Percy owes Molly an apology, in fact two - one for slamming the door in her
face, and one for sending back his Xmas present.

With Arthur, I'd have to say that the dishonours are equal - Percy deserves
an apology from Arthur for his accusation, which was not only hurtful but
deeply undiplomatic. Why would Arthur think that Percy's new appointment
would mean he was a likely spy for Fudge against the Order, rather than a
likely spy for the Order in the Minister's office? Not a very high opinion
of his son, really.

But Percy, now that Fudge has been publicly shown to be an incompetent fool
(and he didn't even need to be summoned by Lord Hutton...) has been cast
adrift yet again. When Fudge "decides he wants to spend more time with his
family" (assuming that's the phrase they use in the WW!), will his successor
_want_ Percy as as assistant?

Maybe it's time for Percy to write that long-overdue letter to Penny
Clearwater and get some sensible advice about how to mend his fences...

Cheers
