Right, okay then.

Percy rolled his eyes. “As if you could’ve picked on me more.” He said, shaking his head. He then smiled. “You know…I’m sure she’d be happy to teach you some of her recipes.” He told her. “She likes you.” Molly wouldn’t teach just anyone, but she liked Alexandra.
“Oh, I’m sure I could have. But I guess we’ll never know. Unless of course, you want me to make up for it now.” She chuckled, taking a sip of her beer. “Really? You’re sure about that? Most people guard their recipes with their life. But it’d be nice, definitely.” She smiled. “Well that’s a good thing. I like her too.” She kinda hoped Molly liked her. Dinner was fun that one night. And she was kinda hoping she could come back for another one. It was nice being able to sit down with almost everyone.
Percy shook his head. “No thank you.” He said, laughing. “I’m positive. Mum really likes you. She’d probably adopt you if she could.” He told her. “I know she and Dad want you to come over again.” He looked at her. “How is work going for you?” He wanted to know if she’d been able to successfully avoid Jameson, but he didn’t really want to bring him up.
“Yeah, well, if Dad had his way I probably would’ve been named Harland after that Colonel Sanders guy.” He said, frowning. “I prefer Percy.” He actually liked his name quite a bit. “If it makes you feel any better, I don’t think anyone is. I think my mum is the best…

“Oh, he’s obsessed. There’s no other way to put it.” Percy told her, laughing. “I’m pretty sure Bill was named after William Shakespeare. Charlie was named after the main character in the novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I got lucky. Mum put her foot down…
“Yeah, well, if Dad had his way I probably would’ve been named Harland after that Colonel Sanders guy.” He said, frowning. “I prefer Percy.” He actually liked his name quite a bit. “If it makes you feel any better, I don’t think anyone is. I think my mum is the best cook in the whole world. She’s had a lot of practice.” He pointed out. Of course, with seven children, that was to be expected.
“Well, he tried, but stopped after Ron was born. Apparently, Ron wasn’t supposed to be named Ronald. Dad took the birth certificate while Mum was sleeping and put Ronald on it, after Ronald McDonald, the founder of some muggle food chain.” He said. “Mum was furious….
“Oh, he’s obsessed. There’s no other way to put it.” Percy told her, laughing. “I’m pretty sure Bill was named after William Shakespeare. Charlie was named after the main character in the novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I got lucky. Mum put her foot down and refused to let Dad name me. She chose my name.” He said. “Fred and George were named by her as well. She wanted something similar to Fabian and Gideon after her twin brothers. Ron was my father’s pick, and Ginevra was Mum’s idea.” He explained. He smiled. “Yeah, it is wonderful. Oh, she always does that. You’ll never leave one of her dinners empty handed.”
“I suppose I could try that.” He said, nodding. Percy was hoping he wouldn’t have bad luck. He decided to take her suggestion. “Well, looks like a cheeseburger, with chips it is. And I suppose I’ll have a…Coca-cola? Whatever that is. I’ve heard the twins mention…
“Well, he tried, but stopped after Ron was born. Apparently, Ron wasn’t supposed to be named Ronald. Dad took the birth certificate while Mum was sleeping and put Ronald on it, after Ronald McDonald, the founder of some muggle food chain.” He said. “Mum was furious. After that, Dad said he couldn’t take us to anymore muggle restaurants for awhile. Not until she calmed down. Besides, her food was always better anyway.” He pointed out. When the waitress came, he ordered his food.
Percy nodded, thoughtfully. “Doesn’t sound bad.” He said. “There are so many choices. I have no idea how to decide.” He said, as he frowned at the menu. How could he narrow it down when there were so many delicious things to choose from on the menu?
She laughed…

I’ve heard the twins mention it.” He said. “I’m surprised I’m not more familiar with muggle restaurants, but I suppose that would be my father’s expertise.”
Uhh…that’s nice?
