Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-15 03:33 pm (UTC)She knew that I suspected she was up to no good and wanted me ruined. Just couldn't prove it until she started digging around in my private life. Bitch was going to try to use Alec is discredit me, but she couldn't find anything she could either use or misconstrue. "He's a muggle" isn't going to damage my reputation because everyone already knows about the Weasleys and their fascination with muggles.
I used to hate that I had that working against me, but I also used to be a complete and utter prat.

Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-15 03:46 pm (UTC)Wow. In a relationship with a muggle was the best she could do? You must be really boring, then.
You used to hate how much we like muggles? That is a little prattish, hate to say.

Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-15 04:10 pm (UTC)I used to hate the way people looked down on us for it. Our grandmother got disowned for marrying a Weasley. Merlin forbid the Black family associate with blood traitors like us.
My first year at the Ministry, when I was working for Crouch Sr, every comment on my performance was qualified with "for a Weasley." I wanted to be judged for my own merits and not for my last name. That's why I flew off the handle when Dad suggested Fudge was just using me because our family is close to Harry. I wasn't right, but fuck I was only 18. I thought for the first time in my life, someone had seen me for me and not as "another one of those Weasleys - which one are you again?"
*pauses* Sorry. I don't talk about that often because it's hard for me to shut up when I start.

((Percy also needs therapy but he hasn't admitted that to himself yet.))
Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-15 04:58 pm (UTC)S'okay. I think out of everyone in our family, I know what it feels like the best, to be compared to everyone else...even you.
I dunno...I guess I kind of always thought of our family as kind of different, but better for it. That we were doing something good, even when everyone was against us. But, yeah...being judged just because of our last name is kinda awful.

Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-15 05:41 pm (UTC)Yeah, just like that. "Why can't you be more like your brother?" All of you were so different...smart, strong, funny...then there was me. Felt like I was nothing for the longest time.

Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-15 08:15 pm (UTC)It's alright. I sometimes felt pretty sorry for myself as well. I always worshiped all of you. Bill, Charlie...even wanted to be funny like Fred and George. I knew I could never be smart like you, though.

((The way the act like Hermione is the first person to have ever needed a time turner has always annoyed me - Percy and Bill both got 12 OWLs and therefore both would have also needed one to attend all their classes.))

Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-15 09:30 pm (UTC)I'd like to think I'm not as obnoxious about my academic performance at Hogwarts as I used to be. Nine years out, it doesn't matter at all what your grades were.
~Percy
Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-15 09:46 pm (UTC)Oh, that's not what I mean. I love my job. Couldn't see me doing anything else. But the only reason I got it was because of the war. Barely passed any OWLs. Didn't pass any NEWTs. Some days it feels kind of like I cheated a bit, that I don't know enough.
*shrug, teasing*
But you still like reminding me that you indeed are the smart one.
-Ron
Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-16 12:26 am (UTC)It's kind of hard to pass NEWTs if you never took any, you know.

Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-16 03:59 am (UTC)You have to say that because you're my brother. S'okay, I know I wouldn't have passed...don't think I wrote an essay on my own the entire time I was there.
-Ron
Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-16 08:54 am (UTC)At the risk of sounding like Mum - you had the ability to had you really applied yourself.
And if I ever say shit like that to my own children, please smack me.
~Percy
Re: Cafe in London
Date: 2013-03-16 05:09 pm (UTC)Oh, how the times have changed. And you're not telling me how writing essays is the most important skill and I'll be lost without it.
*grins cheekily*
But what if your children are just like me? Then I bet you'd sound just like Mum.
