Percy Jackson/Harry Potter

chapter#19

Ron's POV

 we planned on cornering Percy after everyone went to bed. Percy usually stayed longer to do his schoolwork(still cant believe i wrote that he works in school). we waited in the corner of the room taking turns watching Percy to see if he left.

 if i didn't know better, i would say that Percy knew that we were watching him.he kept on rolling his eyes and chuckling under his breath.

after midnight, we were the only 4 people left. we looked at each other to give the signal: a nod. we turned to go talk to him and found him standing right in front of us. i jumped a little, so did Harry. i could tell Hermione didn't want to follow through with her plan.

"ummm uhhh well..." Harry spluttered.

Percy just stood there waiting for us to talk. i couldn't take it anymore. i stood up and said, "guys, i don't really think that Percy is a deatheater. i'm on his side on this one."

percy pushed me a little so i sat down. "Ron, not that i don't appreciate it, but you should stay on their side. you've been their friend for waaayy longer than me. what is a deatheater anyway??"

Hermione cleared her throat, "a deatheater is someone who is out to take over the castle for evil purposes. they have the dark mark on their arm to symbolize that they are part of the group and to contact the rest of them, and we saw your mark today while you were swimming."

a look of realization crossed his face

. 'oh no' i thought. 'he IS a deatheater'

"oh that. no i don't think it's the same as what you're talking about. i've never seen a dark mark, but this is just a tattoo i saw in a Roman mythology book." he reached out his arm

harry flinched when Percy held out his arm. we all looked at his forearm. there was a symbol along with 2 lines and SPQR on it.

"whoahh!!" i said, looking at it. it was an awesome tattoo. at least in my opinion. i heard Harry and Hermione sigh in relief

"that's awesome" Harry said. " i was worried that i lost a good friend."

Percy smiled, "well, now that that is cleared up, i am going to go to bed. see you in the morning." and he headed up the stairs.

i turned to them "told you guys he wasn't a deatheater. i'm headed to bed, too."

"wait!" Hermione said, i turned "i don't think that he was telling the whole truth. i don't think that he's a deatheater, but i know he's hiding something. that tatto looked burned into his skin, and kind of like a branding mark. i'm going to find out what they're hiding."

Harry and i agreed to keep an eye on them. i knew that they were hiding something, but i really didn't care. it was their business. i was going to treat Percy the same as always. after all, what were friends for?
