Yeah, I have lunch with him at least once a week, usually. And I see him and Penny on Sunday evenings, of course, when we all come to the Burrow for dinner.
It's--difficult. I mean, he's family, and he always will be. But it's almost as if he's stretching the ties of family as thin as he can, just short of making them snap so that he's nothing but a stranger.
He still idolises Malfoy. It worried Dad, and it drives Mum mad. She has the worst time hiding how much she hates hearing him going on and on: Mr Malfoy always says, Mr Malfoy firmly believes,as I was telling Mr Malfoy...
Despite working for his idol, I don't think Percy's entirely happy. Malfoy is certainly treating him like a house elf, for one thing, and I'm seeing signs of stress. Percy's also hinted that his budget isn't quite making ends meet. I think being Lucius' assistant makes him aspire to something his salary can't quite match.
You can try writing to him, sure. I don't know if he'll have much interest in journal chess--he's turned me down the last three times I suggested a game--but maybe he'll open up with you about some things he won't discuss with me.
