[The feed opens quite abruptly on a young man looking into the device with a combination of consternation and confusion. A finger appears and taps on the screen, then the view promptly swings around to a pair of perfectly polished dress shoes. The view shakes for a moment before coming back to Percy's face, brow still furrowed.]

Oh, I think it's one of those communication devices - felly - no - telly - telephones? Is it on?

[He speaks loudly now.]

Hello?! Can anyone hear me?

[Beat. He looks worried, biting his lip, then squares his jaw, thinks for a moment, and continues. His tone is firm and authoritative, though those who know him well might be able to spot a very fine thread of fear running through it.]

If anyone can hear me, then I demand safe passage back to England immediately. I am employed by the British government and I guarantee that the Minister will not be pleased to find I have been taken.

I await your response.

Now how do I turn this off?

[Fred's not blind, and he's not stupid. He can see Percy is struggling, hurt and possibly even scared, and that's fine. That's expected, because they all are. But Percy is Percy, business as usual, and he's reciting the three basic laws of magic as though Fred's five years old again, despite the fact he's lived through a war, died for that war, and damn sure deserves to be treated like a fucking adult, even if his own brother doesn't believe he's real.

Which leaves us with one hurt, rejected and severely hacked off Fred Weasley. Fun for the whole family.

Anger deep set in an unwavering glare, Fred doesn't so much as breath for longer than anyone interested in having oxygen in their lungs should be capable of. Luckily, he's not one of those people. Not anymore.]


Reckon it'll be a comfort to you then, that I haven't been resurrected. Just as dead as the last time you saw me, so. Cheers to that.

[He smacks the device away and it cracks against a wall, a faint 'Unbelievable--' audible behind the electronic feedback before the device cuts off.]
