Torturing Percy again...

[icarus]

ygrane mentioned a particular Squicky pairing. Ah. I couldn't resist.



"Well, you realise Mister Weasley, that traditionally the 'Head Boy' apprentices to one of the staff members; and that said apprenticeship can take many forms?"

Percy swallowed. Oh, he'd read up on this. And read between the lines. "Yes, sir."

Professor Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully, and folded his hands as he leaned back in his chair. "You are accorded the right, of course, to choose the person to whom you will be apprenticed. We have many younger professors here who are very knowledgeable and... skilled... in those certain 'additional' areas of advanced magic, who might also be appealing to a young man your age."

Percy had already decided however. Only the best would do.

"I would be apprenticed to you, Professor Dumbledore." He glanced up as a shocked expression crossed the Headmaster's face. "Um. If that's all right?"

Dumbledore merely blinked behind his spectacles. "Why, yes. Ahem. Yes, that's... fine. If rather unexpected."

How bad could it be after all? Percy mentally congratulated himself on getting out of the more onerous duties of being Head Boy. Obviously Professor Dumbledore was far too old to --

"I will need to see Professor Snape about a particular potion, however." He twinkled at Percy apologetically. "At my age I'm fear it is a bit of a necessity. Not to worry though, Mister Weasley, I should be 'up for the job' as it were."

Er...

I was trying to give you good fb, the kind I'd like to have. Do unto others, and all that, you know.

I said you wrote it well - not that I'd like to see Dumbeldore and Percy get it on.

Ick. *takes swig of mouthwash, passes it on*

No, that was a thank you, really. I just couldn't resist the wisecrack. ;)
