrong.

"Percy!"

Orla apparated into my apartment one morning.

"Orla! What….!"
"put your trunks on!"

"What?"
"we're going to the lake!"
"The lake! But I have work!"
"already taken care of!"

"but…"
"Go on!"

As I sat on the beach at sunset that day with that beautiful girl, I knew I was in love. I also knew what I needed to do with my life. Being away from home killed me. I wanted to them to see I could be happy, even away from work.

I've made up my mind Orla, I've got to go see them!" I say proudly

She laughs and hugs me tight

"I love you, and I'm so proud of you."

"there's also a couple more things I need to discuss with you."

She smiles softly as I get up from the stair porch.

"what?"
I smile nervously and then drop down on one knee.

She smiles brightly and turns red.

"Orla, please do me the honor of being with me forever."

"Arthur, when is that boy going to get here?"

"Be nice Molly, he'll probably be scared!"

"who's that mum?"

"Your father's getting a trainee Ginny, isn't that exciting!"
"who is it?"
"don't know, he's coming to dinner tonight though."

"oh I'm a nervous wreck Arthur."

He pulls her close.

"It's just a trainee, Molly."

"I meant about your job, what if it's a trick?"
"In the muggle artifacts division mum?"
" it could happen anywhere Ronald."

A knock comes at the door.

"He's here! I'll get it."

Everyone's on edge as Molly rushes to the door.

As the door opens, tears spring to her eyes and she comes face to face with her 3rd oldest son.

"Percy! What are you doing here?"
"hey mum" I mumble softly, shuffle my feet, take a deep breath and look up at the family.

"I'm dad's trainee."
It's silent for a good minute

"You Perce?" Dad says happily "what about…"
"I quit." I say confidently " I was wrong, you were all right, all along. I was going to get a big promotion, but I asked for this job instead. It will be better this way."

Mum cries and throws her arms around me

"Welcome home Percy!"

she stops suddenly and looks over my shoulder.

"Percy, did you bring someone with you?"
I blush hard.

"oh yes I did."

I grab Orla's and she walks in.

"This was the other reason why I took this job, there's less stress and more time at home. Everyone this is Orla Quirke, my fiancée."

The kitchen erupts in sound as I smile back at Orla. She blushes and giggles slightly. I know that life again would be good.

"and if them rains should fall for sure with you I'll be

ah because crazy is the forecast all week long"
