For bizarity! lilacsigil April 16 2006, 04:36:52 UTC

Recipient: bizarity
Prompt: Percy Weasley's getting married
Word count: 100
Rating: G

"Marry me, Percy Weasley!"
"Oh, yes, a hundred times, yes! Catch me as I swoon, most majestic Minister of Magic!"
"I'll form a Sub-Committee for Ministerial Marriage at once!"

Fred, laughing, dropped the swooning George on the ground. They bowed to their giggling audience, which consisted of Ginny, Ron, Harry and Hermione, scoffing sundaes outside Fortescue's.

Percy, across the street, ducked into Madame Malkin's. It had been a shock when Fudge asked him to spy on his own family, but he had followed Dumbledore's advice to agree, then stay away.

He hadn't expected the family to make it so easy.

Nice! You've made me feel bad for Percy and his isolation - just another victim of the war (and of his brothers' cruelty). Great job!

Re: For bizarity! lilacsigil April 16 2006, 11:46:36 UTC

Thank you! The twins are amusing, but they're high on my list of people I would never want to actually meet.

Re: For bizarity! gileonnen April 16 2006, 11:04:53 UTC

So very in-character, and I can't believe you did so much with only one hundred words! Excellent job--very poignant.

Re: For bizarity! lilacsigil April 16 2006, 11:47:55 UTC

Thank you! Percy is very Gryffindor in the way he sticks to his guns, but it doesn't mean he doesn't feel things.

Re: For bizarity! onyx_noir April 16 2006, 11:23:27 UTC

Yes! Percy as Dumbledore's mole within the MoM. It's a theory that I and a couple of friends have had for quite some time now.

Well done!

Re: For bizarity! lilacsigil April 16 2006, 11:49:19 UTC

I think it's highly possible, at least that Percy is a way of spreading disinformation within the Ministry. Dumbledore is the most successful politician in the books, in my opinion. Glad you liked it!

Awww... poor Percy. Is he considering doing Fudge's bidding after all? Damn Fred and George and their funny-but-mean antics!

Re: For bizarity! lilacsigil April 17 2006, 05:13:44 UTC

Fred and George never know when to stop - it's enough to kill anyone's sense of humour after a while. Thanks for commenting!

Glad you liked it! Yes, I hope JKR manages to fit poor Percy in, too.

Incredibly astute. Am I allowed to say, I'm so very sorry?

Re: For bizarity! lilacsigil April 17 2006, 05:15:27 UTC

I'm sure it will all work out in the end. *crosses fingers*

Glad you liked it!

Re: For bizarity! ex_ella_bane358 April 16 2006, 15:33:55 UTC

Ohhh, poor Percy. :(

Great drabble!

Re: For bizarity! lilacsigil April 17 2006, 05:16:10 UTC

Thank you! I find it sad that Percy is mocked for working hard, when Bill and Charlie obviously do, too.

Re: For bizarity! bizarity April 16 2006, 16:46:36 UTC

I love it! Thank you so much! I wasn't expecting something so funny and poignant all mixed into one but it's so cool!
