A/N: So sorry about the wait. I have been very busy with graduation and senior and procrastinating very important projects. Sorry!
Percy finished reading the article. He gulped, he knew his siblings would not enjoy this. Not in the least little bit. He feared seeing his brothers, and his heart broke into a million pieces when he imagined his sister in her room crying and cursing Hermione and Harry. He pulled his head up as he heard a pop.
"What did you do?!" a voice yelled. The voice belonged to none other then Bill. Another pop and Charlie appeared. Percy knew he was in more trouble now then what he had ever been in his life. Percy sank into his chair with regret over his actions.
"Don't you hide from us!" Charlie barked. Percy was scared, Charlie was always laughing and smiling never frowning or glaring with anger.
Percy looked up to his two oldest brothers and spoke quietly, "I didn't mean to."
"Didn't mean to what precisely?" Bill asked. Percy never heard his two eldest brothers yell at him. In fact, he'd never heard them yell at all period. Percy thought of one time when Fred and George had taken Charlie's broomstick. Charlie didn't yell at them at all. He just laughed and told them not to take it without permission again. Percy knew his choice hit the lower then low button.
"There was a witch who heard the whole thing at Madame Malkin's. She said to consider it a favor for not being invited to Gin and Harry's wedding."
"Don't you dare call her Gin!" Charlie Barked. "Gin is only for people who care about her. Ginny is crying her eyes out, and cursing Hermione to heck and back. Do you even remember what it's like to hear Gin cry? The heart ache, and feeling like the worst brother in the world for not keeping her happy? Do you?"
"I'm sorry!" Percy exclaimed. "If I could do it over…. I wouldn't do it!" Percy knew he could call security but didn't because he had belittled himself enough already. He needed to be a man and stand up against his brothers.
"You weren't there during the chamber of secrets though." Percy added, "I was. I saw her crying on a daily basis. You didn't even come and see her! I was there for her! I sat and listened to her problems and hugged her and told everything would be alright. Do you know what it's like to be the same building as where someone told you, your sister died? Did you see the look on her face after being rescued by Harry?"
Bill exploded then, "Percy, you of all people should know what work is like. I didn't even know about the chamber of secrets till after she was found. And even then, I didn't get a call from mum till I had arrangements made to get to England immediately. I love Ginny more then you could ever imagine. Just because there is a huge gap between myself and her doesn't mean I don't love her!"
Charlie argued in, "It's all true. I had arrangements to met Bill in London and go from there to home." Seeing Percy was still unimpressed, Charlie looked at Bill, "C'mon. I recognize a lost cause when I see one. Let's try and get Gin settled down." Both men disappeared leaving Percy to think upon the words exchanged there in his office. Percy recollected his memories of his brothers and realizing he was the first to witness the full explosion of Bill and Charlie Weasley. Percy felt like he understood why boys were afraid to date Ginny and of making her cry. Those boys were the wisest men Percy could think of. Percy just wanted to die, he sent Ginny roses immediately and decided just not to get involved with his family. Percy left the office to recollect on the events in his apartment.
