Tonks:

Hummmm...  Percy is a scribe... and his girlfriend is Penelope???  
Are you listening fellow detectives?  Do you know that the only 
person that can look at the ancient book that tells you how to make 
the SS other than a Jewish priest is a SCRIBE??  And Flamel's wife's 
name was close to Penelope. Parnella or something like that.  Ok 
folks... do you think Percy is looking for something?  Maybe like an 
*old book*... like the one on the cover of the HBP book??  Hummmm????
