I totally agree, I can see Percy moving up, in fact I'm hoping that Arthur 
Weasley moves up as well. Both could do worlds of good if given the chance.

Obviously the DE faction within the MoM would try to block him getting
advancement (his family connection would count against him) but it would
also be an interesting test of the strengths of the various factions in the
MoM.

are an old pure-bred family.
