Zacharias couldn't help but laugh to himself as Percy left. He would not start lying now, although it was an amusing thought. Besides, he really didn't need to. It just proved him right that the Ministry was just as misguided as Dumbledore's Army - it was all one big clusterfuck and he wanted to see it come crumbling down. Maybe next time the person in charge might actually get it right.
He wasn't sure why he had expected Percy Weasley to be any different - the man was after all a Weasley and was far too emotionally tied into the whole ordeal. Perhaps he would go right to the source, file a compliant as if it would actually do something, but either way this issue wasn't going away.
