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

Chapter 16 - Long Nights

This took many long nights to write

Percy was sitting on the couch with the gang. He returned from the mysterious room a while ago and was in shock. From the moment, his mom told him about her pregnancy, all those days ago, he had been preparing himself to be the best big brother in the whole world. Now he is the worst brother possible.

"What are we waiting for, again?" Percy asked

"For Layla," said Harry "We just went over this."

"Oh, yeah I forgot,"

"Are you alright," asked Hermione "You look stressed."

"I'm fine," Percy said then he yawned stretching his arms to the sky "Just - tired,"

The clock on the wall had just chimed midnight and Percy's eyes were having trouble staying open. Just then the Portrait door flipped open and came in a limping Layla.

"Hagrid needs to get some help!"

"What did he do this time?" Ron asked

"Norbert bit my foot and Hagrid said it was my fault," Layla complained plopping down on the couch "I'm so done with all this,"

"Well you're in luck," Harry said waving a piece of paper in his hand "I just got Charlie's answer."

Everyone but Percy put their heads together to read the note. Percy feeling left out took out his pen and flipped it between his fingers. Layla was right he thought, he was so done with this school year.

Once they finished reading the letter, they looked at each other, they meant everyone but Percy.

"We've got the invisibility clock," said Harry "It shouldn't be too hard - I think the cloak's big enough to cover us and Norbert."

"No way the cloak can't cover more than two people and Norbert," said Layla "I shouldn't go my limp will only slow you guys down."

"Ok, then," said Harry turning to Hermione and Ron, "It's just us then."

"Dude, you know right here," Percy said rolling his eyes

"Oh yeah," Harry said "Forgot you were here,"

"I think Ron should go," said Layla "It is his brother after all,"

"Yeah, and I haven't seen him in ages,"

"And it is my cloak," said Harry "So I should go."

"Ok," said Hermione "Harry and Ron will go on Saturday night and put an end to all this,"

They all nodded in agreement. Calling it for the night they headed off to their beds.

Percy felt left out today because he missed his sister's birth, and then his friends left him out of the discussion. Was it cause he couldn't read, so they thought he was stupid and wouldn't know what to do? Annabeth always told him he was best when it came to strategies.

He took the picture of Estella and put it on his nightstand so that when he woke up she would be the first thing he seas.

By the next morning, Percy had pushed away his thoughts from last night. He remembered that they were his friends and wouldn't think that of him.

Layla on the other hand was in worse shape her bitten foot had swollen to twice the size and had turned to a nasty shade of green. They didn't know if it was safe to go to Madam Pomfrey, would she recognize a dragon bite? But they had no choice.

Percy and Ron supported Layla on each side as she hopped to the hospital wing on one foot.

later that day Percy and Hermione rushed up after class to find Layla in an even worse condition in bed.
