Chapter 19.
Percy Jackson-
"I should be the one to do it!" Thalia said. "I'm older!"
"What? No, I am." Nico scoffed.
"I'm older, Death Breath," I said.
"Ummm..." Ginny said looking at us strangely.
"You were born before us, sure," I said, "But it isn't like you aged in the Hotel, so you aren't older than me."
"I'm older then you," Thalia told me.
"No you aren't."
"Pretty sure I am." She scowled.
"I'm eighteen. You are fifteen." I said.
"The day before I turned sixteen, and Immortal," Thalia spat. "Besides, I'm technically in my twenties."
"But you were a tree. Unless you are arguing with Juniper about this, than your tree years don't count."
"How did this even come up?" Ginny asked us.
"He/She started it!" Nico, Thalia and I said in unison. I was pointing to Thalia, Thalia was pointing at Nico, and Nico was pointing at me.
"I mean, he started it!" Thalia said, and pointed at me.
"What is this, gang up on Percy day?"
"Don't be silly," Nico rolled his eyes. "That's everyday."
"What if Leo were here?"
"Then we'd have him gang up on you, too." Thalia grinned.
"You guys are brutal." I pouted.
"It's what we do," Thalia said smugly.
"I thought for a moment you were going to say 'That's what I do. That's what I live for.'" I snickered.
They three of them turned to look at me, and I flushed. "Well...Ariel is sort of my niece!"
"She isn't real," Thalia said with a smile on her face.
"Well...Triton is real! And he does not look like that! And the movie basically takes place under water! How could I not watch it?" I asked, blushing slightly. "Besides, The Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo are the best movies of all time."
"No they aren't," Nico said.
"You don't even watch movies!"
"Please, you barely watch TV either," Thalia said. "I bet you only saw those because of the water aspect of it." When I didn't contradict her, she grinned triumphantly. "See, I knew it!"
"That was a perfect pun moment! And you passed it up!" Nico whined.
"Huh?" Thalia and I said, back and forth at Nico and each other in confusion.
"See." He said if it was obvious. "Sea." He put more emphasis on the word. When we still didn't get it, he muttered "Oh, forget it," under his breath.
"You guys still haven't told me how this argument started," Ginny wiped a tear fro one of her eyes. "Gods, you guys crack me up."
"Oh, well, we are planning to prank Malfoy while he is sleeping." Nico said.
"How would you get into the Common Room?" Ginny asked. Then she saw the smirks on our faces. "Never mind. You demigods have your ways, I assume. But then what was the fight for?"
"We couldn't all be the one to prank him," Thalia said as if it were obvious. "Someone needs to keep watch, and someone needs to be the getaway person."
"Which is why I should be the pranker," I said. "You be the lookout, and Nico is the getaway guy."
"No," Thalia shook her head. "Nico is the getaway guy, and you get me in and be on the lookout."
"What if Nico is the lookout, and both of us prank the snobby prick?" I proposed.
"Hmm." Thalia seemed to think about it.
"What? No!" Nico protested.
"Think about it, I'll get us in, rig water related pranks, and you can do the rest. Nico can blend in the shadows, so he'd be the perfect lookout!"
"You may be on to something," Thalia said, warming up to the idea.
"No! Nope! I refuse!" Nico said.
We ignored him.
"All right," Thalia said, agreeing to it. "Shake on it?"
We shook, and I jumped when she shocked me. "Ah!"
Nico snickered, and Thalia smirked. "Oops," she shrugged innocently, and I glared at her. Ginny gave Thalia a high five...which wasn't fair, since she didn't get shocked.
We continued to walk to the Great Hall for breakfast, most of us content for our late-night plans. We grudginly got Nico to be our lookout. Of course, during breakfast we ended up arguing about something or other...but that's just just. We are demigod offspring of the Big Three. It only makes sense that we argue like them as well.
...
Surprisingly, although all of the other Gryffindors hated Potions because of Professor Snapper (Who reminds me of a snapping turtle with his name and his attitude), but I happen to be pretty good in it. The teacher dude even likes me, even if he won't admit it. (Or maybe not). I'm just extremely likable, what can I say?
"I'm off to brew some Potions, in the grumpy land of Snape!" I sang horribly off key as Nico and Thalia bickered beside me. But when I sang the line I made up, the stopped and stared at me, and then burst into laughter. I grinned smugly at them. Breaking up an argument between the children of the Big Three was nearly impossible, unless I was the one doing it. I was proud of that fact.
And thanks to Hecate, I was a lot lighter. Not only were my dreams gone...well, the non-demigodly important future predicting ones, but since she helped me start controlling my power...not only did I feel more powerful, but more in control of myself. It was a great feeling. Not as great as I felt while eating my mom's blue cookies, but great nevertheless.
Hec-ate. Heck Ate. You know, her name really is weird. At least it isn't Neck-butt. Now, that was a weird day. Carter and Sadie are awesome, of course, and they are great friends when I see them, but I haven't seen them lately, which is a real shame. Sadie happens to be a highly entertaining person. (No, they will not be going to Hogwarts. It isn't that kind of fan-fiction, I'm sorry. Whenever I see that happen in these sort of books, I always get really confused because it has nothing to do with the story-line, so they aren't here. It isn't a triple crossover. But Sadie is my favorite in the Kane Chronicles, and Percy really did meet the both of them-Carter and Sadie-so Percy was just mentioning it when he thought of how weird Hecate's name is. That is all. Please continue reading :).)
When we sat down, Snappy silenced the class and said some stuff. I wasn't really paying attention until he said my name.
"Mr. Jackson." He sneered.
"Yes, Coach?" I mumbled. A few people laughed.
"Tell me what direction you stir the Luminous Potion after adding unicorn hair."
Trick Question, Hippogriff feather and it is two stirs, counter clockwise. A familiar voice said inside my head.
"Well, Snapping Turtle, it happens to be a trick question. It's a Hippogriff feather, and then two stirs counter clockwise," I yawned. Snappy scowled, and I grinned to myself. Sure, I didn't know the answers to the questions by myself, but when I was brewing potions, the water in the bowl thing told me what to do. It didn't literally tell me...but you get the point. I hope.
I'm like the master of liquids. Hey, Magneto is the Master of Magnitism, so we could fight and stuff. That'd be fun. The X-Men are awesome. If they were real, I'd totally be an X-Man, and fight the Magnetic Man guy. That would be cool. I'd have one of the X-Man suits, and it would be the Master of Liquids versus the Master of Magnetism. I'd probably say something like; 'You're going down, Hippie!'
My brain works in a lot of really weird ways...but since I usually end up saving lots of people, I think I could get away with it.
"Detention," Snappy sneered.
"See," I said in an overly loud voice. "He is like a Snapping Turtle! He is so moody! Like my cousin Nico."
"Hey!"
"Double detention," Snappy said, his eyes narrowing in anger.
"How fun! Guys, you up for Detention?"
Thalia rolled her eyes. Nico looked away and whispered loudly, "I don't know him!"
Then Thalia stood up abruptly. And pushed Malfoy's bowl thing to the floor, including all of its contents. It hit the floor with a thud, and Snappy's forehead vein looked like it was about to pop, which looked ridiculous, and made me snicker a bit.
"Oops," Thalia said dryly.
"Double detention to you as well!" Snappy growled, and I can tell Thalia was suppressing her smirk since she had gotten exactly what she wanted. "And double detention to the next person to speak!"
Thalia and I discretely looked at Nico. He sighed loudly.
"I'm off to brew some Potions, in the grumpy land of Snape!" He sang loudly. "I'm off to double detention, because I'm an idiot," He sang, looking at Snappy's expression.
"The three of you, out! You will go to the Headmaster to explain what you have done!" Snappy growled.
The three of us got up, smiled brightly at him, and saluted him and the rest of the class, taking a bow before swiftly exiting before we could get into more trouble.
...
The three of us laughed once we had gotten farther enough away so we wouldn't be heard by the Snapper, we burst out laughing.
"Gods, Perce," Thalia laughed.
"You are so lucky you have us," Nico said.
"I know," I smiled at them, throwing my arms around them as we headed to Blumervore's office. "What other cousins would get in trouble to be in detention with me? That's why I love you guys."
"I thought you loved us because we brighten up your dull life," Thalia says.
"No, my life is never dull." I told them. "But you guys sure make it more interesting."
"I can't argue with that." Nico mused. "Your life can't ever be classified as dull. Neither can ours, as a matter of fact."
We arrived at a...what's it called? A gargoyle, I think.
I gave it a head nod, and pointed up with my pointer finger. It didn't move.
"Up, please," I said.
Its eyes opened, and it looked me over. A moment later, a revolving staircase was revealed, and my cousins and I confidently walked on.
Dumberbore looked up from whatever it was he was doing. He looked surprised, an expression I didn't think suited him.
"What's going on?" I asked, smiling cheekily. "We were sent here by Snappy because we disrupted the lesson."
"What exactly did you do?" He asked, his blue eyes never straying from my sea-green ones. I think he was still weary of me. He didn't know what to make of me, so he didn't trust me.
"Well, I was given double detention for...what did I do again?" I asked Thalia. She rolled her eyes.
"I think you called him a Snapper Turtle and got detention, and then earned a double detention for calling a Snapper Turtle again, and saying he was moody, then comparing him to our young cousin."
I nodded. "So, yeah. That's what I did. Then Pinecone Face joined me by knocking over Mally-Boy's potion pot thing. And then Nico sang a song I made up on the way to Potions so he could join us. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll make Snappy, or whoever else we do the detentions with at least twice as miserable and aggravated somehow. And then you'll probably be seeing a whole lot of us." I grinned.
Alber-whatever looked even more baffled.
"Just so you know, you are making me feel pretty insulted here," I added, making Thalia and Nico snicker quietly.
"How am I insulting you?" Dumblebee narrowed his eyes slightly from behind his half-moon spectacles.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I don't like being judged solely by my heritage. Would you like to be judged by some evil, twisted creep without a nose that you've never met?" I asked him, and then answered before getting a response. "Of course not," I said. "You wouldn't like it all, and I have to say that I don't appreciate it much." He gaped at me, and I took it as my cue to keep going. "I'm actually a pretty good guy," I said, "and I'd like it if you started thinking of me as my own person with my own identity, instead of another Volder-Bolder."
Thalia laughed. "I think it is a bit hypocritical, don't you? I mean, you let scum like Malfoy in here, and don't treat him an different, but you treat my cousin like he is going to kill somebody."
Dumblygore looked at Nico to see if he was going to add anything to tell him off. Nico just shrugged, and nodded at the two of us. "What they said."
Hello! What going on, Wattpadians? The more people vote and comment, the more I am inspired to update. It's just easier for me to update when I get encouragement from you guys.
What did you guys think? Please do remember that none of the chapters are updated yet, so if something isn't spelled right, or something doesn't sound right, that is why.
So, if you can, check out my other stories. If you like this, spread the word to other Percy Jackson/Harry Potter Wattpaders you know.
You know what I love? I love strawberries, and it only helps my love of strawberries that they are grown at Camp Half Blood :) I also love waffles. Blue waffles are amazing. And Sugar Wafers. Gotta love those, too.
Okay, that's enough rambling about food. I'll see you guys next time I update, which will hopefully be soon. Adios, amigos :)
