Cauldrons? Cauldrons, yes. Lots to say about Cauldrons. Lots to say indeed...



Name: Percy Ignatius Weasley
House: Gryffindor
Year: Graduated, now works at the Ministry as a member of Fudge's staff

Appearance:

Percy is one of the lanky Weasleys like Ron, i.e. he's tall and thin. He's also (of course) got the trademark Weasley flaming red hair. He is, however, the only Weasley to wear glasses (these are horn-rimmed).

Personality:

Work-obsessed and extremely committed (it'd be fair to say overly so) to moving up the career ladder, Percy is easily angered when he's questioned about whether what he is doing is right or not. The way he sees it, it's his way or the highway, and other people must accept that, even his family, whom he now alienates because they dared to question Fudge's motives for giving him a job. He's extremely proud, and hates the idea that it would be his name rather than his individual merit that earned him his much-sought-after boost up the ladder at the Ministry.

However, Percy was sorted into Gryffindor for a reason. He's extremely brave and strong-willed, and is so loyal that he'll fight for what he believes in until the end, even if it means pushing away people like his family, who still love him despite what he's done. He's also extremely responsible, level-headed and good in a crisis, and would do anything for his lovely girlfriend, Penelope Clearwater.

At the moment, he's suffering a crisis of conscience-- he's starting to think that his family was right, and that maybe Fudge is just using him after all, but he's too proud and embarrassed because of what he's done to admit it to them.

However, soon enough, he may find himself doing just that.

History:

He's the third son of Arthur and Molly Weasley, making him a Pureblood wizard. Although the Weasleys aren't and have never been very rich, Percy had an excellent childhood growing up at The Burrow (although Fred and George's pranks were the bane of his existence). He suffered much teasing from his brothers in the past for being stuck-up and uptight and, although it annoyed him, he tried not to let it get to him too much.

He was made Prefect in Fifth Year and Head Boy in Seventh, and worked in the Department of International Cooperation for a while before accepting his new position as a member of Fudge's personal team.

Despite being at present estranged from his family, he does love and miss them very much, but his pride keeps him from admitting what he now acknowledges was the biggest mistake of his life.



See! See, I told you! Lots to say about Cauldrons! Hah!
