Expectations of Approval
Chapter Sixteen: Brother this school year I . . .
Ron wasn't sure what he expected. He hadn't expected Percy rush out of Bill's room the day they had gone to visit with a pink face and livid eyes. Ron had heard from George what had happened. Fred refused to talk about it. Percy had saved Fred, and then spent his remaining time there calming Ginny down. He had acted like a real big brother. Ron had expected to be shocked. He had expected to find this so completely unexpected and he had, but not really. He was more taken aback by not finding it to be so out of place by thinking it was expected from Percy. Then again nothing like this had happened before, Percy has never had to do something like that, but it had suited him . . . because in a way It was something he usually did, scold the twin when the weren't listening and helping Mom and Dad with whatever they couldn't do.
But for as long as Ron could remember Percy had been without much emotion, expect frustration. Though Percy had looked a little frustrated that day too. Ron turned to look at Harry who was quietly talking to Hermione. They had become friends and Ron felt a little jealous because Hermione would stop speaking whenever he was around, So Harry would always had to ask Ron leaven them alone for a second. It wasn't that Ron thought Hermione was doing something to turn Harry against him, though maybe she was. . . but it was frustrating, irritating and Hermione had start to get kinda pretty-
Ron turned to look at his sister. She was smiling and laughing with her friends, she didn't look worried or scared about her brother. The twins where whispering about something. They both had conspiratorial smiles. You couldn't tell they had been fighting heatedly only hours ago. But still maybe it was a twin thing. Ron wondered what they could be planing, but it was most likely that he would fine out soon any way. Then he looked over at Percy how was just staring up at the ceremony stiff as a bored. For some reason that image was replaced by one of Percy chucking to one of Oliver's jokes. Just as Ron had thought Oliver was sitting opposite Percy. He wasn't making any noise. Now and then he would look over at Percy, worried.
Worried? To him Percy looked fine. But just then Percy turned to face Oliver. To Ron he looked to have his normal blank expression but it softened at little at Oliver's stares. Percy smiled and said something to Oliver. Oliver shuck his head and smiled at Percy, though he looked to still be worried. Percy looked fine to Ron but Oliver though something was wrong. Ron wasn't sure who he should trust because Oliver was easy to read and Ron used think Percy was too. But Oliver most likely knew his brother better then he did, and he was worried while Ron was not . Oliver found Percy easy to read. Ron just noticing just how illiterate he was.
looked down at his hands and though about everything. It's not that he thought that all he had done was wrong but it seemed that and maybe, just maybe this year he would try to do . . . something right.
