Percy Weasley x Oliver Wood
Percy P.O.V:
My palms were sweaty and my throat was dry. Me and Oliver were standing idle, just staring at the front door of The Burrow. I felt Oliver’s hand entertain with mine and I glanced at him. “ Don’t worry Perce, it’s going to be fine. Everythings going to go fine. “ He tried to soothe me. I gave him a shaky smile then dropped it. “ But what if it doesn’t? What if they- “ “ Ah! “ He put a finger to my lips and gave me a slight glare.
“ Let’s not think negatively now. All we can hope for is the best and if it does go wrong, well… we’ll worry about that later… “ All of the sudden, the door in front of us flung open and my mother flung herself at me, wrapping us in a bone crushing hug. I could feel Oliver’s anxiety spike as my mom squeezed me.
“ Hey mum… “ I smiled softly. “ Percy dear! Oh I’m so glad you could make it today! And you must be Oliver Wood! It’s a pleasure to meet you! You were Harry’s captain for a few years at Hogwarts, correct? “ Oliver nodded and blushed slightly. “ Yes, I did. “ Mum waved her hands and dragged us both inside, insisting we let her do everything and sitting us down on the couch.
I sighed internally, some things never change. “ Well, you two are here first! Percy was always the punctual one. “ She called back from the kitchen. “ ARTHUR! GET IN HERE! PERCY AND HIS FRIEND ARE HERE! “ Oliver gave me a knowing glance and I flicked him. “ Ah, Percy! It’s good to see you! “ I stood up from my chair and embraced my father. Oliver rose beside me. After we pulled away, Oliver held out his hand and my dad grasped it firmly.
“ Hello! I’m Arthur Weasley, Percy’s dad. It’s lovely to meet you, what’s your name? “ Oliver nodded. “ I’m Oliver. Oliver Wood. The pleasure is all mine Mr.Weasley. “ As we sat back down, Oliver and my father made small talk until… “ -and I grew up in a muggle house… “ My father froze and something lit up in his eyes. I groaned out loud. Oliver looked at me, startled.
“ Percy? Is everything alright? “ I rubbed my forehead and gave my father a pointed look. “ Can you for once not harass a guest who has any sort of knowledge on muggle items!? “ My dad only grinned. “ Sorry Percy, I just can’t help it. “ I sighed and leaned against Oliver. “ Good luck… “ I mumbled. He looked at me worriedly. “ O-Ok?? “
This led to a 15 minute long conversation about the uses of Electric Scooters. My eyes were just about to roll back into my head when the doorbell rang. My mother ran from the kitchen to answer it and when she came back, Ron, Harry, and Hermione accompanied her. The trio walked over to us and sat down. I straightened up and sent them a grateful look. Ron looked at me weird but decided to ignore it.
One by one, my siblings walked through the door. First Bill (accompanied by Fleur and Victoire of course), then George, Ginny, and finally Charlie. My mother gathered us all outside at the table and we sat down to dig in. I was really hungry. I chewed silently as my family chatted around me, only talking a little bit with Charlie and George. Oliver on the other hand was talking up a storm.
Currently, he was debating back and forth with Harry, Ron, and Charlie about something, probably quidditch if I knew him as well as I thought I did. Once everyone was finished, I reached under the table and squeezed Oliver’s hand, causing him to turn to me and his eyes to flash with understanding.
I stood up and cleared my throat. The table fell silent. “ I… I have an ann- a few announcements to make. “ I looked out at my family and swallowed the lump in my throat. “ I-I… I’m gay. “ There was not a sound. Then something surprising happened. “ Oh Percy… You really think I would treat you any differently because you like men? “ I looked up and Ron was smiling at me. I teared up. My family began to speak out and reassure me that they would never think differently of me and that they still loved me.
“ You said you had a few announcements though? “ My sister said, cocking her head. I looked down. “ Yeah… God, I don’t know why I decided to say this all at one lunch. I think I’m going to give mum an aneurysm. “ She laughed. “ Oh come on Percy, I won’t die right here. It can’t be that shocking. “ I looked at her and raised my eyebrow. Her face paled. “ It’s not bad news is it? “
I bit my lip. “ Not necessarily, quite shocking, but not bad really. “ Bill gave me a weird look. “ Come on Perce, you’re scaring us, what is it? “ I snorted and straightened my back. “ I’m in a relationship. “ I said. Everyone relaxed. “ Oh, that’s it? God Perce, you had us worried there for a second, we thought you were dying or something. “ I fiddled with my fingers and bit my lip.
“ I-I… I did not elaborate. I’m… I’m married. “ Everyone froze in their seats. “ What!? “ My mother shreaked. I winced. “ Yeah… “ I mumbled. “ S-Since when!? “ George sputtered. “ …3 years ago… And I had been dating him since 6th year in Hogwarts. “ My mum fanned herself as she leaned back in her chair. My dad gripped her arm and pursed his lips.
“ I-I can’t believe it! Why didn’t you tell us!? “ Ginny cried out in frustration. “ Well, first of all, I wasn’t out to you all yet. Second, it was a small thing, we didn’t want to make a big deal about it and we were already so far deep in the lie to you all that I was single, it hadn’t made sense to tell you all… “ Ron leaned back in his chair as well. “ So why now? Why this lunch and not never? “
I flinched. “ That brings me to my third announcement but by the way you took the news that I was married I don’t know what you’ll say… “ My dad closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “ We’re fine, Percy. Shocked, yes. A little hurt, yes as well. Angry, of course not. We love and accept you, even though we are a little upset you didn’t tell us before. We promise not to take your next announcement as bad. But first, who is your husband? “
I snickered and looked at Oliver. He beamed up at me and then looked back at my family. “ Wait- YOU MARRIED OLIVER WOOD!? “ My youngest brother screamed. Charlie’s jaw dropped and my mother’s eyes widened. “ Well… At least it’s someone we know… “ Harry spoke up, smiling at both of us. I grinned at him. “ Ok… Percy it gay. Got it. He’s been married for three years and didn’t tell us. Ok. Percy got married to my old quidditch captain. WHAT!? “ George waved his hands around. I snorted and my husband burst out laughing.
“ Well Percy, cahn your news get much mahre shahckeeng zan ziss? “ Fleur giggled. Oliver stood up and threw his arm around me. “ Believe me Fleur, it can. “ He gave her a dazzling smile. Bill paled. “ It can!? “ I nodded shyly. Turning to my niece. “ Hey Vic! “ The little blonde girl grinned up at me. “ Hi Uncle Percy! “ I knelt down to her level and glanced back at Oliver for a second.
“ I have a surprise for you. “ Her eyes lit up and she gleaned at me. “ You do!? What is it? “ She bounced up and down in her chair excitedly. “ How would you like to have… a little cousin? “ There was a round of gasps around the table but Victorie only squealed. “ I’M GOING TO BE A BIG COUSIN! “ She screamed, shaking her head around. I threw my head back and laughed. “ Yup! “
She slid off her chair and ran around the table. I stood up from the table and Oliver walked over to me. “ Wait- Which one…? “ Ginny stuttered. Oliver pointed at me and wrapped his arm around me, placing one hand on my stomach. Bill and Charlie stood up and hugged me gently while my mother came shoving through and sobbed with joy as she kissed me on the cheek.
“ How many weeks are you in? “ Ron asked curiously. I grinned and rubbed my tummy. “ 10 weeks. “ Ginny lost it. “ You’ve been keeping this from us for 3 months!? “ I glared at her. “ No, of course not. We didn’t even know until two weeks ago when Oliver finally bullied me into going to see a med-wizard. “ My mother cooed over my stomach some more before Oliver hurried me back to my seat.
“ Oliver. I’m 10 weeks pregnant, not made of glass! I can handle standing up for five minutes, idiot! “ He only shushed me and handed me a glass of water. I sighed and took a sip. This was going to be a long pregnancy…
