But that was just an internship! It was temporary! Oh Bill, don't you understand? This is a permanent job, a permanent foothold that horrible man will get into our family! Oozing his way into Percy's trust, being held up as a mentor, as an example! He'll smile, and he'll act all suave, and he'll simply dazzle the boy, until Percy will think--oh, I simply can't bear it.
Molly, do try to calm yourself. We've raised Percy for years, and we know at heart he's a good boy. And he'll be a good man. It's too soon to simply prophesy disaster.
Perhaps...perhaps this will eventually serve to open his eyes as to what sort of man Malfoy really is.
And on top of everything, I just received an atrocious bill by owl! It seems that 'free' makeover spa day that Ginny won wasn't so free when you include the add-ons.
They charged her for a pedicure and manicure, and oh, Arthur, it's as much as we spend on food for the entire family for a week!

Date: 2011-07-07 06:56 pm (UTC)Well, I certainly can think of a few things! And if Percy were here, his ears would be smoking by now!

Date: 2011-07-07 07:06 pm (UTC)I think I remember hearing a wisp of a rumour that Malfoy wasn't very happy with the man, though.

But we'll handle it, Molly.
We always do.
