Percy Jackson in the Wizarding World The: Sorcerer's Lightning Bolt

Chapter 11 - The Hangover

Percy woke up perfectly fine that morning. He, Harry, and Ron got up early to go to Hagrid's.

They were waiting on the nice sofas by the fireplace for the girls. Hermione walked down the stairs all ready for their adventure.

"Where Layla?" Percy asked

"Um, she's alive if that's what you mean," Hermione said ominously

"Huh"

"She woke up with a really bad headache and said her stomach was hurting. Then she ran to the bathroom and threw up - a lot."

"Dam I guess she's hungover then," said Percy

"What? How?" said Harry

"Last night was crazy, everyone was drinking and partying. I think Lauren jumped off a table into a pool of water that I made," said Percy remembering that night he wouldn't forget "You guys should have been there."

"No thank you," Hermione said quickly

"Why aren't you hungover then?" said Ron

"Oh no I don't drink," Percy said feeling a shiver through his body "Bad memories."

"How could you let her get so drunk," Harry said "You knew that we have to go to Hagrid's in the morning. Now we're going to be late"

"Jeez Harry calm down," Percy said "It's not like I can control her. And look she's right there."

Layla walked down the stairs like a toddler learning how to walk aging.

Her first words were "Ugh why is it so bright,"

She made her way to the sofa and sat next to Percy.

"Lauren gave me something to drink saying it would help with the hangover. And let me tell you it does not help," said Layla shaking her head "I'm never going to drink aging."

"Ok great, come on, let's go," Harry ushered them to get up

"You know what Harry I think I'll sit this one out," said Layla

"You sure," Percy asked her

She nodded her head closed her eyes and gave them a thumbs up.

"Alright, can we go now?" said Harry

They got to Hagrid's doorstep begging to get in and out of the cold. Hagrid opened the door and made them a cup of warm tea.

They told him about Snape and how he was cursing Harry's broomstick.

"Rubbish," said Hagrid "Why would Snape do somethin' like that?"

Percy, Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at one another, wondering what to tell him. Harry decided on the truth.

"I found out something about him," he told Hagrid. "He tried to get past that three-headed dog on Halloween. It bit him. We think he was trying to steal whatever it's guarding."

Hagrid dropped the teapot

"How do you know about Fluffy?" he said

"Fluffy?"

"Yeah his mine bought him off some bloke I met in the pub last year - I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the..."

"Yes?" said Harry eagerly.

"Don't ask me anymore," said Hagrid, "Top secret, that is."

"But Snape is trying to steal it." Percy pleaded

"Eh, it th' funn..." Hagrid got cut off by Percy

"If you say that I smell funny one more time I swear. I don't even smell." Percy lifted his arm and smelled his armpit, and then Ron came in and took a whiff.

"No he actually smells good," said Ron "He smells like... I don't know... it's."

Then Harry also took a turn taking a small sniff "He does smell surprisingly good."

Sure Percy knew that wasn't the smell Hagrid was talking about but hopefully this would throw him off track. Percy put his arm down "Thank you guys for that. No if we're done smelling me can we get back to Snape and how he's trying to kill Harry."

"No wait," said Hermione with her thinking face, "I think I might know where the smell is from."

Percy lifted his arm one more time and from a distance, Hermione picked up the scent "He smells like - the beach."

"You said you love the ocean and the beach and you're really good at water magic but suck at everything else." she talked to herself "And you..."

Hagrid's eyes lit up chuckling he said "Good at water magic eh?"

Well, that plan sucked, Hermione just ruined his plan, and now Hagrid knows who his dad is, and even worse Hermione knows something is different with him. Great way to start a day.

Harry and Ron looked beyond confused about what was happening. Percy needed to change the subject away from himself.

"Hagrid, look Snape just tried to kill Harry, there is no way you can defend after that."

"That a load of Rubbish," said Hagrid once again. "Snape's a Hogwarts teacher, he'd do nothin' of the sort."

Hermione spoke breaking away from her deep thought "I know a jinx when I see one, Hagrid, I've read all about them. You've got to keep eye contact, and Snape was blinking at all, I saw him."

"And I'm telln' yeh, yer wrong," said Hagrid hotly. "I don't know why Harry's broom acted like that, but Snape wouldn't try an' kill a student! Now, listen to me, all three of yeh - yer meddlin' in things that don't concern yeh. You forget that dog, an' you forget what it's guardin', that's between Professor Dumbledore an' Nicolas Flamel-"

"Aha!" said Harry, "so there's someone called Nicolas Flemel involved."

Hagrid looked furious with himself.

Percy couldn't wait to get out of that hut he didn't feel comfortable inside the hut. They hurried back to the common room which still only had Layla in the same place they found her.

Harry quickly told her everything they found out at Hagrid's.

"Ok," said Layla "So if we find out who this Flemel guy is will know what the dog is guarding.

"Oh, and this piece of paper came by when you all were gone. It's if you want to stay at Hogwarts for winter break."

"Sign me up," said Harry "More time away from the Dursley the better. Huh, Percy, there's a letter for you at the bottom of the paper."

Percy went over to see what Harry was talking about and sure enough there was a letter that had his name written on it. He opened it up reading

If you want to go to America for winter break and see your family you are more than welcome to, if you want to, sign your name at the bottom and put it back in the envelope. - from Professor McGonagall.

Percy instantly signed his name at the bottom and put it back. He was smiling as he was going to see his family in 5 days.
