Harrassing snitches? We like it! Or maybe even a snitch that carries a miniature Beater bat or something. We'll play with this idea a bit.
(You still haven't told us: who are the new Gryffindor Beaters?)
As for Mum, she's worried about what Percy might do if he really breaks with the family, if he ever picks up any hint about the Order. If he still cares about us, he might think twice about reporting us.
If he doesn't consider himself a Weasley anymore...well. That makes things really dangerous for us, yeah?
We think she's also feeling guilty because of Dad. She thinks Dad would have never given up on Percy. But honestly, we think this would have really tested his patience to the limit. Percy was scolding Mum--there's no other word for it, really. Fred told him to show some respect, because she's our Mum. And know what he said?!
He said it would help if she acted like she deserved respect.
Plonker.
Charlie said he'd try reaching out to him--oh, yeah, we asked him to come to the Burrow because Mum was in such a state. Anyway, Charlie's gonna try. Not because Percy deserves a second chance, the prat, but because, well, we're all worried about how far he'll slide if he's firmly in Lucius Malfoy's camp.
(And no, Mum didn't burn the bacon, but that was only because she didn't cook any this morning. She burned the sausage instead.)
