Luna and Penelope at the moment.
“Mum, I’m fine,” Percy insisted as Mrs. Weasley took a few temperature measurements on his forehead.
“I’m only making sure you aren’t completely sick, Percy,” Mrs. Weasley scolded. “Last time that happened, it was a disaster!”
“Mum, you're overreacting!” Percy interjected, before letting out a loud sneeze.
“See? Even that sneeze agrees with me!" Mrs. Weasley said frantically.
'Just don't overreact! We've been through this!" Percy groaned.
“There should be some Pepperup Potions here,” Mrs. Weasley muttered, then turned to Charlie. “You mind getting one for your brother before it gets worse?”
“I’m on it, Mum,” Charlie replied, giving her a thumbs up before leaving for the kitchen.
“We’re having visitors on Christmas Eve and today, and you don’t want them to get sick like you,” Mrs. Weasley scolded, sitting next to Percy.
“Who are the visitors?” Bill piped up from rechecking Percy’s temperature.
“Oliver Wood, Penelope Clearwater - those are Percy’s friends - Luna Lovegood, - Ginny’s friend - Lee Jordan and his younger siblings,” Mrs. Weasley listed.
“Wow. It looks like I get to see Wood again,” Bill said, nudging his younger brother’s shoulder who was now covered up with blankets like a blanket burrito. “Wait, who's Lee again?”
“The Quidditch Commentator and the twin’s best friend,” Percy replied, rubbing his nose before it got worse.
“Ah - I remember now,” Bill replied, nodding. “They didn’t mention he has siblings. Do they go to Hogwarts?”
“Nope. They’re muggles,” George’s voice said, poking his head into Percy’s room. “And they attend a regular Middle School.”
“They must be envious of Lee getting to go to Hogwarts, right?” Bill asked as Percy let out a sneeze.
“They sure are. They only get to see him during Winter Break, Spring Break, and Summer,” George replied, nodding, then glancing at Percy. “That was a loud sneeze mate.”
“Thanks, George,” Percy replied, rolling his eyes. Great. Just great. He needed to be supervised by his older brothers and younger brothers just so he wouldn’t get sick.

All of the Weasleys who were in Percy’s room continued to talk, while Percy looked like a lump potato sack, and stayed out of their conversation until he sneezed again and got their attention.
There was a knock at the door, George left to go get it and was greeted by Luna Lovegood and Penelope Clearwater.
“Hello,” George said simply, before Ginny came over from the living room, and jumped onto Luna, giving her a big hug.
“YOU’RE HERE! YAY!” Ginny shouted happily, jumping up and down on her Ravenclaw friend.
“Goodness. . . ,” Penelope said, looking a bit terrified of the Weasley sister. She turned to George, who looked like he was about to explode, and asked him, “Is she always like this?”
“Pretty much when she sees Luna,” George replied, getting out of shock. “I believe she’s like this outside of school.” he looked around, and it was snowing again. “You must be freezing. You can come inside –” he said before hearing Percy’s loud sneeze coming from inside his room upstairs. “ – Just don’t catch a cold.”
“Will do,” Penelope said, giving him a thumbs up. All four of them went back inside, Luna and Penelope taking off their warm coats and having their jumpers under them, and took some spare slippers. They heard another loud sneeze, followed by some coughing from Percy and Molly freaking out. Penelope frowned, looking worried. “Who’s sick?”
“Percy,” Ginny replied as she sat back down on the couch with Luna and the others (Harry, Ron, and Hermione). “At least I think he is. He’s usually the only one down with a cold during winter.”
“Right. . . I remember his 3rd Year when he was super sick,” Penelope suddenly said. “‘Not his proudest moment,’ he would say.”
“I can assure you that this is not your proudest moment either,” Fred Weasley piped up from his spot in the living room.
"Good evening Fred," Penelope greeted him, shaking his hand.
"Good evening to you, Penelope," Fred replied after shaking her hand. "This isn't the last time you'll hear Percy coughing or sneezing. It'll be a wild Winter Break –"
"ACHOO!" Percy's loud sneeze came from upstairs and then they heard a groan.
"CHARLIE WEASLEY! ARE YOU ALMOST FINISHED MAKING THE PEPPERUP POTION?!" they heard Molly Weasley shout or as Penelope referred to her: Mrs. Weasley.
"IT'S ALMOST DONE! JUST HANG ON A MOMENT!" Charlie panicked, hearing his mother shout at him. "IS HE DYING?!" he then questioned after a brief moment.
"HE'S JUST COUGHING!" Mrs. Weasley shouted. "HURRY UP YOUNG MAN BEFORE YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER BECOMES MORE ILL!"
Chaos erupted in Burrow after the two Ravenclaws arrived. Well, this was going to be an overwhelming Winter Break for them.
