Percy Jackson Is A Wizard....

6. Hermione?

3rd P.O.V

It was a Saturday. The first Saturday of the school year. The students were wandering the school. All of the first years were trying to get a lay of the land. The moving staircases were a pain. As one Ms. Hermione Granger was about to find out.

Hermione P.O.V

Hermione decided she would not be late, and therefore she needed to know her way around. Starting at Gryffindor Tower, she began to make her way around the corridors. After a couple of hours, she finally felt like she was making progress. That's when everything went bad. Not paying attention is a bad idea at Hogwarts, because the next thing she knew, she was falling between staircases. Fortunately, she wasn't hurt. Unfortunately, she landed on top of somebody. Hermione stood up, began to Apollogize, and offered the person a hand.

Percy P.O.V.

He was just minding his own business when a girl fell on top of him. She stood up, Apollogizing, and offered him a hand. He took it a stood up. He smiled at her, "It's fine, really. I'm Percy, Percy Jackson".  She finally calmed down and took his hand,

"Hermione, Hermione Granger".
Percy grinned at the confidence coming off of her.

"It's very nice to meet you, Hermione", He said, "Though I have to ask, do all Gryffindors like to jump off the staircases?"

"What? Of course not. I just wasn't paying attention and the staircase moved", Hermione said, blushing a bit.

"I was just kidding. What are you doing inside anyways? Most of your housemates are outside"

"Well, I'm certainly not like my housemates. I'm inside because I wanted to learn my way around better", She said.

"I understand. I was doing the same. You know, when you fell on me", He said smirking.

"Oh, I'm very sorry for that", Hermione said, once again.

"It's fine", He said, "Since we're already doing the same thing, why don't we do it together?"

Hermione grinned, not even the other Gryffindors wanted to spend time with her, "I would love that".

With that they walked off talking. And enjoying the other's company.

*A Few Days Later*
Harry's P.O.V.

Harry was walking with Ron, when je saw something that shocked him.

Hermione, hanging out with that Hufflepuff that is friends with Malfoy.

He pointed them out to Ron, and they made their way over.

Seeing them, Hermione waved. Harry waved back. Ron sat down next to the Hufflepuff.  Said Hufflepuff turned to Ron and held his hand out, "I'm Percy".

Ron shook it and grinned, "Ron Weasley"

"Weasley? I've heard a lot about your family", Percy said.

"Yeah, I bet you have, considering that you hang out with Malfoy", Harry said.

"Do you mean Draco? Yeah, but that's not who I heard it from. Everyone in my house talks about the twins", Percy said smiling at Ron, "They're amazing"

"You don't have to live with them", Ron said, but still he smiled.

Harry frowned and sat down next to Hermione. He decided to change the subject. "So how did you two meet?"

"She fell for me", Percy smirked.

Hermione slapped his arm, "I did not. I fell off the moving staircases, and he just happened to be where I landed"

"Yeah, and you better be glad I was. You could've seriously gotten hurt", He said.

Harry watched as Percy put his arm around Hermione's shoulders. She didn't seem to even notice that he did it.

Ron kinda glared at the gesture, but since he didn't know why it made him mad, he stopped glaring.

Hermione continued to talk as though nothing had happened. Percy liked to lean on people. She figured he was just affectionate.

And she was right. Percy just liked to be near people he cared about. Anyone who knew him well, knew that it wasn't anything romantic. Just loving.

*An Hour Later*

After talking to Percy for an hour, Harry decided that he was a good guy. He still had no clue how he was friends with Malfoy, but oh well.

They were all still in the same spot. Ron had drifted off to sleep, so had Hermione, Harry and Percy weren't to far from it.

That was when he heard a laugh and that annoying voice. Draco Malfoy walked by with his goons.

The blond haired boy stopped when he saw Percy and Hermione.

"Hello Perce, tell 'Mione I said hi when she wakes up", Malfoy said and was about to walk away when he heard.....

"I thought you only cared about purebloods, why do you want to talk to Hermione?", Harry asked before he could stop himself.

Percy looked at him shocked and Draco turned around, angry. "I'm not my father, Potter"

"Really? Is that why you're so uptight about blood purity?", Harry practically yelled. It was loud enough that he woke up Hermione.

"You're the one who brought up her blood status. Not me!", Draco yelled.

Percy stood up, and walked in between the two. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" , He yelled and then turned towards Harry, "You should learn to watch your mouth and not provoke people", Then he turned towards Draco, "I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be mad at you, but you were just defending yourself", with that Percy walked off. With Draco follow him.

Hermione stood up, "What Happened? What did you say about my blood status?"

"I'm sorry. Draco came over and was talking about you, and I didn't understand because he's a blood purist and.....", Harry trailed off when he saw Hermione's glare.

"I told you that you may not know the real him. I've met the real Draco and he hates that stuff. Trust me, Percy wouldn't be friends with him if he did", She huffed, "Next time, let me defend myself". Hermione stormed off.

Harry was left speechless. He didn't understand what had just happened.

Ron rolled over, "You messed up, big time"

"Thanks Ron, for your helpful insight", Harry muttered.

Ron shrugged and stood up. They both walked to the castle.
