Percy Jackson, Grandson of Voldemort

Chapter Ocho!!!

Chapter 8

"So. Hufflepuff." Ron said as he broke the silence in the common room. Everyone else had settled into bed, but the golden trio stayed in the common room next to the fire once everyone had left, partially to avoid rude comments from Seamus and partially to talk about Percy's sorting.

"Hufflepuff," Harry confirmed.

"See." Hermione huffed. "He's not in Slytherin, not that that means anything."

"But how did he get into Hufflepuff? Hufflepuff isn't brave, cunning, or smart. He has to be one of those at least."

"I have to agree with Hermione here mate. He's not in Slytherin, so he can't be that bad."

"But Hufflepuff?"

"Maybe he's just really loyal," Hermione said.

"Really loyal to Voldemort," Harry muttered.

"Mate, we know you don't trust Percy, but he might turn out to be a cool guy. Fred and George seem to like him."

"Just give him a chance Harry. Even if he was in Slytherin, that doesn't mean he's allied with you-know-who." Hermione then got up and walked into the girl's dormitory. Ron did the same but went to the boy's. Harry stayed by the fireplace. It was becoming like last year. His friends just didn't get what he was saying.

There was a loud screech as the owls descended into the halls, delivering packages and letters to the students. A large horned owl descended right onto Percy's head and started pecking insistently, causing a few snickers from the Hufflepuff table.

"Aww, Tiffany's making a nest in your head!" a Ravenclaw said as she took the owl off of Percy's head and took the letter out of its grasp.

"Go back to your table Marietta," remarked the fourth year.

"What can I say? Maybe Tiffany landed on this guy's head because I'm destined to be with him," Marietta said with a flirtatious smile.

"Sorry, but I already have a girlfriend," Percy said with a blush.

"Bummer. All the cute boys are already taken," she said with a pout.

"Return to your table Miss Edgecombe," the head of house said as she came by with the schedules.

"Do I have to Professor Sprout?"

"Go." Marietta took her owl and left with a smirk. "Miss Edgecomb is always coming and flirting with the boys. She used to come to the Hufflepuff table all the time with Miss Chang before Mr. Diggory died." She said this with a sad smile. "Are you faring well, Mr. Jackson? If any of my students ever give you trouble, don't be afraid to come to me. I can be quite fearsome if it's required."

"Believe her," a nearby student said as joined the conversation, "I once tried to swipe a few of the plants in the greenhouse. Not a good idea," Percy said with a shake of his head.

"None of my housemates have been anything but friendly towards me Professor Sprout," Percy said truthfully. His housemates had surprised him with how friendly and welcoming they had been. Usually, when he entered a new school, the rest of the students weren't exactly the nicest leading towards less than favorable school experiences.

"That's exactly what I like to hear," Professor Sprout replied with a smile, "Here's your schedule. I hope you enjoy your classes," she said before she walked off, handing the rest of the schedules out.

Percy looked at his schedule. He had most of his classes with the Gryffindors, but a few occasional ones with the Slytherins, and one with the Ravenclaws. Today he had Transfiguration with the Slytherins, double Potions with the Gryffindors, double Defense Against the Dark Arts with the Gryffindors, and something called Divination.

"Settle down," said Snape coldly, shutting the door behind him. The class had just started, and he made a dramatic entrance.

"Sevvy?!" Percy called out as Snape entered the room. "Oh, my gods! I didn't know this is where you went all year!" Percy didn't expect to see the son of Athena at Hogwarts.

"Don't call me that during school. I am Professor Snape to you from now on." Snape said with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Whatever you say, Sevvy." Percy said tauntingly, stressing out Snape's nickname. Snape groaned and started lecturing the class. After a lengthy explanation of exams with a few well place glares at some of his students, Snape finally got them started on their potions with almost no explanation on how to do them. That got Percy thinking. Snape is trying to teach kids how to do potions, and yet he only wrote down instructions. It's like giving someone a cookbook and expecting them to make perfect blue chocolate cookies without any explanation. That isn't very good. Percy had once done that and had burned his hands in the oven, got dough everywhere, and almost flooded the kitchen. Good times.

"Sevvy. How do you expect us to learn anything when all we have are instructions?" Percy asked. Snape groaned when Percy said Sevvy, but answered the question.

"The instructions clearly explain how to do the potion so that even dunderheads like you can do it."

"Why do you have to teach us anything then?"

"Excuse me?"

"If the instructions clearly explain how to make potions so that even we can make them, then why do you have to teach us? According to you, we can pick up any potions book with instructions and then complete the potion with no problem as long as we follow the instructions."

Snape, in a burst of uncharacteristic action, started banging his head against the wall. He's going to have to rethink his whole life.

It's short, but it's here! I'm wondering if y'all like my two oc's. I can add more of them if you like them, or just keep them as random background characters to throw in when I need someone that's not Percy and the golden trio talking. 

Remember! Reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, bye!

UPDATE: Ignore the an about ocs. there are now no ocs.
