PERCY POV

In all respects, i was quite lucky. The monsters outside were only hell hounds, and young ones at that. I suppose they had been attracted by my scent. When i saw the size of them, i decide to call Mrs O'Leary, maybe she can help some of them. 4 or 5 of the ten hell hounds left with her, making me feel slightly better. At least they weren't all bad. I quickly disposed of the hell hounds using my new tridant. Let me tell you, that thing is one bad ass weapon.

I disposed of the monsters in minutes with no damage, thanks to the achilles curse (A/N Percy goes back and gets a second curse of Achilles along with Thalia- she doesn't get the curse, she is his mortal tie -in my version of the blood of Olympus.) i made my way back to the great hall, and entered only to be met with silence. I looked towards Dumbledore, nodded shortly and took my seat. Ky slithered off Harry's arm, and back around my neck.

Are you okay? You have a massive slash across your cloak. Ky asked, a hint of worry creeping into her voice. Harry was also watching me carefully.

:i'll explain later: i said shortly, and continued eating my food. After we all finished the main food, a whole new round of desert was served. I just hope they have...BLUE SHERBET ICE CREAM. I pulled the bowl towards me and dumped half of it into my own bowl. Ron was doing the same, just with the cake.

"Seriously you two, don't you ever get full?" Hermione said. We shared one glance and shook our heads simultaniously, earning laughs from most of the table. I was about to dig in when i felt a harsh tap on my shoulder. I turned to see a very pale man in a black cloak staring sown at me with inky eyes. This guy was more of a Nico.

"The headmaster wishes to speak with you Perseus." He said. I stood up and brushed myself off.

"Just Percy please." I said. He stared me down harshly. Even though i was taller than him, this guy scared the shit out of me. I followed him up to the table where Dumbledore welcomed me with open arms.

"Ah Percy, how nice to properly meet you. Now tell me, did you dispose of the monsters outside?" I just nodded tye affermative.

"Well then, i thinks its time you told us your story. I heard some detail from Chiron, but not enough to feed my curiosity." He said with a hopefully glint in his eye. I sighed heavily.

"Well it all began when i went on a school trip....." The rest of the meal was spent with me telling Dumbledore and the other professors of my life so far. When i reached the end of my story, all of them were looking at me with a mixture of pity and ore. I wasn't sure which was worse.

"Are you lying to us boy?" The new professor, Umbridge asked snarkilly. My eyes widened in shock.

"N-no thats the truth." She just turned away. Dumbledore gave her a warning look before returning his gaze back to me.

"Well if thats all, i had better be getting back to Mark and the others." At that, mr dark and gloomy's head snapped towards me.

"Yes i was meaning to ask about him. How is it that you know him?" Here we go again.

"Well Draco, as you know him, is actually Mark a son of Ares. When i first went to camp he was one of my best friends. Then his mother died, mauled by hell hounds, and he spiralled into a deep depression. I was sent on a quest into the labrynth, but before i left, i prayed to Ares asking for him to send Mark to his Aunt and Uncle in England who he talked so fondly of. Apparently i was wrong, and they aren't good people. When he first saw me again, he said that he finally had a chance to come home, so i suppose he will leave with me when i go." I said. Dumbledore nodded gravely and sent me back to my table.

"What was that about mate?" Ron asked, having finished his food. I shook my head.

"Nothing important." Dean pressed on.

"Must have been, Dumbledore put a privacy spell on the table. We couldn't hear or see you." I'll have to remember that one.

"Just sending a message from my headmaster. Hades knows what it said, it was all in some weird code." They all nodded and went back to their conversations, except Hermione. She just hummed and scribbled something down, before stuffing the parchment in her pocket.

HERMIONE POV

Did he just say Hades? If my memory serves me right, that is a curse the greeks used to use. I scribbled that down on a piece of parchment, and stuffed it in my cloak. Maybe this was the clue to solving Percy's past.

"All Griffindors, this way please!" The Griffindor prefects called. Everyone rose, and began following them through the maze of corridors and stairs. When we finally reached the fat lady, she looked at us all cheerfully.

"Why hello students. How happy we are to have you all in Griffndor this year." The male prefect shook his head hopelessly.

"Can we just get in? Grindalow." She tutted at the boy then swung open revealing the Griffindor common room.

"Boys dorms are up the stairs to the left, girls on the right. Please, lights out at 10." With that, a majority of the students left, just leave the golden trio, Mark and Percy. Percy yawned and stretched his arms.

"Well, i'm nakered. I'm going to bed. Night guys." He said. Mark looked at him tiredly.

"Think i'll join you." We all said night to the pair as they ascended the stairs to the dorm rooms.

"Okay guys, i think i have a piece of the puzzle to solving Percy's past." The two boys gathered around as we took our familiar places on the couches.

"Right. You know when he was talking about what he talked to Dumbledore about? Well he said the curse Hades. That, if i remember right, was a curse used by the greeks. Now i know Percy was taught in ancient greek, but it seems strange that he would just take a lifestyle change like this." Both of them had a look of realisation on their faces.

"Maybe we should check this out in the library tommorow. I mean classes don't start for two days." Harry said. I just nodded.

"Well, now that i got that out, i think i'm going to go to bed, night guys." I said. The boys waved good buy as i made my way to the dormitorys. All of the girls were all ready asleep, so i snuck my way over to my bed, got changed and snuggled in for a goodnights sleep. Ready for the evaluation of Mr Percy Jackson tommorow.
