Percy and Nico Undercover at Hogwarts

Chapter Fifty

The next few chapters are going to have scenes from the movie, so credit belongs where it is due.

Percy's POV

Today was the day. May 5th. Cinco de Mayo. The day of the final task. The day we face Voldemort.

I looked over at Harry who was talking with the Weasley's. That when I saw him.

Well, it was Nico who saw him.

He nudged me and pointed to a man walking out of the crowd towards us.

"Isn't that your dad?" He asked and my head snapped up, following his finger.

"Perseus," my father said when he neared us.

"Dad," I said, confused, yet happy. "What are you doing here?"

"Can't I wish my son good luck before he sets off to prevent a war?" he asked and I gulped.

"Well, yeah, I just didn't expect to see you here. I knew Apollo was here, bu-."

"Did I hear my name?" my godly cousin asked, entering the conversation. "We need to talk a-." Dad cut him off.

"In a moment, nephew. Let me talk with my son. Tell Nico everything needs to know then talk to Percy," he said and Apollo took Nico by the elbow, pulling him away so we could each have our own conversation.

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked my dad and he smiled and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"I just wanted to tell you that I am proud of you and that I trust you will do well in this task."

I couldn't help the smile that came to my face. My father was proud of me and he trusted me not to fail.

"I would also like to congratulate you on your choice in partner," he said, making me blush. "You could've defiantly picked worse." I took that as a compliment to Nico, knowing that he could've said much ruder things.

"Thank you, Dad. That means a lot to hear you say that."

His smile widened and he pulled me into a hug. "Good luck, Perseus. I'm betting on you." With that, he turned and walked towards Apollo, grabbing Nico and talking to him as Apollo headed towards me.

Oh gods, poor Neeks.

"So, Nico knows about his part in this, now let's talk about yours."

Harry's POV

I was talking with the Weasley's, who were wishing me good luck. I looked over at Percy who was talking alone with a man, even though it was just him and Nico a moment ago.

"Hermione," I said, elbowing the overly curious girl. "Who do you recon that is?" I asked, gesturing to the man talking with Percy.

She stared at them for a moment. "I think that's his father."

"They do look alike," I said, noticing how they had the same black hair, tan skin and strong jawline.

A few moments later, Percy's father walked towards Nico and pulled him way from Apollo. He looked terrified.

"Wonder what they're talking about," I said but Hermione shook her head.

"I'm more curious as to what Professor Apollo and Percy are talking about."
