Okay, this is often brought up at a point in favor of
Percy's treachery.  But, in COS, Percy says he is
going to buy a new quill.  But when they find him it
is not in quill shop (assumably the same place that
sold Hermione parchment would be the logical place to
sell quills) but in a junk shop.  He tries to get them
to go away.  I really do believe that he is meeting
Penelope in an out-of-the-way place and then picks up
the book and pretends to be reading when they show up.
 Just as Penelope is responsible for his other strange
behavior in the book, she's responsible for this one
too.

Secondly, regarding what Ron says.  Ron is not usually
right.  When he makes predictions that are right, he's
ususally joking.  When he's serious, he usually
suspects the wrong person.  Ron also has a tendancy to
say/believe bad things about people he doesn't like
(or is angry/ jelous with) without cause:  Snape (post
PS) and Krum are the first to come to mind.
