A MEETING OF TWO WORLDS( PERCY AND HARRY)

PERCY'S SUSPICION

It was five in the morning, Percy lay awake in his bed. He wasn't able to sleep the whole night. He had freaked out after what happened the previous night. He kept on wondreing why Harry was screaming  the name Cedric. Whatever it was, something didn't seem right to Percy. To add to that, there was an owl in this boy's room. How many mortals keep owls as pets? There was something else too, this family treated the boy like he was a servant and not their relative. Where were his parents? 

Percy was really bothered. But all this wouldn't matter. He and Annabeth would depart this very morning to a hotel and would start their holiday. 

Percy was staring at the owl. Suddenly his eyes caught the sight of the stick beside the cage. Even that appeared wiered. It wasn't an ordinary stick, he decided. " I'm thinking way too much" he muttered to himself. "He may be a normal kid who likes owls!" 

Percy shook Annabeth. She was sleeping peacefully, right adjacent to him. " Hey Annabeth wake up!"

Annabeth muttered something which Percy clearly didn't understand. She might have been in a deep sleep. Percy didn't disturb her anymore and sat up on his mattress. His eyes wandered upon Harry. He was fast asleep. Percy stared at his lightning shaped scar. That couldn't be ordinary either. He thought.

Just then, Harry opened his eyes. " Oh, so you're awake!?" He reached for his glasses, kept on the side table.

"Yeah! morning!"

"Uhh....i'm sorry for the last night.....i was having a nightmare....hope you understand..."

"Of course, anyone can have nightmares." Percy didn't sound convinced. "um..can i ask you something?"

"Go on"

"Where are your parents?"

"Ohh" Harry became grim. " They're dead"

Percy was shocked and guilty that he asked him that question. " I'm so sorry, i didn't mean to.....

"Its okay...don't worry. Harry cut in. So, you're leaving today"? He asked hurriedly

Percy got the feeling that he didn't want to talk about his parents. "Yeah! today....immediately after breakfast."

"Hey guys!" Annabeth had woken too...Good morning!"

"You two get fresh....i'll go help aunt Petunia to cook breakfast" Harry walked out of the room.

"Hey Annabeth... I really can't wait to tour around london with you!"

"Neither can I, seaweed brain!" She said enthusiastically.Then picked up the towl and some fresh clothes and walked to the bathroom.

Immediately, Percy's thoughts changed from their holiday to Harry. His parents were dead! Percy had never imagined that. But he was still suspicious about this boy.

"I've got to uncover his secret. No matter what!" He muttered.

Percy noticed that there was trunk under Harry's bed. He walked to it and pulled it out. He knew it was not right to look into people's personal things but then another idea struck him.. why would anyone keep his trunk under his bed!!??

Percy took a deep breath and opened the trunk....................
