The Trouble with Imps

Reactions

Percy felt very accomplished as he walked into the Ministry.

He had successfully shut down his "brothers'" store. He couldn't believe that

they had thought that they could've gotten anywhere with a prank store.

Seriously! The only thing stupider than trying to start a prank store was

deciding it was a good idea to get involved with Harry Potter.

That boy was nothing but trouble and bad decisions. Percy

didn't care what the Ministry or Dumbledore said, that boy would bring nothing

but bad luck and bad fortune to us all.

When he walked to his desk he saw that there was a missive

from the Minister.

He must want to congratulate

me on a job well done. Percy thought as he swiftly made his way towards the

Minister's office, just missing the start of the barrage of Howlers that was

making its way to his desk.

"You wanted to see me sir?" Percy asked after knocking on

the door and entering.

"Yes Noname. Sit down. Do you know why I have called you

hear today?" Fudge asked with a harassed and unusually grim expression on his

face.

"No sir." Percy said bristling at the reminder of the fact

that he was without a last name. I hope

Penny hasn't been hurt. We are due to get married soon.

"I called you in here because of today's Daily Prophet. Have you read it yet?"

"No sir, I always get the Prophet after I have signed in and seen my workload for the day."

"Well," the Fudge said sliding a copy towards Percy with the main story facing

up and a picture of his face staring back at Percy. "I'd suggest you read it

before anything else happens."

Percy stormed out of the Ministry extremely frustrated and

humiliated. Fired!! He couldn't believe he had been fired. He couldn't believe

that the twins had done that! He didn't know what the huge concern was, he knew

those sluts had enjoyed it. At least he hadn't been arrested.

When he got to the Apparation room, he quickly apparated to

Diagon Alley so that he could contact his mother.

Dumbledore was sitting in his office, calmly sucking on his lemon

drops when it came. At first there was nothing on the horizon, then it was like

a sea of red. It was Howler after Howler.
