past partcle
"Now, don't forget that nice wrist movement we've been practicing!" squeaked Professor Flitwick, perched on top of his pile of books as usual.
I guess the past particle, perched, has to be ‘perching’ for Professor Flitwick himself is sitting on top of the books. Then why does the writer put ‘perched’ on the place?
