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

Chapter 14 - A is for Arson D is for Dragon

Percy woke up early in the morning when the sun was barely showing. He put on a Camp Half-Blood shirt. Walking out of the castle he headed for the lake the same one he crossed on the day he arrived at Hogwarts. He squinted his eyes looking around him in the distance he could see the glow of Hagrid's hut. He dipped his feet in the cold dark water.

He took off his shirt and threw it to the side, walk deeper into the lake, fully submersed, he held his breath, not knowing if he could breathe in these waters. Trusting himself he let out a breath and took one in, just like normal. He relaxed the water calmed him down, fixing his thoughts.

He swam towards the bottom of the lake, Hermione taught him about the sea creatures that live in this lake, many of them were dangerous, so he picked a spot where he didn't sense any creatures, allowing him to practice in peace.

Touching his two feet at the lake bottom he took out Riptide, its Celestial bronze glow in the dark. Swinging it around it moved just like it did on land. Even better actually. He was warming up his strokes like spraying WD-40 on a door hinge. He increased the force of the water-resistance around him so that he would have to put more power in moving side to side and in his swing. This would make him faster and stronger on land, Chrion was the one who taught him this trick.

Percy kicked up breaking through the surface his head popped up in the middle of the lake. He swam to the shore, looking for where he lifted his shirt. Drying himself off instantly he missed the touch of the water. He put on his shirt and started walking back from where he came from.

"Oi, Jackson whacha doing here?" Hagrid called from a distance

"Oh, Hagrid," Percy said thinking there was no point in lying anymore to him "I went for a swim."

Hagrid came closer, and now Percy could see him clearly in low light. He was holding two beat-up books in his right hand.

"I didn't know your kind could read," Percy said pointing to the books

"Hmh oh yeah jus' a little something," Hagrid said patting the books "Ya a child of the gods then?"

"Yeah," Percy said clutching riptide

"No need to worry 'bout me I ain' like my relatives," Hagrid said

Percy relaxed somewhat maybe he didn't need to be so worried he did know there were some good giants. 

"Hmh alright," Percy said "Sea you round Hagrid."

Percy walked away going back to the Gryffindor common room. He opened the portrait door as quietly as possible. Luckily no one was around. Swiftly going up the stairs, seeing that his dorm was still asleep. He hoped he might be able to get a nice nap.

Literally, five minutes later Harry woke up stretching and yawning like a newborn dolphin.

"Trying to sleep here," Percy said

"Sorry," Harry said "Never seen you awake this early before,"

"You woke me up,"

"No way that woke you up I do that every day,"

"Shut up," Ron groaned 

Percy got up he couldn't go back to sleep now. He was getting ready for the school day when he realized he had no clean clothes to wear, oh well he looked through his pile of clothes and chose the one that stinks the least. 

Percy was in the middle of Potions class with Layla they were reaching the twelve uses of dragon blood. Percy was pretending to read the book flipping the page every time Snape finished his lap around the classroom.
