Dear Fred, From Percy

Dear Fred,

I am so, so sorry. For everything. And I know nothing can fix what I did to you and the rest of the family. Especially you. And knowing I can't ever make it up to you is the worst thing. Even though you forgave me I don't feel like it's fixed. You forgave me, but then you… you…

I can't even write it. Bloody hell. Every single day I have to live with the sound of your last words echoing around my head, the look on your face as it happened, and the knowledge that things could've been different. I can't even look at George anymore. I know if I do I'll just see this flaming accusation burning from his eyes. And it'll have every right to be there. 

I'm not staying at the burrow. I can't. But I guess I'm writing to you because I don't know what else to do.

I found my old Head Boy's badge in a drawer the other day. I sat for an hour trying to change it so it said "Pinhead", but I couldn't do it. I don't know how you two were so good at that kind of thing. "Big Head Boy". That was a good one, too. To be honest, considering the size my head was, I'm surprised it fit up Fudge's arse. There, I told another joke! And you're not here to celebrate with me. I also insulted the Minister! Ex-Minister, I suppose, but the point still stands; a lot has changed. Not all for the better. Voldemort is gone, and I am happy for that, but so are you. I just have to pray that is worth it. Though I do not see how it ever could be. We have all lost a brother, or son, or a friend, a brilliant young inventor. George has lost half of who he is.

Are you happy up there, Freddy? That's all I need to know. You need to be happy, otherwise I don't know if I can ever work through this… this pain in my chest every time I hear a joke, or pass your shop, or Mum cooks your favourite meal without realising. Although she probably does realise. Too late, maybe.

I miss you, little brother. More than my past actions could ever have suggested I would.

Your ever-loving brother,

Percy
