You've never given him a reason to think anything bad of you, and then suddenly he get's a job in the Minister's office and he thinks you're mental?" Hermione shook her head, frowning, but Neville was almost as furious as the Weasleys. "I can't believe Percy's so willing to throw away his family for a job," he commented quietly."
