No Control | Percy Weasley

22

Audrey lay in her bed with her stomach churning and her heart beating faster than ever. She tossed and turned in her bed but sleep never came, how could it? When a death eater was very much alive in her other safe house, and could possibly escape despite not having his wand and despite all the charms her and Percy had placed on him and the house.

She took a deep breath and sat up, swinging her legs to the floor and walking out of her room. Iris' house was pretty dark, the only light shining in was the moon's. Audrey made sure Iris was still a sleep before apparating to Percy's place.

"We have to go to the safe house"

Percy looked at her with tired eyes, "couldn't sleep?"

"You could?" She asked and Percy shook his head.

Whispers and footsteps echoed through the small apartment as Audrey and Percy made their way into it. That house was still intact so there was no way anyone had tracked them down.

"Slip a few drops in his mouth" Audrey whispered to Percy who used a dropped and gently slipped two drops of veritaserum into the man's mouth while Audrey added some silencing and protective charms to the apartament.

"Ready?" Percy asked and Audrey nodded as they both pointed their wands at him. Percy flicked his wand and the man woke up with a sudden gasp and let out a few coughs.

They allowed him to come to his senses. He groaned, he complained, he screamed, he tried to free himself and then eventually gave up.

"Okay that's enough" Audrey said in her boldest voice, her stomach still churning inside of her.

"Who are you?" Percy stepped in front of Audrey and brought his wand to the man's neck.

The man looked up at Percy and let out a scoff, his lips slightly curving into a hint of a smile, sort of a smirk, "the man himself!" His voice hoarse and his eyes dark.

"Who are you?" He asked once again, more stern.

"Finn Allen" he said, "I work at the ministry"

"You work with the minister directly" Audrey knew his name but she had never seen him but she had heard of him. He wanted to be minister one day l, rather similar to what Percy's goals were.

"Did the minister ask you to this?" Percy asked.

"Well ofcourse, I have no desire to be you" he rolled his eyes abs Audrey let out an audible scoff.

He'd been after the job Percy was in for years, though he never really did anything mildly visible for it.

Finn gave Audrey a dirty look but Percy brought the attention back to himself, "did you go after my family?"

"I could care less about you, Weasley" he spat, "We couldn't let anyone see someone at such a high position disappear suddenly"

"How did you even transform into him?"

"I don't know-they just told me to drink the potion" he said, "I didn't really have much of a choice" His voice still strong and rather sharp but Audrey knew he felt a little helpless.

Percy and Audrey sat in Iris' large apartment right in front of her, her eyebrows knit together and she was about ready to explode.

"So you chose to wake up randomly and leave the house without me knowing?" She asked the hundredth time with a stern tone.

"I was worried and the curiosity was killing me!"

"And I was worried! What if something happened to you!" Iris turned her head to Percy, "to both of you"
