In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']], we learn that Percy's girlfriend, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Penelope Clearwater|Penelope Clearwater]], is also a prefect, albeit in Ravenclaw House.
 
In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron Weasley]] is appointed Prefect for Gryffindor, much to the amazement of everyone; it had been thought that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] would be tipped for that job. Of course, nobody is surprised that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione Granger]] becomes a Prefect as well, and there is equally little amazement at the selection of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco Malfoy]] for Slytherin House. Other prefects appointed at the same time are [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Pansy Parkinson|Pansy Parkinson]] from Slytherin, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ernie Macmillan|Ernie Macmillan]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hannah Abbott|Hannah Abbott]] from Hufflepuff, and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Anthony Goldstein|Anthony Goldstein]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Padma Patil|Padma Patil]] from Ravenclaw.
 
It is mentioned in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 9|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']] that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Remus Lupin|Remus Lupin]] had been a prefect at Hogwarts when he, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius Black]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/James Potter|Harry's father]] had been there. We also see, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lucius Malfoy|Lucius Malfoy]] was a Slytherin Prefect when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Severus Snape]], James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black first arrived at Hogwarts.

Percy has just become a Prefect when we first meet him in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 6|''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'']], so we cannot easily judge what he was like before he became a Prefect. From the reaction later when he became [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Head Boy|Head Boy]], one can extrapolate that he was always pompous and always a little ashamed of his family's lack of ambition; his becoming Prefect is part of the process that ends up with him being estranged from his family by Harry's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|fifth year]].
 
In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 9|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] becomes a prefect, to nobody's surprise. What is a surprise is that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] is passed over in favour of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] for the position. Ron's being made a prefect threatens to destroy the friendship between him and Harry, as Harry shares the general feeling that the position '''ought''' to have gone to Harry; in the end, though, Harry resolves to make the best of it, and their friendship goes on pretty much as before. Harry's feelings about this office having gone to Ron are somewhat eased by the revelation that Harry's father was passed over for Prefect in his day as well, that "honor" instead going to Remus Lupin. This issue is not completely resolved until the end of the book, however; in his interview with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] after the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Battle at the Department of Mysteries|Battle at the Department of Mysteries]], Dumbledore explains why he had passed over Harry for the position: "I must confess... that I rather thought... you had enough responsibility to be going on with."
 
Ron's becoming a prefect is designed to give him self-confidence which he has lacked to this point. Ron, an average wizard, feels overshadowed by the alarmingly competent Hermione and the famous Harry Potter, despite their being his best friends. The self-confidence he gains from being selected as a Prefect will enable him to respond to the amorous advances of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lavender Brown|Lavender]], which could be considered rehearsal for his later, and enduring, romance with Hermione.

== Analysis ==
 
Ron and Hermione's approach to the office of Prefect shows the two sides of the appointment. Both are extremely glad to get selected, of course; but Ron makes extensive use of the privileges, bossing the younger kids around, where Hermione is greatly taken up with the responsibilities, trying to keep the common room in order (and being thwarted at every turnrepeatedly by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fred and George Weasley|the Weasley twins]]). [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Malfoy's]] prefect style is an almost grotesque increase in ugliness over Ron's; he is not ashamed to use his powers to get anything he wants for himself. What little we see of Malfoy's tenure as Prefect simply screams "Abuse of Power". On the other hand, Percy's stuffiness as a prefect is equally as extreme, but in the opposite direction; Percy's natural pompousness seems to expand into an over-inflated sense of his own importance in the scheme of things.
 
The dynamic of the story requires, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 16|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']], that Percy should have some secret that he prefers [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny]] not reveal. The obvious one would be that Percy has a girlfriend, which turns out to be [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Penelope Clearwater|Penelope Clearwater]]. When she gets [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 14|Petrified]], there has to be a reason that Percy gets distraught, other than the fact that she is his girlfriend, to keep that secret concealed for a few more weeks; the author uses Percy's apparent belief in Prefect invulnerability (as put forward by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/George Weasley|George Weasley]]) as explanation for his dismay.
 
There is some question as to whether prefects are allowed to dock house points. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], Ron seems to believe that prefects cannot dock house points; Draco Malfoy agrees, but then goes on to say that members of the Inquisitorial Squad, specially appointed by the High Inquisitor [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dolores Umbridge|Dolores Umbridge]] can, and then goes on to do that. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 9|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']], Percy does dock House points from Gryffindor, and he is only a prefect at that point. While [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq_view.cfm?id=40 the author has stated] that Percy was more likely right than Ron was, it is equally likely that Percy in fact was overstepping his authority, and though he said he was removing house points from Gryffindor, his statement had no real effect.

Though not mentioned in the Notable Consequences section, it should be mentioned that the self-confidence engendered in Ron by this appointment will be of importance in the final book as well. It is perhaps because of his increased self-confidence that he is able to walk away from Harry and Hermione when he gets tired of the lack of progress. It is certainly true that he has matured greatly when he returns to the Trio shortly after Christmas, and this maturation is likely due to the separation. Ron, as written, could not mature significantly in the presence of Harry and Hermione, so we speculate that the separation and reunion are vital to his role in the story, and while he perhaps would also have left the Trio out of anger without the additional confidence granted him by his time as Prefect, we suggest that he would not have attempted to return to the Trio without the confidence that he has gained.
