HI!!! I'M BACK!!! So I'm not gonna update very often because softball practice goes from after school 'til 4:30 (I'm surprisingly athletic for a nerd). But my family has started unpacking so I have more extra time.
Percy's POV
We decided we couldn't stay for long at the new camp site Hermione had found, we waited until Harry was awake and left the next day. I tried to stay out of the tent, Harry and Hermione seemed to be crushing on each other, or something. I'd been running farther and farther in my animagus form, I'd even made myself a saddle to carry someone if they passed out or anything. Its was all really cool. I ran back to the campsite, it was empty, Harry and Hermione were packing up the tent. Suddenly a wave of anger overwhelmed me, they were going to leave and they didn't tell me. Hermione had said we were leaving tomorrow, were they leaving without me?
The next thing I remember was shouting at my friends. I threw the locket onto the ground and apparated away, I ended up in some alley, I heard a gravelly voice coming from around the corner
"We haven't found any mudbloods yet, don't you think we should try somewhere else?"
"Alright, we leave for the Ministry after this block." a familiar voice snarled, Greyback. I stepped back, landing on a broken bottle. It smashed under my foot,
"What was that?" Greyback hissed, he ran around the corner, his wand in his hand.
"Stupefy!" he bellowed, I fell to the ground, frozen.
My hands were tied behind my back and I was thrown into a pile with another person. He looked familiar with red and, blue eyes and freckles. Then it hit me, Ron. I couldn't move because of the stunning spell but he seemed to recognize me. Before he could say anything the snatchers had apparated away, we landed in a small patch of trees outside London, right near the entrance to the Ministry. The stupefy had worn off and I jumped up, punched a snatcher in the face, stole his wand, my wand and Ron's wand, grabbed Ron and apparated away before they could come to their senses. We both landed in a clearing about the size of a garage in a forest.
"Where are we?" Ron asked,
"Forest of Dean, this is where we were planning on coming next." I said, "Nice to see you Ron."
Ron grinned, and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, "You too Percy. How'd you get captured by the snatchers?"
"Got angry at Harry and Hermione, lockets fault, apparated and landed in that alley."
Ron and I made a mini camp site, it had protective borders and a small fire going. We swapped stories about how the locket could be destroyed, there was a tiny lake near the camp, I went to get water to put out the fire before we left so that no one could track us when I saw something glinting in the bottom, I called Ron over,
"There's something in the bottom of the pond, look, just there." I pointed to the center of the pond, sure enough there was a shiny silver something lying in the rocks.
"What do you think it is?"
"Well, I dunno for sure, but I think it might just be the sword of Gryffindor."
There was a snap in the bushes and a familiar person walked into the clearing. He was thin with messy hair and green eyes hidden behind circular glasses. It as Harry, he gave no indication that he saw us, the shields must still be working.
"Ron, he can't see us because of the shields. Come on!"
Ron and I set to work taking down the shields, Harry jumped into the icy water, and he started swimming. I knew that water wouldn't affect him but Ron didn't know that. The locket tightened around Harry's neck and started choking him, Ron dove into the water, grabbed Harry and pulled him out, panting. I dove through the hole in the ice, grabbed the sword and brought it to the surface. I muttered a charm that dried everyone off, I grabbed the water, put out the fire and went over to Harry and Ron. Except one thing. They were gone. (I know they wouldn't have done that but plot twist)
I followed a path in the forest, I eventually got to their camp. The TARDIS tent (comment if you understand that) was set up in the center of the clearing, Hermione was currently yelling at Ron, she looked over his shoulder and saw me. Her eyes were filled with rage,
"PERSEUS JACKSON!" *insert flinch at full name* "HOW DARE YOU JUST WALK INTO THIS CAMP WITH HIM! HARRY AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE NEVER COMING BACK! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW UPSET HARRY WAS WHEN YOU LEFT! IT WAS LIKE HE LOST HIS OWN BROTHER!"
'Still haven't told her' I said to Harry, via mind link.
'Nope, and I'm assuming Ron doesn't know?'
'No!'
'Good, you do know I'm angry at you for leaving.'
'Yep. But it was the locket's fault both Ron and I left. Don't only blame us.'
"Come on Hermione, they saved me after I tried to get the sword from the lake, pond, what would it be? A lake or a pond? Whatever, that's beside the point. I found the sword of Gryffindor in that little lake over there and I dove in, tried to get the sword but the locket tried to choke me when I touched the sword. Ron dove in and got me out while Percy grabbed the sword."
I held out the goblin made sword for Hermione to see. She gaped at it,
"Now we can destroy the locket!" (I know this isn't how it happened but it works better with my story line)
"No duh" I said,
"Well do you have an idea?" Hermione asked,
""Well, since the locket belonged to Slytherin, and You Know Who was his descendant and the locket has a snake on it maybe you open it with parseltongue." Hermione looked shocked when I finished.
"Ready Harry?" Harry nodded and opened the locket,
"Ron, get the sword, and stab the locket,"
(I'm not going into details for this scene.)
Ron took the sword from the ground and stabbed the locket where instead of a picture there was an eye. A cloud of smoke and a hissing noise filled the air, the locket was blackened and burned. Harry shoved it into his rucksack.
"See, it worked!" I gave Hermione an 'I told you so' grin,
"Fine. Your plan worked, I'll give you that. Now what?"
"Well, the first horcrux is destroyed, we have to find another. Okay, so the ring, the diary, the locket. Dumbledore showed me some memories before he died. Volde-" Ron and I cut Harry off,
"Don't say his name!" we shouted,
"-mort-" there was a crack as the protective shields vanished and snatchers apparated into the campsite.
"RUN!" Hermione yelled, she shot a hex at Harry's face to make him unrecognizable. Ron and I ran as fast as we could, I could run pretty fast from camp training but they caught up with me when I slowed down.
"Who are you, beautiful." a snatcher asked Hermione,
"Penelope Clearwater, halfblood." she said without hesitating,
"Barney Weasley, pureblood." Ron said,
"Vernon Dudley, halfblood." Harry said, I couldn't come up with a fake name so I used a combo of names from camp.
"Grover Di Angelo, halfblood." I said,
"Ay Greyback, look at this!" a snatcher called, he pulled the sword of Gryffindor from Hermione's purse.
"Nice, who's is it?"
"Mine," Harry said,
"And how did you afford it?"
"My dad works for the Ministry, we use it to fight bears." Harry lied quickly.
"What's that, on your forehead?" Greyback asked Harry, his hair had moved showing his scar. I flattened my hair so that my scar would be hidden.
"Nothing." Harry said, Greyback moved Harry's hair, revealing the scar that was stretched out.
"It could be Potter. And you look like this pretty girl don't you." a snatcher brandished a Daily Prophet at us, a picture of Hermione was on the cover under the caption:
Hermione Granger
Known Muggleborn
Known to be traveling with Harry Potter
"What are you talking about, that's not me!"
"Looks an awful lot like you. Change of plans, we're going to Malfoy Manor." the next thing I knew was that we were in the middle of an enormous living room.
"Tell us Draco," a female voice said, "Is it Potter?"
"I can't tell for sure," Malfoy said uncertainty. "It might be. But she's definitely the Granger girl."
A strangled scream came from the corner,
"Where did you get this?!" Bellatrix asked us, "How did you break into my vault!"
"We didn't it's a fake!" Hermione said,
"What else did you take!"
"Nothings, it's a fake." Hermione said again.
"Leave her, take the others to the cellar." Bellatrix ordered.
We were shoved into the cellar,
"Hello?" a dreamy voice called, "Who's there?"
"Luna?" Harry said in disbelief.
"Harry? Mr. Ollivander, where's the nail?"
"Over here dear." Luna came over holding a rusty nail,
"Luna in my pocket there's a deluminator, if you click it it will light any lamps there might be here."
Luna clicked the deluminator and little spheres of light floated in the air.
"Who are you?" she asked me,
"I'm Percy Jackson." I told her, "I've been travelling with Harry, Ron and Hermione."
"Oh. It's nice to meet you." she said, cutting the ropes binding my hands and feet with Ron, Harry, and Dean. Hermione's screams echoed through the basement, Ron clenched the bars so hard that I thought they would break. Harry was looking into his two way mirror,
"Help us, we're at Malfoy Manor." he whispered. He stuck the mirror back into his pocket.
The goblin, Griphook, who was also in the basement was called upstairs.
"Please tell them it's a fake." Harry asked him, Griphook gave no indication that he heard Harry as he walked up the stairs. I heard Bellatrix ask if the sword was genuine or not, Griphook's reply was muffled, a crack sounded and a small voice sounded,
"Harry Potter, sir?" Dobby's great big tennis ball eyes looked at Harry.
"Dobby?"
"Yes, I was told you needed help at the home of my old masters." Dobby squeaked. Harry Ron and I hid next to the door next time a man with a silver hand (haha that rhymes) opened the door. We shoved him to the ground, he tried to choke Harry, but Harry said:
"Remember Wormtail, you owe me. Life debt(spelling?)." 'Wormtail' slowly took his hand away, and it moved towards his own neck. Strangling him, what had saved Harry killed 'Wormtail'. We raced p the stairs and into the living room(?).
"Expelliarmus!" Harry shouted, I shot Malfoy's mother with expelliarmus.Dobby took her wand when it was in midair.
"You filthy little monkey!" Bellatrix screeched, "How dare you take a witch's wand! How dare you defy your masters!"
Dobby glared angrily at her,
"Dobby has no master, Dobby is a free elf!" He grabbed mine, Harry's, Ron's, Luna's, Hermione's, Dean's, Mr. Ollivander's, and Griphook's arms and apparated off to Shell Cottage. We landed on the beach, Dobby was in Harry's arms, a dagger stuck in his chest. He was muttering to Harry, saying how he was happy to die in such a beautiful place with his friends. We ended up burying Dobby with a gravestone saying 'Here Lies Dobby, A Free Elf'.
