This all changed, however, when Percy graduated from Hogwarts and joined the Ministry Of Magic under Cornelius Fudge and soon became pessimistic, arrogant, and even somewhat abusive. He abandoned his family and lost touch with any of his family or friends and instead took a liking to Cornelius Fudge and Dolores Umbridge. When Fudge declared that Voldemort didn't return, he was the right-hand man to him and was supporting him and Umbridge.
After Umbridge was exposed and Cornelius was overthrown and worked under Rufus Scrimgeour, but his shame prevented him from apologizing to his family. During The Final Battle at Hogwarts, Percy apologized to his family for his previous selfish actions he joins in defending the school and jokes with Fred Weasley before a death eater explodes a wall killing Fred. He returns to his former personality and avenges his late brother.
