"Percy... just a warning..." Grace started, "They're evil."
"Grace..." Percy laughed, "They can't be that bad."
Grace knocked on the door, Vernon Dursley was the one to open it.
"Hello- Oh it's you," Vernon rolled his eyes, "... and you've brought a friend."
"Yes, Uncle Vernon, this is my boyfriend," Grace said, gesturing to Percy.
Percy extended his hand, "Percy Weasley."
Vernon looked at his hand the same way he had looked at Grace when she first arrived, "Oh... you're the boy who kept sending her letters last Summer."
"Dad! Keep it down, I'm-" Dudley called from the over room, "Grace?!"
He quickly got up and straightened his hair, smoothing his clothes. Harry walked from the stairs.
"Grace!" Harry exclaimed, he ran over to her, but Dudley was quick to block her.
"Who's this?" Dudley asked, talking to Percy.
"Percy Weasley," Percy extended his hand once more, for Dudley.
Dudley mirrored his fathers actions and immediately had his eyes on Grace, "Oh... him."
Harry and Grace couldn't help but chuckle, Percy was really confused.
"Well... come in, I suppose." Dudley said.
Grace walked in, "Where's Aunt Petunia?"
"Out." Vernon said, dully. "So um... Peter, what kind of telly do you watch?"
Percy furrowed his eyebrows, "What is that... a sweet?"
Grace smiled, "It's entertainment."
Percy still looked confused so she grabbed his hand and walked to the living room T.V. she turned it on, Percy jumped back.
"What is that?" Percy exclaimed, falling into the chair.
"It's just the news..." She smiled, "Look... it's a commercial for a restaurant down the road... in other news, Sirius Black, still at large..."
"Mr. Crouch will def-" Percy caught himself, "I mean, that's been going on for almost a year..."
"Yeah!" Dudley yelled, "Sylus Brown! He's really crazy! I saw him once... and fought him off!"
"Wow, Dudley...impressive." Grace said sarcastically.
"Alright... you've had your fun, now why are you here?" Vernon asked, "Please tell me you're not pregnant..."
"No!" Grace and Percy said in unison, they both blushed before Grace spoke.
"No, no, definitely not." Grace said, "We're here to take Harry to the Weasley's."
"Back to his home?" Vernon asked, "Aren't they like poor or something?"
Percy frowned, "Our financial position shouldn't be judged by a muggle!"
"Percy..." Grace said, grabbing his arm.
Vernon laughed, eyeing Percy, "Look at your clothes boy! Looks like they're meant for a boy almost twice your size! I don't think Harry should stay with a poor family like them. If he did even, I hope Harry wouldn't take Pity on them," Vernon jeered, Percy clenched his fists, "Does your dad even work? Just like Harry and Grace's dad, an unemployed drunk!"
Percy looked down, his jumper was obviously hand-me-down, and due to the frequent taunting from Draco Malfoy he knew exactly what to say in these situations... but sadly it lacked common sense.
"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MY FAMILY!!! YOU'RE JUST A MUGGLE WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!!! AT LEAST MY PARENTS DON'T SPOIL US AND PUT A T ELLY IN EVERY BLOODY ROOM!!! MY DAD WORKS HARD SO MY MUM AND SIBLINGS CAN COME HOME TO A WELL-FUNCTIONING HOME!!! ALSO GRACE HAS HAD A BETTER 3 MONTHS HERE THEN SHE HAD IN YOUR HOME!!! BECAUSE WE TREAT HER LIKE A PERSON AND NOT AN INCONVENIENCE!!!" Percy yelled.
Grace has seen Percy lose his temper before, but never this much. His face was red with anger, and the Television had zapped to a screen which only had gray fuzz on it. Dudley stared at the telly in disappointment as Vernon looked at Percy, mouth agape.
"Get. Out. Now," Vernon said, Percy disapparated. Grace stood still, and grabbed Harry's shirt, Vernon pulled him back, "Now."
Grace walked to the door and walked out, still in shock over what happened. She looked up the street to see Percy angrily waiting for her, leaning against a stop sign.
"Ok... what happened there?!" Grace yelled, slamming their bedroom door shut. "That got way out of hand, way to quickly!"
"Did you hear what he was saying Grace?!" Percy yelled, throwing his coat on the ground. "He has no right to tell me that my family's poor! He doesn't even know me!"
"Well you didn't have to yell at him!" Grace yelled, "I may never see my brother again, you twit!"
"Oh don't be so dramatic!" Percy yelled, "Honestly! You'll never see your brother again? Do you seriously think they'll never let you back in their home after this?"
"I don't know! When I met them last Summer they were ready to throw me out at the door!" Grace yelled.
"But..." Percy stopped storming around the room, "They're your family."
"Yeah well! That's just how it is Percy!" She yelled, his face turned red again.
"Why are you acting like I'm in the wrong!?" Percy yelled, "I defended you and Harry!"
Little to the couples knowledge, George, Fred, Ron, and Ginny Weasley were listening at the door.
"Who sounds madder?" Ginny whispered.
"Grace..." Fred said.
"No... Perce," George said.
"It doesn't matter!" Grace yelled, "How are we supposed to get Harry now?"
"We'll go back tomorrow!" Percy yelled.
"That's not how it w-" Grace paused and stared at Percy's face, her jaw dropped his eye lids were gray and there were bags forming under his eyes, "What happened to your eyes?"
"What?" Percy asked.
"Come here," Grace held out her hand, Percy walked toward her, she grabbed his face, "H-have you been sleeping?"
"Of course I have..." Percy said, looking down at the floor, Grace tilted his head so he was looking directly at her, she waved her hand in front of his face and suddenly his eyes were red and there were heavy bags under his eyes. He looked like he had been punched in the face several times.
"What the hell?" She exclaimed, her hand covering her mouth, "Oh my God!"
"I just needed a few nights to stay up," Percy said. "That's all."
"You look horrible!" Grace was on the brink of tears, she led him to the bed, "You need to sleep! Right now!"
"Grace..." Percy grabbed her arm.
"Right. Now," Grace said, tugging him down into the bed. He was reluctant at first, but Grace looked scared, and although they just had their first real fight, he couldn't stand seeing her scared.
He sighed and got up, putting on pajama pants and a shirt. He crawled in to the bed and laid carefully on Grace's chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist, she stroked his hair, their legs were all sorts of intertwined.
"I'm sorry," Percy said. "About everything."
"I'm sorry too," Grace said, "Why didn't you sleep?"
"I-I wanted the job," Percy said, smiling.
"I hate you," Grace giggled, looking down at him, he couldn't help but laugh, "I'm mad at you."
"I don't think so," Percy laughed.
"Oh... you're so sure?" She asked, Percy hovered over her and started kissing her neck, "Still mad at me?"
"Yes..." Grace laughed, he started kissing along to her stomach. She started laughing, "Stop!"
Percy smiled, he continued to kiss her neck, "I love you."
"I love you," Grace responded, he laid back down on her chest.
"We might have to switch our positions..." Percy said, laughing.
"Why is that?" Grace asked.
"I'm laying on your breast," Percy laughed, Grace smiled and lightly slapped his face. They switched as Grace straddled him, he grabbed her waist, "What's this then?"
"Hmm... A sneak peek of what your reward will be for taking a nap," Grace smiled.
"Is it good?" Percy asked.
"Very," She started to pull off her tank top strap as Fred and George Weasley burst through the door.
"So... how did the argument en-" They stopped in their tracks as Percy and Grace buried themselves in their covers, "We should probably just leave you two to it then."
"No..." Grace stuck her head out of the covers, "I'll be down in a minute... Percy's going to take a nap."
Fred and George nodded, "Ok... um... well... see you later." They both left, laughing very loudly in the hallway.
Grace rolled her eyes and kissed Percy's forehead, she fixed her hair and walked out the door, "Sleep."
"Yes, my love." Percy laughed.
He slept for 2 minutes.
