[HP] Liar

Ep.65

After finally calming down her sister's emotions, Penello arrived at the Knight's Bus Station as quickly as possible, and then apparated directly to the Burrow.

This is also the first time that Penello has come to the Burrow as a guest of Percy's girlfriend.

"Are you Penelope?" Penelope had just arrived at the gate of the Burrow when a beautiful girl with fiery red hair greeted her with a smile, "I am Percy's youngest sister— — Ginny Weasley. Come in, Mom and Dad have been waiting for a while."

After hearing this, Penello had to smile at Ginny apologetically, and then followed Ginny into the gate of the Burrow without saying a word.

In Penello's memory, Ginny Weasley has always been a petite and shy girl; she looked so ordinary and dull at the time, and she is completely different from the cheerful and confident look now people.Penello was really curious about what had happened to this little girl over the years.

Ginny led Penello all the way to the dining room of the Burrow, and most of the people in the Burrow were already sitting around the dining table. "Oh, our Penelope is finally here." As soon as he saw Penelope, Percy's father, Arthur Weasley, immediately stood up from his seat, and then opened his eyes to her generously. Raised his arms, "The kids can't wait any longer."

Penello kissed Arthur on the cheek politely: "I'm sorry, Arthur. My sister suddenly had a little problem tonight."

"Viola?" At this moment, a red-haired boy suddenly raised his head and looked at Penello, who guessed that he was one of Harry Potter's friends, Ron Weasley, " Is she okay?"

Penelope knew that there were seven children in the Weasley family, and that the youngest, Ginny Weasley, happened to be the only girl.In fact, although the Weasley family is indeed one of the heroes of the war, they are also the victims of this war-Percy's brother Fred Weasley and many others who died in the decisive battle. People, too, unfortunately died at the hands of the Death Eaters.

Fred's death obviously brought indelible trauma to this originally happy family, so much so that today, long after the end of the war, the Weasley family is still immersed in a desperate depression.

Penelope sat down beside Percy at Arthur's invitation, and the rest of the Weasley family had agreed to an eerie silence.Unexpectedly, at this moment, Mrs. Weasley and another strange black-haired girl suddenly walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot thick soup.When the eyes of both parties fell on Penello together, Penello could clearly feel the embarrassment on their faces.

"...Are you here?" Mrs. Weasley asked in a low voice, without a hint of a smile on her lips.

Penello nodded at them: "Hello."

Another strange black-haired girl boldly stretched out her hand to Penello, and said to her: "You are Penello, right? For a long time, I have often heard Percy mention about you." Well, I finally saw the real person today."

Somehow, this strange girl inexplicably made Penello feel a little disgusted, but she still kept a smile on the corner of her mouth and didn't let her dissatisfaction show.

"Excuse me?"

"My cousin, Audrey Prewett." Percy pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and coughed a few times, "My mother saw that she didn't have much to do during the holidays, so she invited her to come and talk to her. We have dinner."

Penello gave a faint "oh" after hearing this, and didn't ask any more questions this time.

After everyone sat down, the people at the dinner table fell into a strange silence again.Except for Audrey and Ginny, who are perverse and eccentric, who would joke and tease from time to time, almost everyone else kept sending food into their mouths without saying a word. It seemed that no one was really willing to cooperate with them The topic brought up by the two.

"Speaking of which," unexpectedly, when everyone remained silent, Audrey cast her eyes on Penello, "Clivatt and Percy should have been dating for several years, right?"

"Oh, yes. If I remember correctly, this year is probably the sixth year."

"Six years, that's really a long time!" Audrey exclaimed, "Then, you two must be planning to get married, aren't you?"

Penello froze for a moment, and replied: "It's not clear. Let it be."

"I heard that when you and Percy were studying at Hogwarts, both of you were the presidents of the student union?"

"Yes."

"Molly and Arthur were also the presidents of the male and female student unions at the time." Audrey said with a smile, "Many people say that every male and female student union president at Hogwarts will eventually get married."

At this point Ron finally interjected: "Looks like Harry's parents too."

However, when Percy's parents, especially his mother Molly Weasley, listened to what they said, the displeasure on their faces became more obvious.

"Let's eat." She pointed to the minced chicken and mushroom soup in front of her eyes, "Not all male and female student council chairmen will get married in the end."

Molly's words made Penello feel a little offended, but in order to maintain her demeanor, she still didn't say anything.However, Penelope's choice made Audrey intensify.

"Do you like children, Miss Clearwater?" she asked.

Audrey's question immediately pricked Penello's heart, she lowered her voice and replied, "I like it very much."

"That's great!" Audrey answered heartlessly, "Percy has a big family. After the two of you get married, even if you can't have your own children, Percy's brothers and sisters You can also give birth to many cute and well-behaved children...so that the two of you will not feel lonely—”

Unexpectedly, before Audrey finished speaking, Penello put down the tableware in his hand with a bang unbearably.

She glanced at Audrey with astonishment and disbelief, and then at Mrs. Weasley, the question in her heart seemed to be answered at once.

"...Maybe I shouldn't have come tonight." She said coldly. "If there is anything I don't do well enough or you don't like, you can tell me directly, Mrs. Weasley. But I also have my own My own dignity. Therefore, I absolutely cannot bear anyone humiliating me in this way."

"Personality humiliation?" Seeing this, Percy wanted to stop her from continuing. "What are you talking about, Penello? Are you being too sensitive?"

But Penello just tilted Percy in disappointment, and didn't listen to Percy's words of persuasion.

"I think it's time for me to leave too." She got up decisively, and Mrs. Weasley obviously had no intention of keeping her, "Thank you for your hospitality, ma'am. But it's time for us to say goodbye."

……

As early as when Penelope and Percy established a relationship, Mrs. Weasley didn't like Percy's little girlfriend very much.In her opinion, Penello, who was born in Ravenclaw College, is too arrogant and stubborn, and in many cases, he will be a little boring or puzzled.But now, Penello thought to himself, he who has lost his fertility may become a thorn in the eyes of the other party.

She never liked to speculate on others with the utmost malice, but everything that happened tonight was just too coincidental—first Mrs. Weasley's indifference, and then Cousin Percy's sarcasm.Thinking of this, Penelope couldn't help slandering herself. When she received the invitation from Percy's family, she even naively thought that after the war, Mrs. Weasley was finally willing to accept herself with "magnanimity" Woolen cloth.

Penello walked all the way to the gate of the Burrow, and Percy finally caught up panting.

"What the hell are you doing, Penello?" he asked her from behind her. "Why are you embarrassing my family?"

"Embarrassed?" She yelled at him almost hoarsely, "It's obvious that your mother and cousin are embarrassing me!"

Percy blinked in bewilderment, and it took him a while to react.

"You think too much, Penello." He whispered, obviously lacking in confidence, "You are really too sensitive. My mother doesn't have that kind of malice."

"Stop talking nonsense, Percy. You're not a fool, and neither am I."

"Well, I admit, their words and actions tonight are indeed a bit inappropriate. But you have to be considerate of her... She lost Fred not long ago, and now she will inevitably be a little-"

"Does she have the right to take revenge on me just because she lost her own child?" Penello couldn't help asking sharply, "Then what did I do wrong? I am also a victim of this war, Percy , me and my sister are both! You and Fred are parents' darlings, but my sister and I are my parents' darlings as well... Your mother can't stand you being wronged a little bit, and you can't bear a marriage Only a hen that can’t lay eggs is a wife; what about me? As a victim, don’t I have the right to feel wronged or angry?”

"Don't say that about yourself. Why do you put yourself down like that?"

"Because that's what your mother thinks in her heart!" she spat sharply. "Admit it, you already knew about it, didn't you? You already knew that your mother liked your cheerful, caring, sweet-hearted, sweet-hearted woman more." Cousin Audrey Prewett, who can have children with you, right?"

This time, Percy Weasley was completely speechless.

"Very good." The last hope in my heart was also crushed by Percy's weakness. Penello reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around without hesitation, and said lightly, "Then goodbye Come on, Percy Weasley."

With that said, she quickly Apparated away.
