Broken down angel by Perri Smith

Fandom:Harry Potter
Title:Broken down Angel
Author's Website:Seanachais.
Rating:PG-13 Angst


Why this must be read: In book 5 of Harry Potter (The Order of the Phoneix), Percy Weasley has chosen to virtually disown his family to promote his new job at the Ministry of Magic. Not enough was done in the book (IMO) to explain this, Percy's sudden turning against his family.
Broken down angel, written in Percy's point of view, doesn't try to apologize away Percy's behavior. Rather, it attempts to explain it.

It wasn't supposed to be like this -- that seems to be the mantra of your life to date.

Hey. Thanks for this very interesting rec. I enjoyed getting some insight into Percy's psyche.

Could I just ask that you put the OoTP spoiler inside cut tags? Just in the interest of not having anyone yelling to high heavens that we 'spoiled' them. Thanks so much. :)

And while you're at it, can you just include a rating in the title? I don't know, PG-13, maybe?
