Thanks. I thought it would be tons of fun to have him in charge. LOL I think I'm becoming addicted to surprise characters because this is the second or third one I've done. And you're right, I can easily see an AU where they might get together as while they have their differences, they do have a lot in common.

Thanks. I thought it would be interesting to see another side of Percy. I figure he can't go through life as a prat. Well, he could, but that would have been no fun for me. I figure that the point would come when he would see that the Ministry isn't all powerful. And I'm glad you liked that ending. That was exactly how I wanted folks to feel about it. :D

Hehehe! Wasn't that a shocker? I really had fun with that idea. I did figure that Percy would eventually catch on that his family was not idiots. It's so much more fun to do out of left field ideas like this than to take the same old, same old. It's always the quiet ones, have to watch out for them. LOL

I'm glad you enjoyed this one enough to ask for more, but I think it will end off here. There's a part of me that really loves those, 'looks like a happy ending, but lets leave something to the imagination.' Though there may be some sort of future fic I do at some point with the two of them. I do find it an interesting and plausible pairing. :D

Thanks. I think that was part of the fun of this story. What do we know about him? Very little other than he's highly motivated and his teenage/young adult self was embarrassed by his family, but that's very common. I thought it would be interesting to explore him realizing that perhaps his family was on the right track. Plus I like using surprise characters in these challenges. It's a fun little twist. :D
