"Don't you think you should call an expert?" Audrey asked nervously, watching her boyfriend fiddle with the new television that he had installed. "Electricity isn't something to fiddle with."
"I know that," Percy grumbled, still not moving away from the box. "I'm not incapable though."
"This is a muggle contraption," she pointed out. "Your father would be more qualified to fix it than you are."
"Don't you trust me?" he questioned, looking at her over his shoulder. She took a sip of her wine instead of answering. "Oh Circe," he whined, turning back to the contraption that had a lot more wires than he thought it needed. "Tell me honestly, do you think I can fix it?"
"Sweetheart, no," she answered, shrugging. "You're smart with politics and business and everything other than a muggle contraption. Firecall your father, Hermione or Harry. They'll know. It doesn't hurt to step back once in awhile."
"Fine," he huffed, grabbing his own glass of wine and taking a gulp out of that. "But I'm not happy about it."
