Percy and the Dark Side

Trina, you said it perfectly.  That's exactly what I was going for!  
Thanks!
 
I think at first Percy's going to side with Fudge.  His attitudes and 
behavior have just set him up to do that.  However, I really think 
that when push comes to shove, Percy will stand up with the rest of 
them...it'll just take him a bit longer.  I'm sure there's going to 
be  a lot of room for missing scenes.  With everything written from 
Harry's viewpoint, we'll probably miss out on what could be some very 
good scenes with Percy and him questioning who he is.

(BTW...I'm changing my email address...it's now alw at wilsonllp.com  
We've got a couple Amy's floating around all ready, so I thought I'd 
give everyone a heads up)
