"You're joking, Perce! You actually are joking... I don't think I've heard you joke since you were –"
— Fred Weasley's last words
It was a typical holiday day at the Burrow. The usual hustle bustle had increased as the Burrow was filled with more children than usual as it was the Christmas Holidays.
Only one person was away from the common din. Stuck in the room, busy studying was a young Percy Weasley, a Gryffindor third year.
Down in the kitchen, Fred, George, Ron and Charlie were being extremely noisy playing a game of exploding snap.
Percy walked into the kitchen with an annoyed look.
"Do you have to create such a raucous? Some of us have to study, you know?"
Charlie grinned." A little fun hurts no one Perce, It's Christmas after all."
"Most certainly not! I have to top my class. Plus, I have more subjects than you had taken Charlie," Percy lectured.
"That and you don't know how to have fun," George said grinning.
"Yes, I do," Percy said indignantly.
"No," his brother teased.
"You just don't me then," Percy declared.
"Okay, Perce, we'll give you a chance, "George said," Tell us a joke."
"Yea," the others cheered.
"umm...Okay," Percy paused to think.
After what Fred claimed to be hours, Percy cleared his throat," Ahem! I think I got one."
"Let's hear it, "said Charlie.
"Knock Knock," Percy said.
The other just stared at Percy.
" oh, you're supposed to say 'Who's There?'"
"okay, Who's there?"
"Boo"
His brothers had no idea what to say now.
"You should say 'Boo Who?' "Said Percy irritated.
" Boo who? " they chanted.
"What's there to cry, it's a joke!," Percy said laughing.
His brothers looked at him in wonder. He had never laughed like a maniac that way before. He looked up to see his brothers with blank faces.
"It's a muggle joke!"he screamed," It goes like this-
-knock knock
-Who's there?
-Boo
-Boo Who?
- It's a joke there's no need to cry "
"Oh!"The others collective they giggled at the joke.
"Try-us-with-another-one," Fred said laughing.
"Okay," Percy said," Knock Knock."
"Who's there?"the others chorused.
"Cash!"
" Cash who?"
"I don't want a cashew, thanks. Walnuts will do."
The young Weasleys laughed again.
"Where did you get that?" Ron demanded.
"A muggle friend told me," he mumbled.
"Ooh I got one," Charlie said excited," knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"You know," Charlie said gleefully.
"You know who?" the others asked.
Then, just as they all got the joke, the kitchen was filled with laughter.
The joke session went on for almost an hour after which Percy got up to say," Okay study time!"
"You're joking, Perce! You actually are joking... I don't think I've heard you joke since you were thirteen."
