3th pov.

Macaber showed Percy a hourglass. The sand was slowly falling through the beautiful object. It was a glass object with wooden standers and golden finishing touches.

"Why do I need to see this?" Percy asked while he squinted his eyes at the hourglass. Most of the sand had already fallen. He realised that it wasn't natural sand, it was made with spells, and poison.

"I believe you know, Jackson. It's the time, your dear little sister haves before she will perish. Even her soul won't survive it." Macaber laughed cruelly. He searched Percy for a sign of conflict, of fear, but he found nothing. It frustrated him more then he would like to admit.

"You know, it's a very fragile object. One tic and you could crush it." Percy smirked. He wondered if small Timmy had found the veil already. He hoped nothing bad would happen to him or he would never forgive himself.

"You try to be an optimist but you know she won't make it. Even if I let you free, she won't make it." Macaber whispered. His voice got carried of. A small echo repeated the last part.

"Let's make a deal then shall we?" Percy looked into Macabers eyes, daring him to accept it. He saw the wizard was getting interested.

"A deal you say? And to which terms?"

"Gods, I hate long train rides." Thalia muttered. She looked outside while the Scottish view shines in all her glory.

"We are just sitting for ten minutes." Hermione says flabbergasted. She just can't grasp the fact that someone could get bored so soon, even when there are books stored in each compartment.

"You try do sit still for a long time with ADHD while worrying about a brother-like figure who could die every minute sacrificing himself for us!" She and Nico yelled. Hermione fell silent, slightly ashamed of herself. Before her pride returned and she deepened herself in her book again.

Ron and Harry looked at each other. Slightly lost with words. They knew the cousins were close, but this close? 
Nobody seemed to have the loyalty like those cousins.

"If I may ask, how comes that you are so loyal towards Percy?" Hermoine asks.
"He's family." Nico shrugged, like this was everything.
"Even then this isn't normal." Hermoine tried to let them talk.

"Look, you don't know us. We went through some horrible times together and he was always there for us. And believe me as I say that we went through times you wouldn't even survive." Thalia answered.
The Harry and Hermione looked at each other, no way that they have been through more.
"But how do you know that he won't betray you, us." Hermoine continued.
Thalia's eye and Nico's eye twitched.
"He won't ever. He's Percy."

"You don't know that, betrayal hurts more when a friend does it." Hermoine continued. She hadn't noticed the dropping of temperature or the gathering of storm clouds outside, or the increasing darkness.
Ron was signing to her to stop. "And anybody would betray everybody when tortured, or when they are given the opportunity to save someone else or..."

Suddenly Thalia had pushed her against the wal, her wand to her neck. "Don't you dare continue that phrase, you don't know Percy. He has been tortured before and never, do you here me, NEVER, has he betrayed anyone of us. And magic won't change it." She growled before storming out of the compartment. Nico threw a glare before leaving to.

"You went to far 'Moine." Ron said. George and Ginny came inside, laughing hard. Before the sensed the dead atmosphere.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Hermoine happened." Ron answered, still mad. Ginny formed an o with her mound. She knew what this meant.

Dear travellers, in five minutes you will see the marvelous beauty of Edinburgh. Gather your belongings and take everything with you! Have a nice stay.

Slowly everyone sat straight staring outside.
"I'm terrefied. I don't want to know what happened to Percy, I hope he wasn't tortured. When the train stopped the five of them went outside.
Thalia and Nico suddenly stood beside them.
"Let's go." Nico growled before they all suddenly felt like they were in a rollercoaster while they had eaten to much. When it stopped, and the most had emptied their stomachs, they saw a dark and gloomy castle before them.

"How did we came here?" Hermoine asked baffled.
"Magic." Thalia snorts.
"I hate this place, the pink curses with the Scottish flag, tho I do like the dark." Nico comments.
"You always like the dark. Tho I must agree. And probably Percy thought the same." Thalia grins soflty.
"No, he would have said it to anger his prisoner." Nico answered.

The three Weasley siblings and their friends looked at each other. They really got along well. And they had a feeling that they had experienced a situation as this before.

"Come on, let's the fortress of our dark wizard." They say before going inside.

"Thals, there is something much stronger and older here."
"I know Neeks. I feel it to." Was the last thing they heard before everything went quiet and a laugh sounded through the room.

"Welcome, I was expecting you."
