Love at the Ministry (Percy Weasley/ Kelina)

Chapter Six

"See you've decided to arrive on time. Shocking." Was unfortunately the first thing Kelina heard as she walked into work.

"Fuck off, Percy, I'm not dealing with your crap today." She replied, holding a coffee in one hand, and using her other hand to throw an obscene gesture at the boy.

"Ah, Mr. Weasley, Ms. Parker, how lovely to see the both of you again." Wilkie Twycross greeted as he entered the room. It wasn't a normal office, but looked more like an empty studio one would use to practice spells and such. Wilkie Twycross was almost transparent, and the rumor was that he got that way from apparating so often.

The first thing the two had to do was show him how well they could apparate, and how quickly they could do it.

"If the teachers can't do it, how can we expect the students to?" Twycross said. Percy was up first, and he had to apparate to the other side of the room, which he did exceptionally, not to anyone's surprise. Kelina followed in suit, almost mirroring his actions.

"Excellent, excellent!" Twycross then had them work together, which proved harder than he thought. "Now, Ms. Parker, Mr. Weasley is going to make a hoop with his arms, and you are going to apparate into them."

"I'm not touching him." Kelina said, glaring at Percy across the room.

"You think I want you to?" He snapped back.

"No, no no! For this to be effective, the two of you have to trust each other!" The older man exclaimed. "Okay, this has happened before, I know how to fix this."

Twycross had the two of them stand in a line, Kelina in front of Percy.

"Now, you are going to fall back with your eyes closed, and Mr. Weasley is going to catch you." Her eyes widened in fear.

"No offense, sir, but I don't trust him to catch me. I would rather not get a concussion today-"

"Come on Parker, I'm not going to drop you, let's just get this over with." He whispered to her, and for some reason, his hot breath down her neck made her feel something towards him she'd never felt. She shut up, and put her arms in front of her chest.

"Very good Miss Parker, now just lean back, and close your eyes."

Kelina did so, and for some reason, feeling the man's arms wrap around her was more comforting than ever. Something in her wanted to stay in those arms all day. 'STOP IT!' She told herself, 'you hate him; don't forget what he did to you seventh-' No. No matter what, she would never let herself think of what Percy Weasley did to her in their seventh year.

The rest of the day went pretty smoothly from there, the three of them working more on teamwork exercises, until the very end. Kelina and Percy felt sick, like they could throw up at any moment.

"One more, Ms. Parker, all you need to do is go to Mr. Weasley." He had instructed. No matter how sick Kelina felt, she just kept thinking about going home and crawling into bed.

But, Kelina took a deep breath, and apparated once more. It must have been her mind not being as clear as it was before, but instead of apparating next to Percy, she apparated on top of him.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry-"

"It's okay, truly." Percy helped her up.

"I didn't mean to-'' instead of getting to finish her sentence, Kelina threw up all of Percy Weasley's shoes. Fuck.
