Percy Jackson - His Mother's Side

Know Thy Enemy

Harry's POV

I wish I could say I expected Percy's absence to mean so much.

Truthfully, I thought nothing would really change.

Maybe it was just the expression on his face when he left. Like he'd been falsely accused to many times to deal with it again.

Maybe it was the absence of Fred and George's jokester pal. Or my friend.

In other words, we all felt his missing differently than others, but I don't think anyone felt worse than George. With good reason!

George was the one who called Percy a Death Eater and chased him away.

Now, we need to find him before Voldemort does.

"Harry, come out of there! You've been in that room since Percy left. Christmas is tomorrow! We all want to be with you." Hermione's voice echoes through the room I was in.

I stared down at my feet.

I know there ain't anything I could've done to keep Percy here, but I didn't think he would ever truly leave. He seemed pretty happy. That is, until he was accused of being a Death Eater. Then he seemed mad. That legendary mad that Percy Jackson rarely used up. For such a carefree guy, he was scary sometimes.

Scary. That makes my mind go to Voldemort. Voldemort, who probably try to find Percy to kill him. Voldemort, who sat on a baby blue beanbag to try and welcome Percy, just to be turned down.

I guess I can feel pity for him too.

I highly doubt it was easy for that man to sink so low as to the floor.

It was cruel, for Voldemort to have to watch his family grow from afar, and try to bring them closer, just to have them reject him like yesterday's trash.

I don't know. Maybe Voldemort went evil because he had no one.

Yeah, you could argue I don't, but really, I do. I have friends. Ron, Hermione, Neville, Seamus, Fred, George. I have family. Molly, Arthur, Remus, Sirius, The Dursleys. They might be good family, but at least they're someone. Voldemort has no one.

I started thinking again. Is that where Percy went? Would he betray us that easily? Just to go with George's wishes? I find it hard to believe, but I can't help but wonder why Percy is right now.

Well, wherever he is, I hope he's safe and happy.

Cue screen of Percy running from Chinese men in your own head.

Or maybe not.

I've always felt Voldemort never had any love.

He might not deserve it, but he still needs it.

Love y'all
