Jealousy

Enjoy! I’m doing some of my own some from the list!

Ok let's completely forget how he was barely 20 when he had that fight with his parents in the beginning of OOTP. Let's forget how wizards far older than him also fell for the Daily Prophet propaganda, or how Harry's peers like Seamus also fell for it but the fandom doesn't bash them as much as they bash Percy for it.

Let's completely forget the fact that he was like 5yo when Voldemort died and he grew up in that transition period between war and "normalcy" where normalcy just meant going back to the same unchecked bigotry and corruption that led to this war in the first place and let's forget what Voldemort returning would mean for someone like him and many others and how terrifying that thought was and why so many people were so quick to deny it.

Let's ignore how 3 years before that fight, 3 years before his family told him Voldemort was back, he had to watch students at school being petrified for a whole year while the staff and headmaster couldn't find the culprit, his long-term girlfriend was petrified too for being a muggleborn, his little sister was mindcontrolled into letting out some monster that attacked people, then she was kidnapped and almost died.

Let's ignore how 2 years before Voldemort came back, Percy became Head Boy and had the shared responsibility of keeping fellow students safe while a mass murderer (as far as he knew) broke out of the most protected wizarding prison and the ministry spent months searching for him and still couldn't find him, then Sirius tried to break into the Gryffindor common room, then he actually did it and woke Ron up and made it look like he was about to kill Ron, then Ron ended up at the hospital wing after the whole fiasco at the end of POA, which for Percy it looked like his little brother and his friends being almost killed by a mass murderer several times and that mass murderer escaping yet again.

And then during the year when Voldemort came back Percy's boss was mindcontrolled and then murdered by his son who should have been dead and buried in Azkaban. Imagine how Percy must have felt thinking he, his girlfriend and his family were this close to mortal danger year after year. I mean his uncles were killed by death eaters too in the first war and Percy likely doesn't even remember them but still had to watch his mother mourn them for years and years.

But no, yeah, let's talk about Ron being bullied for being poor, or complaining about what it means to grow up poor, or the twins being so desperate they tried to earn money while still in school by selling joke stuff invented by them and even blackmailing ministry higher ups, or how Arthur is always dismissed and ridiculed by his peers and bosses for being a "muggle-lover", and then completely ignore how Percy grew up the exact same way, that he had to internalize stuff like his peers getting nice things just because they wanted them while his parents could only afford to buy him new, nicer stuff on special occasions like becoming a Prefect or Head Boy, and even that came at the cost of his siblings not getting uniforms that fit or new wands.

Let's forget that he's been working at the ministry for only a year while still in his TEENS and already dealt with so much bullshit from his coworkers and boss it spilled into his fights with his family, like the boss that he idolized not bothering to remember his fucking name, his coworkers dismissing him for being "that poor, muggle-lover's son" ("having to struggle against dad's lousy reputation ever since he joined the ministry") or getting in trouble with the ministry for not noticing there was something wrong with Crouch even though he was the head of a whole ass department and a judge at the tournament so there were countless people with better positions than Percy's who interacted with Crouch and said absolutely nothing. And don't think about Percy knowing why he out of all people was made the scapegoat or worrying about what will happen to him in the future and how he will kiss goodbye his job if he talked about Voldemort returning because hey Fudge literally threatened people with that.

Let's forget that he was often the butt of the joke among his siblings and some didn't make it a secret that they considered him the annoying, less likeable one even though he was shown caring deeply about his siblings, let's forget how he grew up feeling he had to compete with his brothers (something Ron and the twins complained about several times throughout the series) and then found himself in a workplace where he had to work harder than the rest just to prove himself because he was the 19yo kid and because he came from a poor family that sympathised with muggleborns and muggles, and he had the same views by the way, but he still saw the way he was mistreated for them.

Let's forget how he grew up with all that plus the knowledge that his father could have gotten a better paying job but chose not to because he wanted to stick with his values and follow his passions, which is admirable of course, and I'm not bashing Arthur for it and he did deserve a better salary without having to switch jobs, but at the end of the day your values don't feed a family of 9 and someone was going to grow up with this and end up disagreeing with Arthur, and Percy was the only one with this opinion in his family and that created a lot of tension among his sibling and sadly this isn't the kind of conflict where one side is in the wrong and the other is right. I mean it clearly affected him enough to bring it up during the fight.

I was feeling very inspired hehehe
