Exhiled

Percy Weasly scribbled furiously on his parchment. He was hastily writing an apology

to family for his ignorance, stupidity, and downright asinine behavior.

Dear Mum, Dad, and brothers and sister,

    I am deeply sorry and regretful for my actions following Ron's fourth year. I

apologize for any troubling or spiteful things I may have said, and can understand if

you never forgive me fully, but I plead that you may find it in your hearts to

forgive me enough to be a part of your lives. I wish to apologize fully in person.

Love from, Percy

He felt a lump in his throat tighten. How could he be such a prat. The one time his

family members lives were in jeopardy, and he was holding a grudge because of his

sheer ignorance of the truth. How they must hate him. But he wanted to apologize

before any of them died. His dad had already come close enough.

He put the letter into a folded parchment envelope, and sealed it carefully. He

planned to mail it after he got off shift.

He pushed the stack of cauldron thickness speeches aside, and waltzed down to the

break room, a swing in his step. He would apologize to his family, and not have to

live with grief if something should happen to them.

His pewter goblet was soon filled with coffee in moments, and he drank deeply.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him.

'Dad!' His father would be in his office right now. He sprinted to the elevator,

wishing to apologize to his father first. He began his descent in the elevator,

because he was going to stop off at the front desk to take a twenty minute break. He

wanted all the time in the world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thanks, John," he said as the feeble old wizard at the desk punched his timecard

onto break time. Suddenly, two things happened at once.

A voice came aloud through the M.O.M. halls. "Attention....Breach in

security...repeat, breach in security!"

And, the huge marble wall at the north end of the main lobby exploded. Hundreds of

witches and wizards Apparated down onto the main floor. Percy was throw into the main

desk and felt a stabbing pain in his shoulder.

"Look!!!!!" yelled a wizard. "Death Eaters!!!!"

A hundred cloaked, masked wizards marched into the lobby.

'This isn't happening,' Percy thought. 'It can't be real. It just cant be.'

And, to top off all fears, Lord Voldemort himself marched inside.

Bedlam ensued.

Curses flew in every direction, and several wizards dropped dead. The cackles of

Death Eaters could be heard. It was sickening, watching these people enjoy this

torment, and Percy understood what his family was trying to warn him of. He began to

weep in regret of his decision.

It was cut short, however. A huge curse hit right next to Percy, and the ground

exploded, throwing Percy fifty feet sideways. With a sickening THUD he landed on his

head. Everything faded to black.

But, as he came to, he realized he mustn’t have been out long, because the scene was

just like how he left it. More dead wizard's bodies littered the ground, and blood

stained crimson splotches onto the white marble.

Percy felt his mouth. It was bleeding badly, and he couldn't think straight, He

wondered what damage his blow had done to his head. He spit out a tooth. There were

spots dancing in front of his eyes.

He suddenly and surprisingly found his father in the crowd, dodging curses. At that

moment, there was only one thought in his mind. 'Apologize. Now. You must.'

It was as if nothing else mattered. Percy became unaware of any other motion around

him. All his being was focused on his father.

A huge chunk of rock slammed into his head again. He was now bleeding profusely, and

he became aware he was bleeding from his ears. Blood stained his vision red. He did

not want to die without apologizing. 'I’m sorry...' he croaked, but it was less than

a squeak.

He finally found his voice.

"D-dad!!!!!!" he screamed. He father wheeled around.

"I..I-"

Suddenly, a hooded, cloaked Death Eater stepped on his hand, crusing his wand, while simultaniously, he grabbed Percy's throat.

"I think not, you wizard scum." said the Death Eater. "ADVADA KEDAVRA!"

And just as Percy began to utter "S-", his life was ended.

THE END
