The Last Memory: Chapter 2
So sorry for the wait my HD broke.
The next morning the castle was eerily quiet. The exams had been canceled, there was warm breakfast on the table and everyone seemed to be sleeping in after over 2 years of terror and fright. However, Harry Potter was not everyone. Harry was sitting alone in the Room of Requirement thinking. A million questions whirled his mind. He and Percy were so different how on earth could they be brothers? Then, Harry thought some more, he himself had never felt like he had a place in this world. He always felt as if there was an empty space left. He had always assumed that the empty space were his parents' absence but could it be because he had a brother. Harry had thought I never thought of it like that.
"Nor did I."
It took Harry a moment to register that he had said his last thought out loud. Harry took a long look at Percy and wondered what on other Percy could mean by that. Then, once again Percy seemed to read Harry's mind.
"You see," Percy began, "I too always felt that something was missing. Perhaps, that is why the idea of power and ambition appealed to me. I always thought that if I had followed the rules that something good – answers would come my way. Subconsciously, I always knew that I was second. Now I know it was that part of me wondering why you got to grow up with your own family and I couldn't."
Harry stared at Percy for a moment and sputtered the first thing that came to his mind.
"But, you were really jealous of getting the chance to live under a cupboard?" Harry asked.
At that moment the rest of the Order walked in and Harry was frankly glad. Percy looked relieved as well. If Harry knew anything about is newfound brother it was that Percy wasn't the spill guts type of guy.
A little chapter for now. Much more on Friday. Who saw the How I Met Your Mother Finale? Thoughts? PM me with them.
