A/N: Yesterday I was taking a picture of my friend and this kid in my band class was walking by and photobombed the picture, he's just that weird guy in the back. Also HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S
Harry's POV
I was pacing up and down the corridors in front of the hospital wing, Percy had gone missing in the middle of the night yesterday. Percy wasn't anywhere in the castle, and he wasn't in the hospital yesterday morning. He'd been hit in the head with a bludger at the game last week and was out cold for three days before waking up.
"It's alright, Harry." Hermione said,
"They'll find him mate, don't worry so much."
"Sorry. I just am scared that he won't make it back."
Percy's POV
"Sirius."
"Yes, I do suppose that was this poor man's name. He was caught between life and death, you see. So I decided to put him out of his misery and use him as a host. He is not the best of hosts, but he's better than, what was his name..." Kronos thought for a few seconds, "Ah, Luke." I zoned out for two more days, between sleep and consciousness. The only dreams I did have were of both wizard and demigod world being destroyed in a fiery blaze. I woke up when someone splashed water on me, I was not expecting it so I was soaked and I didn't have the energy to dry myself off. I was wherever I was for at least a week, maybe longer. They wanted me to join them, to help them defeat Harry and they wouldn't take no for an answer. The noseless guy, Voldemort, cursed me, he shouted something like 'Crucio" or something and a red light blasted me in the chest, it felt like a thousand tiny knives being thrown at me. One night Kronos came down, he looked pained.
"Percy," he said, "I don't have much time. He's taking control again."
Sirius had managed to fight Kronos off for a few minutes. He unlocked my shackles and his eyes turned gold once more. I ran, Kronos tried to stop time but it was only working in small blasts. I made it out of the cave and found a nearby body of water. I imagined myself turning into water and I reappeared in the lake at Hogwarts. I nodded to the giant squid. He waved a tentacle at me in greeting. I swam towards the edge of the lake, when I saw someone at the bottom of the lake. He had black Hair, vibrant green eyes and familiar round glasses.
"Harry," I said, my voice sounded weird underwater, Harry looked at me and swam over.
"Percy? Or are you just a Death Eater pretending to be him?"
"It's me." I said,
"Well then tell me something only Percy would know."
I reached out with my mind,
'It's me. And my favorite food is blue cookies.' I said, emphasis on the blue. Would it be considered talking if I'm using a mind link, or would it be thinking? I really am a Seaweed Brain, Annabeth would probably call me that right now, Annabeth is so pretty, she has gorgeous grey eyes and gold hair that shines when it's sunny. The sun god Apollo can be kinda stuck up though. I realized that I'd gone off topic. Harry was sitting next to me on the lake bottom,
"Hey Harry, maybe you should go back to the castle."
"Sure, you coming?"
"I'll be right there, I'm gonna IM Annabeth first." I made a rainbow and tossed a drachma into it,
"Fleecy do me a solid, show me Annabeth Chase at Olympus or Camp Half-Blood." the rainbow shimmered, and Annabeth showed up,
"Hey Wise Girl," I said,
"PERCY!" Annabeth yelled, "Where were you? You've been gone for two weeks."
"So I was playing Quidditch and I was knocked out by a bludger and then when I wake up I'm in some cave with Voldemort and.." I looked around and lowered my voice, "Kronos." the ground shook a little,
"Him?! But he's not supposed to be back yet!"
"I know, but he found himself a new host, Harry's apparently dead godfather. And I don't know if I should tell him. I mean he's going to die anyways."
"Tell him, because he'll find out when he fights him and then he'll blame you for not telling him and you might never be friend again."
"Alright. Thanks Wise Girl."
"Any time Seaweed Brain. Goodnight, well for you at least." I slashed my hand through the mist, cutting off the message. I swam to the surface and headed to Professor Dumbledore's office. The password was Sugar Quill, Professor Dumbledore was still awake, he looked surprised to see me.
"Mr. Jackson." he said,
"Yeah, sorry about going missing like that. I snapped my fingers, "I was away on vacation and I could not travel back." Dumbledore nodded, I guess the Mist worked on most wizards. I headed up to my dorm and went to sleep, still dressed. I woke up early the next morning, I found Harry in front of the fireplace,
"Morning." I yawned, "Harry, we need to talk. It's about when I was gone. Voldemort was there and so was an old enemy of mine, remember?"
Harry nodded, he knew who I was talking about.
"Well he found a new host, he was between life and death, and well Harry. It was Sirius." Harry gasped,
"Really?"
"Yes. But Harry, you can't get your hopes up, he will most likely die. I'm sorry." Harry looked sad at the fact that he'd never see his godfather as himself again, but otherwise seemed to take the news well.
"Ok, thanks Perce. See you in class." Harry walked away, I went to breakfast, the rest of the year passed quickly. The most memorable part was when we won the quidditch cup and Harry kissed Ginny. Harry and Ginny started dating, Harry finally got rid of that potions book he was always carrying around and then Harry had to go on a expedition with Dumbledore. When they got back there were Death Eaters everywhere. I waited until they couldn't see me, then I stunned them. I got about 5 Death Eaters stunned before I could head to the Astronomy tower where Harry and Dumbledore were. I could see the doorway when a man with pointed teeth and claws blocked my path,
"Petrificus totalus." I said, but the spell didn't have that much effect on him. He side stepped it when I fired the same spell, I couldn't risk uncapping Riptide. The man, most likely werewolf, slashed his caws across my arm. It burned but I would treat them later, my brother needed help. I tried to pass him, I saw a red-headed man, probably about twenty, help me about ten minutes later. He was slashed across the face and neck. I pitied him, werewolf scars never healed. That's when I, per usual, had a stupid, reckless idea. The next time the werewolf lunged I grabbed his hand, twisted it behind his back and jumped over him, he passed out. I ran up the stairs, it was the same as my dream. Snape was pointing his wand at Dumbledore, Malfoy in the background, Snape said the killing curse, Avada Kedavra, and Dumbledore fell off the tower. He was dead before he hit the ground. Everybody went to the hospital wing to get their injuries fixed. I passed out once I lay down, I'd been running on adrenaline the whole time. When I next woke up my arm and torso were covered in some kind of paste. I could feel the skin healing, Annabeth would freak out, but at camp it's fine to have scars. They're something to respect if anything. I wished that I had ambrosia or nectar, that would help to speed up the healing process. (hahaha, process, a/n at bottom) I sat up, despite my ribs screaming in pain. Harry was asleep in the chair next to me,
"Hey Harry." I croaked, I looked around, there was the red haired man who fought the werewolf with me, and a few others. The red haired man was badly scarred. The wing was almost empty, making me wonder how long I'd been out.
"Harry." I said a little louder, Harry jolted awake
"Percy." he said, "Dumbledore is dead."
"I know, I had a dream of it happening. I'm sorry Harry."
"Thanks, there's a funeral tomorrow before lunch. After that we get to all go home. Mrs. Weasley invited us to The Burrow. I said that I'd ask you."
"Yeah, I'm gonna go to camp first though, I need to ask Annabeth something first."
"Ok, we leave first thing day after tomorrow."
"'Kay." Harry left, I used the water in the air to create a rainbow and threw a drachma into it and Annabeth appeared.
"Hey Wise Girl."
"Hey Seaweed Brain. Where the Hades are you?"
"I'm in the hospital wing of the school, which is why I wanted to talk to you." I lowered my voice, "Okay, so a few days ago the school was attacked by 'Death Eaters' you know, Moldy-shorts followers. Alright so I was going to give Harry a hand when this guy comes and attacks me-" Annabeth cuts me off,
"Okay, so he attacks you. What do you need to ask me?"
"Annabeth, the guy was most likely a werewolf." I showed her the claw marks on my arm.
"You'll be fine, remember when Nico was attacked by Lycaon? They just take longer to heal." Annabeth seemed to be reassuring herself rather than me.
"'Kay, thanks. I'll keep you posted on it." I tried to get out of the hospital bed when the nurse came in.
"Oh good, you're awake. You've been out for almost a day. Do you remember what happened?"
"I remember being attacked, I don't remember anything after that." I said, playing dumb.
"Well, the man who attack you only got you on the arm and ribs, you're very lucky. He got the worst of it." she pointed to the red haired man. "You may have some side effects from the attack, possibly a preference for raw meat, maybe wolfish characteristics. You may leave once I am sure you are in full health." she gave me a check-up and then I was given the thumbs up that I could leave, YAS!! I didn't really do anything the rest of the day, I went to Dumbledore's funeral the next day, and that Harry and I went to The Burrow with the Weasleys and Hermione. Bill, Ron's older brother, and a girl named Fleur got married later on in the summer. A few days before the wedding it was Harry and my birthday. Mrs. Weasley made a quidditch themed cake, with a quaffle and snitch on it. There were purple decorations in the trees, Hermione had turned many of the leaves on the trees gold, it was beautiful.
The next day was the wedding, we all had to wear dress robes, and Harry wore a disguise so nobody noticed him. He was pretending to be one of the Weasley's cousins. The wedding was going perfectly until a glowing ball of light came into the tent, it took the form of a lynx and said 10 words that brought everyone into panic.
"The ministry has fallen, Scrimgeour is dead, they are coming." Many people apparated on the spot, I ran to find Hermione, Harry and Ron. I grabbed Harry's arm just in time and we apparated away. We landed in an alley next to a busy street,
"Where are we Hermione?" I asked.
"Near a theater I used to go to with mum and dad when I was a kid." she said, "We should change, I have clothes in my bag. I've got all of your rucksacks. I've been packed for weeks." she pulled three bags out her tiny beaded bag, I didn't know how they all fit in there but magic was probably the answer.
"You can change under the cloak." she pulled that out from er bag as well,
"You're bloody brilliant Hermione." Ron said, once everyone was in muggle clothes we found a coffee shop that was still open. The coffee tasted like dirty water, but it ha caffeine which kept me awake. We had to apparate away because Death Eaters found us, we hid out in Harry's godfather's old house. We disguised ourselves as ministry workers, we found the locket of Salazar Slytherin and had to run for it. We escaped just in time, but Yaxley grabbed Hermione's foot and followed us. When we got to Grimmauld Place I barely glimpsed the house when we apparated away again. We were in a forest this time, I looked around and saw Ron lying on the ground with a gaping hole in his shoulder. I pitched the tent while Harry helped Hermione patch Ron up. Ron's shoulder now had a new layer of skin on it, but it was still a nasty red color. Hermione was now walking around the edges of the camp.
"What're you doing 'Mione?" I asked,
"Protective spells, muggle repelling, disillusionment. That kind of thing."
"Oh. Okay."
Harry and I helped Ron into the tent, we put him on the lower bunk of one of the bunk beds. After a few weeks Ron's shoulder was healed but he still wore a sling, just in case. We'd been taking turns wearing the locket. It made the wearer rude, grumpy and annoying. We switched the wearer every 24 hours, right now it was Harry's turn. Then it would be Hermione's turn then my turn then Ron's. We now had to find the sword of Gryffindor. Harry thought that it was at Godric's Hollow, we went there. Ron had left the 'quest' due to the locket's control over him, he had apparated away. Godric's Hollow was beautiful, Harry was drawn to a house that was in ruins.
'Is that it?' I asked,
'Yes. Look at the sign.' the sign said something about Lily and James Potter, and this being where they died. This is where our parents died. I looked at the crumbling house, it had a familiar feel to it, as though I'd been there before. Hermione hugged Harry, we kept walking, we passed a graveyard. Harry stopped,
"They'd be in there Hermione, my parents." we made a quick detour, Hermione and Harry put a small wreath on the marble grave, seeing as it was Christmas eve. There was a rustle in the bushes, and a small woman came into the graveyard through a side path, she was very old. Her face was spotted with age and she was hunched over a cane. She beckoned to Harry,
"Are you Bathilda? Bathilda Bagshot?" Harry asked, the wizened woman nodded. She hobbled away,
"She might have the sword, Bathilda Bagshot was a friend of my mum and dad's." Harry told Hermione and I. We followed her into the smelliest house ever, there were heaps of unwashed clothes littering the floor, stale bread crusts and unwashed dishes. She brought Harry upstairs, he shouted suddenly.
'Percy, she's a snake. Help' I rushed to Hermione,
"We need to help Harry." I said, we ran up the stairs, Bathilda's neck had come off and a great snake was slithering out of the empty carcass.
"REDUCTO!" Hermione shouted, the curse ricocheted off the walls and hit Harry's wand. It broke in two with a snap, the snake was distracted, I grabbed Harry and Hermione and apparated away.
