Oh, it's nothing you should disapprove of. I need the assistance of someone anal-retentive and intelligent to make up for my lack in those departments. You're the first one I thought of. Come by the clinic so I can explain in person? I'll take you to lunch and make it worth your time.
Don't worry about the collars. Just a bit of a wild idea I had. And don't go insulting me by comparing me to whichever of my brothers has most recently made a drunken sot of himself. I'm guessing Ron?
This may come as a surprise to you, Ginny, but 'wild idea' and 'don't worry' are not good bedfellows. You weren't there for the scene at the Ministry affair a few weeks back?
I'll disregard the anal-retentive comment because I can't truly deny it. Where is this clinic of yours located? And when would you like me to stop by?
Re: Private to PercyneverginevraMarch 27 2008, 08:36:47 UTC
The twins have just made you wary about wild ideas. I don't blame you for that. But it's nothing I'm planning to get you involved in, so that's the end of the discussion, yes?
There is nothing wrong with being anal-retentive. I'm getting in trouble because I'm not, so it must be a good thing.
Bloody hell, Percy, have you not been by here? Oh...now that I think about it, maybe you shouldn't come here. Maybe I should meet you somewhere that doesn't have the potential to get you into trouble.

Oh Gin,
You are my shoulder to cry on then, are you? And I haven't had like two extra minutes to rub together. Well, that is not exactly true; I certainly seemed to found enough time to catch every single sappy break up song and read tons of poetry. I'm turning into a wuss, I swear.
I'm not trying to keep it from everyone. Just seemed like I needed time to get things a bit more right in my head. That has yet to happen.
How about I stop by? Tell me when, the weekend's good unless you got a date???
Re: [Private to Ron]neverginevraMarch 27 2008, 07:52:02 UTC
Come on, Ronnikins. Who would be a more perfect shoulder than me? I've had just about every relationship problem in the world - which is a miracle considering I've never been in a normal one.
For the love of Merlin, do NOT turn into some soppy sap listening to violins and Celestina Warbuck and sobbing into your homework. Honestly, Ron, I expect better of you. I expect you to at least come over here drunk and throw things around. It's much more productive.
Look, I get you want some space. As long as I know that you know that you don't have to be alone if you want someone to talk to, I'm satisfied.
What imaginary bloke in this world am I supposed to have a date with? No one will come near me anymore, don't you know that? Come by this weekend.
It's alright. I know that you haven't had much time lately for... well, anything, really. It's fine, I know Katie understands too. But if we need help, I'll let you know, ok? Thanks for the offer.
Anyway, what's all this about a drinking problem? Been there, done that... it's not fun. And if I remember right, a certain sister of mine gave me a good firm smack upside the head and threatened to camp in my flat until I stopped? Shall I do the same? Or worse, move you from your flat into the house? I'm sure Katie could use some company.

None of us has. Still, it's a bit ridiculous not to stop by when I work at the hospital. But you know how things are here. All frantic, all the time.
Oh, don't get tee-totaler on me. I can't even leave for take-away if I think it'l put any of my patients at any inconvenience. I suppose I'm too selfless for a real drinking problem. Or too broke. Or just leery of the headaches involved.

I wish I had time, dad. Maybe this weekend? I'm run a bit mad these days.

I've been quite busy, of course, but if you need help, I ought to be able to make time. What favour?
You've got me concerned with this request for collars. And from the twins, no less. What do you need those for?
Don't even think about developing an alcohol addiction. Brilliant or otherwise. Dragging one sibling home intoxicated is more than enough.
Your brother,
Percy
