I have this headcannon bout Percy Weasley that henever he walks, its silent. Like REALLY silently and that's one of the reasons McGonagall made him prefect. Also whenever students sneak around, I hink they relay on their hearing sense so when they hear someone's footsteps, they go the other way and escape being caught past curfew. Except when it comes to Percy when he's on his prefect patrols, I imagine the interaction like this.
Random Student: (Sneaking around Hogwarts) "I'm lucky I managed to escape Snape-"
Percy: (Right behind them) "It's past your curfew."
Random student: (Absolutely fucking terrified because they didn't hear Percy approach them.) "WHAT THE FUCK!?"
Oh and Peeves definitely love watching it happen.
