A.N. A little one-shot about Percy's views during the time he's not talking to his family. The dates are according to the time of his row with his father.

Why, why did I have to quarrel with Father about work? It's obvious that he, like the rest of my imbecile family, doesn't understand the importance of regulating the thickness of cauldron bottoms. It's also quite plain that Dumbledore has planted some idea in his head that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back, which is absolutely rubbish.

Well, it turns out that one of my brothers is not a moron. Ronald has become prefect! I must write to him. I have heard from one of good friends Dolores Umbridge, who is currently teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, that he is still hanging around Potter. I must warn Ronald of the dangers of being around a psychotic individual such as Potter.

I can't believe it! Potter-I mean Harry- was actually telling the truth! I've been a git. I should go apologize to my famiy. No-wait-I can't. Not with all the dark rumors going around. It would affect my future if I returned to my family of blood traitors. No, it's best if I leave it be for now.

Audrey Black is simply amazing. Who is she? She is my current girlfriend. She is a pureblood distantly related Sirius Black's famiy. However, she doesn't share the Black's discriminated views. She has been telling me that I should go apologize to my family. But I can't. The Ministry is infiltrated with Death Eaters and all my loved ones will be murdered.

My chance has come. The battle at Hogwarts is about to start. Now is my chance to prove to my family that I am sorry for what I've done. I should get going now!

May 3rd

My family forgived me, but the one that welcome me back with open arms is no more. Fred...is gone. It's all my fault. Dolohov killed him, but I avenged Fred. I promise with all my heart that I will never leave my family again.
