percy vs the twins is a smoke screen
or: the real issue isn’t between the twins and percy, it’s between all the weasley children and their parents, and the twins took out their frustration on percy - and to a lesser but still considerable extent ron - much more accessible targets than their parents.
like, george and fred - particularly fred - clearly lack appropriate outlets for their energy, they are chronically understimulated. they are very intelligent and clever, and it’s almost similar to james and sirius in a way - pranking because they are just so bored otherwise. quidditch is a useful outlet, but I think that they think the only way they can get their parents attention - particularly molly’s - is by acting out, gathering that negative attention is better than none.
it doesn’t help (and this has been pointed out by many others before) that they receive conflicting reactions from their parents, with molly scolding and yelling and arthur tacitly encouraging them.
I do think that george and fred do bear some responsibility for their at times abhorrent treatment of percy and ron, but I think the larger responsibility lays at molly and arthur’s feet for not properly nurturing their sons’ emotional needs.
tl;dr: the weasley children need to unite against their parents and george and fred were little shits because they lacked proper enrichment, goodnight!
