alt_charlieRight, realised I hadn't updated you on us all talking over the past few days about what we could do about Percy. We went over and over and over it, and everyone tried as hard as they could to come up with something we could do to keep him from getting killed, and we just couldn't, any more than we could come up with a way to get him out of Malfoy's clutches before.
We thought about Saltash, but Percy wouldn't want to stay there, he'd tell everyone once he escaped, and we couldn't risk giving him the secret. We thought of a regular safehouse, but look what happened with Ridley. We even thought of trying to get some of our more Slytherin members to come up with some brilliant scheme that Percy could go through with to get more prestige, and to work out some way to save himself, but of course there's the problem of getting him to listen, and it's not as if he's been all that eager to do much listening.
Eventually we all decided -- pretty reluctantly -- that it wasn't fair for us to ask the Order to put loads of time and effort into saving Percy from the consequences of his own decisions.
Mind you, Mum's not happy about it. (Nor was she happy at overhearing Rachel and Ron talking about his Auror internship, I don't think it had really sunk in for her what he was having to do, but that's another story. It wasn't a big blowup, just a little awkward for a while.) So I'd step a bit cautiously with her for a while.
Bill, am I missing anything?
