#can media stop treating booksmart and academics being bad?

[percydarling]

You know one thing I wanted to touch upon is how among all Weasleys and yes ALL of them, Percy Weasley is the academic kid and him speicifically being singled out hurts.

Oh you can argue Bill is smart and bla blah whatever, he's cool sooo.

But Percy?

He likes writing reports and being in charge. He likes to talk and is passionate about stuff other ppl find boring. He's stubborn and prideful and has a desk job and is unathletic.

AND I CAN RELATE TO THAT.

Like yes maybe not all, I'm still anxious and hate public speaking and socialising but I am similar to Percy in a way.

So when JK decided to make him the 'Bad Weasley' it hurts me because I saw me in him. I really did.

And also the lost potential?

Having someone be intelligent is treated as a damn sin in the HP books! Hermione is excluded because of it and is also the only exception because everyone else who is smart is treated like f*cking shit in the books!

(AND NO dumbledore is not smart, screw him)

Percy, Cho, Cedric, Padma all these characters, one thing I can say they have in common is their intelligence and book smart ( doubtful ab Cedric but whatever)

And Percy had so much potential to be someone in the war who did the "actual" saving, no maybe not fight physically with Deatheaters but instead save the Muggleborns from being unjustly killed for existing.

Fight Deatheaters or Save Innocents? Which is more important- you decide.

AND IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO INCORPORATE PERCY DOING THIS! There's already this scene of the trio in the Ministry in the 7th book, just add something like Percy giving one of the disguised 3 some document of Muggleborns, it would make Ron re-think what he thought of his brother, HELL it would make book 7 so much more memorable and suprise the audience

BUTTTT NOOOOOOO, Hp books just want to drill the same point -

Academia bad, Sport and stupid fighting good
