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

Chapter 17 - Deep End

I've never struggled so much on a chapter before.

The following morning notes were delivered to Percy, Hermione, Harry, and Ron at the breakfast table. They were all the same:

Your detention will take place at eleven o'clock tonight. Meet Mr.Filch in the entrance hall.

Under that was Professor McGonagall's curly signature.

"I wonder what he's gonna make you guys do?" asked Layla, happy that she doesn't have to participate in this.

Percy thought about it for a minute, no way it would be worse than the punishments back at Camp. This would probably be a walk in the park for him.

Layla wanted to see what would happen to them if they skipped detention, but Harry was going on about how they deserved this. Hermione completely agreed with him.

At eleven o'clock that night, they said goodbye to Layla in the common room and went down to the entrance hall. Filch was already there waiting for them and to the right of him was there good pale Draco Malfoy. Percy had forgotten that Malfoy had detention, with them.

Percy gave him a look to stay away. It was really all cause of him that were in this situation.

"Follow me," said Filch, lighting a lamp and leading them outside.

"I bet you'll think twice about breaking a school rule again, won't you, eh?" he said, leering at them.

"Yeah I'll be sure to think about that," Percy said out loud without even realizing it, he didn't care though.

"Hmph, you'll need to be taught a proper lesson... hard work and pain are the best teachers if you ask me...It's a pity they let the old punishments die out...hang you by your wrists from the ceiling for a few days -"

Percy cut him off "I would take that over spend time with you,"

Filch stopped in his steps and put the lantern right in his face.

"I've got the chains still in my office, keep 'em well oiled in case they're ever needed..."

Percy wasn't scared of this guy. "You're weird," he said walking over to Hermione and Ron.

"What are you doing?" Ron hissed at him

"Nothing,"

"You're going to make it worse for the rest of us,"

"Calm down," Percy said "His not going to do anything."

In fact, Filch didn't say a word after that. He only led them through the dark grounds. Percy realized they were going to Hagid's. He has been here every morning practicing and sometimes he would stop at Hagid's to see how he was doing with Norbert.

"We're going to Hagrid's," Percy whispered to Harry

Harry said in a low voice "How do you know?"

"I remember this area," he said

They walked over a small hill and in the distance they could see Hagrid's in the distance. Harry opened his mouth.

"Are we going to Hagrid's?"

Filch replied even more grumpy "Yes,"

Percy saw Harry's face light up with a big smile. Percy couldn't help but smile with him. This detention was going to be great. The only person who didn't look happy was Malfoy, but when is he ever happy when he's not bullying some kid.

Hagrid came striding toward them out of the dark, Fang alongside him. He was carrying a long crossbow, and a quiver of arrows hung over his shoulder.

Percy hoped he would have to shoot, knowing his archery skills.
