PERCY'S VEIW
People saw me as stuck-up. My fellow students thought I was stuck-up, my brothers thought I was stuck-up, heck, even my own mother thought I was stuck-up!
But really, all I wanted was for things to go how they are supposed to. What's wrong with a little order? No one's ever died from being too clean; maybe too dirty, but never too clean.
Ahhh, so just think how relieved I was when Penelope Clearwater (I had slipped her the password of our Common Room) came up to me one day and told me that she really liked the way I ran the place. Ahh Penny… Sunshine of my life. We took up conversation, and ended up in the closet. Of course I would never sink so low as to place myself and another being, especially one who I happened to fancy, in a closet; but you have to keep in mind that I had three very nosy brothers and one sister at Hogwarts with me.
Luck was not completely on my side that day however, for my sister just happened to open the closet, and thought that the closet Penny and I were in was the first year girl's bedroom. I think not!
I was flustered yes, but I think Penny was more disturbed than I. The way she calmly explained to Ginny that the first year's room was up the stairs… Yes, it was all to mask her terror at being caught in a closet with a man, by the man's sister. Sheer terror.
Seeing Penny's obvious distress, I ran after Ginny and bravely explained the situation to her.
"Umm… so Ginny, you're not going to… It would probably be best if… Can you not tell anyone about this? I mean, you know how it is, she's just a girl and…Umm…"
She grinned, and I couldn't stand it anymore. I ran off; bravely.
