Falls 1994
"Where?" Percy almost chocked his carrot salad.
"Chambridge! My primary school friends hold a hallowe'en party in their campus and they invite me. Please Percy... i have no one to go with."
"But..." Percy chopping his potato faineantly.
He know Chambridge is a wide area with many school and campuses. And he is not even sure SHE still there.
"Come have fun Percy! You've been burry your self in the office for months. You got wrinkly and molded. A little fun good for you."
Percy really get a tight schedulle and mount worth load works as it is and everything. But seeing a college party is a real temptation.
"Pleeeeeeease? Its not a date. Just come with me. Dont let me come alone." Penny rubbing her palms pleadly...
Percy sighing, and nodding.
When they went off from their office and apparating to the park, its been crowded with various costumed youngsters.
A lot of princes and princesses, pirates, vampire costumed boys and girls, gothick witches, traditional wizards, even some bloke body paintinging their limbs and face with bones and skull draw, and many more fun and creative costumes (He saw a dragon somewhere, he almost think Charlie wandering arround here).
He reckons some real witches and wizzards along and they nodding each other. Percy and Penny just wear their travelling robes and cloaks and they all good witch and wizard costumed.
Percy slightly jealous how muggles at their age still go to the campuses, partying like school kids and all.
The party held in a cozy spacious bar with a wide opened garden and a bon fire made rather a back, some witch costumed girls dancing arround mimicking some rites. (He never read real rites like that, except when some Celestia Werbeck's fans got drunk and dancing madly).
Pumpkin lampions hung here and there and themmed decoration like plastic skull and ghost shaped cloth placed arround.
They have great foods stals, free float rootbeers, fun music bands, and some games booth like dart piercing, lucky wheel, apple boobles, and many moore.
Percy buys some hotdog, corndog, kebab, and much more interesting festival food he rarely meet. Penny laughing him and jokingly wether Percy keep a dragon inside his lung. He answering, at least he made a good reason to skipping dinner, all those snacks pampering his stomach real good.
Penny introduces Percy to her friends as her hight school friend. (Not dating! She punchtuating!)
They wellcoming him friendly, then he blending to talks (listening, actually), laugh, drinking and dancing.
Percy sipped his drink rather too fast as he felt the beers washed his work exhaustments off and let him feel more relax.
Percy carried out and lost count on how many glasses of beers he had taken and have been half consious when somebody throw him the microphone.
Their friends cheering and clapping hands. He get pushed up to the stage, and he saw HER.
Wearing night sky blue velvet robes, matching tone cloak and wide belted witch hat. Clapping hands as drunk as his self. Her black hair waving gracefully, her brown eyes framed in black mascara. Glittering body painting flowing arround her temple ended under her right eye drawed an apple as red as her shinning lips. And she still wear that dragon teeth necklace... She's growing up really wicked pretty.
He is a wizard that bewitched all top to toe by a muggle.
He's smiling and mumbling the band for the song.
"One, two, three, four..." Percy starting the cue.
The band played the intro, and the crowd screeching, throw their hands up in the air.
"Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?"
The crowd jumping arround and sing along with him. He let all of his feeling out uncaged.
"Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there..."
He's pointing her, and reach his hand forward, and she jumping up to the stage.
"Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standing there..."
They singing harmoniously and the crowd screeching. They dancing cheerfully teasing each other and the crowd went fangirling histerically.
"Well, my heart went, "Boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Yeah, well since I saw her standing there..."
And they exploding the stage with a hot kiss on the song ends.
Penny gobsmacked rather slightly jealous. Percy's kissing a stranger steamfully! The very fuddy-duddy Percy! The most old fashioned conservative boy of Percy!
If only she know earlier, may be she will drunk him rather than asked that stupid question, fuck off true love and everything.
As she see him rather too drunk, she tow him away and apparating him to her flat then flooed him to the burrow.
He's wake up with a severe quasy headache and undefined feeling as his bed got wet. He clean it up and as its still dark, he changed pajama and sliped back to the bed.
At the other place, Audrey wake up in the morning with a wide smile eventhough her head still feel flowing arround.
What a great dream! If he really exist, Percy must really had grown in to such's that hot boy. He was already spicy back at their young age.
