You are right that Percy is in his seventh year in POA. I believe it
says so when Harry gets the newspaper clipping with his birthday present
from Ron.

However, there is a larger gap than 2 years between Percy and Charlie. In
the first book it says that Gryffindor hasn't won the Quidditch Cup in
seven years and also that they hadn't won since Charlie left school. This
would mean that Charlie left school before Percy even started. So the
gap must be somewhere around 8 years.
