A/N: So sorry for the really, really long disappearance! Life was in no 1 place and I had this chapter mostly written before losing my memory pen so it had to be rewritten and it took a while to get back in the mood of writing. I hope you enjoy this chapter and hopefully I'll get it updated again soon

Nothing could have prepared Audrey for what she saw when she walked in the door of 18b Harvey Terrace. For a man who supposedly strived for perfection, his living room looked as though it had just been stampeded by a herd of elephants. The place was absolutely trashed and it only took a few seconds for Audrey to find out who by.

"Mr. Weasley?" She whispered, kneeling down beside the sofa, her eyes being drawn to the red hair.

He mumbled a few incomprehensible words but not much as he seemed to fall asleep straight after. His grip loosened on the bottle and it dangled from his hand upside down but nothing spilled as what was left couldn't have filled even a thimble.

Audrey took the bottle off him and set it on the floor. She chewed her lower lip as she looked around at the mess. Straightening up, she took in the main elements. Once the clothes were tidied up, the room wouldn't be too hard to clean.

And so she began to collect the clothes strewn about the apartment. It was mainly women's clothes which either meant Percy had had a fight with his girlfriend or he wasn't saying something. She decided that the first option was more likely. She took her phone out of her pocket and put some music on quietly so that she wasn't surrounded just by eerie silence and the broken man's ragged breathing.

Once all the clothes were in a pile by the electric fireplace, Audrey began to clear up the broken photo frame in front of the television. She didn't find the picture though as it had fallen behind the cabinet. She was curious as to what the frame once held but she didn't linger. There was only one other picture in the room and it looked like a family vacation to Egypt. She was amazed at the size of his family and was momentarily confused when she saw two Georges. "Twins?" She mused quietly to herself. She had to take a double look though. "Did that just move…?" She frowned but shook off the weird feeling she got from the picture and moved on.

It took a few hours but by the end of it, Audrey couldn't help but feel as though she had done a good job at tidying up. Even though she was weirded out by the photograph and the weird book titles she found about the place, she had to admit that it was a very nice flat in a decent neighbourhood. What she didn't find though, was a phone, phonebook or any way of contacting a family member to help Percy.

"You have a strange lifestyle, Mr. Weasley." She told him, sitting at the end of the sofa. If he hadn't had his legs pulled up close to him then she doubted that there would have been any room for her. "How do you keep in contact with your friends and family?" She asked although he was too unconscious to hear. "I met your brother today. His name is George. I think he is one half of a twinset." She smiled a little but it didn't last long. "He is worried about you, you know. I don't blame him. It's like trouble in Paradise here."

"He was a twin." Percy mumbled groggily, reaching up a hand to rub his eyes. "Where's my glasses?" His voice quietened down as a headache settled over him.

Audrey handed them over to him. "I'm sorry for your loss, was it recently?" She asked.

He nodded slightly. "A month ago." He eased himself into a sitting position. "Why are you here, Miss… Miss… Greene?"

"You dropped your keys and I was returning them… Speaking of which, how did you get in to your own place without keys?" She asked curiously.

"Apparently my oh-so-smart ex-girlfriend hasn't enough sense to lock the door when she is cheating on me…" He muttered and stood up shakily. He made his way to the kitchen, keeping his back to her and blocking her view as he got a hangover potion out of the cupboard.

Audrey waited on the sofa. "How long were you two together?" She asked curiously.

"Since '92… So six years. Six long years…" He sighed then frowned. "Did you find… never mind." He shook his head. He wasn't ready to look at the ring right now. "When did you speak to George?" He asked, changing subject.

"On the bus on the way here. He said that you are invited to family dinner tomorrow and that your family are worried about you. Will you go?" She asked.

"I don't know… Things haven't been the same the past couple of years…" He trailed off. "I think you should be leaving, Miss Greene."

Audrey nodded and stood, pocketing her phone and heading to the door. "I'll see you soon, Percy." She gave him a small smile before leaving through the front door, quietly shutting it behind her again.

As Percy watched her go, he put his head in his hands. Would he go to dinner tomorrow? Probably not. But Audrey seems very persistent. He thought to himself. She is the type of girl who would check to see if he had gone or not… He sighed and decided to get started on paperwork due for the next day. Anything was better than sitting alone to grieve.

As he worked, part of him wished that Audrey hadn't left. He needed human company right now, pushing people away was the wrong thing to do. He knew he could be bigheaded and prattish but it was too late to change that, wasn't it? He wasn't too sure but that was future Percy's issues, not his.

A/N: Sorry again for the long wait on all my stories!
