I think that the Weasley's should forgive him, after all he IS family. And he hasn't murdered anyone...but he will need to do some serious grovelling.

As for me, I'd curse the prat. Let him suffer for a few months thinking he will never be forgiven, if he's still apologising after that...well then I would forgive!

I have a problem with holding grudges I probably would not forgive him even if he apologized. What he did (turning his back on family) is not something that I think a person should even consider let alone do. He does not deserve forgiveness.

aha, id sicka monster on him for all the misery he has caused, or i might just throw him in a pit and leave him there that would be fun too, lol , but maybe i could get a dragon from charlie......

i would definatly give him the silent treatment...i mean look at how horrible he treated his family, even after he realized he was wrong.

i know family is supposed is always supposed to love and forgive you, but if percy was my brother, i would go nuts and try to distance myself from him as much as possible.

I would definately hafta curse Percy, probaly with an unforgivable (the same one used on Neville's parents) I mean look how he has treated his family? He's such a jerk for the way that he has done them. So the most suiting thing for him would be to drive him nuts and cart him off to St Mungo's!

Percy is the most pompous, most stuck up his own backside character ever he deserves to do battle with both a blast ended skrewt and a horntail. At the same time. with only a wet fish to protect him

I would forgive Percy.

But in saying that, I think Percy's actions are justified in the situation that he was in. While he did turn out to be wrong, he was entitled to his opinions. How many of us would be a little annoyed if our parents and family told us that we were just being used to get information and we were stupid? I know I'd probably have a knee-jerk reaction of telling my family something less than nice. We are also well aware that the Weasley's are a stubborn bunch , I imagine that once he'd calmed down he was just not wanting to show that he was a bit hot-headed. Even then, though, its not like Arthur said sorry - Molly was the one to go extend the olive branch, that probably annoyed Percy further.

So, that's my opinion

percy was horrible to his family, and even when he knew he was wrong, he didn't appologize at all. as his parent, i would probably forgive him, but as his sibling, i probably would not. in the 7th book though, i think percy will come back and die for his family in the end.

Silent treatment.

I don't hold grudges, because even when I try to, I'm not successful. However, I'm sure I'll be successful at holding a grudge against Percy! I mean, seriously, he has caused his parents so much worry. And he's also caused his siblings to hate him. I mean, sibs don't usually hate each other for long. It's just the several-days-long-silence-because-he-read-my-diary type of thing. So just the fact that his siblings permanently hate him is saying something!!! I'm going with them.

Even though I love the Weasleys, I totally hate Percy. He was such an .... on the fifth book, and he doesn't deserve a second chance ... but I could bet that Mrs Weasley is gonna forgive him.
As for me, I'd curse him and kick him like... dunno.. 5 or 7 hours

I’m gonna curse him! Yes it’s illegal but the Cruciatus would do wonders on him (kidding)

Seriously though I mean you just don’t turn your back on your family. Not only are they your friends, but they are your biggest supporters. Also, (trying not to be greedy) what about when your b-day comes round and you have a present from the Minister? A nice hand-knitted sweater would be ideal

i would not forgive him even if he did apologize but really what are the odds that he would apologize i might huse the silent treatment on him if i didn't already know it probably wouldn't work on him.

I would forgive Percy if he apologized... but until then I would give him a silence treatment...
He's acting like a teenager... He wants to be right and won't admit when he is wrong.

Oh, I hate Percy. Little, sneaky, snivelling, little wannabe jerk. I HATE him. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are absolute darlings, you don't turn your back on family and break their hearts.

Ohhhhhh, I hate him.

I really want to read the other posts on here, but once again I decided to veritaserum in my free time and my time is so close to being up. Ok I do not like Percy at all. Never did like him too much. When he started getting mad at the rest of his FAMILY for believing Harry I was furious at him. I was so mad. Then once everybody realised that he really was back, he still didn't appoligise. I would curse him. I don't think I'd sick a monster on him, ok maybe I would. But I would probably save himf rom the monste rin the end. It'd take alot for me to forgive him, wayyyy more then an appoligy so I chose curse him. I'd put a curse on him where he is forced to do something. Like he's forced to say i'm sorry at random moments throughout the day at least 50 times. He'd go on his knees and beg. If such a curse existed and I were a witch...which i am sadly not...Percy would be begging for forgiveness right now.

i'd definately forgive him...if he apologizes... and if he doesn't...i'll hex him several times...and then forgive...

if i were a weasley....i would probably act really cold towards percy for the rest of our natural lives.....but i would probably still forguve him (kinda) if he at least apologized....but he has to mean it.....

I would forgive Percy if he apologized. But he had to apologize a lot and in the end, I would forgive him. He has always been a friend, sort of. So it's really mean not to give him an other chance if he asked for it. And I never stay angry with someone for a long time, so eventually, I'd forgive him.

forgive Percy if he apologized. he was wrong, but when he admit this, why would i be any longer mad at him?

I'd be angry, but eventually I would forgive him - if he was my brother I would love him unconditionally.

If he apologizes, then there is a big chance that I would forgive him. I think he was just blinded by his ambition to become an important Ministry worker. Because, well, Fudge really was the one who didn't believe that Voldemort's back, and Percy was ever loyal to whoever is head of the MoM so he believed Fudge rather than Harry. I don't know, but that's just me.

I really do think that Percy was very irresponsible and he's a total jerk and a selfish man! I wouldn't forgive him, even if he apologies to his family and friends! He has to prove that he's really sorry, because you can't just say "Oh, I'm sorry", and that's all! He caused a lot of trouble and sadness to his family, destroyed Molly by leaving home, and making Arthur to be ashamed of himself by going to the Ministry and not even say "Hi!" to his own father! Dah... what a spoiled baby!

Oh yeah, he was some nasty piece of work, but again, he came back and he fought his way into the others' hearts. Anyway, if his family forgave him, I guess I would forgive him too, but only after a proper apology! Anyway, I would have to see him face to face fighting the Death Eaters only to convince myself that he's changed and that he actually means his apology.

I forgave him!
It's not easy to grow up in a big, poor family...
Percy wanted something more, but he came back in the end, and that's what matters!
He wasn't Gryffindor for no reason

I dont know. he is such a jerk and very selfish. He said unforgivable things at his dad and this is a guy who was given most attention by both his parents always. It might even be reasonable if any other Weasley behaved in such a manner cos they all had to listen how well Percy was all the time. But then again he did come around and fought his heart out for the right cause eventually. If he hadnt i guess it would be justified to hate him forever. Cos it takes more courage and bravery to admit to the wrong and come back. And he did that.

EVEN if his kind parents forgave him i would never forgive that idiotic self centered person i would use crucio on him and make him pay because good old sirius also said he wouldn't forgive him and no would i..i detest him

I think if his apology is true and heartfelt, that Percy should be forgiven. I think he is just one of those people who loves attention and gets caught up into what ever new fad pops up. I think deep down he never truly hated his family.

I never liked Percy. He's so selfish and stuff, but after a while I began to feel bad for him. I mean, I was really annoyed how he treated his family. Boy did I get angry. But then, he was always made fun of by his brothers. I guess he just wanted attention and to be high up. I think him changing for the worst, was just because he was so angry about being poor. I was so happy when he came back at the end. I had no doubts that he would. I forgave him immediately.
