Quite agree with you, except for one thing, Do you think that Fudge 
will remain Minister of Magic? And if he doesn't who do you think 
would want that post, Maybe someone like Mr Crouch, someone that is 
Percy! And given the fact that he is a Weasley he would be well 
liked by most of the WW. Regardless of his falling out with his 
parents. Percy to me should have been a slytherin but choose to be 
in Gryffindor because of his family. Weasley's are braver then most, 
as we can see from Ron with the Spiders. He wished they were 
butterflies but instead they were Spiders.
