Knowledge on werewolf part 92

"Where on Earth would I go swimming?" asked Percy incredulously but quietly to Emma.

Inviting Percy and the Clearwaters to Ron's/Demelza's/Luna's birthday swimming party was Emma's responsibility, one in which she had to go about very carefully. She had specifically chosen to corner Percy in the Library, while Ginny and Colin watched on in horror from a distance. Generally snappish at anyone who interrupted him or even distracted him, many students had taken to avoiding him when he was very obviously studying so he had a relatively secluded corner of the Library to himself. Only Emma had the courage to approach him, though since he had a soft spot her she was not in as much danger as testing his wrath.

"We have a place where we can hold a secluded swimming party." Said Emma. "Since Ron's one of your brothers we thought you'd like to come, but you need a swimsuit."

"Where on Earth did you find somewhere you can actually swim at Hogwarts." Said Percy suspiciously.

"It's a secret." Said Emma. "You have to promise not to tell anyone."

Percy's eyes narrowed. "Do the teachers know about this… place…"

"Madam Pomfrey does." Said Emma evasively.

"Emma I think the teachers need informed of such a location." Said Percy pompously.

"Please?" pleaded Emma in a very girly manner. "We're having so much fun with just us using the room. If the teachers find out, either all our fun will be gone or we're going to have an overcrowded room that's shared with everyone else. Please promise you won't tell anyone?"

Percy was on the fence after Emma had finished speaking her plea. But at the end, when she asked him not to promise not to tell anyone, she fluttered her eyelashes and looked him dead in the eye. She may not have her mother's eyes, but she still used her own to great effect. The Head-Boy didn't stand a chance.

"I… alright then." Said Percy. "I suppose Penny and I haven't been swimming together since…"

He suddenly blushed.

"Cool." Said Emma. "You tell Penny and I'll tell Ruth."

She gave Percy a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you for everything Percy."

She then walked off to re-join Ginny and Colin, both of whom were looking at her with a mixture of disbelief and awe.

"Not that I'm complaining, but what the heck have you done to my brother?" said Ginny incredulously.

"I've no idea what you're talking about." Said Emma.

"He'd snap his head off at if I tried talking to him at that moment." Said Colin, reflecting on previous instances.

"Guess I'm not as irritating as you Colin." Said Emma smirking.

"Hey!" protested Colin.

"Just make sure you get him something nice for me." Said Harry as he handed Hermione a small bag full of Galleons. "Luna and Demelza too." The two of them were in the Common Room waiting for the others to wake up for breakfast.

"Noted." Said Hermione. "I really wish you could come to."

"Well despite my doubts I have to assume Black is after me." Said Harry. "Besides, you know that tomorrow the teachers are inevitably going to be worrying about where we all are. No need to let them worry today as well, I did promise I'd stop going to Hogsmeade until the Black situation is rectified."
