"Just trying to impress the boss" is exactly what he's doing in OoP
also... but Fudge is impressed by different things than Crouch. And,
IMO, sitting in his seat casting sulking, jealous looks at Harry is
not trying to act professionaly. More like childishly.
I think its reasonable from Percy's viewpoint that he tries even
harder to win Fudge's approval in OoP. After all, he's cast off his
family, so the way he sees it, Fudges approval is the only approval
he's going to be getting from now on. And Percy is someone who needs
approval very badly.
