Harry was just trying to eat his breakfast quickly so that he could get his unfinished homework that wasn't done because of his detentions done before class. The Great Hall was empty because he got up early, when suddenly the doors opened and in came Percy Weasly, as haughty as ever. Percy just walked up to the High Table and ignored Harry as if he was nothing but air. Harry's temper rose and his blood boiled. How could this self-righteous being get suck a kind family and throw it all away for something as stupid as the Ministry? He would give anything just to have his family back for one hour. He decided to confront Percy about it.
"I don't understand you." he said very loud and clear, making sure Percy could hear him. Percy suddenly stopped, shocked that the "insane" Harry Potter was speaking to him.
"What?"
"I said, I don't understand you."
"What don't you understand? What are you trying to understand?" Percy asked, trying to find a way to discredit him even more.
"I don't understand how you could give up being a part of such an amazing family like the Weasleys." Percy scoffed.
"They are not an amazing family. They did not support me when I was given what I've always wanted, to have an important job in the Ministry."
"They supported you all right, until you abandoned them for the Ministry. Until you gave into the Minister's fear that Voldemort will come back."
"Voldemort is dead, and everyone knows that you are an insane fool." Percy said angrily.
"I know that is what you think now, but did you think that when I was spending time with your family during the past couple of summers? That is not the point right now though; I want to know why you abandoned your family."
"They do not matter, they can be replaced." Percy brushed off Harry's question with a scoff. This made Harry's temper increase even more though, and soon he started yelling, and he yelled so loud that everyone in Hogwarts could hear him loud and clear.
"HOW DARE YOU! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE GIVING UP! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LUCKY YOU ARE TO HAVE A FAMLIY THAT LOVES AND SUPPORTS YOU, WHO ACCEPTS YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE NO MATTER WHAT? I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE THAT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT MY SO CALLED "FAMILY" IS LIKE? FOR 10 YEARS THEY SHOVED ME IN A CUPBOARD BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT I WAS A FREAK, BECAUSE IM A WIZARD AND BECAUSE IM NOT NORMAL! THEY GAVE ME DUDLEYS OLD CLOTHES BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T WANT TO SUPORT A "FREAK" LIKE ME, BUT THE TINY BIT OF KINDESS THEY HAVE IN THEIR HEARTS LET ME STAY THERE AND BE THEIR SERVANT. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT IS LIKE? NO, BECAUSE EYOU HAVE A LOVING FAMILY! I WOULD GIVE ANYHTING TO HAVE A LOVING FAMILY LIKE YOU DO, BUT SO YOU APPRECIATE IT? NO! YOU THROW IT AWAY LIKE YESTERDAYS TRASH! I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE MY FAMILY BACK FOR ONE HOUR! Anything, just for an hour with the people who love me. I am very lucky your family has accepted e into their family." Harry ended with a chocked sigh. Percy looked very frightened.
"But if I dwell on the depressing things, like the fact that my parents are dead and I am not wanted with my relatives, I would be very depressed. I don't like being depressed." Harry said, stomping out of the Great Hall to do his homework. Percy thought for a moment, maybe he didn't have it so bad with his family. Maybe he should try to understand them more. But he decided not to. These thoughts would come back to him later, before the battle of Hogwarts.
