Paula: 
> This IS interesting, smaragdina,  but inspite of searching, can't 
find this reference.  In which context did this happen?  Sounds very 
reasonable though since JKR had told us that COS is loaded with clues 
and that she almost gave something away in the book.

Geoff:
It's when Harry and Ron are disguised as Crabbe and Goyle and have 
met Draco.

They are accosted by Percy who, as a Prefect, is on patrol duty.

"Malfoy glanced witheringly at Percy.
1And what're you doing down here, Weasley?' he sneered.
Percy looked outraged.
'You want to show a bit more respect to a school Prefect!' he 
said. 'I don't like your attitude!'
Malfoy sneered and motioned Harry and Ron to follow him. Harry almost 
said something apologetic to Percy but caught himself just in time. 
He and Ron hurried after Malfoy who said as they turned into the next 
passage, 'That Peter Weasley ='
'Percy,' Ron corrected hin automatically.
'Whatever,' said Malfoy......"
