To be Gray

Quiet Retribution

This would be huge for Percy. At best with their current reputation, Percy would never become the best of what he wanted. 

"I cannot make these decisions without discussing them with my family." Bill said 

"I would not demand you to do so. What I am offering is a massive series of events that can change your and your family's life. Please discuss things with Lord Weasley. I will also be taking over the boys gear for when they represent my family. It is only fair as those under my protection whom I have such high hopes for." Rosetta said 

Bill left that room in a daze. He would later find out that he would have a significant bonus added to his account as well as a present for the Weasleys in their bank account. 

I smirked as I knew Ronald and Dumbledore were going to lose a lot of their backing once I took the Weasleys out of the picture. Over the next few weeks, I watched as Ronald got spammed with letters from his father. I watched as Percy got one as well as the twins. They seemed excited. I had already written to Father so that he could meet with Arthur Weasley to discuss the apprenticeship of Percival Weasley. Ron was demanding to read what had his brothers so excited. They were refusing him and made him as red as a tomato. Towards the end of breakfast and before classes I had a package for Percy from my father. I went to Percy with the package and instructions to give him the basics. 

"Percy, this is a standard package from Father. He will be arriving to pick you up on the same weekends he comes for Anastasia and myself. I also need to instruct you on the basics you now need to live by." I said 

Percy was excited but Ron seemed furious. 

"What is so important that he gets to leave school and we don't?!" Ron demanded along with Jamie coming forward

"Anyone is allowed to leave school grounds with a parents consent as long as education is not to be disrupted, according to the Hogwarts charter. You are free to look it up in the library if you wish." Percy said as I ignored them 

"In the package is a uniform. Father believes in unlocking ones true potential and then sailing beyond it. Father will make you what you wish to be then take you even further and then help you become the best of it. First things first? What is the goal you are prepared to die for?" I asked and explained 

Percy nodded and thought about it. 

"I want to be Minister of Magic one day. I want to be able to say that under my guidance the wizarding world was prosperous and safe. I want it to better than now where blood is mightier than law." Percy said and I had a small smile on my face 

"This is what you want? This is what you are prepared to sacrifice and die for?" I asked 

"Yes."

"Good then Father will surely be able to get you there. Be prepared though. This will be hard work and certainly won't come easy." I said 

Percy nodded. I pulled out a book of what notes I made growing up. 

"I started out as Father's apprentice. I wanted to never be helpless again. I worked for almost four years on that. Father adopted me and I still have much to learn. I took notes on everything in the beginning. Your schedule will more than likely look a lot like mine in the beginning. You have to know a lot in this business to make it where you want to be. Read this thoroughly before the weekend and practice what you can. My father will expect great things from you, Percy. Don't disappoint." I said 

Ronald tried to snatch the book from Percy but Percy was faster and he refused to let the precious book go. I smacked Ronald's hand and pulled Percy closer to me.
