1. *SMOOSH* You've succumbed! Woohooo!

2. You write a fantastic Percy. Srsly, he's so pompously perfect.

3. *smooshes Penny* Oh, Percy is stuffy and annoying, but you can't deny the attraction. ;)

[fiery_flamingo]

1. Resistance is futile!

2. *blushes* Thanks. He's very much against contractions. xD Weirdo.

3. Well, she was being nice for a reason! Cute bumbling Gryffindor that also learned how to read? They don't issue many of those. And then it backfired on her horribly.

I do not have a Twin icon, or I would have used that. As it is, Bill is making rumblings in my head about wanting to be let out.

*Ahem* Moving on.

Perfectly Prattish Percy, how we love you. Really. How can you not know a girl you've shared four years worth of class with? Now granted, it was History of Magic, but still, unacceptable.

[fiery_flamingo]

I know, right? Obviously she sat in his immediate vicinity if she's nicking quills off him and yet he was completely clueless. Oh Percy, we have to discuss your priorities. What else is there to do in History of Magic than to look at the pretty girls?

Nice! I loved Percy being so focused on trying to make an impression. Though I can't imagine him being late on the first day/meeting of anything.
Penelope is awesome. Responsible, sensible but normal. She's not a Hermione nor a Percy but she's smart and responsible enough to be a prefect. I like that.
These two make a lovely couple.
I expect this prompt table to be very entertaining :)

[fiery_flamingo]

:D Thanks! I know, punctual prefect Percy would generally die before being late to anything but I figured 'hey, busy train, lots of running shouting children, he totally got caught up reprimanding someone' xD That's my train of thought on it anyway.

Glad you like Penny. :D She is pretty normal though she's a Ravenclaw and does have some quirks when it comes to academia and studying which we'll definitely see later.

Hope you enjoy whats to come!

Percy is delightfully clueless.

LOVE IT. I giggled my way through most of it.

Fave line: What kind of Prefect was she?

XD

Great job, dood!

[fiery_flamingo]

He is, isn't he? And Penny's decided that he's just too dumb to live right now. She was reaching out! When the pretty girl speaks to you, be nice back, you moron.

:D Yeah, Percy's utterly horrified at the thought that not only is she passing notes but she's a Prefect passing notes in a meeting for Prefects. The ranks have been infiltrated! RED ALERT!!!111

Thank you!

[elle_blessing]

HA! Moron. TEE HEE.

... thank you. I now have that pesky alarm sound in my brains. :P (though it's mildly amusing given Percy's running about, brandishing a cauldron)

[fiery_flamingo]

LOL Glad to be of service. :D And now I have that image to go along with the alarm so I think we've evened out. :P

I love the alternate POV about Percy! I had never thought about it before, but since Percy's first year as prefect was Ron and Harry's first year, all of them were running late for the train!

Percy's reaction to Penelope was hilarious! :D

[fiery_flamingo]

I am so glad that someone else followed me on my logic train for why he was late though I never explicitly stated it. :D Actually, I looked it up (because I like continuity when possibly) and Percy went through the wall first so there was a chance of him being on time but whatever.

Glad you liked it!
