Chapter 8
DEATH #2
PERCY WEASLEY: THE DECEASED MINISTER'S JUNIOR ASSISTANT DEAD AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 21
This young man was a member of the Weasley family. A proud and noble Wizarding family who was against the ideas of purity by Voldemort since the beginning. Percival Ignatius Weasley was the third child in a family of seven. Top of his class, and whose younger brother befriended the infamous Boy-Who-Lived. Graduating as Head- Boy Percival Weasley was accepted in the Ministry under the duration of Bartimus Crouch.
It was a short- lived employment. Crouch was controlled by Voldemort at the time, and was under the Imperius when giving Weasley command over his post.
After the death of former pupil Cedric Diggory, Percival was offered the job of Junior Assistant to the former Minister, Fudge.
Once again this was to be a short- lived employment.
The Minister was found dead just seven months after the invasion of the Ministry. Percival Weasley was missing for eight days.
On the eighth he was found.
Placed in Mungo's wards it seemed as though this young man was to live.
But alas, no.
It has been the first documented and witnessed attack of a Lethifold. The black curtain of Death. Or to some the Living Shroud.
Why this happened to this young man. We do not know.
But he shall be missed by his family who are in deep mourning.
He shall be missed by his colleagues and friends.
There shall be a ceremony held this evening in the grounds of Hogwarts, led by Harry Potter.
The Dark Lord has passed, and in memory of the souls lost we shall lay foundation for this not to happen again.

"The Lethifold is a mercifully rare creature found only in tropical climates. It resembles a black cloak perhaps half an inch thick... which glides along the ground at night."

A/N: This was my first fanfic ever so I wanted to finish it before I continue with Three Nil.
However due to the lack of views I was given, it wasn't very good.
However Percy is my favourite character so I don't think it matters.
