Percy was growing impatient, he was waiting outside the Ravenclaw common room but no sight of Leo. He had been waiting an hour and not even a word from him.
Percy decided Leo didn't have the potions ready and started heading towards the Gryffindor common room; but was interrupted by Professor Mcgonnagall.
"Mr Jackson, come with me." The Professor spoke with the same stern voice as always, which would've probably intimidated him if it weren't for the fact that he'd spoke to Lord Voldemort; a much more intimidating man.
"Of course, am I getting a detention for being out of bed?" Percy asked, wondering why he wasn't being immediately yelled at. He had a bad feeling, but decided to ignore it until he knew there was a reason to acknowledge it.
"Of course you are." Mcgonnagall said, although she didn't seem to be saying everything.
Percy narrowed his eyes at her, which she pretended not to notice as she walked through the doors of the headmasters office.
"Hello Perseus, please sit." Dumbledore requested.
Percy obliged, though not happy with the use of his full name. "I'm sorry sir, I shouldn't have snuck out past curfew."
"That's not what this is about, Mr Jackson." Dumbledore stated, looking Percy in the eyes.
"Then why did you need to speak to me?" Percy asked, fiddling with his fingers. He knew they were catching on, if not, already fully aware. Percy just needed to figure out a plan.
"Your file states that your mother is your guardian, and has been caring for you ever since your fathers untimely demise." Dumbledore started, looking at Percy for confirmation.
Percy nodded, "yes, she's been taking care of me for as long as I can remember."
Dumbledore continued, "it was recently brought to our attention that your mother has been deceased since before your father passed. Though it is only by a few minutes that she was dead before your father passed."
"No, my mother is fine, perfectly well as of the last time we exchanged letters." Percy lied, his plan was to act as though he thought Madam Red was his real mother.
"Don't make us give you Veritaserum, Mr Jackson." Mcgonnagall Warned.
Percy looked at the two and gave them a questionable glare, "that's the most powerful Truth serum, correct?"
"Yes, Mr Potter." Dumbledore nodded.
"I'm not Harry Potter, sir." Percy corrected, shifting in his seat. His ADHD wasn't making it easy to stay still and give off correct body language.
"My apologies, Mr Jackson. We will continue this discussion very soon." Dumbledore said as he stood up, "you're dismissed. Get to bed."
Percy nodded and stood up, heading straight for the Gryffindor common room.
'I guess I should've seen that coming, I mean come on, Dumbledore can send a letter that tells you your specific location on it, I shouldn't be surprised that he figured out about my lie." Percy thought to himself.
Harry hid as soon as the door opened, Percy returned and had no potion. The plan went perfectly. Harry snuck off to his bed and fell asleep, satisfied that he had stopped Percy from his devious plans.

Dumbledore paced around his office, the usual sparkle in his eyes replaced by a look of concern. He didn't know if he should meddle with the prophecy, or if he should just let one of the two die. It was inevitable, the prophecy clearly stated that one will die.
Dumbledore just couldn't live with himself if he allowed that to happen. Even so, he couldn't let Percy Jackson keep him from helping Harry defeat Voldemort. The horcruxes needed to be destroyed, and they were running out of time.
He'd have to prepare Harry to help retrieve the locket, possibly tomorrow.
He sighed and looked at the pensieve, he'd have to retrieve some memories from Percy, find out what Voldemort was planning.
Percy didn't know it, but he was helping Dumbledore so much more than hurting. Dumbledore wouldn't just keep a deatheater in the castle as he had, unless there was good reason.
