Felt like no matter what you did, someone had already done it? I heard the phrase "just like Bill" far too many times, but it hurt the most when it was Mum.

*nods*

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.

I wished I'd have noticed, but I was too busy feeling sorry for myself back then. When I wasn't busy hero worshiping Bill.

*chuckles softly and shakes his head*

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.

Sometimes being smart is overrated. And five years of using a time turner to take 12 classes - it's a miracle I didn't die of exhaustion.

~Percy

((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.))

You can do anything if you're smart. You're going to be the Minister, Hermione could do whatever she wanted...which I guess is numbers, go figure. And that was your thing. You're smart...and, of course, you knew it too. Still do, obviously.

You can do whatever you want too, Ron.

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.

*chuckles softly*

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.

*lightheartedly* Oh shut it, you.

It's kind of hard to pass NEWTs if you never took any, you know.

~Percy

Re: Cafe in London

[http://users.livejournal.com/_eyesofpride_/]

I know, that's what I mean. Almost everyone else there had that knowledge, was smart enough to pass all those NEWTs...but not me. Cause I didn't take them.

You'd have passed with flying colors if you had taken them.

*laughs, shaking his head*

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.

You were too busy saving the rest of our asses to spend time on your schoolwork.

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.

*laughs heartily*

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.

Well I'm keeping the insta-paperwork power for a reason. Gets really fucking boring after awhile.

*groans* I don't want to be an asshole dad. I want to be a fun dad.
