Chapter 4

A/N: hey everybody, I'm sorry this took so long to get out, I had to do some research for it and I have been away in Hanmer (a small township out of Christchurch, New Zealand), and for some unknown reason my beta hasn't got back to me on this (could be my fault though, my email probably didn't send or something). Anyhow, the idea for this chapter came to me in the middle of the night and I'm not sure how plausible it will be, I don't really know if I like it, this said please stick with me and review with any ideas/criticisms~ as always flames are welcome, I like people who are honest.

Disclaimer: I really hate having to put these things in, never have and never will own Harry Potter et co.

Dear Percy,

'You really are to smart for your own good'

I'll take that as a compliment (I think) I'll also take it that it means there is something deeper going on here.

I repeat my question: Why are you against Harry and Dumbledore? This really makes little sense to me. You once said that Harry was really like another brother to you, and as for Dumbledore he is one of the greatest wizards alive (or dead for that matter.)

Please just open up to me Perc, I know you have shared a lot already, and it must have been hard for you but if you will just tell me some more I will be able to help you more

Love Hermione.

Dear Hermione,

Well like I have said you are a talented young lady, you figure it all out!

You seem to know everything, why don't you know this huh?

Go away

P.W

~*~*~*~

 Dear Percy,

What the heck is going on here?

I have never seen you so uptight, and blunt. Your letter was extremely out of character. I know you're probably mad at my busybody ways but I hate seeing you and your family like this.

Write me

Hermione

~*~*~*~

 Dear Hermione,

What on earth are you talking about? I get this polite letter from you saying that you would like to help my family, and me and wanting to know about my dislike for Harry Potter and Dumbledore.

I am very much confused, what dislike for the pair? After all like you said Harry is a brother to me. And Dumbledore I respect greatly.

Then I get this other letter saying all these things about myself been blunt and rude? I am most perplexed.

But then you may have simply got the wrong address.

Oh well I look forward to seeing you in the holidays. Mother and Father said you would be visiting the Burrow again.

Have a pleasant school year and good luck for your exams

Your friend Percy.

Dear Professor McGonnagall,

Enclosed is my most resent correspondence with Percy Weasly, I wrote to him after Ron received a letter from him a few months back.

At first things seemed normal but I recently got the enclosed letter. He seemed to have no memory of sending a letter before this, or of the situation with his family. After carefully reading through his other letters I do now notice his behavior is very uncharacteristic.

Some of his letters have been extremely short, unlike the wordy Percy we know and love. while others seem to be perfectly in character for him.

I ask however Ma'am that you do not mention this correspondence to either Percy or his family. I am very concerned about his behavior, and am hoping you may be able to give some insight into it.

Sincerely Hermione Granger

Dear Ms. Granger,

This is very perplexing indeed and I thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I will do some research into it and will get back to you.

In the mean time, concentrate on your exams and trust that this will stay between us.

Sincerely M. McGonnagall

Dear Hughbert,

My old friend, how are you?

I apologize for not writing in so long, I trust things at St. Mungos are in order.

I am writing concerning the rare medical disorder you told me about a recently, I have a student that is currently displaying some of the symptoms you were telling me about,

Love to Annette and the children

Minerva

Dear Minerva,

Hello! It has been a while, you really must come and visit, Annette would be delighted to see you.

I am assuming that the disorder you are talking about is schizophrenia.

It is  rather common disorder  muggles, affecting about 1% of their entire population. However it is extremely rare in wizards and is largely believed to occur because of heavy amounts of stress, or ,in extremely rare cases, when patients are leading two separate lives~ such as working as a spy, or living as one person while actually been another.

I have including some basic information.

Hope it is of help

Do say Hello to Albus for me

Love Hughbert

 Dear Hermione,

I do not know if this will be of any assistance, and I am trusting you with this information.

M. McGonnagall

P.S do make sure you find time for you homework and studies my dear.

Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disease found only in muggle born witches and wizards.

Although schizophrenia affects men and women with equal frequency, the disorder often appears earlier in men, usually in the late teens or early twenties, than in women, who are generally affected in the twenties to early thirties. People with schizophrenia often suffer terrifying symptoms such as hearing internal voices not heard by others, or believing that other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. These symptoms may leave them fearful and withdrawn. Their speech and behavior can be so disorganized that they may be incomprehensible or frightening to others.

The first signs of schizophrenia often appear as confusing, or even shocking, changes in behavior.

There is no known single cause of schizophrenia, although several different theories~ such as the idea of leading double lives. However it is more widely spread in the muggle population.

It is supposed that this is the reason that only muggle born witches and wizards contract this disorder. Some people have speculated it may also have something to do with serious revelations been made in a persons live, as well as high emotional stress.

~*~*~

Dear Professor,

Thank you, I believe this could explain a lot about Percy, his parents recently revealed to him that he was adopted, or so he tells me, this may have some founding in his behavior.

Do not concern your self, I am making sure that my studies and prefect duties take top priority

Sincerely Hermione Granger

~*~*~*~

Dear Hermione,

Yes I was aware of Percy's adoption, which is why my immediate thoughts were of this disorder.

Please let me know when you receive any more letters from Mr. Weasley

M. McGonnagall

A/N  Ok I hope that was understandable, the information on schizophrenia came from I'm not sure how accurate the information in here is, I have not studies schizophrenia in class yet.

Please review ^_^
