Harry POV

I'm really worried about Percy. He's hiding something big, I can tell. I really want to know, but unfortunately that would require keeping a close eye on him, and I want him to both trust me and tell me himself.

I can hear him slam the bathroom door and march down the stairs after what sounded suspiciously a lot like crashing into a wall. He comes into the room, slouched over and head bowed, looking at something on the floor. He glared at it so hard I would've sworn he wanted to murder it. I had a sudden urge to look at where he was staring.

"What did the poor floor ever do to you?" I asked, smirking lightly.

He fixed his death glare on me now, instead of the floor, scowling deeply. I really wanted to know his secret now. Something was up and it was keeping him down. No- one is naturally this anti-social. Especially with a brother they just met. Right? I think so at least. I really wouldn't know, I've never had siblings.

Percy suddenly doubled over and went into what looked like a serious coughing fit. It sounded horrible, like he hadn't eaten or drank anything for days and his cough was ripping him apart. He straightened just as suddenly, startling me.

"What was that? Are you sick?" I questioned, because seriously, that sounded painful.

"It was nothing," He answered dismissively, waving a hand to prove his point, "just allergies or something.

His tone gave him away. He was lying. But why? Just as I was about to question him further, a certain nosy godfather decide to interrupt.

"'Sup guys!" Sirius said cheerfully, almost bounding into the room.

A smile flickered across Percy's face. I found that I had started smiling as well, and wiped the grin off my face before Sirius could rub it in.

Both of us didn't answer, and Percy went back to his odd routine of glaring at the floor. Sirius frowned when he noticed. He walked over and led Percy to the table, where I was sitting. He basically had to force Percy into one of the chairs. He the walked around and sat in his own usual seat.

He placed his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair, grinning widely at both of us. I returned it. Percy on the other hand was laying on the table, so still I was sure he'd fallen asleep. He looked up. That was when I noticed just how bad he looked. He had dark circles under his eyes, like he hadn't slept. His eyes were red and puffy, probably from the sob-fest we had had earlier. He skin, which I could safely assume had been tan, now had a pale sheen and his raven-hair was plastered to his forehead.

I was going to find out what was wrong with him, what he was hiding, if it was the last thing I did.

Percy POV

We went to 'Diagon Alley'. Still don't understand why someone would name it that. Whoever it was must've been drunk, same for 'Hogwarts'. I mean seriously, who names a school after a skin disease for pigs?!

~Time skip to after they got their stuff~

(Now at Kings Cross)

"Wait, So you're telling me to run into a wall with a cart? Isn't that like, asking for serious injury?"

"I already explained, it's magical."

"Yeah whatever. If I die I'm blaming it on you."

"You're not going to die"

"That's what you think!"

Harry just chuckled at me. The nerve!

But, I did do it. I ran. Into a wall. New achievement yah know? Run into a wall intentionally. I really thought I was going to come out with a broken bone or two, so you can say I was surprised when there was actually a train platform on the other side, and I hadn't become a pancake.

"Told you so."

I jumped and glared at Harry. "You scared me! Don't do that!"

He just smiled again. Seriously, all this smiling is starting to freak me out. I inched away from him, then broke off into a sprint, a mad dash for the train. I ran into the end compartment, which was empty, thank gods, and closed the door behind me. I sat down, pulling out the Ipod, silently thanking Hecate for the gift.

She made the IPod so that it worked anywhere and never ran out of battery. OP much?

I put on the earphones and started playing 'Without Me' by Halsey.

~song~

Found you when your heart was broke
I filled your cup until it overflowed
Took it so far to keep you close (Keep you close)
I was afraid to leave you on your own

I said I'd catch you if you fall
And if they laugh, then f*ck 'em all (All)
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you can take advantage of me

Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (I don't know why, yeah yeah)

Gave love 'bout a hundred tries (hundred tries)
Just running from the demons in your mind
Then I took yours and made 'em mine (made 'em mine)
I didn't notice 'cause my love was blind

Said I'd catch you if you fall (fall)
And if they laugh, then f*ck 'em all (all)
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you can take advantage of me

You don't have to say just what you did
I already know (I know)
I had to go and find out from them
So tell me how's it feel (oh-woah)

~end song~

I don't really know why I like this song so much. Maybe it's because I can sorta relate to it. For An- her. I saved her so many times, like she did for me. I fell into hell for her, but in the end, it turned out she was just using me all along.

Sometimes, the best people have the worst luck.
