"Please, do so," Percy replied regarding the notes.
"I am not certain when I may have been cursed, it has simply been the natural conclusion upon looking back upon the last several years. Persons close to me have died, either those I have worked for, or persons I have recently reunited with. The first was Bartemius Crouch Sr. who was my superior in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Following that, I worked for Minister Cornelius Fudge, who while not killed during his tenure was thrown out of office, and for all intents and purposes, suffered a professional death. After that was Minister Rufus Scrimgeour, who was murdered at the Ministry prior to the arrival of Minister Pius Thickness, who was in turn not murdered but sent to Azkaban for his role in the rise of You-Know-Who."
He let out a long exhale before continuing. "Then, at the Battle of Hogwarts, I had reunited with my family after an estrangement, and my brother Fred died in my presence. Most recently, I had been reunited this past Saturday with a former girlfriend, Miss Penelope Clearwater, whose murdered took place only days ago."
He looked down, crossing his legs primly and folding his hands over his knees. "I am not a superstitious man, Mister Nott, but I cannot ignore the pattern. Perhaps I was afflicted sometime prior to Mr. Crouch's death, during the Tri-Wizard tournament, or perhaps during the scuffle with Death Eaters during the Quidditch World Cup that summer. I unfortunately have no other information."
