    ... easygoing man. For him to actually say something like that to his own son… he looked at Ginny, and saw confirmation in her chocolate brown eyes. There was more to the story than what George had said. Ginny sighed and shifted so that she was leaning into Harry's side. "Percy called you unbalanced, said you were confusing fiction and reality, and a couple other things that I really wouldn't have thought possible. I mean, he's known you for years! You've slept under the same roof, and you've never given him a reason to doubt your sanity, but he's so blinded by Fudge and power, he won't realize his mistake until Fudge goes down." Fred nodded. "Percy got offered a promotion. Junior Undersecretary to the Minister. Dad thinks he only got offered the post to spy on Dumbledore and you. Clearly, Fudge still thinks things are all roses and sunshine between you and the headmaster, and between Dumbledore and mum and dad. I think Percy also thinks they're closer than they really are." "Dad said it didn't make sense," George picked up for his twin, "I mean, just a month ago, he was having to answer all these questions about whom he was taking orders from, when clearly, it wasn't Crouch, and now, a promotion?" "Dad told him to think about Madam Bones' support of your story, and Cedric's eye witness testimony, but Percy is just one of those people who trusts those in power blindly, because they're in power," Fred finished.

"Even after Fudge is gone, and Voldemort's return is announced to the wizarding world," she ignored the small flinches from several of the group, "he probably won't acknowledge his mistake. I know it's hurting mum, but some of the things he said, I don't think even she would welcome him back until he apologizes, to all of us." Ron nodded his agreement. He had heard a lot of the argument, even after Mrs. Weasley had sent them all out of the room, and he couldn't believe his brother was capable of acting like that. Even if Percy had always been more uptight and unwilling to bend than his other siblings, he had thought that he at least sort of liked Harry, but everything he had heard just negated that idea. Harry rested his arm across Ginny's shoulders and drew her closer, hugging her gently. "I'm sorry," he murmured, knowing how closely knit the Weasley family was, and hating that they were arguing over him. George shook his head. "Not your fault," he replied immediately. Fred nodded. "Percy's just being a git. He should know better than to doubt you." "Family sticks together," George said. "Percy's just forgotten that," Fred summed up. Ron was nodding his agreement now. "They're right, Harry," he told his friend earnestly. "You're a part of our family too. Percy's just too ...
