Hello to all of you.

               Today we’ll talk about a character that will definitely be a character to watch in sixth book. I am not too sure whether he will be there in seventh book or not. The person whom I am referring to is none other than ‘Percy Ignatius Weasley’.

 

Let us look at the journey of this young wizard till book-5.  He is highly ambitious. He wants to be one of ‘THE PREFECTS WHO GAINED POWER’.  Ron had correctly pointed out that Percy would do ANYTHING for a bit of power. 

 

He just hates for being poor. His father neither holds any higher post in the Ministry nor has much INFLUENCE, RESPECT in the Ministry. Arthur Weasley had never sacrificed his moral values for a bit of GOLD. That’s why he didn’t get that bit of GOLD. This fact even applies to our muggle world where people of Gryffindor nature stick to one place only without giving up and without giving away moral values and on the other hand, Slytherin natured people just go higher and higher and become rich, famous by sacrificing their moral values if it is the need of the hour. This is how it is. 

 

Though Percy was in Gryffindor, he was more Slytherinish. He hated his father for not giving up THAT ATTITUDE. He started living alone and away from his brothers, in his own room because of the fact that they were also supporting his father and mother. The attitude of ‘Why can’t I have something that he/she has? Why I own everything is rubbish?’  His affection towards his mother and father existed till his parents take care of everything he wanted. We have seen in the first few books that Mr. and Mrs.Weasley tried to satisfy his needs, which were possible for them. But Percy wanted much much more than that. The relationship between Percy and his parents became more and more turbulent. Day by day, he was becoming more and more rebellious. He wanted to get out and build his own world, build his own identity at any cost. He was seeking for opportunity, for an excuse to get out and fortunately for him, he got one. His parents believed Dumbledore and Harry and tuned to join him and at
 that time, he knew that his time has come at last. So, he left his parents and joined the hands with those people who can give him a bit of power.

 

But after a year, his all dreams just crashed like a castle of playing cards. Cornelius Fudge was proven guilty for his acts. The rising of Voldemort was ’BREAKING NEWS’ for the rest who earlier, didn’t believe Dumbledore and Percy lost his one source of getting powerful i.e. Fudge, Minister Of Magic. 

 

Percy didn’t come back at the end of book-5, which suggests that he is still in a shock. His parents must have tried to contact him after the truth about Voldemort came out in public. What is the state of mind of Percy Weasley right now? One part of him must be telling him that it is entirely his fault and he must apologise for it. But the second part of him is telling him not to surrender because going back to his parents will bring back all that suffering because of which he got out of the house. So, he is in dilemma right now.

 

Now, here comes the role of Lord Voldemort who is an excellent talent hunter and thus, in need of recruiting more and more people in death eaters’ squad. He will come to know about Percy from Lucius Malfoy who has observed Percy and understood his state of mind. Now, many people in HMC will argue that though Percy hasn’t acted well for the past one year, he certainly will not join Voldemort. Even Percy won’t be thinking to join Voldemort. His real nerves are not allowing him to join evil side. Unfortunately, he is one of those Voldemort is after. Many years have passed and Voldemort wants to regain his lost political strength and manpower. So, he will definitely look for new talents. He will look for those types of persons who are mentally weak, innocent (like Snape, Regulus Black etc.). Percy Weasley will definitely prove to be one of the most important people for him. So, he won’t wait for Percy to join for he knows Percy will never do that. He will set the plot in which Percy will
 proven to be a death eater. He will start telling and proving through his plots that Percy is working for him. He will make sure that everyone believes this and when it will be a dead-end for Percy, Lord will make his final move by contacting him and promising him to take him out of this ordeal if he will work for him. Dumbledore may believe that Percy is innocent but there is Ministry, Media and all other people who will be forced by V not to trust Percy anymore. Thus Dumbledore will be helpless too. This is what Lord Voldemort’s modus operandi is. Voldemort is the hunter and Percy is the hunted. It all depends on Percy, Dumbledore Arthur & Molly Weasley now.  Let us be optimistic and hope that Percy will come back soon. We all want to see you with your parents.
