More Than Meets the Eye
It would be so easy for her to be the jealous one, so easy for him to find her faults, and worry about her not being enough for him. It would be easy for her to be so uncertain about him, uncertain of his feelings. But seeing her at his brother's wedding was like seeing a whole different person.
When he saw her talking to that Zabini character at the wedding, he'd began to wonder if he was enough for her. Which was why he was brooding about it the next day when she told him that Zabini had stopped by the pub.
"Percy? You listening?"
"Sorry, what?"
"I asked you about Lovegood and you completely tuned me out."
"Mr. Lovegood? Why are you asking about him?"
"Why the hell would I be asking about him? I've barely met the man." Millicent frowned at him. "I was asking about Luna."
"Luna? Why?"
"For Blaise. Weren't you listening?"
"I'm afraid you lost me."
Millicent frowned at him. Percy never tuned anything out, unfortunately. She sighed as she cleared the dishes.
"Why was Zabini in the pub today? Doesn't his work in Diagon Alley keep him rather busy?"
"Percy, we already talked about this."
"We did?"
"Yes. I told you that I talked with Bell and Lovegood at the wedding, right? And how Blaise reacted to Luna?" Millicent asked.
"Yes," he frowned, not seeing the connection.
"Blaise wanted to know what we talked about, what she was like. It's actually refreshing to see Blaise that way -"
"What way?"
"Hung up over a girl, it's usually the other way around."
"Wait - he's hung up over Luna?"
"Of course! Who'd you think he was hung up over - me?" Millicent started to laugh until she saw the look on his face. "You actually thought - me and Blaise?"
"I didn't know what to think."
"Jealousy does not suit you, Weasley.
