Chapter 15 Percy breaks the defense

"Okay, this is basically the work arrangement for the magazine this semester. Qiu Zhang, you will be responsible for posting the recorded memories on the wall later."

Clark provides the final wrap-up for tonight's work session.

"In general, the good development of the magazine in the past semester is inseparable from everyone's efforts. This year, I believe that everyone can run the magazine better, so let's contribute to this cause together!"

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

George took the lead in applauding, and Fred was so funny that he used his wand to conjure some colorful confetti.

"Okay, I won't waste any more of your time. Everyone, please go back and rest early. The meeting is over."

Clark smiled and stood up, "By the way, Percy, please stay here for a moment. I have something else I want to talk to you about."

Ginny and others happily packed up their things, stood up and filed away.

"Hermione, you and Neville wait outside for a while."

Hearing Clark's words, Hermione immediately understood what he meant and took Neville out very sensibly. As a result, Clark and Percy Weasley were the only two people left in the office.

"Clark..." Percy opened his mouth to speak, but Clark spoke first.

"I'm very busy with work lately. As the president of the male student union, I am responsible for the management of the entire school's students. This is not an easy task."

This sentence opened Percy's chat box, and he began to spit out his bitterness to Clark.

What kind of competitive relationship among the four houses? After he and Penello were elected, Slytherin's prefects were acting in a secret way, and some naughty little wizards refused to change despite repeated admonitions.

Even his two younger brothers, George and Fred, often caused him trouble and gave him endless headaches.

After all, he is his younger brother. Even though he is usually nagging and criticizing, if something really happened, he would still cover it up.

Clark listened to Percy's complaints and nodded from time to time, acting as a perfect listener.

After he had finished speaking, Clark said: "As long as it is something, nothing is easy, so it is normal that the job of student union president is difficult to carry out. Besides, you have just started and the work has just been handed over. , once things are sorted out, the situation will be much better.”

"Yes!" Percy sighed. On the first day of school, he was already very busy with student union matters.

In this way, his younger brothers and some friends didn't understand him very well, thinking that he had become arrogant and arrogant because he became the president of the student union.

But how can they understand their own pain? He has been walking on thin ice along the way and has endured so much pressure.

At this time, Clark comforted Percy again.

"Actually, think about it from another perspective, how much pressure you are under now will be how much reward you will have in the future. Difficulties and opportunities always coexist.

Not to mention the improvement and gains in management skills you have gained during this process, if you do well in this position, you will be able to add a very significant addition to your resume after graduation.

This will be of great help if you want to enter the Ministry of Magic's political career. At least the starting point must be higher than others. "

Clark's words really spoke to Percy's heart, and the somewhat depressed look on his face finally dissipated.

"Hehe, I mainly want to contribute to the students of Hogwarts. I will never engage in politics. Those are just trivial matters." Percy grinned.

"Really? I thought you were ambitious, cousin, and I was going to introduce you to some friends from the Ministry of Magic.

"Clark glanced at Percy.

Now Percy couldn't pretend anymore. At the same time, the resentment in his heart towards Clark who had just dismissed him as editor-in-chief was instantly forgotten by him.

"Clark, this...this..."

"Cousin, do you know? I actually don't think much of you going into politics." Clark said suddenly, making Percy stunned.

"I……"

"You are ambitious, but not ambitious enough; you are a bit smart, but not smart enough." Clark shook his head and sighed.

"You can't disguise yourself perfectly, be courteous and virtuous, and win over people's hearts. But you can't completely abandon the kindness and fetters in your heart, fully devote yourself to the struggle for power, and do whatever it takes.

If you are so vacillating, looking forward and backward, your heart is not ruthless enough, your body is not soft enough, and your methods are not strong enough, how can you possibly dominate the political arena? "

With every word Clark said, Percy's face turned pale, and when he finished his last sentence, Percy's defense was completely broken.

"You are amazing! You are noble! You can say that to me now!

In your heart, you have always looked down on me, right?

Clark, I found that you are just like my father. The hardships in life never seem to fall on you. You can try to criticize me with an attitude of not having anything to do with yourself and being superior.

But have you ever considered my feelings?

Bill and Charlie were incredibly good people, role models that my parents always talked about. George and Fred were obviously very stubborn, but my parents tolerated them so well. Ginny and Ron had nothing to do and were carefree all day long.

And you, Clark, you are amazing. You have family background, status, wealth and appearance. You study so well and are so strong. You are the rising star of the magic world. Then who am I? ah! What am I! "

Tears almost came to Percy's eyes, and his voice got higher and higher.

"I'm just your stepping stone, your backdrop, the object of your laughter and ridicule, aren't I?

Don't think I don't know what you are saying about me behind my back, ah, silly Percy, putting on airs, like a clown, arrogant, face-saving idiot.

But is it wrong to want to live a better life? "

He almost shouted, and even Hermione and Neville outside the room heard the sound.

"How I wish I was born in a normal traditional wizarding family, with a father who has a place in the Ministry of Magic, a mother who puts the focus on herself, and a group of smart and reliable brothers and sisters.

I don't have any of these. I only have old books and old robes used by my two brothers, an owl that can't fly, a chirping ghoul, and a gnome running around the yard.

None of this will help him get ahead at all!

I don't have the courage of Bill, the spontaneity of Charlie, the cleverness of George and Fred, and even Ron, I don't have friends like Harry Potter.

I can only achieve good results through my own hard work. Is this wrong?

I just don’t want to live this kind of life anymore, and I don’t want my children to live this kind of life in the future either.

I can only be sure of one thing, that is, even if others don't understand me, even if I live with resentment in the future, I will not let any of my family members suffer anymore or live in a miserable life.

I will not be a selfish person, I will do my best, because I have experienced all this, I know what it feels like to be poor, and it is uncomfortable..."

Percy's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally his whole body went limp and he collapsed on the floor.

Looking at his cousin who finally vented all the negative emotions in his heart and revealed everything that should be said and shouldn't be said, what can be said and what can't be said, Clark withdrew the spiritual energy that affected him.

Yes, the reason why he was able to break through his defenses and collapse was partly due to Clark's verbal stimulation and [psychic powers].

"Well, tell me what's on your mind. It feels much better." Clark also accompanied Percy and sat down on the ground.

Percy glanced at him, lay back, and said in a low voice, "I've said it out loud, can I still say what's on my mind?"

"Why don't you count it, Percy? In fact, you are just an ordinary person, but you have shouldered too many burdens that are not yours.

Maybe it's because Uncle Arthur can't give you better conditions, or maybe it's because of your past experiences that have made you accustomed to using excessive arrogance to cover up your inner inferiority.

But I always believe that you are still the excellent cousin I remember, and you are still a Gryffindor at heart.

The Sorting Hat can attest to this. "

"Hey, Clark, you are still so eloquent. Is this what you taught me before, 'give me a piece of cake and a slap in the face'?"

Percy chuckled, "Actually, since I was a child, I have always hated my father because of his persistence and his principles. This is of course very good, but sometimes, for the sake of the people you love, you have to do something Sacrifice, make a choice!”

"Uncle Arthur..."

Clark followed Percy's lead and lay on the ground, looking at the ceiling above his head.

He still remembered that when he was a child and stayed at his aunt's house, he and Percy would lie on the same bed like this because the room was crowded.

At that time, Percy was often worried that he didn't sleep well, and he often took good care of him.

“He may not have been successful, but he was definitely a good father, and Aunt Molly was an equally good mother.

In fact, before my father and my uncle passed away, they had already anticipated their ending, so they left a suicide note.

In their suicide note, they had given part of the Prewett family's wealth to Aunt Molly, but she did not ask for it. "

Percy turned to look at Clark beside him, his eyes full of shock, "Why?"

"Because she said that she already has the most precious treasure in the world, which is her family and her children. You are her priceless treasure."

"So," Clark looked at Percy and said word by word: "It's sad that you were born into such a family; but it's also very lucky that you were born into such a family."

"Huh, fool," Percy choked and turned his head, but Clark still saw the tears in his eyes, "You are all complete fools!"

"Woo...Woo...Woo..."

They say that men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet.

Clark looked at Percy who was crying silently there, and suddenly remembered a proverb from his hometown in his previous life, "The first born is rare, the old is spoiled, and the second half is pitiful."

Perhaps no matter in ancient or modern times, at home and abroad, among a group of brothers and sisters, the child in the middle is often less favored by his parents.

Clark just put his hands behind his head and listened quietly to Percy crying.

But he only cried for a while, then wiped away his tears again, adjusted his mood, and stood up.

"Okay, you win. But I don't think you chatted with me for so long just to help me recall my miserable childhood, right?"

Clark also jumped up from the ground.

“Only by constantly savoring the sufferings of the past can one appreciate the sweetness of the present.

Since you want to enter politics, you need people to invest in you. Then I have to do some research on you to determine whether you are suitable for investment, right? "

"Then what's the result of your inspection of me? Is it disappointing to you?" Percy looked at him with red eyes.

Clark nodded, then shook his head.

“As a politician, you are indeed too immature, not good enough, and not cruel enough to be a leader.

However, emphasizing love and justice is not a derogatory term. At least when others support you, you don’t have to worry about being betrayed by you.

Look at Fudge, his level is, I would say, not as good as yours, but he can still hold the position of Chairman of the Ministry of Magic.

It can be seen that outstanding personal ability is not necessarily a necessary condition for a politician. What is most important is whether there is someone to support you. "

"I don't like a man talking up to me from behind!" Percy, who understood the meaning of Clark's words, made a rare joke.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in men."

Clark laughed and cursed, then added:

"Among the Weasley children, you are the only one who has the opportunity to enter politics. The other cousins ​​and cousins ​​all have no ambitions to do so.

But this does not mean that the political resources of the Prewett and Weasley families can only be poured into you.

Just like your father and Uncle Arthur, if he can't help you, we won't help you forcefully.

Therefore, you still need to be strong in blacksmithing. You have to adjust your mentality and prepare for future work. "

Percy had cried and complained. Now when he heard Clark's words, he felt as if a big stone had been lifted from his heart, and he felt much more relaxed.

He nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I'll do whatever you say, no matter what. Maybe I'm not that good, but I have a group of good brothers, and I believe you won't harm me!"

Clark looked into Percy's eyes, and the invisible power of his mind told him that the other person was telling the truth.

"Don't worry, brothers working together can be as powerful as gold. Even George and Fred will support you when it's time to support you. I can guarantee this.

However, your own management and communication problems also need to be corrected in a timely manner, especially when dealing with people, you need to pay more attention to your speech and attitude.

Being the president of the student union this time is a good opportunity for experience. How to unite most students? Even Slytherin fought for it, this is a test of your ability. "

"Um!"

Two pairs of equally slender palms were held together tightly.
