It would cause a great deal of sadness. Molly Weasley, being a very family - oriented mother, would be heartbroken. She might constantly worry about Percy's well - being and feel like she failed as a mother. The younger Weasley siblings would also be affected. Ron, for instance, might feel confused and a bit betrayed, as Percy has always been a role model to some extent.
Emotionally, the family would have to deal with a lot of mixed feelings. There would be anger at first, especially from those who think Percy is being selfish. But over time, they would also miss him. George and Fred might make jokes about it to hide their pain, but deep down they would be hoping for Percy's return. Ginny might be more determined to prove that the family is strong without Percy, while still secretly wishing he'd come back.
It would be a huge blow to the Weasley family. They would be filled with grief and guilt, especially if they had any unresolved issues with Percy before his death. For example, if they had been on bad terms due to Percy's past actions at the Ministry. His death might make them more determined to fight against the dark forces, seeing it as a way to avenge Percy.
In fanfiction, Percy's betrayal can have a far - reaching impact on his family. For example, it can make the family more cautious about trusting each other. His younger siblings might grow up with a sense of loss and confusion about why he did it. The family dynamics change completely. There could be arguments and estrangement. It might also lead to some family members trying to reach out to him while others are too angry to even consider it. And his betrayal can also be a source of gossip and speculation within the wizarding community they live in, which adds more pressure on the family.
One possible reason could be family pressure. In the Weasley family, there are high expectations and a lot of chaos. Percy might feel suffocated and decide to run away to find his own path. Maybe he's tired of always being in the shadow of his more popular siblings and wants to prove himself on his own terms.
One reason could be his ambition clashing with his family values. Percy is often very career - driven in the original story. Maybe in the fanfiction, his pursuit of success at the Ministry of Magic leads him to make decisions that isolate him from his family, ultimately causing him to run away. For example, he might be given an important assignment that goes against the Weasley family's stance on certain magical politics.
It could make them realize how much they've taken her for granted. They might have been so focused on their gifts and their own roles that they didn't notice Mirabel's pain.
He could run away to a far - off wizarding village. There are many small, secluded villages in the wizarding world that are not well - known. For example, a place like Hogsmeade but much more remote, where he can start anew and not be bothered by his past or family.
It would be a huge loss. The Weasley family is well - known and loved. Their deaths would cause great grief among their friends and allies. It might also lead to a decrease in morale among the good wizards.
Percy would likely become more empathetic. Harry's difficult past could open Percy's eyes to the hardships others face. He'd probably become less rigid about rules as he realizes Harry needs more than just strictures.
Percy's character development can be shown through his relationships within the family. For instance, his interactions with his younger siblings. If he starts mentoring one of them, like helping Ron with his schoolwork or career plans at the Ministry, it would show his growth from being self - centered to more family - oriented.
In some fanfictions, Percy's betrayal might be seen as justifiable. He was always a bit of an outsider in his family, being more concerned with rules and status. Maybe he felt misunderstood and that his family's more unorthodox ways were holding him back. However, his actions still hurt his family deeply.
