Why you should read this ...
This is such an amazing journey. Everything about it as it progresses just made me want to yell Yes, yes, YES!. It details the gradual feeling of frustration that creeps over Percy - just sucks you into being right there inside Percy's head, seeing the world first through his rose-tinted glasses, and then in harsh lines as those cheerful tints fade. Percy here is very much himself, headstrong and independent, but at the bottom of it all, a true Weasley.
This story just covers all the ground throughout DH so well, up to the point Percy rejoins his family - it's fics like this that make me think oh, so that's what JKR meant in the backstory.
Believe me when I say this is so good you can't miss it!
