Oliver checked the clock for the millionth time, ever since the incident at Diagon Alley happened, two days ago, Percy had been distraught and the only thing that seemed to calm him down was work. Oliver sighed and stood up going to the kitchen but then the fireplace lit up.
He turned to see Ron walk out of it with black robes and hair slicked back. Probably went to give testimony to the ministry then. He carried a covered basket with him "Percy's not here then?" he asked.
"I'm surprised I even got him to come home and sleep last night at all" Oliver admitted "no, he's probably working in the shop again," he said.
"Alright, then let's get there and we'll take him something to eat. You hold him down and I'll shove food in his mouth, shall I?" Ron suggested and Oliver laughed.
"If that's what it's down to, sure" Oliver agreed.
They took Oliver's floo and stepped out of the fireplace to find none other Harry Potter standing behind Percy who, hair in a complete mess and bags under his eyes, sat working at the bench.
Harry brows were furrowed, hovering sort of like Mrs. Weasley would with any of her children. Oliver almost laughed, Harry was as much as a Weasley as the rest of the lot. He couldn't blame his look though, his Percy did look about fit to collapse.
"Harry," Ron said and Harry looked up in relief when he saw them.
"Hello Ron, Oliver" he greeted, Percy didn't reply or even noticed. Harry stepped toward them, particularly to Oliver. "Thank Merlin, he owled me asking to take a look at my wand so I stopped by but he's um" he gestured to him.
"I know, he's um a man on a mission. I'll snap him out of it so he'll at least eat" Oliver agreed. Ron handed over the basket.
"Percy, babe" Oliver said, walking to the desk where he sat writing things down, he turned Percy's head. Percy jerked a bit and looked at Oliver with wide eyes.
"O-Olly" Percy said and Oliver melted a little then kissed his nose.
"Yes, babe I get that you are on a roll but you really haven't slept much or eaten so at least do one of those things. I am Quidditch Captain, you know, I can and will order you or so help I'll knock you out" Oliver said firmly.
"You already knock me out" Percy muttered
"Good God, he's delirious" Ron muttered, it sounded like one of Hermione's saying. It was funny how those two were, just by being around Hermione he picked up sayings but also information.
"No, I'm really not. I'm almost there, I think I've got it" Percy said, Oliver opened the basket pulling out a perfect finger sandwich for cucumber, tomato, lettuce, and ham. He shoved it in Percy's mouth. Percy's mouth closed and he began to chew. "Mmm" Percy hummed "that's so good," he said.
"You have any more?" Harry asked Ron who laughed shoving him.
"Your about the only skinny person I don't worry about, you bottomless pit. Dudley and Percy could use a thing called an appetite" Ron said.
"I think Dudley has one, he just is terrified of giving in to it" Harry said.
"Wait, Dudley..." Percy sat up even straight "call Dudley here, send an owl. I have an idea" he said.
"Will it make you sleep?" Ron asked narrowing his eyes.
"Yes" Percy said and Ron sighed.
"Dudley, come as soon as you can, Percy needs your help with something," Ron said into a Patronus and sent it off.
Oliver kept shoving food into Percy's face until he ate everything Ron made. "You are in so much trouble when this is all done, I'm going to put you in bed and you won't be able to leave," he told him, running a hand through his fiance's hair.
Percy's face reddened as Harry and Ron looked to them as they heard everything. Oliver didn't much care if anybody saw him being affectionate with Percy. Of course, he wouldn't messily make out with him in front of everyone because ew who wanted to see that.
However, little things he would always take care to do plus he knew Percy was insecure and he wanted to do everything he could to make sure Percy found every example that he loved him. "After this, I don't think I'll want to leave" Percy whispered closed his ear.
They both turned as Dudley walked through the fireplace dressed in jean shorts and a very loose tank top and necklace. He had no shoes on however looking like he'd rushed because of lack of any shoes, coat, or bag. His wand was stuck into his hair twisted into a bun.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Where are your shoes?" Harry asked.
"Nevermind that, Dudley could you do me a favor?" Percy stood up and thrust a wand in his hand. Ron's old cracked wand "does this… resonate anything?" he asked.
Dudley blinked then looked at it "like a soul signature or something? An aura?" he asked.
"Yes" Percy nodded, Dudley squinted at it "it's very feint, I never considered that wand would take on the signatures of their owners."
"I guess it makes sense though," Harry said "wand chooses the wizard" he reminded.
"That wasn't it, right? I um ran out while we were in the middle of songwriting. Nix will be pissed if I'm gone too long" Dudley asked.
"I need to check one more thing, here's an unbonded wand" Percy offered "does it have a signature?" he asked. Dudley stared at the wand, a simple diamond engraved pattern on it then nodded
"One more thing, sorry Dudley but I need to see if Ron's aura matches this wand" Percy pulled out a wooden box and opened it. Oliver's eyes widened and Ron and Harry came closer.
It was one of most beautiful wands he's ever seen, completely clear giving the beautiful window into the twisting flame in the core of it. The ends were cut a bit like demands. Dudley turned around to look at Ron, his eyes wide to take in his aura.
He then looked down at the wand, his eyes narrow "it's faint but it seems to match Ron's Soul Signature" Dudley said.
Percy nodded then handed Ron the wand who gawked at it "what?" he asked.
"It's yours so… give it a wave" Percy prompted, Ron, waved it. What sprouted forth was a brilliant red spark.
"Are you sure? This is the first one you've managed to create" Ron asked.
"Of course I'm sure, I'm so happy that my first successful new style wand is going to my baby brother. It's more than I hoped" Percy said then yawned. "But maybe I should really get to bed" he added.
"Sold" Oliver agreed slipped an arm around Percy's waist.
"Thank for your help Dudley, sorry to take you away from rehearsal?" Percy added. Dudley shrugged his thin shoulders.
"It's alright, I know how hard you've been working on those wands," Dudley said "get some sleep for once, alright?" he suggested.
"G'night then," Percy said heading for the fireplace with Oliver, they both disappeared into it. Ron sighed in exasperation then looked to Dudley.
"So why are you barefoot?" Ron asked.
"Oh, well Nix sometimes takes us to rehearse at his pool. I never get in but if I don't soak my feet he'll pout so" Dudley gestured.
"Is it because…" Harry paused, Dudley flushed.
"It's not because I think I'm still fat or anything because Charlie has enough conviction to tell me when I'm being daft about that but um. I have terrible stretch marks" Dudley explained.
"Ah, same here," Ron said and Dudley's eyes widened.
"Really?" Harry asked.
"Yup, was skinny for a long time so when I hit puberty I grew muscle really fast so I got all these red marks" Ron explained. "They faded eventually though but they are still there."
"I think it's pretty obvious how I got most of mine but after I lost the weight they kind of went in reverse," Dudley said.
"Huh," Harry said "I kind of like Ginny's stretch marks, I think a lot of people have them," he said.
"Like freckles," Ron said, "mum's got about a hundred of them, she's always said they were here badges of honor from carrying seven children."
"So you don't need to worry so much," Harry said and Dudley smiled.
"Thanks, I better get back then before Nix has my head," Dudley said then headed out the floo.
"Well I'm off today, fancy a trip somewhere?" Harry asked Ron grinned looped an around Harry's shoulders.

Percy sighed as he nuzzled into Oliver's bare chest "afternoon, are you alive now?" he asked, Percy savored the vibrations he felt from his chest.
"Yes, what day is it?" Percy said sitting up, thinking of maybe pulling away from his mouth being at his boyfriend's muscles. He opted to not necessarily pull away but instead moving so that Oliver lay on his back and he catapulted to sit on his abs, each leg on either side of his waist.
"Same day, my we are playful now aren't we?" Oliver said after he recovered from Percy literally jumping on his stomach. He smirked as he moved his hands under Percy's thighs right next to his bum. Oliver sat up slightly leaving him just the right position and Percy felt the flush all the down to his shoulders at the hardness at his rear.
"Can't help it, your naked and looking so perfect so" Percy muttered, he quivered anticipating when Oliver brushed both hand up his thighs then pulling at his boxers. Percy leaned back a little, grinding into Oliver's prick and Oliver moaned.
"That was mean," he said.
"Get on with it, Olly," Percy said then impatient tapped his boxers with his wand, they disappeared leaving him completely naked.
"Bossy" Oliver laughed "you know we're getting married in a couple weeks? Are you always going to be like this?"
"As if you'd have me any other way," Oliver said.

"Ready then Dee?" Nix asked as soon as he returned "we've got a deadline to finish this song for the happy couple" he said.
"Yes, sorry I just had to check on him" Dudley said, he picked up a guitar "let's continue, I've got some ideas now.
