The thing is, we've talked to Percy. About what happened in Carrow's classroom. He's been pretty wrecked about the whole thing, so he hasn't been so much nose-in-the-air as he usually is with us and, dunno, guess we caught him at a weak moment late at night the other night after practically everyone else had gone to bed. And so he opened up about it more than he usually does with us.
Ron, did you ever know what really happened, the summer before last when Dad caught him doing something, and he disappeared for a night, and Mum and Dad wouldn't let on at all what happened?
Well, he finally told us. Dad caught him trying to crucio a garden gnome and just about went spare over it.
When Percy got back the next day, he and Dad hashed all out, and it ended up with Dad making Percy swear he'd never try doing crucio again. That's why he's never done it this year, even though he's got the right to do it, as Head Boy. We were wondering why, and that's it: he promised Dad.
But seems that Percy never made any promise about 'Imperio.' Not that we're exactly fussing that he did. Guess he had to.
Percy said that Dad told him, that using those curses--crucio, imperio and avada kedrava--they change you. Don't know what that means, exactly, except Percy said Dad was right. But he wouldn't explain any further than that.
So we don't know. Guess Terry's got the right to decide for himself, if he's willing to do whatever-it-takes to get rid of that bastard. Even if it means doing one of those curses.
The thing is, we just don't know what it'll mean for him having to live with it afterwards. Live with himself.
Whatever Percy's learned about it, he's keeping it to himself. But from the looks of it, it's pretty bad. He looks like he's on the verge of spewing at the mere thought of it, and it's as if he's aged about ten years. And not in a good way.
