This sounds like fun!

Gacked from wikdsushi and resonant8.

Ask any character from any of my stories a question, and they will answer:

Harry and Percy in 'Skinny Dipping' - do you want to know what they think of their new relationship? Or what about Ron's opinion of the whole affair?

Ron and Draco in 'Beg Me For It' & 'Sex, Drugs and Death Eater Rock' - do you want to know what Draco thinks Ron does for a living? Percy's opinion of what he saw that night?

Do you dare to ask Snape a question from 'Primer to the Dark Arts'?

Ron and Percy about 'Not My Affair'? Ooo. Did Fred and George ever figure it out?

Harry bursts out laughing.

Percy (shocked): That's none of your business!

Harry continues to laugh.

Percy: It's not funny, Harry. (He sits up straight, chin high.) I think all your readers should understand that pond scum --

Harry: It wasn't pond scum! It was the coating on the bottom of a lily pad!

Percy (continues relentlessly): -- pond scum is unsanitary, rife with bacteria, both Muggle and magical, and is likely to carry the eggs of Nargles and other common household pests...

Harry: It does not.

Percy: ... and under no circumstances do I recommend its use for - for anything.

Sushi: So, does that mean you found something else?

Harry rolls his eyes at Percy and nods emphatically.

Percy: Harry! (He pulls Harry close and whispers under his breath. Fortunately, our reporter has excellent hearing.) At least one of us has worked for the Ministry and knows how to handle the press! They're not really asking about the lube, they're trying to trick us into admitting we're still sleeping together. Just be vague and say things with which no one can disagree.

Harry: I really don't care, Percy.

Percy: Well, I have a career to consider and a scandal with The Boy Who Lived --

Harry: Don't call me that.

Percy: -- is not one of my long-term goals. And I won't call you that if you stop acting like an ass. (Percy extends his hand to the reporter, with a false smile.) Thank you very much for your time, it has been lovely chatting with you. My mother insists that you try her lemonade, which is excellent by-the-way...

The disappointed reporter picks up her notebook and briefcase and follows him into the kitchen.

Out at the car, she is surprised to find Harry waiting for her.

Harry: The answer is yes.

Sushi: Pardon?

Harry: We did find a better lubricant. Percy insists on nothing but the best. He actually has very good taste, and he's going to be picking out everything, since I don't care what colour is next to what, and as for how the furniture is arranged.. well, so long as the place has four walls, a roof and a door, I don't see why it matters.

Reporter blinks at him.

Harry explains: At some point Percy has to understand that image isn't everything. Be sure to spell his name right though, it really pisses him off when people get it wrong. Would probably make him madder than your article. (Harry gives her a winning smile.) Now, I've gotta run. Better talk to Ron...
