(Regrets)
He thinks of the day he left with a strange amount of regret. He was being promoted, why couldn't anyone just be happy for him? He threw too much of his life into work, he figures, as he holds Harry with one hand, and Marietta with another. Harry won't even look at him! Of course, he should have suspected he was getting in too deep when Penny had dumped him, after he told her he'd sent his sweater back, but he was much too blind…All he was thinking about, when he was suddenly knocked out with a strange amount of force, was how much he wanted to be a part of the family again…
(And that is all he'll think about, until it happens, Percy swears to himself, as the world goes black.)
