The Wrath of Percy Weasley
By, Kristin Van Iderstine
Tall, red haired and intellectual this man is
Third in line of the Weasley family
Trying his hardest to prove his importance in a family of seven
His eldest brother working for the wizard bank
His second eldest brother working with the dragons of Romania
The twins, both pranksters and the house Beaters.
His youngest brother Ron, best friends of the one and only Harry Potter
And Ginny, the youngest of the Weasleys and the only sister of the seven.
Percy the prefect.
A common name he was called
While he spent his summers up in his room writing to the one and only
friend
His Girlfriend Penelope Clearwater.
Mentioned only once or twice throughout Percy's time in Hogwarts
For she was one of the first to fall under the snakes spell
The love life of Penelope and Percy was secret known only by them
Found out by Ginny but vanished within time
No one quite knows what happened to Percy's love
Just as no one knows what Percy feels
Percy Weasley was the quiet one of the family
The one who became the Head Boy, but rarely left his room
Dedicated to his work, some may think him to be the typical nerd
Always working on his homework or job and not even noticing the world
around him
Talked down by many of the fans as the most pointless and boring character
Is that really so?
Who was the one who welcomed Harry to the Gryffindor house?
Who was the one who worked with the minister of magic?
Taking his place as a judge in the Tri-Wizard contest.
The one and only Percy
Though some may still see him as a character of less importance
I see him as the character of greatest need
Though his role in the story is small and distant
He is the role model to those who are the same as he is
Those who are smart and dedicated to the work that they do
And those who are distant and separated from the world around them
Though this may not be true for everyone
There is a Percy Weasley within each of us.
Whether is apparent only one in a great while or everyday
It is still there
So I come to you now
Don't judge him for how the media portrays him
Or for your own quick assumptions
Search deep in the pages
To find the true Percy Weasley
For no one quite knows what the wrath of Percy is like
And not many want to deal with the constant pain.
He is calling silently through the pages of the stories.
Are you willing to listen to his cry?
He is telling you his life.
Are you willing to hear?
It is up to you whether the slow and painful wrath of Percy is worth the
suffering
Chose wisely
For your choice can be the beginning or the end of a new world.
The world of PercyWeasley .
