Percy Potter

Chapter Twenty-Five

I yawned, waking up when I felt something move on my chest, probably Gizar. I stretched my arms up and started to pet him when I snatched my hand back and jerking upright, snapping my eyes open. I was met with two pairs of yellow-slitted eyes. I sighed and rubbed them both on the head, causing their tongues to flicker in and out with pleasure. I smirked slightly at them and looked over at my twin. He was snuggled up close to my left side, while all of the snakes were either on my body or surrounding my right side. Gizar was lightly purring where my head would have been. I smiled and figured I'd fix our new arrangements; I silently slipped out of the room after all the snakes got situated on my person. I quickly walked through all of the rooms, putting the snakes' memories to good use. I crept back into our bedroom, and cast terrorem on Harry, so I would be alerted when he awoke. Creeping back out, I started to change our new home. I casted colovaria on all of the colored objects, as to change the Slytherin-esque designs to those of Gryffindor. I cleaned up all of the dust and scratches with a quick reditum charm. I cast frigore flamma upon the flames in the fireplace so that Harry wouldn't be hurt upon accidentally touching them, it would work as another place for the snakes too. I looked around and dubbed it good enough, I never was a big one for decoration. I walked back to our room to wake up Harry. I felt a small smile crawl on my face when I saw him sleeping with his mouth open a little bit. I gently shook his shoulders. "Harry... Harry... Harry, time to wake up." He groaned and rolled over, pulling the sheets closer to him. I chuckled and lifted him up, making his eyes shoot open in surprise. "Awake now?" I smirked in his face and he sighed. "Whatever Perce." I tousled his hair and set him down, starting to walk out of the room, with Gizar the cat following me. "Get ready and then we can go upstairs for breakfast. We have about fifteen minutes until it starts." Hazza spluttered and practically sprinted into the bathroom while I laughed at his panicked face. I walked into the 'living room' and sat on one of the couches, laying my head onto the back of the couch. One snake hissed quietly and moved so he wouldn't fall off from my head. Gizar nuzzled me from my side and I chuckled and pet him quietly, zoning out.
Fifteen minutes later, Harry comes sprinting out of our bathroom with wet wild hair, partially skewed glasses, a messed up tie, and untied shoes, trying to get me moving. I smirk and sit up slowly, watching him pant with scared eyes as I raise my hand. "Come- on- Percy, we- gotta go." I snap my fingers, smirk still plastered to my lips. Harry, Gizar, two of the snakes, and I am transported to just outside of the Great Hall while Harry's things had been fixed and the other snakes were inside of the safe fire. Harry narrowed his eyes and quickly got his breathe back. "Why didn't you just do that sooner? I wouldn't have had to rush through getting ready." I nodded my head, looking thoughtful. "You're right, I could have. But would that have been as fun?" I flashed my troublemaker smirk at a glaring Hazza and walked into the Great Hall, knowing he would follow me, eventually. Quite a few people stopped eating and looked at me upon my entry, but I didn't pay them any mind and continued on my way to my table, grabbing a spot for Harry with quick spacial covering spell. I gently fed Gizar and played with him in his golden kitten form until about a minute later and Harry came in. How did I know? A few people ceased talking at my table and remained silent until I felt Harry near my shoulder. I released the spell and gestured for him to sit down, turning to smirk at him quickly. Gizar happily hopped into his lap once he sat down and nuzzled his stomach. Harry chuckled and pet him, while I piled food on his plate. One of the snakes slithered up my shoulder and hissed near my ear. The people sitting next to me quickly scooted away at the sight of them. 'We are hungry speaker. Do you have food for us as well?' I laughed at my stupidity and nodded. 'Yeah, one sec. I forgot that I should feed you guys now. I will also pop some fat rats into our home. Do you prefer alive or dead?' The snake asked his brother and they both hissed to me. 'Alive ones for our brothers while dead ones for us please.' I nodded and smiled, snapping my fingers quietly. The two snakes swallowed the rats quickly and wrapped tighter around my abdomen in comfort. I telepathically told the snakes in the fire of the rats and materialized a couple fat ones for them in the outside chamber. I felt their gratitude as they most likely started their hunts, following the panicked rats' scents. My mind wandered back to the war and the gods, wondering what they were doing now, while I waited for Harry to finish eating. It was rather odd. I had been in Hecate's Wizarding World for about a week and Zeus hadn't gotten annoyed. Hera probably reminded him of what my job was. I'll most likely have to leave school in order to fix their mistakes. I wonder how I'll explain that to Minerva, the strict woman. She'll ne- Percy. As much as I find it funny you think Headmistress is strict and old, we have to get to Potions. I smoothly jumped up next to Harry as he started walking out. Sorry Hazza. I smiled sheepishly at him and grabbed Gizar as he jumped from Harry's shoulder into my arms. He purred in my arms as Harry and I descended into the Slytherins' territory, the dungeons.
