Chapter 5 - Not Cool Anymore

Wrote this chapter in one sitting from 11 pm-1 am

Enjoy

Percy had just finished eating breakfast, he was in the middle of talking with Harry and Ron.

"See ya mate," Ron said to him

"Yeah, I'll see you guys at lunch right?" Percy asked the two of them

"Yup"

Percy walked away from them and started looking for Layla, she was sitting with Hermione. He heard Hermione and Layla start laughing like crazy.

Percy walked closer to them asking "Whatcha laughing about, better not be me"

They both turned their heads slowly, he saw Layla's mouth moving, but couldn't hear what she said.

"Oh Percy it's you, umm you didn't happen to hear anything we were saying... right?" Hermione asked in a nervous tone, as her face went red

"No, why"

"Nothing," Hermione said quickly

"Look at the time, I've got transfiguration now with Professor McGonagall, who is, in fact, the head of our house, I can't wait to learn it, got to go."

"Oh ok see ya later then" Layla called across to Hermione who gave a small wave back.

"Huh so it's just you and me now," Layla said

"Uhuh, don't you think she's a bit crazy"

"Who, Hermione, nah she's cool once you get to know her, tho I guess she can be crazy when it comes to school. We should get going to class soon." As she slung her backpack on

"Yeah, my girlfriend is like that when it comes to school," Percy said thinking about Annabeth, Hermione could be her sister.

"Girlfriend, you have a girlfriend?" Layla asked in a high pitched voice

"Oh, yeah she's the best. So what class do we have?"

"Hmph like I remember," Layla said

"Well, you're the one that can read it, not me."

"Ugh, fine, I have to do everything when I'm with you" Layla pulled out her schedule from her pocket  "Looks like we have DADA, classroom C104"

"Ok, and where is that?"

"C104" Layla said like it was obvious

"I know, you said that, but where do we find it?"

"Gosh, you don't know anything, it's on the first floor in the c hallway. Now come on or we're going to be late cause of you."

Percy and Layla were on their 5th moving staircase trying to get to the DADA classroom, Layla didn't want to admit it but they were lost. Those moving staircases have to be the worst thing ever made, how did they help anyone at all, other than look awesome. 

"Huh, I remember you saying this was so easy to find, now we are completely lost," Percy said to Layla

"We are not lost!"

"Really, then where the heck are we?"

"God, ok fine, we're lost," Layla said lowering her head

"Hey It's not your fault, we just have to time the staircase."

"And how do you suppose we do that, with that genius brain of yours," Layla said

Ok, Layla differently woke up on the wrong side of the bed or he said something wrong, which he didn't think he did.

"We just have to run up the stairs the second it locks in place," Percy said this shouldn't be this hard to do, the rest of the school didn't have a problem with this.

"Alright alright that makes sense, which is surprising," Layla said the last part under her breath

Percy acted like he didn't hear it, she was obviously in a bad mood from something

"Oh that one, it's going right to our class" She points to a moving staircase that was identical to the other hundreds

Percy started to say "Get ready, 3...2...1" Layla took off before he finished. He just stood there in place, looking at her.

"Why didn't you go?" Layla shouted at him

"Cause I didn't get to now, everyone knows that you go on now not 1," Percy said back

"Well, you could have told me that, cause no not everyone knows that, but I don't know maybe in America they do. But in case you didn't realize weren't not in AMERICA. We're going on my count now. Got it"

"Geez who hurt you?"

She didn't answer his question only gave him a look. What happened to her Percy's never seen her like this. Granted he had only known her for a day, but still, she's going crazy right now.

"Ok Percy we go at 1 got it," She said putting 3 fingers up in his face

Percy said while swatting her hand down "Yeah yeah let's go"

"3...2...

1"

Percy bolted upstairs through the corner of his eyes he could Layla's robe wailing up and down. Percy thought the robes would be horrible when he first saw them in his suitcase, then he put them on and they were quite comfortable. He got up to the top a few seconds before Layla, turned around and saw her. His huge smile flashed on his face.

"We did it! he yelled throwing his arms in the air

Layla got to the top but her momentum carried her sight into Percy. Percy wrapped his arms around as he tumbled back, but he kept his balance. He was jumping up and down in cheer Layla joined him. He calmed down after a bit, then he realized he was still hugging Layla, and the air between them was nonexistent.

He pulled away from her and looked at her face they was a goofy grin plastered on it.

"That was amazing, you did it," Layla said

"We did it"

"Yeah, we did!" Layla said as the two of them started to laugh

"Wohf we should probably get going now already like 20 minutes late," Percy said in a kinda serious way

"Yeah, I mean if we are already this late we might as well not show up now," Layla said

Percy looked at her that wasn't a bad idea, they could explore the school, maybe find a pool and go swimming. "Nah," he said

Percy and Layla found the classroom quickly, when they opened the door Percy was prepared to get yelled at, but instead got a whiff of... garlic?

"Ah, what is that?" He said

"Ugh who needs this much garlic, does he think vampires are after him?"

"He probably thinks we're blood sucking students," Percy said as he walked to the closest chair in the back. The teacher didn't even see the two of them enter the room, just kept talking. Layla found a desk across from his own.

Percy saw a boy that was in his bedroom. He taped on his shoulder "Hey, um so what did we miss?"

"Oh, nothing much we just introduced ourselves also you should know Professor Quirrell is well weird, I'm Seamus by the way." 

"Percy and that is Layla," Percy said pointing to Layla

"Nice to meet you, Seamus," Layla said

"What is your parentage, my mum's a witch and father a muggle, bet it was a nasty shock when he found out."

Parentage, well going of what Seamus said Percy could also be a half blood, just have to tweak the facts a bit.

"Well I'm a half blood too but my dad is the magical one,"

"Oh, I'm from a pure blood family," Layla said

"Are th-the th-three of y...ou talking as I'm t..t..teaching?" Professor Quirell said weakly

"Of course not sir we would never interrupt our lesson," Layla said in a sweet tone "I think you were hearing were those vampires."

Percy adds "Yeah, you might need to add more garlic, don't think there's enough,"

The class started to laugh as Quirell looked terrified at the thought of there being vampires in his class. "Oh oh oh you s...students th-think your your funny, wait till you you see a a really r...eally va...vam...pire."

"Seamus, ay Seamus I now see what you said about him being weird," Layla whispered to him

The rest of the class went by without anything happening other than Quirell stuttering. Percy didn't even get to use his wand once, which he was bummed about. Eventually, the class ended a Percy had to leave Layla as she went to her class. Now his got History of Magic with Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

On his way, he got lost of course but he ran into the three of them so it wasn't that bad. Hermione made them all get to class right away.

Hermione was way in front of the three boys when Ron said "She is so annoying I don't think I can survive having every blood class with her. I'm going to talk with Professor McGonagall to switch up my class."

"Layla said she wasn't that bad once you get to know her," Percy said

"That's the problem, you can't get to know her."

Percy noticed Harry kept his mouth shut as they made their way to class not making a single noise.

Harry talked once they got to class "Great we're here early, now what do we get to do?"

"We get the best seats in the class of course!" Hermione said exited as she skipped to the seat in the first row. She wasn't really skipping, but she could have been, the way she was acting.

The three boys all shared a look as they walked to the back of the class. The real best seats are in the back of the room. And to answer Harry's question from before what they did was, sleep through the whole class.

The rest of the day went by with the same things in every class, all they did was icebreakers. Not even learning a single bit of magic. Percy didn't even think he touched his wand once, and he really wanted to use it.

He was sitting with Harry and Ron at dinner as Ron and Harry talked about how bad Snape and the Syltherines were. He found out the Syltherines were another house. And that Professor Snape favored his house way too much.

"Why can't Professor McGonagall favor us, then it would be somewhat fair," Ron complained

Harry nodded his head as he ate his food. Then a a snowy white owl landed right in front of Harry with a raggy letter in between its beak. "Hedwig," Harry said "How are you" as he patted her feathers.

Hedwig turned her head towards Percy and gave a hard look. He was full expecting her to fly straight at him. But the nice owl didn't, only stared at him. Huh didn't Hecate tell him something about owls and letters the other day?

"So what does it say?" asked Ron

"Hagrid wants to have a cup of tea later Friday afternoon," Harry said happily

Percy saw him pull out a feather and a bottle of ink from his backpack and start writing with it on the back of the paper. Why the Hades is he writing with that, doesn't he have a pen?

Harry gave Hedwig the paper and sent her off. The whole time Percy was thinking, good owl good owl, good Athena.

"Hey, I got it why don't you two join me tomorrow with Hagrid, it's going to be Friday anyway?" Harry asked

"Sure why not" said both Percy and Ron

Percy went back to what Hercalte said about letters and that he could send letters to anyone he wanted. She did emphasize the part to anyone, but Percy didn't know anyone to send it to, unless...

"That's what she meant," Percy said out loud

He could send letters to his mom and Annabeth, AND ANNABETH.

"What," everyone around him said

"Nothing nothing, does anyone have a piece of paper, I need one right now"

"Percy Percy hear I got one," Hermione said as she pulled a paper out of her backpack

"Thank you"

Percy started to walk off then he realized he had no clue where they kept the owls. So he turned back around and asked them "Where do they keep the owls?"

Once aging Hermione helped him out "The same tower as the astronomy tower."

"Hermione your a lifesaver."

Astronomy tower well that's a good thing cause astronomy was his last class today, so it was still fresh in his mind on how directions to it. After searching a bit more in the tower he found the owls.

"Ok, you guys be good now please, it's late wouldn't want to wake anyone up." As soon as he stepped on foot inside all the owls went crazy. He tuned out the constant hooting and looked for an owl that Hecate would use. He saw a cage with a blue border around it, no other cage had so he walked towards it. On it, in ancient Greek, it said For Percy Jackson the owl's name is Kasper. Kasper that's a cool name for his owl.

Kasper had white feathers but different from Hedwig, his were more gray. Percy pulled out riptide and turned it to its pen form, the one Annabeth found in, well that place. He started to write in his messy handwriting.

Dear, Annabeth

I miss you. I don't know if you will get this cause Hecate sent me back in time to 1991. I know you're worried about me right now, but you don't need to be. I'm in London at this school called Hogwarts, funny name I know, anyway it is a beautiful castle and you would absolutely love it. I made a few friends here and I also got this wand to do magic with, haven't got the chance to do it yet. Hecate said that I would be good at water magic, so I really want to try it out. So yeah I haven't got in trouble yet so that's great. I have been here for 1 day and have had 4 classes so far, we did not get to do any magic yet sadly. It has been fun here tho, wish you were here, you would love it.

I love you Wise girl

(PS could you tell my mom I Love her)

Percy finished the letter and rereading it to make sure he didn't forget anything. He unlocked the cage and gave Kasper the letter.

"Um I don't know how you're gonna find her but give this to Annabeth Chase, you probably know who she is."

He watched Kasper fly off into the night sky, then disappear from his slight. After that, he turned around and saw Mr. Flich.

"Oh my, oh my, we are in big trouble now. A first year out of bed, that is a serious crime." Mr. Flich said in his raspy voice

Crap this is not cool anymore
