Difficulty in social relations.

[perfectprefect]

Recently I had the privilege of taking in a jovial game of Literati with my brother Ronald. It was during a kerfuffle he seemed to be in the midst of with his friends Harry and Seamus. I quite thought that he would enjoy a distraction, and as he proved to be far too superior at Literati for me, my assessment was correct

A touching and honest post, Mr Weasley, but one question remains. As a former Hogwarts Head Boy, why did you allow your brother Ronald to simply leave the castle? Being as you are a former member of my own House, I find it difficult to believe that you were unaware that this was simply unacceptable. Students may not, at any time, choose to vacate the premises for any reason. Why, Mr Weasley, did you not at least take the care to inform Professor Dumbledore or myself where Ron was?

Professor M McGonagall

Ah, hello, Professor McGonagall. I had merely hoped that Ronald would come to the decision on his own. As I said, at his initial request I did inform him that we would be able to enjoy learning together and that he could find custodial work at the Ministry, but he did not seem disheartened. I felt the choice to remain at or return to Hogwarts could only be one made in Ronald's free will.

Sincerely,
Percy Weasley

The cause of this was merely Ronald's instinct to protect you and to ask Seamus Finnigan to not spend so much time with your friend. He did this only to make certain that you would not lose your friend. I don't know what load of **** Ron has been feeding you, but this is such an extreme misrepresentation of events that I feel compelled to respond

I have stated only what Ronald told me. Ronald informed me that his instinct was to protect Harry and ask you not to spend so much time with Malfoy, and it is true that this is what he was doing. Whether or not you and Malfoy have spent too much time together is nothing I intend to pass judgement on, as I am acquainted with neither Malfoy or yourself. I am merely reiterating Ronald's motivations as it seems none were interested in finding them out. Ronald spoke to me for a great deal of time last Monday and while I would not normally state information told in confidence, I feel that someone needs to speak on Ronald's behalf here.

Perhaps his attempts were misguided; perhaps they were not. However, I do know that Ronald seemed quite insecure as he felt he was a lesser friend due to his lack of knowledge about fashion. You may take that as you will.

Sincerely,
Percy Weasley

At no time did Ron ask me to not spend so much time with Malfoy. (More importantly, at no time did Harry ask me to not spend so much time with Malfoy.) Instead, he made sure that I could not spend time with Dean, which, if I were interested in Malfoy, would likely have made me more likely to spend time with him, not less. Wouldn't you agree?

I am merely reiterating Ronald's motivations as it seems none were interested in finding them out.
In the post in question, I said: "To Ron Weasley: I have no idea what you are hoping to accomplish, but why can you not let Dean and I have a moment alone? What is your problem all of a sudden? I am not amused." I was interested in finding them out. He told me. That was the problem, actually, that he told me in a public place, instead of simply taking me aside and telling me his concerns.

I do know that Ronald seemed quite insecure as

Malfoy's going to start coming after you, Perce!!! Is that what you bloody what?!?! Harry does talk to me, we talked a bit at the Quidditch match (CHO WON!!!)!

I do not fear Draco Malfoy. His insults are rarely thought out. They are merely standard one-liners shouted at those who point out the truths in his ugly behaviour. He is a child and I am an adult. I did not care about him during my time at Hogwarts, and I certainly do not tremble at the thought of his empty threats now. In fact, I find his behaviour rather boring. He displays all the classic symptoms of a child who strives for attention and giving it to him merely feeds his abominable personality.

I am pleased to hear that you have spoken to Harry. However, I am still not going to delete this.

Since you were clearly expecting a comment from me, here's what you were waiting for

[knight_to_h3]

FOR THE LOVE OF SODDING EVERYTHING, MALFOY!! WILL YOU JUST DO THE WORLD A BLOODY HUGE FAVOUR AND SHUT THE HELL UP FOR ONCE?!?!

Who wants to be your friend anyway?! Not me!! I HATE YOU AND THE BLOODY AIR YOU BREATHE IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT BY NOW!!! I DON'T KNOW WHY HARRY LIKES YOU AND BULSTRODE BUT THAT'S HIS PROBLEM NOW SO SAVE YOUR PATHETIC BULLSHIT FOR THEM.

[potterstinks]

What sparkling language, Weasley. Actually, I think I'll save you the trouble and keep myself and the air I breathe here on the Continent. As I've inherited My Grandmother's estate, this is likely the best opportunity I've got to get out of Hogwarts. Congratulations, Weasley, you can have the school to yourself.

Oh now you're running away?? You know, I don't give a sod if you drop out of earth and get eaten by aliens but some people do so maybe you should stop being a fucking coward all the bloody time!@!
