Vaisey

"No, Percy!" Sirius shouted,"I absolutely forbid it!"

Percy turned around so fast, I wasn't sure if I blinked or not. His eyes were blazing in anger. Percy was dressed in clothes from his trunk, the one I brought to his uncle when Sirius came for the funeral and learned of his kidnapping. It's been two days, and the Golden Trio had decided their next move, which Percy wanted to attend.

Sirius was adamant in keeping Percy close by and safe. I just wanted to be near him, which wouldn't be hard because Percy refused to sleep without someone. The first night, after Molly and the rest of the Order went about healing him, Percy slept with his uncle and cat. The next night he slept with Sally and I, very nice.

Percy was fed, and hydrated, making his usual color come back. He had cleaned up, so the only different thing about him was the permanent teeth marks on his wrist, and extra addition of scars littering his body.

Apparently Percy's muscles were worked when Percy got free from the tank, his body stayed lean from his strength training. At the Malfoy's Manor, Percy was just weak from the lack of energy he held. Now after two days of sleep, food, and comfort, his energy was building to towering heights.

"What did you say?" Percy's calm voice ordered.

Sirius gritted his teeth,"I absolutely forbid it."

Percy looked furious, but a facade of calm overtook him,"You cannot stop me, nor forbid from doing anything. I'm going with Harry, they'll need all the help they can get."

"I am your guardian!" Sirius argued,"You cannot—"

"Yes I can!" Percy cut off,"I'm eighteen now. I turned eighteen when I was in captivity. You have no power over me, no one does."

Sirius' eyebrows furrowed concerned,"I just don't want anything to happen to you."

Percy sighed, holding up the bitten wrist,"He drank my blood, he won't want anything more out of me besides information or my death."

"Exactly!" Sirius,"I don't want you dead or questioned anymore."

I frowned, pulling Percy into my chest as a comforting gestured,"Never again."

Percy stiffened at first, before relaxing,"This time I'll have my friends to help me, I'll be fine, Sirius."

Sirius had this forlorn looked on his face as the tension changed. He came over and put a hand on Percy's shoulder, giving a defeated nod. Percy returned the gesture, gripping my hand and turning around to find Harry.

"I'll see you at Hogwarts." Percy declared.

***Line Break***

"How are you disguising yourself, Vaisey?" Harry asked me quietly.

We stood in a dark alley near Gringotts. Hermione was using the potion to imitate Bellatrix. Harry was holding his invisibility cloak with Griphook on his shoulders. Percy was peering outside of the alleyway we stood in, waving at us to quiet down.

"Percy's going to conceal us in an invisibility spell." I answered, tugging on Percy's hand.

He turned and nodded at us all,"Let's go. Hermione, you first."

She held her head high, and managed to successfully strut out into the street. Ron followed her, I assumed Harry and Griphook chased after them, and soon enough Percy and I were behind them. Percy gripped my hand in a gentle grip to keep our hands connected to hold the spell.

Hermione entered the bank, ignoring the goblins heads following her every move. We all trailed her loud, semi confident footsteps. I could tell the goblins didn't believe Hermione was Bellatrix, but he suddenly changed his mind.

Percy's eyes narrowed in on nothing next to the goblin. I guess Percy knew something was going on, and I realized it was Harry's spell when we all boarded the cart. Moments later, the waterfall hit us all, washing away our disguises. I disconnected hands with Percy to wipe my eyes, and when I turned back, I couldn't see my boyfriend.

"Percy!" I screamed, alarmed.

Where'd he go? Did he fall off? I looked over the side, and saw no one falling. I started hyperventilating. Everyone, save the confused goblin, looked scared out of their minds with the absence of Percy. I shouted for him again, looking around me in the dark.

"Vaisey, relax." His voice soothed,"I'm right here, I'm still invisible."

My boyfriend reappeared, dry as ever. He had this cute grin on his face, and I visibly relaxed. Harry tiredly slapped Percy on the shoulder. Ron did the same as his best friend, making Percy wink at them all. I pulled him in to a quick praising kiss. Griphook looked at Percy in disbelief as we parted.

"How did you do that?" He asked incredulously.

Percy smirked,"I have a knack for water."

The cart suddenly slowed. I grabbed Percy's hand securely. He squeezed back, not looking at me. Harry hesitantly followed the goblin that went to open the door. When the gate was opened, we all stood in amazement at the sight before us. Just as the goblins picked up these bells, Percy waved his hand and they flew out of our hands.

Despite our protests, Percy ran right in view of the giant monster. Out of nowhere, a sword appeared in his hand. He raised the blade, and surprisingly slammed it into the ground so it was sticking straight out of the floor. Percy fell to his knees, keeping his grip on the handle, bowing his head.

I shouted at my boyfriend in concern, but was frozen when he stopped me with a silent spell. The dragon stood, observing the wizard before him. A gasp escaped my lips when the dragon bowed its head back. Percy raised his head, and held his hand out, and the snout of the beast met his palm. Then I was released from the spell, letting me just stand in awe.

"Go get it." Percy commanded us.

"What will you do?" Hermione asked Percy cautiously watching the dragon.

"Vaisey and I will keep watch." He responded simply.

I cursed in my head, jogging over to Percy. He's going to get me killed. When I got close, Percy regarded me until I was beside him. In a swift movement, he knocked my feet out from under me, and I landed on my knees. Following the silent order, I bowed my head, copying Percy's earlier actions.

The next thing I know, the breath of the dragon was curling around my face. I wrinkled my nose in discomfort. It was soon cut off by the scream of an alarm. Within seconds, chaos erupted with more goblins swarming the vault.

Percy grabbed my arm, and scaled the dragon's body. I held onto Percy, clinging to his smaller body from the backside. We reached the dragon's neck in seconds, hiding behind its defense. The beast roared, and blew out a raging fire from its mouth.

"Ron!" I shouted, spotting the red head,"Over here!"

Percy's head swiveled over to the Golden Trio. He patted the dragon's neck, and the tail of it went closer to the Trio who climbed on. Percy narrowed his eyes on the chains holding the dragon down, and they broke. Percy blasted a hole in the ceiling, looking up at the sky like it was the most beautiful thing he's seen in awhile.

"Lets fly."
