Undercover (Harry Potter and Percy Jackson Crossover)

Chapter 2

(A/N Hey guys, just to clarify, these events take place in the eighth year, which is the year seventh year students missed due to the Battle of Hogwarts. The picture above is the Greek Gods of Olympus and the video which plays the Battle of Hogwarts theme song which I thought was really cool. I love intense music. I also understood that Percy Jackson and the Heroes of Olympus take place in a different time than Harry Potter, but for the sake of the story, let's just say that Percy Jackson is just as old as Harry Potter and the other kids in his year.)

Percy POV

I waited in line with other little eleven year olds as I saw Aunt Minnie, or I should say Professor McGonagall call out students' names from a list. One by one, they each got a turn to sit on the stool that was placed in front of a large table in which other professors (I presume) sat in. In some students' turns, the hat would turn out to be too big and slouch over their forehead. The hat would then pause for a moment and then  shout out one of the Houses Hermione told me. Slowly,  the list of names would move on until the Professor said, "Jackson, Percy."

I glanced at Hermione who gave my a slight nod and gestured me to walk up onto the platform the stool was on. Professor McGonagall, gave me a grim, rare smile and then dropped the hat onto my head.

"Hmmm..." I heard a voice in my ears. It seemed to be coming from the hat that was on my head. "You are from Camp Half-Blood, I see. Brave. Courageous. Daring. Smart. Quite stubborn." My eyebrows raised at the last sentence. I didn't open my mouth to revolt, because I was too scared to what the Hat might say.

"Of course, you will do good in any of the Houses. Which one do you prefer?" the Hat asked me.

Please Gryffindoor. Gryffindoor. In order to complete my quest, I need to be in the same House as Hermione, I thought frantically.

I could see, under the flap of the Hat, the rest of Hogwarts waiting anxiously for my result of my House. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Hermione whispering something in Harry's ear and the red-head, Ron coming back to his seat next to Hermione, looking quite sick. He must've had a hard time digesting whatever he swallowed, accidentally. What a poor bloke.

The Hat thought for another moment and then replied to my thoughts, "Ok, that was almost the same thought request I heard from Harry Potter, and he did very well in that House. I will give you the House you want, but listen to me, there will be something bad coming in your way, be warned. So, 

I was sure that the last word the Hat said echoed throughout the entire Hall. Professor McGonagall took the Hat off of me and bent down to my shoulder-hight. 

"That was pretty much the longest Sorting I've experienced. I hope you got the House you wanted, Percy." She whispered in my ear, so only my ears could hear it.

I walked over back to the Gryffindoor table where Hermione, Harry, and Ron were cheering for me. I weakly sat down across from the trio.

"Yessss!!!! You got Gryffindoor! We are know for our after game parties preceding Quidditch. In fact, tryouts are going to start soon, so it's not to late to join the team!" Harry explained, cheerfully. I squirmed at the thought. Annabeth told me a little about magic people, but I only heard it in "Blah, blah, blahs." The only part I heard was the sports they played. I wasn't going to look forward getting hit by moving bomb-like balls that follow you every where and attempt to hit you. I heard about the incident Harry Potter had in his second year. I wasn't going to end up like him.

"I don't know," I replied truthfully. "I just want to get to know this place first and then think about anything else first. I'll try to join you later for flying lessons maybe." Harry smiled at me and then continued cheering for another new Gryffindoor that just got Sorted, moments ago.

Hermione nodded and then grinned. "Why we all come and show around the castle after the feast!"

Before I could reply, I heard a soft tapping of a spoon on a glass cup. Everyone hushed and turned towards the table where all the professors were sitting. As if reading my mind, Hermione leaned towards me and whispered, "Those are all the professors, and the table they are sitting on, that's the High Table."

While she was talking, I could smell the sweet cocoa scent from her hair. If felt like all the worries from my life had been washed away. But, just as quickly as I went to space, I came back to earth and saw that Professor McGonagall was saying something.

"...and Mr.Filch our caretaker has wanted to say that Professor Hagrid's hut and the Forbidden Forest is completely off limits to students unless accompanied by one of us." The professor gestured to the witches and wizards sitting at the table behind her. Beside me, Hermione's, Harry's, and Ron's faces drooped at the sentence. They must be really good friends with whoever Hagrid was.

Professor McGonagall continued her speech, "We will also have a few, ahem, transfer students from a different ca-- school. If you see them around, please be friendly and say hi. So, without further words, please enjoy your feast."

The Professor winked directly at me before returning to her super-serious face and turned on her heel and started walking back to her seat. But, I couldn't help noticing that one of the seats was empty. Then, I got confused. Where really is our feast?  Once again, Hermione read my mind and said, "Percy, you must be hungry from your train ride. You should really start eating." 

I turned around in my seat and saw that the tables where filled with food that can last one person a year. Wasn't this table empty few moments ago? This place is seriously driving me nuts. I don't think I can handle this much longer. I wish my friends would be here right now, already.

But, before I could even bend down to pick up a spoon to serve myself some soup, I heard a cold, sharp voice that I've been dreading to hear ever since I started this quest. 

"Well, well, well, look at what we have got here. Look at which freak decided to show up right now."

(A/N Yay! I personally hate cliffhangers, but BOY they are soooo fun to write. Mwahahahaha.😈 So what do you guys think of this wonderful chapter? What do you think Percy and Hermione are going to do?
