At the busy dinner table of the Weasley family, Percy Weasley suddenly stood up, his face filled with pride that could not be concealed:"I have important news to tell everyone - I have been promoted!"
His As soon as the words fell, the Weasley family, who were originally discussing the matter of joining the Order of the Phoenix, fell into silence.
Everyone put down their dishes and looked at Percy in surprise.
Fred was the first to break the silence, his face full of disbelief:"You were promoted? They would actually promote you?"
"Why not?"Percy glared at his brother dissatisfied
"I thought you were in a lot of trouble with Crouch."George was also puzzled. This fact was so abnormal.
Percy glared at his twin brother with dissatisfaction and said contemptuously:"That's just an excuse they gave themselves. As long as you use your brain, you will know that no one will actively suspect that there is something wrong with their boss, unless he no longer wants to work in the Ministry of Magic. Mr. Crouch's investigation was concluded and they considered my abilities to be good, so I was promoted."
The Weasley family looked at each other, feeling very surprised.
The originally warm atmosphere in the Weasley kitchen suddenly became tense.
Mr. Weasley noticed the unusualness behind Percy's promotion, and he put down his hand. Knife and Fork looked at his son:
"Percy, what kind of position did they offer you?"
Percy straightened his back and said"663" with unconcealable excitement:"For the position in the Office of the Minister of Magic, I became Assistant to Minister Fudge."
For a young man who has just graduated from Hogwarts for a year, this is undoubtedly a dream job.
However, no one in the Weasley family showed joy. They knew well that Fudge and Dumbledore He also understood the possible risks behind this job.
Now that Percy has become the assistant minister, there is no problem with this matter.
Mr. Weasley's face became solemn, and he stared at Percy's face. Eyes:"This thing is weird. I suspect that Fudge placed you in his office to use you to spy on our home, or - to spy on Dumbledore.
He asked in a deep voice:"You agreed?""
The atmosphere in the kitchen instantly dropped to freezing point, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Percy's answer.
Percy took a deep breath and admitted frankly:"Yes, I agreed. Mrs. Weasley
's expression suddenly changed, and she was furious:"Percy, how can you agree to others spying on your family?" Don't you understand how much trouble this would cause us? We are a family and should trust each other instead of doubting each other!"
"Why don't you agree?"
Percy's eyes flashed with a hint of stubbornness and indifference. He looked at his father, with resentment in his voice:
"You probably don't know how bad your situation is in the ministry, right? You don't know how hard it is for me to live in the Ministry of Magic because of you. Whenever people hear my name is Weasley, they look at me strangely, as if there is something stained on me."
His voice gradually became excited, and the emotions that were originally just deliberately brewing have been replaced by real pain and resentment:
"Ever since I entered the Ministry, I have been struggling desperately to escape the influence of your bad reputation. Otherwise, I have no hope of getting promoted and can only stay at the bottom and dawdle. Do you know how desperate that is? I work hard to prove myself every day, but your reputation is like an invisible shackle that I can't break free from. He paused, took a deep breath, and continued:"Fortunately, I am the only one in the family who has entered the Ministry of Magic, otherwise more people would blame you for this." You haven't even considered my situation, why you haven't been promoted for so many years, and why the situation at home is so bad. Have you really never thought about the reason?"
He didn't care about Mr. Weasley's gradually distorted face, and followed his emotions to reveal all the pain he had suffered this year.
"Are you finished?"
Mr. Weasley's face had turned livid. He glared at Percy angrily, stood up suddenly, and slammed the plate in front of him to the ground.
If Mrs. Weasley hadn't caught him in time, he would have died. I'll rush up and beat someone up.
"Arthur, calm down. She held her husband's arm tightly and kept saying,"And Percy, you too, stop talking.""
However, Percy seemed not to hear his mother's words and continued to vent his emotions:"What's wrong with me? I just spoke my mind. You always ask me to consider and sacrifice for my family, but who has ever considered my feelings? I am also a human being, and I also have my own dreams and pursuits!"
"Percy, you should apologize to your father."Bill suddenly felt that Percy had become very strange, and even the brotherhood between them had cracks at this moment.
Percy did not flinch, and continued to coldly warn Arthur:"Fudge is already doubting you. Yes, father. He's considering whether to kick you out of the Ministry of Magic. What would happen to your family if you lost your current job? Fred, George, Ron and Ginny are all still in school. Have you considered their tuition fees, living expenses, and our family's expenses? You have no idea how difficult it is for them at school because they have a father who is notorious in the Ministry of Magic!"
"Shut up, Percy!"
Bill shouted sternly. He felt that Percy's words were too much and planned to stop him from continuing.
"Bill, you have never experienced it yourself. You don’t know how many strange looks you have to endure when you go to school with second-hand books and second-hand robes!"
However, Percy did not stop and retorted even louder,"Especially in the first year of my freshman year, I was laughed at a lot. Do you know what that feels like? Do you know how much we long to have brand new books and robes like everyone else?"
Percy glared at his father angrily:"Don't you know that this will probably make us unable to hold our heads high in front of others?"
The others all looked at Percy dumbfounded. They were shocked and speechless by his words.
Although what Percy said was indeed correct, they had also been ridiculed and looked down upon by others because of their father's reputation, but how could he Dare you say this.
At some point, the cries of the Welay people broke the heavy silence.
Everyone glared at Percy. At this moment, he became the enemy of the whole family.
"I know you all want to join the Order and pursue that glory and justice."
At this point, Percy's voice became earnest,"But have you really not considered Dumbledore's current situation? He himself was in a lot of trouble and trouble. If you still insist on being with him, aren't you afraid of being implicated by him and falling into the abyss together? This is downright stupid."
He sighed and expressed his opinion:"Everyone thinks that Dumbledore is confused. He knows that the entire magical world is trying to avoid mentioning that name, but he insists on publicizing the return of the mysterious man everywhere. He is not against Fudge alone, but he is on the opposite side of the entire British wizarding community - few people will support him."
"Percy, Dumbledore had his reasons for doing that. Both Harry and Dumbledore saw You-Know-Who's return, and they wouldn't lie."Mrs. Weasley looked at her son with pleading eyes, hoping that Percy would stop making trouble.
A trace of ridicule and disdain flashed across Percy's face:"Mother, of course I am willing to believe Dumbledore. But without evidence, who would believe us? He sneered,"The only evidence is their one-sided words, but this alone cannot convince anyone."..Especially in this era when no one is willing to face the return of the Dark Lord, people are more willing to believe that Dumbledore is old and confused and cannot be trusted."
"Mr. Levingreen, everyone is familiar with him, right?"Percy suddenly brought up this topic,"He has long predicted that the mysterious man will come back, and told us in private that the entire magical world will be in chaos in the next few years. Fred raised his eyebrows and teased:"Oh, that Levin Green?" I remember, didn't you always admire him and want to follow him?"
"Yes, didn't you also say that he is the future leader of the magic world?"George also joined in.
Percy glared at them:"I'm talking about business now. Have you seen Mr. Green stand up and announce that the mysterious man is back? He looked around and continued:"I have read the interview report with him. He used words like speculation, suspicion, and I believe throughout the whole process, but he did not clearly say that the mysterious man had returned."Because he knows very well how stupid and dangerous it is to spread such news without conclusive evidence."
At this point, Percy sneered:
"Deputy Director Gianna, who has a good relationship with Levine, has now been promoted to Director of the Legal Enforcement Department. Together with her allies, she is in charge of half of the Ministry of Magic's departments. But even so, they did not dare to publicly acknowledge the news of the mysterious man's return. Because they know how much panic and confusion it will cause. He shook his head:"Dumbledore not only promoted the return of Voldemort, but also made such stupid suggestions: canceling the dementors and wooing giants... This is simply adding chaos to the wizarding world!" If he really wanted to solve all the troubles and threats, he should propose to kill all the vicious prisoners in Azkaban and let the giants disappear from Britain completely! Instead of causing trouble for everyone by making stupid suggestions that are simply unrealistic and unlikely to succeed."
Hearing this, Mr. Weasley couldn't bear it anymore.
"Are you finished? He threw the object in his hand towards Percy,"I really misjudged you!" who do you think You Are? How dare you comment on Dumbledore like this?!"
"I just expressed my opinion."(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
But Percy looked at his father without flinching.
"If you insist on betraying the Ministry of Magic and joining that illegal organization, then I have nothing to say. But please remember one thing: from this moment on, I will no longer belong to this family!"
Percy nimbly dodged the object thrown by Mr. Weasley angrily. The object hit the wall with a muffled sound.
He turned around expressionlessly and walked upstairs to pack his luggage with heavy steps.
Upstairs In the room, Percy quickly packed his things, and the clothes, books, and personal belongings disappeared into his suitcase one by one.
Finally, he stood in the center of the room, took a deep breath, and the magic of [Apparition] instantly enveloped him.
With a burst of distorted air and flickering light, Percy's figure disappeared into the room.
In the hall downstairs, Mrs. Weasley had just realized that something was wrong with the movement upstairs. She hurried upstairs and pushed away When Percy opened the door to his room, he saw that the room was empty, even the air had a hint of desolation.
"he's gone."Mrs. Weasley murmured to herself, her voice full of unspeakable loss and pain, and she would collapse at any time.
Tears welled up in her eyes again.
Mr. Weasley heard the movement and came over, and saw In the empty room, his face became even more gloomy.
"Let him go! Just pretend I don’t have this son!"
"No, Arthur, you can't do this. Mrs. Weasley finally couldn't help crying,"I want to go find him and have a good chat with him.""
She turned and walked towards the door. She could probably guess where Percy would go.[]
In fact, there aren't many places Percy can go right now..
