Harry's POV
'YOU LOOK TIRED.' Harry remarked as he stuffed another lump of chicken and gravy into his mouth. Percy was sitting directly behind him at the Hufflepuff table, chewing on a piece of bread. So much for dinner.
His brother wasn't trying to hide the fact that he was sleep deprived. His head was resting in his hand. His eyes were droopy. Earlier, he had decided that the middle of a Transfiguration class would be the ideal time and place to fall asleep.
'You don't say.' His voice sounded like Batman.
'Did you not get much sleep last night?' he asked.
Percy looked at him. 'Not really. My messed-up dream-self decided to pull himself into the deepest pits of hell to have a conversation with a random dude on a duck floatie.'
Harry snorted. 'Duck floatie?'
'Yeah.' Percy mumbled. 'He didn't have a nose, for some reason. Or hair. And he was all-'
'Pale and grimy? With a... With a black cloak?' Harry sighed, remembering last night's dream. 'What was his name, dare I ask?'
His brow furrowed. 'Mouldy-something. I don't know. Might've started with a V. Or an F.'
'...I think you're talking about the man that killed our parents, Percy.'
His eyes widened. 'Oh. That guy. Right. Umm... I- Yeah, you did tell me about him in the Leaky Caldron.' He cleared his throat. 'But I, uhh, kind of forgot about that whole conversation, so I didn't think it was important.'
Harry raised an eyebrow.
'Though, now that I think about it, he did mention crossing the River Cocky-tuss to return to his mortal life and commit several acts of murder. In around four-and-a-half days from now.'
'Percy!'
'What?' Percy prompted.
'Several acts of murder on whom?!'
He gulped. 'You. Along with the entirety of wizard-kind. But mainly you. He's probably still on the floatie right now.'
'So you're saying we all have a strong possibility of dying five days from now.'
'Yep.'
Harry took a deep breath. 'This is... quite the predicament.'
'Mhm.'
He sighed. 'Damn.'
Percy nodded, regretfully. 'Dam indeed.'

Wow. This story – my very first story – has reached THREE THOUSAND reads.
I am shocked. I have had a Wattpad account for one month as I write this, and I did not expect that many reads in such a short period of time.
Sure, in other people's standards, 3k is barely anything. But my standards are lower than my grades, so I'm happy.

OKAY NEVERMIND
It's been one day since I wrote that last note, and I'm on 5K.
I'm speechless.
Thank you for all of your support, and I'll see you in the next chapters!
