A/N: This is a lot shorter than the previous two but I hate violence and conflict so this was hard to write so I wanted to keep it short.
Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own the Magical world of Harry Potter.
P.S. Does anyone know if I have to write the disclaimer for every chapter?
As the door shut behind the man - Henry, was it? - Percy stood and stormed to the bedroom door. "What in the name of Merlin is going on Penelope?!" He yelled, not caring if the neighbours heard him. "How long have you been seeing these men?"
Penelope flinched, not used to him yelling at her. She quickly redeemed herself though. "Since you abandoned your family. It was just an occasional shag here and there since you were too busy working!" she shouted back, standing up so they were at eye level. "The past month it has been nearly every day. This is completely your fault Percy." She snapped at him. "First it was work, then it was stubbornness and finally it was because your brother is dead! Do you know how neglected I felt? I was always second best for you! Maybe you will just always be a big-headed, stubborn, irritating, lonely prat!" She spat at him, shoving past him to go into the bathroom.
Percy whirled around and caught her wrist. "Out." He hissed. "Now."
Penelope looked at him. Her facial expression was a cross between shock, anger and hurt. "Now isn't a good time to start joking." She frowned. "You're serious… aren't you?" She asked in amazement. Penny ran a hand through her blond hair. "What about my stuff? Where am I going to stay? You can't kick me out, Percy!" Her voice began to raise in panic.
Percy silently led her to the door. "I'll mail your stuff on once you get an address. If you hadn't been so busy in running a brothel then you would have been prepared for this." He said in disgust. "Goodbye, Miss Clearwater." The door swung shut with a bang.
Percy quickly whipped out his wand and put charms on the apartment so that no one could apparate in or out unless they were a Weasley. The rest of that day was a haze but by the end, his usually spic and span apartment looked like a hoarder's house.
Why me? He asked himself over and over. What did I ever do to deserve this? I have never cheated on anyone. I have never even cheated on a test. As he lay on the living room floor, he could hear someone knocking at the door. The knocking went on for what felt like hours. Knock-knock-knock. A pause and then knock-knock-knock. Always coming in triplets.
Percy rolled over to reach for his glasses. As he did so, he felt a hard lump in his pocket. His anger and feeling of betrayal rose up again as he took the box out of his pocket. The diamond ring inside mocked him through its container. In a fit of fury he chucked it at the wall. There was the sound of glass shattering. He put on his horn rimmed spectaculars. Penny always said they looked ridiculous. Was she right? He asked himself as he caught a glance of himself in the mirror on his way over to see which photo had broken.
Percy lifted the moving photograph from the wreckage of wooden frame and broken glass. The photo had been taken at the start of fifth year when he and Penny had started dating. We look so happy in our Prefect badges. He sighed to himself. Carefully he set beside the TV on the cabinet. It was Penny who convinced me to buy the TV…
Percy pulled himself up onto the sofa. Cocooning himself among the clothes of Penelope that he had thrown out of his bedroom. He found the undamaged bottle of wine and began to drink like an overgrown baby.
This was the moment when Percy reached complete and utter defeat.
As he slipped into the drowsy semi-consciousness of being drunk, he heard the door.
"Oh, Percy… What happened?" A voice asked him softly.
