A/N to my Indonesian wattpad readers, I post my original story @suhaa_alhasnah it's all in Indonesian. Please read and follow me.

Percy was waiting for the water to boil in the kitchen in Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. A lot of things had been in their mind, stressed they were. They took out a cup and opened an empty metal tea ball, putting some vanilla bean-infused black tea leaves in the ball before they put it in the cup, its chain hanging on the side of the cup. Percy placed a teaspoon of sugar in the cup, pulling down the chair from their walker nearby to sit on whilst waiting for the water to boil.

"You got some coffee?" Percy turned their head to see Sirius, looking at the cupboard for coffee, just to find jars of tea. Sirius cursed, no coffee in the house. Well, black tea is pretty strong. "Make that two, would you?"

"Yeah-" Percy stands from their seat, walking to turn off the stove before opening the top of the kettle, filling it with more water and turning the heat back on.

"You know, you could always use magic-" Sirius chuckled. Even he knew the young nonbinary had much magic in them, powerful and bright. They can definitely do it.

"I know, but I can still do this myself, and I want to do what I still can do-" Percy said. Sirius bit his lips.

"I see-" Sirius nodded, waiting as Percy prepared another cup, getting the metal ball ready and filling it with some vanilla bean-infused black tea leaves, a teaspoon of sugar also. Percy hears the kettle making a noise, and turns off the flame, taking the mitten and with shaky hands, they slowly lift the kettle.

"Let me help," Sirius volunteered, running to the kettle, taking it away from Percy's shaky hands with his sturdier ones. Percy smiled shyly as they backed away, letting Sirius do his job in filling both cups.

"Thanks," Percy smiled, staring at their tea whilst mixing it. Sirius takes a chair and sits near Percy.

"Ron mentioned that you cared for Scabbers for six years before handing him to your brother-" Sirius mentioned. Percy nodded- sadly, Sirius might add. How can they not be? "How close were you?"

"We were best friends-" Percy nodded. "He was my first friend, my best friend. I found him in our backyard and I cared for him so much. He was always there for me- every time."

"Sounds like the Peter I knew-" Sirius nodded, drinking his tea. "He was always there for every one of us. James, Remus, me. Whenever there's a bad full moon and Remus can't do his homework, Peter would do his homework for him, being the one with the best plagiarising handwriting ability. The professors never even realised that it was Peter who did Remus' homeworks and not Remus himself. Same with me and James. He always got our backs, we never thought that he'd ever betray us."

"Yeah-" Percy nodded, drinking his tea through the plastic straw they prepared earlier.

"How did you find him, anyway?"
