Tayla, you'll need to cite some canon of Percy
attacking his family when he first gets his job at
the Ministry, because as far as I can remember, it
didn't happen. 


Tayla :
"I am sorry that I was unable to see more of you
over the summer. "( quotes Percy's letter to Ron in OOP. See 
upthread) 
 
SNIP
 
Rebecca:
That's not when  he first gets his job with the
ministry, that's when he gets his promotion.

Let me see if I can help Tayla out a little bit. :)

"Well, Father feels he's got to make up for his mistake at the 
match, doesn't he?" said Percy. 'If truth be told, he was a tad 
unwise to make a public statement without clearing it with his head 
of department first--"
- GoF, p.152, paperback.

This attack is not as obnoxious as Percy's OOP letter, but slowly 
but surely Percy is getting there, IMO.


Oh, I just want to say again, although it is more in responce to 
earlier posts in this thread - twins are not, not the only ones who 
have problem with Percy. They prank him the most, that is true and 
their pranks are not merciful sometimes, but other Weasleys lose 
their patience with Percy too quite often and not always in a  
gentle way.

"That woman's got it in for the Ministry of Magic!" said Percy 
furiously. "Last weeks he was ssaying we're wasting our time 
quibbling about cauldron thickness, when we should be stamping our 
vampires! As if it wasn't specifically stated in paragraph twelve of 
the Guidelines for the treatment of non-wizard part-humans---
"Do us a favor, Perce," said Bill , yawning, "and shut up." - GoF, 
p.147, paperback.

Bill seems to me to be the kind of guy who does not often tells 
other people to shut up. It seems that Percy got to him too. 

What also seems interesting to me is that Percy goes off at Rita 
when she attacks the minsitry, but the moment he learns that his 
father is mentioned he changes his tune and attacks his father's 
doings.

Just my opinion,
