Among those applying for post of Minister of Magic is Junior Assistant to the Minister, Percy Weasly. Weasly, who received the post a year after graduating from Hogwarts, when asked why he chose to run for Minister of Magic, replied, "I chose to run because I feel I can make a lot of changes in the Ministry as Minister, especially in Law Enforcement." When asked about his support of Cornelius Fudge and his insistence that You-Know-Who was not back, all he could say was, "It is important to me and my career to listen to and follow what the Minister says." Indeed, as your Daily Prophet reporter can reveal, Weasly was in support of the Minister's decision regarding Undersecretary to the Minister Dolores Umbridge's appointment to the post of Hogwarts High Inquisitor, saying that she was "providing the Minister with on-the-ground feedback about what's really happening at Hogwarts." Feedback that is biased, because the Ministry did not believe the truth about You-Know-Who's return, as told by Albus Dumbledore and the Boy-Who-Lived, Harry Potter. When that matter was brought up, Weasly said, "Looking back on that decision, it was a mistake to think that Dumbledore and Potter were lying, but at the same time, given the Minister's feelings on the matter, he was doing what he thought best." With comments like this, readers may ask if Weasly is the right person for the job, as he sounds more like a follower than a leader.
