For Merlin's sake! Date & Time: Saturday March 2nd, 2003| Morning Post Type: Introspective Status: Closed: Complete Character: Percy Weasley Location: Percy's flat Summary: Percy takes first steps towards pulling himself together.
Percy looked at the calendar he had pinned to the wall, the first time in a few days that he had done so. He swore to himself as he realised what day it was.
He had missed Ron's birthday.
When he added this embarrassing behaviour to the indecent amount of time it had taken him to reply to Katie's owl, Percy knew that it was time to pull himself together. Locking himself away in his flat for days on end with only Hermes for company was a ridiculous way to behave. Although Percy had a feeling that Hermes was appreciating the extra attention and treats, he himself was growing sick of looking at the same four walls. After all, there were only so many hours a day that Percy could fill with reading before the words started to swim in front of his eyes.
Percy sat down at his small desk and pulled out a fresh sheet of parchment and a quill. He hadn't made a new to-do-list since he had left the Ministry, but it was obviously time he started doing so again. Whilst his memory had improved due to the pills he was taking, he obviously needed a list as a reminder and encouragement to do things.
To Do:
1. Owl Ron with apology and present. 2. Find out how Ginny is. 3. Owl Penny and Oliver to catch up. 4. Owl Mandy to let her know how the pills are going. 5. Sort through books and decide which ones to sell. 6. NEW JOB!!!
Percy sat back in his chair with a slight smile on his face. He felt better already. No more putting things off.
