Friday came faster than I expected, my main issue was no longer 'finish my classes and graduate' as I'd already graduated at this point.

At the moment my main problem was: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WEAR ON A DATE WITH PERCY FUCKING WEASLEY?!?!?

Thankfully Dumbledore had agreed to let my dad finish out the school year as DADA Professor, and he'd be returning to London with us on the train.

I walked down to his office, standing in the doorway and watching him pack for a few seconds before I made my presence known.

I'd already packed everything I didn't need within the next 24 hours, aside from 3 outfit possibilities I'd picked out to show my dad. I wanted his opinion, I don't know much about men and I really wanted this date to go well.

"Dad I need your help"

"That sounds terrifying given who your actual father is, but continue."

When I didn't respond he looked up at me expectantly only to be met with a dirty look.

"I'm sorry hun, he's not as bad as you think. He didn't do what he was accused of, we've been over this."

"He still abandoned me to go off and seek some sort of revenge, 1981 Father of the Year Award goes to Sirius Black."

"Enough, what do you want my help with?" He turned his attention back to packing his things

"I need help picking out an outfit, I want to look nice tonight."

"You'll look fine no matter what you wear"

"Thanks I guess but I'm going on a date, I'd prefer to look better than 'Fine'. That's why I'm asking for your opinion."

"A date?" He asked, looking back up at me with his eyebrows raised

"Yes.... I asked someone on a date and he said yes, I need help picking out an outfit."

"And who is this date with?" He'd completely forgotten about packing altogether

"A classmate, now what should I wear?"

"Clothes"

"Funny.... What kind of clothes?"

"Depends on who it is, that's why I asked"

"No, you asked because you want to scare him."

"That too, now who is it?"

I was hesitant to tell him, he still didn't like Percy after the whole thing with him figuring out that Sirius is my biological father.

I'd forgiven Percy almost immediately, maybe that's the Hufflepuff in me, but my dad can hold grudges.

"Percy" I whispered under my breath
