Her fridge was as empty as her rib cage. Maybe it had never been filled at all - she couldn't be bothered to remember. Had there ever been a heart, ever been the frozen lasagna she had been looking for? Who knows.

She only remembers when he enters her crammed ocuncil flat, looking around in disgust that only deepened when meetin her dreary eyes of drying tar, sticky and yet still penetrating.

She remembered when he pulled the dangling cigarette from her lips, when he kissed her hard and shoved her harder, when she pulled his locks and tore his flesh.

She indeed had had a lasagna and she had had a heart. But much more important: Lucretia Travers had had a brother and Percy Weasley had had one too.

¬wrote that synopsis during latin lessons lol
¬okidoki, so we have another percy weasley plot bc i'm a fan, okay? and i want more percy weasely representation, also jake hold is perfect for percy in this one pic:

like a tidy, expensive swot right in the fields, feeling all posh and accomplished. tell me that's not percy when having a picknick. tell me
¬you obviously can't bc that's absolutely percy
¬however. lucretia - her nickname is lulu - is part of the travers family, therefore part of the sacred 28. her father is the death eater that's been in azkaban bc of taking part in killing the mckinnons, also he's the one that was under the imperio in the 7th book when the golden trio went to gringotts so yeah, pretty fanatic homie but still very composed
¬lulu's not composed at all, lemme tell u that
¬homegirl's been the perfect slytherin pure-blood daughter, everything, but she wasn't ever fully convinced of voldemort's opinions and after her strict, abusive upbringing and the war that's taken her whole family she's just extremely tired and beat and can't cope anymore. she's putting the wizarding world behind her and just wants to forget this whole craze and all the loss and pain, trying to live a muggle life but she's failing miserably, she can't care for herself properly but feels disgusted by magic so it's rather hard
¬lulu's been a death eater but more bc she had to be to keep her family safe and sound. she wasn't very active and didn't rlly get big missions or anything, unlike her father and her brother who were very convinced followers
¬though they were holding onto differing believes, lulu and her brother were pretty close. he was a few years older than her and ofc also a slytherin
¬lulu and percy were in the same year and academic rivals altough she could only best him in potions. she's certain that the reason for that is snape's favoritism but she actually is a magnificent brewer
¬due to her talents in potions, she started working as a potions master but with the war everything got messy and complicated and lulu dropped out of the wizarding world about three months ago, now she's jobbing as cleaner at a middle school what is ironic bc her flat isn't clean at all
¬percy's still at the ministry but his career is stagnating what he can't understand and fred is dead and he feels responsible for that and george misses an ear and oliver wood, who's been his best friend since hogwarts doesn't have much time anymore and he just can't bear it anymore, all around him just hostile faces, no matter if family or colleagues
¬at least lucretia isn't acting as if she'd like him, he finds some comfort in that
¬the two of them had had a very heated argument over arithmancy in 7th year that ended with lulu angrily snogging him and storming out of the classroom afterwards
¬afterwards they had acted as if that had never happened especially because of  the whole pure-blood blood-traitor conflict, after school they didn't rlly interact, then the war and the whole baggage. they met in a bar about a month before lulu dropped out, both of them were there to healthily drink themselves into oblivion to drown war-related thoughts bc they know coping and healing mhm, however smh they ended up next to each other and in the end in lulu's bed. afterwards they have slept a few more times with each other, always after meeting in the exact bar and at the exact same week day (nearly as if they'd hoped for the other one to also come to the bar from that point on, how mysterious) but it had nothing to do with love. lulu told him that she'll move and gave him her muggle adress
¬she's never seen his flat and when she finally does in the course of the story when their relationship grows it's a big moment, also bc you can characterize percy so well through his flat and also lulu in the way she perceives it and like i imagine it to be a very vulnerable moment for both of them
¬so, now percy has lulu's new adress and he is certain to never need it but then everything is too much again and look where he is! at lulu's place ofc and they take their mind off things together
¬afterwards they tend to speak abt what is bothering them and they usually r honest bc what else do they have to lose? after all they don't even like each other, lulu knows that percy won't talk to anybody abt her - she's death eater scum after all and percy knows that lulu won't speak to anybody abt him - she's not even part of the wizarding society anymore, so how should she be able to harm his reputation?
¬the story starts when they are already having their not-friends-with-benefits situation, so you'll have quite a bit to unravel
¬percy goes from travers to lucretia to lulu
¬lulu goes from weasley straight to perce but also calls him percy occasionally
¬she's very bold and snarky but still kind of raw in a vulnerable, lost way that she somewhat tries to conceal with anger
¬lulu's picked up a habit of smoking since living in the muggle world and percy sometimes asks for a drag until he smokes with her a few times
¬he values that he can tell her everything, he can bitch around quite a bit but she'll listen to him
¬they also have to work through the blood-purist conflict and abt percy: he certainly will also speak how he feels like his family doesn't appreciate him and that nearly everybody there is picking on him and stuff and despite lulu being raised very differently and not that loving at all she still understands his troubles and doesn't laugh at him or anything, she's a rather just person so her family history of being death eaters doesn't sit right with her just like her casual blood puritism back then in school
¬i imagine this to be written i a kind of prosaic way, a bit like glass shards. like it should hurt to read, you know?
¬ah, i haven't mentioned that they'll heal together but it's a painful and slow process but let them have a happy end
¬actually i wanna read that rlly badly so off u go, request pls?
