Little Lucas isn't quite so little any more
Percy and Oliver are discussing their son, Lucas.
Percy sighed. "Our son has his first girlfriend, Olly. A girlfriend at the age of 14."
Oliver asked, "What's wrong with that exactly?"
Percy said, "He's far too young for that sort of thing, of course."
Oliver smirked. "Really? I seem to recall a certain Weasley who had his first girlfriend at the very same age."
Percy muttered, "This isn't about me, this is about our son, of course."
Oliver raised an eyebrow. "This isn't really about Luke having his first girlfriend. Is it, Perce?"
Percy stated, "Of course it is."
Oliver shook his head. "No, it's not. You're afraid that we're going to lose him or something."
Percy told him, "Of course I'm not."
Oliver pointed out, "You keep saying 'of course', Perce. I know that you say that when you're worried about something."
Percy admitted, "Maybe you're right. I have been a little... 'worried' that this might mean we're losing our little Lucas."
Oliver put a hand on his shoulder and whispered, "Our little Lucas isn't quite so little any more, he's 14 for Merlin's sake."
Percy replied, "I'm well aware of that fact, Olly. Thanks for rubbing it in."
Oliver reassured him, "We're not going to lose Luke just because he has a girlfriend. In fact, him having a girlfriend might mean we'll get to see more of him than we already do."
Percy smiled slightly. "Yeah, I suppose he'll want to introduce us to her at some point. Especially if it's serious."
Oliver beamed, "Exactly."
