Order Only: Percy
It is indeed true. Percy is now Lucius Malfoy's new personal assistant/clerk.
Molly had managed to calm down enough by the time Percy came home for supper that I think we were successful in keeping our true opinions from him about his new post. At least he seemed blissfully unaware as he told us about it.
I don't think we'll be able to regard this as a new pipeline of information in any way. Lucius Malfoy sacked his former clerk for talking out of turn about news he had learned as a function of his duties. Apparently his retribution went beyond merely forcing him to turn in his keys and ushering him from the office. In fact, Percy was offered a bonus if he managed to prevent the man from flooing to St Mungo's for his injuries. This, of course, made a deep impression on Percy.
On the other hand, I fear that if Lucius Malfoy's influence on Percy continues to grow, this may mean an increased security risk for Molly and me.
I can only hope that we won't have cause to rue the day this ever came to pass. Not just Molly and me, but Percy as well.
