Yes, we've certainly done so with Percy. I think we had started to be a bit more open with Bill and Charlie when they were his age, because it was clear we were on the same page, but with Percy early on, it was evident that he was resistant to the subtleties we try to live by: that everyone is equal. That blood doesn't indicate worth.

To tell the truth, as much as it pains me to say it, I think Percy thinks less of me and values my opinions not at all because of my position with the Ministry, working with Muggles, I mean. Frankly, we think he trusts and is open with Bill more than he is with us. Bill and I compare notes a lot during our weekly lunches, and then he does a bit more with the delicate conversations than I do.
