Percy!

[Amber]

Again, I wasn't quite sure if this belonged on the main list since it's
mainly gushing and fanfiction so I thought I'd rather be safe than
sorry and post it here.

I'll be honest, Percy Weasley was never one of my favorite characters.
I always blew him off, thinking he was a puffed-up buffoon. He never
impressed me and I got increasingly annoyed at him, especially in GoF.

Then, after visiting the Sugar Quills site, I visited the two Percy
webpages listed there, "Positively Percy" and "Perfect?". After reading
the material there, my opinion of Percy began to perk up. And then I
read the fanfiction possibilities for him. Well dangit, some of the
stories made me cry. And that is a darn hard thing for fanfic to do. In
fact, no fanfic has previously ever made me tear up.

Needless to say, my view of Percy has changed. There are so many
different explanations for his behavior. It's made me start to think
about *why* he does the things he does and not just dismiss him. And my
heart's softened a bit for the Head Boy.

He's now slid into my "I hope JKR develops his character a bit more"
category along with Neville and Ginny. He could really become a key
player in the further fight against ol' Voldie.

Eh, well, sorry for gushing. I just wanted to tell this to *somebody*
and I don't know anybody who wants to talk about HP seriously...
