WORDS

Chapter 6

Okies, major thanks to all my lovely reviewers! You guys really make my day, and I haven't had one flame for this ^_^ makes me so happy!!

I'm running out of different fonts for my characters as well lol, Hermione's Percy's, McGonagall's will remain the same, anyone else's will simply be underlined.

I apologize too for my McGonagall, I know she's a little OOC, but I don't really know how else to write her.

Big hugs to my beta Chiara as well, you rock.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything here that you see and recognize, only Sarah-Ann and a little bit of land in Clarkville (Yes it's actually a place, here in little ol' NZ.)

Dear Miss Granger,

This is very worrying news indeed; I will write to Ms. Mould immediately, she needs to be aware of the fact that Percy may be suffering from a form of schizophrenia (although the likelihood is he may be).

I know you wanted to keep this ordeal confidential; however I believe that perhaps it is necessary that Molly, Arthur and Professor Snape know.

Believe it or not, Severus has taken a major interest in Percy's life, including naming him. Percy is a name very close to Severus' heart. Yes, he does have a heart, even if he can be a bastard at times. (You did not here me say that).

I will write to Sarah-Ann directly, as it vital for her to know if Percy is staying with her. However, I will not write to the Weasleys or Severus until I have your reassurance it is alright.

Sincerely M. McGonagall

Dear Professor,

I agree that Sarah-Ann must be told; however, I am a little worried about how Mr. and Mrs. Weasley might react, as well as Professor Snape.

I know this is out of line, but like you said, he is rather a bastard, and I am worried that he may become more prejudice against me than he already is.

I am more worried about Percy than anyone else at this moment, he needs our help. Is there anyway that Professor Dumbledore can help him? Perhaps he could come back here to Hogwarts? I am very fond of Percy and I do not like seeing him this way.

Sincerely H. Granger

Dear Ms. Mould,

I hope this letter finds both yourself and Percy well.

I fear you may not remember me, however I was head girl in your sister's 6th year at Hogwarts. We still remain good friends.

I am writing concerning your son Percy and his staying with you.

Yes, I am aware that Percy is your birth child. I become friends with Severus many years ago after his deflection from Voldermort, between him and Molly I was able to learn the entire story of Percy's adoption.

As you may, or may not be aware, Percy recently found out about his adoption. However, he did not learn of the fact you and Severus are his parents.

I know that you have kept constant tabs on Percy, even from your home in New Zealand, so you may have noticed how erratic his behavior has been recently.

I have reason to believe that he may be suffering from a rare muggle disorder called schizophrenia. His actions at this stage do not seem violent; however, there is the possibility they may become so, and for this reason I thought it was important that you knew of his condition.

He has been corresponding with one of the students here at Hogwarts by the name of Hermione Granger. I believe that she will have a vital role in Percy's recovery, if he is able to make one at all.

I have enclosed the letters that she has been receiving from Percy and forwarding on to me.

I have not told Molly or Arthur about this, nor is Percy aware of it. As his mother I believe it is up to you to take whatever course of action you deem necessary, this said I also believe that Severus should have a role in it as well.

Severus is also unaware of Percy's condition. I realize you have not been in touch with Severus for many years, however, he is a good man underneath his façade and I am aware he still cares very much for you and his only son. He has done very well for himself and is currently Professor of Potions at Hogwarts as well as the head of Slytherin house.

I know this must have been very hard for you to hear and if I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry

Dear Minerva,

Thank you for your letter, I do remember you quite well. You and Molly used to keep me awake to all hours of the night, during the holidays at home, while I listened to you through the wall giggling about Albus and Arthur. I always wanted to join in, yet been a Slytherin it went against the houses morals etc. Silly, really.

I work as a muggle psychiatric nurse at a clinic here called Hilmortan. I had noticed Percy was displaying symptoms of schizophrenia, and have been much concerned about it.

I have not spoken to Severus for many years, yet I was aware of his position at Hogwarts and couldn't be more proud of him. I confess I miss him greatly.

I would love most dearly to bring Percy back to Hogwarts along with Molly and Arthur, Severus, and Hermione. I believe all of us must take a part in his recovery, and I would much like to meet the Ms. Granger that Percy speaks of so often.

I believe his exact words have been: "intelligent, compassionate, dedicated and rather pretty." If I weren't so concerned for the dear, I would sigh and exclaim "ahhh young love."

I would love to meet with you in Hogsmead at some stage so we can discuss this in person.

Sincerely,

Sarah Ann Mould.

 Dear Hermione,

I received a reply for Ms. Mould at breakfast this morning, I have enclosed it for you to consider, however I believe that her suggestion of having Percy and herself travel here is the best option, we could quite easily set of a floo connection for them to travel by, although Ms. Mould does have her international apparation license.

Anyhow, do consider all options laid out here, the other is that you travel to New Zealand yourself, although if you were to do so I would have to gain permission from your parents, and I know you may not enjoy this idea, but you would need a teacher to chaperon you.

I have no idea how long you would need to stay in New Zealand, for this reason you would need a qualified teacher to continue your education, and I'm afraid the only person this could possible be would be Professor Snape.

His involvement would also be needed in Percy's recovery. Other than that, Professor Dumbledore wants Sarah-Ann and Severus to try and reconcile. I must confess the man is the worse matchmaker I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, if I wasn't married to him…

Married to Professor Dumbledore?

Wait! SNAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I know it's not very long, but I wanted to end there, the next chapter should have a little more romance in it, I have many ideas where I want to go now, the stories sort of taken on a life of its own. Lol I never actually meant to make Percy Schizophrenic, it's just happened, anyhow, the next chapter shouldn't be too far away, in the meantime go press the magic button entitled REVIEW.
