SEA GREEN [PERCY JACKSON X HARRY POTTER]

#15

Harry choked on the air he was breathing.

"They're friends?"

"Friends," Luna confirmed.

"How could you say that?" he spluttered. "They possess my mind for Merlin's sake!"

Luna tilted her head to the side. "They haven't said anything wrong, have they? They're trying to protect you."

"Luna, they're trying to trick me."

"They're being friendly to me. The voice in my head... It's telling me to do things in order to protect myself and others."

Harry tried to hide his shock. "I- What?! Luna, what did they tell you to do?"

Luna smiled thoughtfully. "Many things, but just today it told me to pour Nectar- a special healing drink- into Percy's drink. It said the power was tripled, so it would help Percy be invincible."

"What's this?" Percy mumbled to himself as he picked up a mug with a note attached.

He read the note, realising it was from Luna.

"What's in the drink?" Katie hummed, her eyes following the mug in Percy's hands.

"Luna added some Nectar inside. She said it was only a little and it would make me feel better. She says I've been feeling moody."

"I think I'm more moody right now," Katie laughed, though there was a bit of darkness in her humourless chuckle.

"Why is that?"

Katie hesitated. "Uh... girl stuff. You wouldn't want to know."

Percy nodded slowly until he registered her answer. He flushed a deep red. "Right. I guess I'll just drink this then."

Katie shrugged and placed a bowl of fruit in front of her, Percy chugging the drink down.

"Woah, that's good. Tastes like my mum's blue cookies," he said, wiping his mouth on the sleeve of his robes. Katie smiled at him but became concerned when Percy started to fan himself, his cheeks red and sweat beading down the sides of his face.

"Percy? You okay?"

"Get Annabeth," he murmured, before his head slammed onto the table, falling unconscious.

"Annabeth!" Katie shrieked as she reached the Gryffindor table.

Annabeth stood up slowly. "Katie? What's wrong?"

"Percy..." Katie breathed, her chest closing up from her shock and worry.

That was all it took to get Annabeth charging to the Hufflepuff table.

"Percy?!" she gasped, shaking his shoulders. Her breath hitched as she touched his skin. "He's burning up!"

Katie caught up with her, Travis following behind.

"Get him to the Hospital Wing!" Travis barked, pushing Percy up. He slung Percy's arm around his shoulder, Annabeth doing the same.

They dashed out the Great Hall, students around them stunned with shock.

Harry stared as they sped past him at the entrance, Katie lagging behind. He held onto her arm, stopping her.

"What happened?"

Katie's eyes were wide with fear. "Percy drank Luna's drink."

Harry released hold of her arm, his mouth agape. Luna had done something to Harry under the influence of the voice in her head.
