During school, Percy shared a dorm with Oliver Wood, his closest friend at Hogwarts; Terrence Hudson and Alfred Johnson. Percy was actually fairly average in his subjects, something that stressed him to no end, which he made up for by studying maniacally. In school, Percy was picked on mostly by his twin brothers, becoming the testing ground for new pranks and bearing the brunt of their name calling. Although Percy had informed his parents of the twins' behaviour, they brushed it off as "brotherly antics"; Percy, however, regarded it as bullying. He then basically pretended that he was not part of the family and spent much of his holidays with Audrey and her family. Back at school, Percy's studying paid off as he was made Gryffindor Prefect in his fifth year and Head Boy two years later.
