Hestia ignored the rumbling of her stomach. She wanted to finish up her paperwork before lunch so she could start her afternoon rounds straight afterwards. She was scrawling a few notes on the bottom of a chart with her self-inking quill when she heard a light knock on her door.

"Just a minute," she called, finishing her thought. When she was done, she put the chart away, straightened her robes and opened her door. Hestia had been expecting another Healer, or maybe one of the interns, not Percy Weasley standing at her door. She stared at him in shock for a moment before beaming at him.

"Percy! This is a lovely surprise. Come in," she said, ushering him into her office and shutting the door behind him.

Percy licked his chapped lips, his mouth suddenly feeling dry as she ushered him inside. He took in the sight of her and half-smiled, trying to keep his eyes from lingering. He suddenly understood the phrase "sight for sore eyes." She looked busy, though, and quite surprised. He probably should have asked before just surprising her. But she said it was lovely, so he'd believe her.

"Hello," he said, adjusting his glasses. "I thought I might answer your owl in person..." he said, trailing off, because the excuse sounded ridiculous even to his own ears, especially now that he couldn't quite remember what he wanted to say about it anyway. "How are you? Busy?"

Percy looked a bit hesitant, and Hestia hoped that he hadn't changed his mind about coming by. "Did you? So tell me, what do you think about the unorthodox mating habits of Welsh dragons?" She asked with a sly grin. "And you've got perfect timing. I just finished off my last chart and was about to take my lunch. So we can have lunch together, if you'd like."

Her glance lingered on his lips and then she frowned. "Percy, are your lips chapped?"

Percy caught her sly grin and grinned back. "I think we could all learn a little from the Welsh dragons," he said with a slight shrug. "I, er, actually brought some food just in case. The Ministry canteen has decent sandwiches, but if you have your own food, I can save the other for later." He'd had time to think that through while he looked for her office.

His breath caught in his throat when he realized what she was looking at- questioning, even. He hoped she didn't mind chapped lips, because that's what the cold did to his and it he had suddenly gone far too long without kissing her. "Um," he responded, before closing the distance between them in a few strides and setting the sandwich bag on her desk. He then promptly pulled her to him with a hand on the small of her back and kissed her firmly.

Owl: To Hestia (around 5 PM) rar_percy June 18 2008, 03:23:57 UTC

Dear Hestia,

I had a lovely lunch. And, of course, I had trouble concentrating on much else besides how lovely said lunch was. Thank you for making me smile so much my boss was suspicious. It is a good thing I am such a diligent worker, or we might be in trouble.

Eagerly awaiting Friday,
Percy
