Percy Weasley x Reader: Workaholic

You could still remember the day that you and Percy had married. It had been the year after the war was over. He had seemed so noble and responsible.

He seemed like the type of family oriented man you'd always wanted.

~~~~~~~*Dramatic flashback*~~~~~~~~

"Y/n I swear I'll be loyal to you. I'll be yours and yours only. I'll even try a little-no a lot harder not to be so caught up with work. Anything if you'll marry me?" He begged.

"Percy," you laughed, "Aren't you forgetting the actual question?" 

"Oh ha, sorry. W-will you marry me Y/n?" 

"Yes!" You said he slipped the ring on your finger and kissed you tenderly.

~~~~~~~~~~

He hadn't fulfilled that promise. The first year he did well to try and make as much time for you as possible. The second year, Molly was born and Percy tried to be with the two of you more. But this year he'd barely be seen other than weekends or holidays. 

Today was your anniversary and he hadn't showed up. You were about to march to that work of his and slap him as hard as you could.Before...

*ding dong* your door bell rang.  "Hey, this is a delivery from Percy Weasley to a Y/n Weasley?" The blonde boy at your door said. He handed you a bouquet of beautiful flowers, your favorites in fact! "They come with the message that Percy Weasley is extremely sorry. And that he didn't forget your anniversary. But he got caught up at work." Then the boy left and you placed the flowers on the table, sitting at a chair and staring at them. 

"Mommy," you heard Molly ask from the stairway. 

"Yes my dear?"

"Why is Daddy never home?" She asked sadly. 

"Oh, Molly come here." You held your daughter in your arms, hearing her small sobs sent a tear down your cheek.  

"He's at work." You told her through your teeth.

"But we need him here." 

Just then Percy came through the door. "There's my beautiful girls. I got out of there as soon as I..." he paused, "could" 

"Daddy!" Molly said and ran out of your arms to hug her father.

He picked her up and threw her in the air only to catch her safely in his arms. 

He came over to kiss you but you got up and took hold of Molly's hand. 

"It's time for bed Molly." You told her, sweeping her into your arms.

"I'll do it honey." He offered. 

"I always do it anyways." You told him carrying her up the stairs.

You sung Molly a song before closing the door behind you and letting the tears fall. But you knew you had to do this. 

You walked back downstairs to see Percy with two mugs of hot chocolate. 

"Honey, are you alright?" He stepped forward to hug you but you didn't let him. 

"No." You whispered 

"What?" He asked worriedly.

You took a seat on the couch, "Sit down Percy." 

"What is it baby?" He asked you as more tears fell.

"I'm not alright Percy. I'm not alright at all. I can't live like this anymore. Alone, Molly barely even knows you. She asked me the other day if she had your eyes. She doesn't even know your eye color! You're always at work, you haven't kept your promise that you would try not to always be at work. I thought you would be with us. But you even missed our anniversary for your stupid work." You said, your voice cracking.

You put your head in your hands and sobbed. This time you didn't walk away when Percy reaches for you. He rubbed your back, "Honey I'm sorry I had no idea. I promise I'll stop. I'll come home at a reasonable time I'll stop going early." 

"Percy you always say that, but how do I know you won't keep your promise for a year then go back to working all the time the next." You looked up to see his red eyes tearing up.

"Is this the end Y/n?" He asked you quietly.

"I think it is Percy."

"Can I just ask you one thing?"

You nodded. 

"Do you still love me?" You were shocked, but you didn't answer, instead you got up and walked upstairs to pack your things. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mom?" Molly asked you. 

"Yes, Love?" 

"When are we going to see Daddy again?" 

"I don't know Molly." 

Just then your doorbell rang. For the last week, you and Molly had been living in an apartment while Percy had the house to himself.

"I'll get it!" Molly exclaimed and ran to the door. "Daddy!" She squealed happily wrapping her arms around the weary looking ginger.

You walked up behind her. "Molly go play in your room." You told her.

"Aw but" you cut her off.

"Now."  She slouched off to her room. 

You looked up into Percy's face, you could see his eyes were red and puffy, bags were surrounding them. It broke you, because you did still love Percy. Love didn't just disappear and you knew that. 

"Y/n, can I come in?" He asked in a whisper. 

You nodded and let him in, leading him to the small couch. 

"I'm sorry." He started. "I know this is all my fault. I didn't keep my promise and I'm so so sorry. I began shutting you out and I wasn't helping you raise our daughter. I miss you both so much and I love you both more than I have ever loved any one in my entire life. I'd do anything to have you both. I'd kill my brothers, destroy my work, kill myself for you!" Tears we're now streaming from his tortured eyes. "Please come back to me! I love you..." He began trailing off, "I love you so much..." 

"Percy- I- I'm" you sighed. "I don't even know what to say. "I miss you. I wish I could come back and forget all this. I wish we weren't so broken but..." Percy stared at you with shining eyes, "I can't be alone. I can't raise my girl alone. I never wanted to be a stay at home mom. And I don't expect you to be a stay at home dad. I want to get a job, and know my daughter is safe. I want her to know her father and I want to love my husband and have time to be with him." Your voice broke, "I want to be with you. Please don't leave me alone, don't let me fall alone and break alone." 

Percy took you into his arms and you let him. Molly came running into the room to hug you both. 

"Are we a family again?" She asked. 

Percy let go of you and looked into your eyes, "y/n, do you love me?" He asked.

"Yes, I do. I always have and always will. I'm sorry if don't answer you when you asked. I love you Percy and I know you love me." You looked down at Molly, "and I love you my beautiful daughter!"

"I love you too Mum. And you Dad!" She said and hugged you again

~~~~~~8 years later~~~~~~

"Mom what do you think I'll be?" Molly asked you as you waited on the platform for the train to Hogwarts. 

You pretended to think, but you already had an answer. "I think you're smart." 

"So Ravenclaw?"

"But you're also kind."

"Hufflepuff?"

"And clever and brave."

"So what am I then?" You're red-headed daughter asked you. Her curly locks falling in her face. 

"I think you could be anything." You told her, kissing her forehead. 

The train whistled and she hopped on, waving to her sister, Hope. 

Percy wrapped an arm around your shoulder and kissed your temple. "We did well Y/n." 

"Yes we did."
