With nearly everyone gone, Percy took a seat opposite Harry at the table. He didn't realize how small the table was until everyone left, and then questioned how it even fit the wizards in the first place.
The Weasleys plus Harry and Hermione were all seated at the table. Harry in the middle (shocking), the red-haired boy on his left, and Hermione on his right. A chair or so down from the boy, sat Molly, and three other kids. A pair of twin boys, and a girl who looked a year or two younger than the boy next to Harry.
They all stared at Percy. He was busy swirling the tea around in his cup, in his attempt to avoid actually drinking it. He hated tea.
Noticing the eyes up on him, Percy looked up and remembered that they were supposed to have a conversation. He also realized that he was getting comfortable and that was not okay. Percy settled into his distant, interrogation voice.
"So, what's there to discuss?" It was at that point Harry's mouth parted a bit, but Percy cut him off. "Like," Percy continued, "Dumbledore gave me a mediocre run down of what's happening and stuff. I go to a wizard school, learn spells or whatever, defeat the bad guy, then go home. Is that all, or did Mr. Headmaster forget something?"
If Harry's eyes could go any wider, they'd fall out of his head. His face then formed a scowl and Harry coldly responded, "His name is Albus Dumbledore and he is the bravest man I know."
Percy looked back at Harry; disbelief evident in his face. Percy waved his hand, disregarding Harry's statement. "Yeah, sure whatever." Harry scowled more. "Point is, is there anything I should be prepared for? I'm not a fan of surprises."
Thankfully, before Harry could interrupt again, Hermione responded. "Well, yes. There is the issue that you know nothing about the history of Hogwarts and wizardry; and not to mention, you don't have any school supplies– not even a wand! You'll also need to know the spells and potions– education basically– of a seventh year (students in their seventh year at Hogwarts) and you're older than seventeen...?" Percy nodded. "Good. Well, that settles it."
"Um, 'Mione, what exactly's been settled?" The red-haired boy asked. Percy hummed in agreement.
"You, me, and Harry are going to take Percy to Diagon Alley to get his supplies for Hogwarts." Percy wished someone would introduce the boy. He had no idea who he was.
"No. There is no way that I'm going anywhere with him."
"Come on, Harry, don't be so dense. At the very least he needs a wand." Hermione said.
"What's Diagon Alley?" Percy questioned.
"See! He knows nothing! Don't worry, Percy. You'll be caught up on everything before school starts. I'll tutor you so you have the proper knowledge of a seventh year." Percy didn't have the heart to tell her that he was just going to use her abilities and cheat his way through the school year. Then again, even if he did have the heart, he wouldn't have been able to tell Hermione anyways.
The unnamed boy looked towards Percy. "'Mione is the smartest witch in school, probably the whole world." So he could say that, but not his name? Percy was getting tired of referring to him as 'the boy'.
Percy attempted a smile. "Okay, thanks. Sounds like a plan."
"Great, then it's settled. Tomorrow we'll go to Diagon Alley."
Before Hermione (or anyone) could say more, Mrs. Weasley asked Harry and the unnamed boy to show Percy where he was supposed to be sleeping for the next week or so until they went to Hogwarts. This request received lots of protest from Harry.
"Ron," Mrs. Weasley said, looking pointedly at the unnamed boy until he told Percy to follow him. Percy was right in his assumption that the boy was Mrs. Weasley's son, he was also very thankful to know that kid's name.
