Forbidden love|| Percy Weasley

Chapter 44

Christmas break came really fast, and before I knew it I was sitting again in my living room with a book in my hands and my mother sitting opposite of me next to my brother. He was filling her in on everything that had happened at school these past few months, and my mother was listening to his stories with a smile on her face. After an hour of talking, he excused himself to his room and I got the opportunity to talk to my mother about my relationship. I had received a letter from Percy that he was going to do the same today, and I thought it was now or never. I closed my book and placed it on my lap before turning to my mother, who was looking through the pile of books next to her to pick what to read next

Y/n: Mom?

I asked while watching her take in her hands a book that I gifted her for her birthday the previous month called "Jane Eyre". She looked at me with a confused look before she placed her book on her lap

Narcissa: What is it?

She asked, refilling her cup of tea with a movement of her wand and then taking a sip of it. I sighed, looking nervously at my feet

Y/n: I am kind of dating someone

I said turning to look at her and her eyes lightened up before a smile appeared on her face

Narcissa: Well, that is wonderful, dear! Who is it?

She asked, resting her cup of tea on the table in front of her, waiting curiously for my answer

Y/n: Percy Weasley, we have been dating for almost a year now

I said as fast as I could and for a moment I thought she didn't hear me until her smile became even wider. I looked at the floor waiting for her answer anxiously 

Narcissa: Well, it looks like my instinct last July wasn't so wrong after all

She said, standing up and taking a seat on the sofa next to me

Narcissa: Why didn't you tell me sooner?

She asked, resting her hand gently on my shoulder, making me take my eyes from the ground and look at her

Y/n: Because I was scared that you and father were going to make me break up with him, and I didn't want to. Percy believed that his parents would do the same, so we decided to keep it a secret from everyone, but we just couldn't continue hiding it anymore and this is why we made it public in the winter ball

I said with a smile and she nodded understandingly

Y/n: Please, I don't want Dad to find out about it yet!

I said, and she nodded once again before she hugged me tight. She stroked my hair comfortingly like she used to do when I was a little kid s and kissed my head lovingly

Narcissa: Your secret is safe with me

She whispered to me and no one of us pulled away from the hug but enjoyed the moment. The silence was interrupted by an owl entering the room and flying towards my shoulder, leaving a package and a letter in my hands. I pulled away from the hug and stroked Hermes's feather before he flew out of the room.

Y/n: It is from Percy

I said, opening the package, and inside it was a green handmade sweater with my initial on it in the yellow colour. The same colours that Percy wore last Christmas, with the only difference being that it had my initial on it. A note fell from it and I noticed an unfamiliar handwriting

Thank you for making my boy happy

- Molly Weasley

A smile formed on my face when I read the note, which meant that Percy's talk with his parents went well. I left the sweater on my lap before I took Percy's letter and read it carefully

Y/n: Looks like we are invited to the Weasleys for Christmas Eve

*PERCY'S POV*

I was trying for days to learn how to knit, so I would be able to make Y/n the ideal Christmas gift for her. She always told me how much she loved and appreciated handmade gifts, so I decided to make her something special this year but with no luck. So I picked up the courage to go and ask my mother to teach me. She was sitting on the sofas knitting our Christmas sweaters and dad opposite of her was reading the Daily Prophet. I sat next to her before she gave me a loving smile, but she also looked surprised that I walked out of my room before dinner was ready

Percy: Hey Mom, I was wondering if you could teach me how to knit. So I would make a present for my friend

I said, and she looked up at me with a surprised expression before a smile found its place on her face

Molly: Well I could make something for you friend, and you say it is for you

She said and I nodded negatively

Percy: No, I would like to make it for her

I said, and a smile appeared on my dad's face before he put the newspaper on his lap

Arthur: So she is a girl

He said, and I nodded, looking nervously at my feet

Percy: Well, yeah, and she also is my girlfriend. She always says that handmade gifts are better, so this is what I am trying to do 

I said nervously not looking at them and my mom next to me giggled before she pulled me into a hug

Molly: Well, that is amazing news, I am sure that Y/n will love whatever you give her

She said, and I looked at her surprised before Dad agreed with her. How did they know?

Percy: How did you know I was talking about Y/n?

I asked surprised, and my mom looked at me with are-you-serious-look

Molly: A mother can sense these things Perce

She said with a smile but my dad laughed

Arthur: After what the twins said in August, your mother was not convinced and went to ask Ginny about it! Of course, she told her everything

He said before my mother gave him a glare and hugged me again

Percy: So you are not mad?

I asked, a little bit confused because of how calm they were with the fact that I was dating the daughter of my father's worst nemesis 

Arthur: No, of course not. Just because she shares a surname with her father doesn't mean she has to be like him

He said with a smile before my mom agreed with him 

Molly: Yeah, Y/n is a really sweet girl, like her mother and aunt were at school. Andromeda and Narcissa were always the ones that made a difference in the Slytherin house, just like Y/n does 

She said with a smile before she pulled out a green sweater with her initial on it. It had the exact same colours as mine with the only difference being the huge letter on it

Molly: I made one for her when Ginny told me, but I think she will love more whatever you give her 

She said, handing me her knitting essentials and explaining to me everything I needed to do
