After they find him again, Percival is forced to spend time in the hospital to recover from his captivity and he drives everyone mad by trying to run the department from his sickbed.
Consider him doing the following
- ordering trainee baby!aurors to sneak him coffee and cigarettes.
- trying to hold his daily debrief/conferences from his hospital bed.
- having all his post, random messages/instructions delivered back and forth directly to his bed by owls/carrier pidgeon/rats/trembling baby!aurors and having arguments with the ward staff about hygiene vs his extremely vital and critical correspondence.
- upseting the other patients by swearing about everyone else’s incompetence.
- trying to recruit other patients into becoming his sounding boards when his aurors have been banished for the night (think of House and his differencial diagnoses)
- making the nurses cry when he’s in a bad mood and they try to tend to him, because dammit he does not need to be smothered. (What are you doing with that washcloth, you shameless minx? )
- flirting with the nurses when he’s in a good mood. (What are you doing with that washcloth, you shameless minx? *winks*)
- threatening to arrest everyone from the healers to the house elves if they don’t listen to him and let him smoke in peace.
- inadvertently flashing his butt to everyone in his hospital gown.
Etc.
Also someone - Tina/Newt/Credence - needs to get in to see him early on but they’re not allowed because family and the president only so they’re like: “Yes I am [first name] Graves, his wife/husband” and then they’re locked into the lie while hoping Percival never finds out.
And then one day the nurses say something about how Percival is so lucky to have such a devoted spouse, its clear how much they love each other and when whoever it is comes to see him he’s like, “When exactly did we get married?”
Of course necking (I think that’s what they called it in the 1920s idk) ensues, which is just one more reason why Percival Graves is a terrible patient.
HOW DID I MISS THIS FOR SO LONG?!?!?
