I'm hoping this one shows progression between the two so tell please tell me if you agree. Still from Audrey's perspective. All rights got to J.K Rowling (Who I am not).
It was lunchtime and Audrey was eager to get something down her throat as quickly as possible. Her stomach had been growling for the last half hour and she was well aware that Percy had just kept her working longer for his own sick amusement. What monster have I created, she laughed to herself. It had been six months since their first little venture to the Three Broomsticks and she'd continued to invite him every month since then and Percy seemed to have changed, just a bit.
There was the sound of running footsteps behind her and someone called her name,
"Miss Witherspoon!"
"Ah, Mr Weasley, sorry but I'm very hungry and I simply must eat before an innocent bystander is attacked for his lunch."
Percy blinked, "Oh, alright, erm, I was just wondering," he cleared his throat, "There's a very nice Indian restaurant round the corner outside, I was wondering if you would be interested in accompanying me?"
"Well if you can stand my stomach rumbles for an extra five minutes I'm sure I would be most interested," Audrey grinned. Percy smiled back. He can smile! It's a miracle.
Fifteen minutes later saw them sitting at a table talking animatedly about Quidditch history,
"It's quite unfair," Percy said, "I mean, people talk constantly of how rubbish the Chudley Cannons are, but they never say anything about their frankly brilliant victory in 1892, their keeper was the best they'd had in centuries."
"Well, no one who saw that match in 18-something, is really here today to tell us how brilliant it was so we can't judge them by the past," Audrey countered, alright to the passer by it may have looked more like an argument, "If it was like the Tornadoes who won two years ago, instead of a hundred or so, then it has more of an impact but people don't even remember the year the Cannons last won."
"Well in that case I just proved you wrong," Percy stated,
"Do you even support the Cannons?"
"Erm, no," Percy said,
"Then why are you standing up for them?"
"Well my younger brother supports them with his life," Percy shrugged looking down at the table,
"Oh, is he one of those super loyal fans?"
"Sort of," Percy was still looking at the table and this puzzled Audrey to no end.
"So what team do you support then?" Audrey asked wanting Percy to look up,
"Oh, the Tornadoes."
"Is that because they started winning," Audrey asked smiling,
"No actually," Percy grinned back. Wait, he's grinning, smiling's one thing but grinning, wow.
"It started when I was younger," Percy was turning steadily red, "I saw one of the female players, and I sort of… well, she was very pretty-
"You had a crush on a team member and so you decided to support them?!" Audrey had already burst into peals of laughter. Percy had gone a more tomato colour.
"Yeah, something like that," he had returned to looking at the table,
"Aw, don't worry Mr Weasley," Audrey touched his hand, she noticed he didn't tense, "I'm sure you're not the only one…"
"You're lying," Percy said,
She nodded incapable of more speech,
"You seem to find things even funnier than they really are."
"Hey if you can't laugh, what else have you got," Audrey smiled and took another bite from her meal. She noticed him thinking, before joining her in eating.
"So what about you?" Percy spoke again, "Who do you support?"
"Well thankfully it's a team that I can safely say I don't fancy one of the players."
"It was one time and then I couldn't find another team I liked as much."
"Yeah, the tornadoes kept all the good looking players for themselves, right?" Audrey laughed,
"That's not- You support the Holyhead Harpies?" Percy interrupted himself,
"That's right," Audrey grinned, "Got there in the end."
This chapter was more fun for me to write. And if you don't know the Holyhead Harpies is a team made entirely out of women so Audrey doesn't fancy any of them, that's how Percy makes the connection (not exactly a stroke of genius one my behalf but it made sense).
Audrey just likes being happy by the way and sees laughing as the best kind of medicine, I hope to expand on that later.
REVIEWS? ANYONE?!
