100quills fic - Building Blocks
“So, are you going to come with us?' Bill asked, looking at his little brother, waiting.
Percy hesitated, this did not add up, never before had they asked him whether he wanted to come or not, generally Bill asked Charlie, or Ron, if Charlie couldn't go, never Percy. Percy nodded, he finally decided, he wanted to repair, or just build up, his relationship with his family. This would be the perfect opportunity to do so.
That night, Percy, and his brother, minus Fred, were going to go out, to a small bar on the outskirts of town. Despite being nervous he didn't change his mind, he could go through with this, though he had only came to this bar with Oliver, to the point he was considered a regular.
“Hello, Percy,” the bartender said, smiling at them as they took their seat. He ignored the stares his brothers gave him and smiled.
“Hi Audrey,” he said, “how had the past few weeks been?'
“Busy, so many people have come by since the defeat of you know who,” she said, “what can I get you to drink?' she asked them.
Everyone ordered their drinks. Percy wandered why they looked so shocked, he did have a little bit of a life. They looked even more surprised when he ordered 'the usual'.
Percy decided to order only one drink that night, but it didn't go as planned, soon he drank so much, that he was not just tipsy, like normal, but drunk.
“I think it's tie we go,” Bill said, standing up. Percy stood as Bill helped them out of the bar. He still knew what was going on.
He smiled the next morning as Bill came in, asking him to explain last night. Percy realized that they did want to include him, or at least Bill did, and for now, that was enough for him. Start with the first building block.
