Line 25:
In ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]'', Percy is shown to be behaving furtively (perhaps a [[red herring (plot device)|red herring]] with which to lead the reader to suspect he is responsible for the opening of the Chamber). He secretly has a [[girlfriend]] -- [[Minor Ravenclaws#Penelope Clearwater|Penelope Clearwater]] (a [[Hogwarts Houses#Ravenclaw|Ravenclaw]]). Ginny discovers this before the other characters and it is through her that Harry and others find out.
In ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'', he reached his final year at [[Hogwarts]] and is made [[Head Boy]]. He finished school in [[June]] of [[Dates in Harry Potter|1994]] at the age of seventeen, and began working for the [[Ministry of Magic]] under [[Barty Crouch|Mr. Crouch]], the Head the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Percy looked up to Mr. Crouch as something of an idol in ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]''), but Crouch never seemed to remember Percy's correct last name, and called him ''Weatherby'' instead. He takes Crouch's place as judge in the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament, and is very composed and professional until Ron seems to be in danger (like Harry he has taken the time-limit warning literally). He does however give Harry high marks for showing "strong moral fiber". He was also supposed to be a judge for the final task, but is unavailable to attend due to a schedule conflict (he is facing an Inquiry regarding Crouch's long absence).
In ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', Percy was promoted to the status of Junior Assistant to the Minister of Magic by the Minister himself ([[Cornelius Fudge]]); this prompted a personal and political dispute with his father ([[Arthur Weasley]]), which resulted in Percy’s subsequent alienation from his family. Christmas gifts sent to him were returned.
