Percy knew the Ministry like the back of his hand.
For example, he knew the Ministry was efficient. From personal experience, he knew that they didn't pull people in to be branded on an individual basis. No, they waited until after a certain time frame until they had accumulated enough people on their list to make it worth their while to pay the overtime to the employees who had to be brought in to process the new Suspected Traitors. From what he'd read in the journals, nobody had recently complained or announced about being branded, and so Percy knew the Ministry was due for another round-up, soon.
He knew that the Aurors were usually sent out after midnight, when they assumed their targets would be home, asleep. That way they could catch them disorientated, reducing the risk of resistance and a fight.
He also knew that ever since he walked out of the job that he would be put on a watch list, that being arrested at the protest only bumped his status higher and that he'd been teetering on the edge of being branded for a while.
So when he was awake, unable to go to sleep and sitting on the sofa of his living room area and heard the tell-tale popping sound of people apparating on the other side of his door, faint but still audible in the silence of the night, Percy knew. Opening his journal and after jotting down a quick message to Oliver, he closed his journal and rose to face the door so he could greet his 'uninvited guests' just as they were breaking into his apartment. Startled to see Percy standing there calm and waiting, Percy spoke with a cool voice.
"What took you so long?"
