Percy Jackson X Harry Potter

ONE: That Dreaded Night

3rd Person POV

PERCY'S MACARONI AND CHEESE wasn't as appealing after the door broke down.

Of course, everything was going fine beforehand – Lily Potter was rushing around trying to clean up the stray splatters of cheese sauce. Percy's twin brother Harry was sitting next to him minding his own business. James Potter was sitting at the table, watching them play with their food.

And this comfort HAD to go down the drain when a muffled voice – not anyone Percy knew – shouted a phrase Percy did not understand. From what he heard, it sounded like "Bombard-something!". Immediately after, a loud CRASH echoed down the hallway. Lily wordlessly stood up with a worried expression, listening.

'James,' she called. 'James!'

James vacated his chair and rushed to her side. Several more BANGs and CRASHes were heard from the hallway. Lily and James looked at each other, then turned to their twin sons. Lily lifted them one by one out of their chairs onto the floor.

'Percy. Harry.' Lily bent down and put one hand on each of their shoulders. 'I need you to go upstairs. Get your Portkeys, but DON'T activate them yet. Only if you're in serious danger. Remember what we talked about. I love both of you more than you could know.' She hugged both of them, one brother in each arm, and gave them a gentle nudge over to the stairs, which led to their bedroom. 'Don't worry. We'll handle this.'

Percy and Harry looked at each other and ran.

What's going on? I'm scared. Harry asked him through their twin link.

Don't be. Mum and Dad will be fine. He replied. Percy was reassuring himself as much as his brother. Harry seemed to calm down slightly, but Percy could tell he was still nervous.

They reached their room. The twins both tugged the top drawer open and brought out their Portkeys – Harry's was a small keychain with a rubber Vauxhall Vectra car on it (for some reason), and Percy's was a large white seashell. Then they heard a strangled scream from downstairs.

'Oh no,' Percy whispered, horrified. He was on the verge of tears. 'Was that Mum? What the hell is happening?'

'Language!' Harry whined.

'Har-Bear.' Percy was breathing heavily. 'I think we should bail.'

'I don't want to leave you! The Portkeys take us to different places?' Harry was hyperventilating. The crashes were becoming louder, and they were clearly man-made.

'Harry.' Percy stared at his brother. 'When you're... sixteen, I'll find you. I promise.' Percy could feel how Harry didn't want to abandon him, but neither twin had a choice. 'Don't forget me.'

Someone was coming upstairs, and they both knew it wasn't either of their parents. Shaking, Harry sighed, defeated.

'Okay. I- I'll be waiting.' he said.

They said their goodbyes as the door was blasted off its hinges, and activated their Portkeys, sending them off to different corners of the world.
