I only ment to imply that I am resilient to their will, that I have made up my mind about blood loyalty and the not and that you should not trouble yourself to worry that I may alter. And yes, the notion that my candid feelings may become public knowledge is a bit daunting.
What do you think I have been doing?! I do everything and more, mixing up locations for hearings, altering and rescheduling meetings. I have been more underhanded than you can imagine, sloughing off the ultimate blame to their own inept Death Eaters whenever possible. I have been cautious at my errors, and been apologetic when identified; it is only my association with the Ministry that has shielded me from any action. And Penny, I do realize that is a short lived affiliation I am certain he is involved, and has been turned to the enemy's cause but I shall not tell you that, for your safety.
I..I am not sure that I am such a feather in their cap, so to speak. I have not put myself against Ron! I...I know I did falter in my attempts to assist him at first; they were misguided actions that I quickly realized would have been to his peril. And I am happy to say that he did not listen to my none too sagest advice, the smart lad.
I thank you for your candid affection and care. Please, write me soon. I fear that your words are the very spark to light my otherwise dreary days.
Yours, Percy.
P.S.
You do realize that when I spoke of you being full, I was in fact, joking? I worry that you are still wounded by my insensitive words.
