Percy and Molly Weasley Argue Over Arthur's Role in the Ministry

Percy Weasley blames Arthur Weasley for making the Ministry look bad after the Quidditch World Cup incident, suggesting that Arthur was unwise to make a public statement without proper clearance. Molly angrily defends her husband, while Bill points out that Rita Skeeter would have found a way to criticize the Ministry regardless. The family's frustration with Skeeter's reporting and Percy's self-righteous attitude causes further tension.
