Application for Percy Ignatius Weasley

Percy Weasley, Harry Potter Series



1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?

I quite like Havarti. It's versatile and tasty, and not ridiculously expensive. Wonderful with a bit of fresh fruit and nice crusty bread.

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?

Execution? That's... not very common, really, and I don't think they fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry. There'd be an awful lot of forms to fill out.

3. What time is it where you are?

It's 5:32 now, but I'm sure it'll be later by the time I've finished.


4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.

You do know that I'm very closely related to quite a few of them, yes? And even without taking that into account, they're a collection of near-suicidal glory hounds. I don't find that very attractive.

Kingsley Shacklebolt is quite fit, though, isn't he?

5. If you are pushing to be in:

A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.

I suppose the only thing I'd be calling at all in such a circumstance is a quick lumos. Then I'd be able to read the labels on the bottles, at least.

B. Gryffindor – Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.

Oh, honestly! What kind of sensationalist nonsense is this? Even Potter isn't mad enough to marry either of them.

C. Ravenclaw – You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.

Oh, Merlin, not paperwork again! Well, clearly you're just important enough to have a lot of things requiring your attention, but not quite important enough to have an assistant to delegate the minor tasks to. Or, you are the assistant being given the minor tasks (and most likely rather a few not-so-minor ones, if my experience is anything to go by). Either way, a methodical approach is key. Focus on each item in front of you, not the entire pile. It's less daunting that way.

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.

Well, judging by your Ravenclaw query, organizational skills are in short supply around here. Since that's a strength of mine, I'd say I could make myself rather useful.

6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe.

Bribery is rather an unusual requirement, isn't it? I mean, there are all sorts of regulations forbidding that sort of thing. But it does seem like my skills are needed here, if only to keep the lot of you from smothering beneath a paperwork avalanche. And I'm willing to help tutor anyone who's having difficulty with his or her studies.

"Ah, who needs regulations? Life's so much more fun without someone breathing down your back, telling you how to live."

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

If everyone thinks like that, you have chaos, and nothing will ever get accomplished.

[manriki-chan.livejournal.com]

I never had to fill in a form to kill someone.

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

Th-that's just murder, then, not a proper sanctioned excecution. I could never be a party to that.

[yoyo-katzchen.livejournal.com]

...I get the feeling I'm going to regret this, but!

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?

[so-strong-sad.livejournal.com]

I've been trying to find out the same thing for a little while now! I once tried counting, but when I got down to lick number two thousand seven hundred eighteen, The Cheat grabbed my lollipop and flushed it down the toilet.

My name is Strong Sad, by the way, although my brother sometimes calls me Gron Sad.

[toujours-sirius.livejournal.com]

I'm rather fond of havarti myself, especially the kind with little pieces of dill in -

Merlin's balls, Percy Weasley? You're Molly and Arthur's son, the one who works in the...

Right.

Erm...Well, at least we agree on Shacklebolt. I'd hit that like a Beater if I ever got half the chance.

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

...wait, aren't you dead?

[so-strong-sad.livejournal.com]

You like to organize things? I do, too! I organize my board games, my art supplies, my calligraphy supplies, my journal supplies, my medical supplies...but not my sock drawer. Because I don't wear socks.

What sort of subjects do you tutor in? This place is supposed to be a school, and I was hoping to learn magic, but so far since I came here, there have been no classes. It reminds me of my brother's made-up school, Crazy-Go-Nuts University.

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

"Crazy-Go-Nuts University"? Sounds about the same as before, then.

It's not so much that I like organizing then, as it is I like to have them organized.

[homsarhomsar.livejournal.com]

DaaaAAAAaaaAAAAaaaAAAA! It's a good time for my great taste....

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

If your taste is as great as you say, why can't you let people decide for themselves?

[gutentaghopclop.livejournal.com]

Do you like to sing und dance, Herr Veaseling?

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid not. I'm not good at either.

[ninth-doctor.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's a problem around here with organization and paperwork...seeing how the classes aren't held that often. Gee, sounds like someone thinks a little highly of himself...

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

The question did ask about paperwork.

[profmoony.livejournal.com]

*sourly* Ah, Mr. Weasley. I'm rather inclined to Sort you... elsewhere, but out of respect for your parents a quality in which you seem to be lacking, I shall vote you into Gryffindor.

Do give my love to Miss Umbridge.

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

This lack of respect you percieve is, I assure you, mutual, and did not originate with me.


It will be the first such sentiment to be sent her way, I'm sure.

[emilyremains.livejournal.com]

"You seem like a sensible young man," said Emily with a brief smile. "Organizational skills are always needed, especially in a place like this."

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

I do try to be sensible. It's not a trait that garners much appreciation.

[ginevram.livejournal.com]

Hullo, Percy. How've you been?

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

Ah. Hello, Ginny. I've been quite busy, really. And you?

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Hullo, Percy.

Screened and Warded for the Youngest Weasleys

[ginevram.livejournal.com]

Ron, why do you think Percy's shown up all the sudden? You haven't had any owls from him lately, have you? Do you think the Ministry's trying to take over the school again?

[narcissa-always.livejournal.com]

((IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou! He is made of perfection. OMG and he's so smexy.))

*moves close to speak to him, looking him over a moment*

Near-suicidal glory hounds? What a refreshing point of view. So you've come back to school to organize it? *laughs lightly* Do you know what the school has become?

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

I don't think there are enough Galleons in Gringotts to convince me to take on that task.

If the rumors I've been hearing have any factual basis, it's become very interesting indeed.

[estebanmd.livejournal.com]

You do have a point about the need for organisational skills here. Out of curiosity, how would you address it if given a free hand?

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

It seems to me that Hogwarts has always been sadly lacking in administrative staff. This does put rather a strain on the professors to fill that role as well as their own. I can't say I have any experience with the current Headmistress, perhaps she has plans to rememdy that.

[wolfram-jyari.livejournal.com]

Should we tolerate demons, idolize demons, exclude demons, oppress demons, or eradicate demons!?

Choose two of the five!

[keygirl-dawn.livejournal.com]

Dawn was passing by, and she just couldn't help herself. It was so much *fun* to poke this guy!

"I choose 'tolerate' and 'eradicate,' depending on the kind of demon and the circumstances," she chirped in her most perky voice. "Do I get a prize for guessing right?"

[lilypotter60.livejournal.com]

"Weasley, eh?" Lily cocked her head and studied Percy, then grinned and held out her hand. "Related to Ginny and Ron, then? Smashing. I'm Lily. A pleasure to meet you, Percy."

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

*shakes her hand firmly*

I'm their brother... one of their brothers.

Do I... know you? You look a bit familiar.

[wickednessa.livejournal.com]

I'm Nessarose. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Weasley. I liked your answer for Slytherin- it would be quite hard to bartend in the dark, wouldn't it? *giggles* But I don't think that's quite where you belong. Where would you like to be sorted?

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

Gryffindor is something of a tradition in my family ,please put me anywhere else.

[ian-ma1co1m.livejournal.com]

Life isn't nearly as organizable as you seem to think, lad, and I can prove it. Have proven it already, in fact.

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

That doesn't mean you think people should revel in chaos, surely?

[thevandortboy.livejournal.com]

Given your Slytherin answer, I think you'd probably do well in Ravenclaw. Is there any house in particular that you were interested in?

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

I've often been told I'd have been happy in Ravenclaw, actually.

[ermioni.livejournal.com]

Hermione smiled brightly. "Hi Percy, how are you?" she asked politely.

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

I've been well, Hermione. I trust you have as well? I can't say I expected to see you here.

[5000yearold.livejournal.com]

"Hello there. You certainly seem different then the rest of your family."

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

In many ways, it seems.

[going-stag.livejournal.com]

Oi! Are you related to ickle Ronnypoo then are you? And Ginny as well?

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

*trying not to laugh* Does he know you call him that?

[carri3-whit3.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm Carrie. *waves* I could do with a li'l of that tutorin', if you don't mind.

Is there a house you like? 'Cause I couldn't really tell if you liked any better than another from your answers.

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

Certainly, Carrie. It's really more a matter of learning a foundation of proper study habits. That makes any subject less intimidating.

Just not Gryffindor, please.

[notasmackhead.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Right, well, no-one's ever explained what this 'Order of the Phoenix' thing is. "Near-suicidal glory hounds"? Like... wannabe martyrs, or something? Or crowd-surfers?

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

More the first, really.

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

So if you don't find near-suicidal glory hounds attractive. What do you?

[red-ambition.livejournal.com]

For one night, or in someone I'm dating?
