Beautiful Promise - Harry Potter & Percy Jackson Crossover Fanfiction

Chapter 2

The sun shined through and there seemed to be a mist in the air, which seemed to be a faint reminder of yesterday’s event. Percy, Annabeth, Nico, and Clarisse went to the headmaster’s office to get their uniforms and a welcoming talk. A stern woman named McGonagall led them to a strange-looking door, and with a password that sounded  like ‘lemon drop’, they were inside an office. An old man with a long grey beard, long robes, and bright blue eyes that seemed to twinkle underneath the half-moon shaped glasses greeted them. “My name is Albus Dumbledore. Would you like a lemon drop?” said the strange man with a beard.   

“No thank you, Mr.Dumbledore. My name is Annabeth Chase. This is Percy Jackson, Nico di Angelo, and Clarisse la Rue. I believe Chiron informed you that we must go undercover as students of your school to capture the thing we’re after,” said Annabeth.

“Oh, yes, Chiron has updated me about your situation,” said Dumbledore. “Professor McGonagall, if you will please show them the way to the Great Hall.”

“Follow me, children. I will tell you the basic rules of Hogwarts,” said McGonagall.

In Hogwarts, there were four main houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff.

 

I walked into the Great Hall and it seemed like all eyes were on us. I looked around and saw flowing candles and a ceiling charmed to look like the night sky. I glanced around to see the eyes that were staring at me. Many of them were looking at us with distrust and fear. Fear? That couldn’t be right. I would have understood if they didn’t trust us, but why were they be afraid of us? They didn’t even know who we were but … How strange?

Percy’s gaze met a pair of icy grey-blue eyes. Percy could only stare because the person maintaining eye contact was the beautiful boy he rescued, Draco Malfoy. Percy couldn’t make a sound; he was too awestruck to say anything. The doll like boy was alive and moving. It made what happened the night before seem surreal. They maintained eye contact, and Percy flashed his million dollar grin. Draco turned his head and looked the other way, not knowing why the boy smiling at him seemed so familiar.

Having established the facts that Percy, Annabeth, Nico, and Clarisse were transfer students from America and that they were completely harmless, Dumbledore commenced the feast to begin. This left students with many questions, especially the Golden Trio.

“Don’t you think this is rather strange? Transfer students, we’ve never had that since Hogwarts was formed,” said Hermione.

“Do you think they’re Death Eaters?” whispered Ron.

“They could be, but what if they’re harmless American transfer students after all?” said Harry.

“What are the odds?” said Hermione.

Percy, unknowing the distrust and doubt the Golden trio had in him and his friends, continued to try to make eye contact with Draco. Annabeth watched with curiosity while Percy attempted to undress a beautiful boy with his eyes.

“What’s his name? Your crush?” asked Annabeth.

“What? Who? What are you talking about?” said Percy.

“The boy you have been drooling about for the past 15 minutes. What’s his name?” teased Annabeth.

Quickly wiping his mouth, “I’m not drooling. Just merely looking!” exclaimed Percy.

“Looking at what?” asked Clarisse.

“Nothing,” said Percy quickly.

“He’s drooling at the sight of his crush. See that blonde?” said Annabeth.

Clarisse tilted her head to get a better look; she could see the poise in the boy. A royal air seemed to be fixated on the boy. Clarisse could see the why Percy would be interested, well, I mean, it’s Percy’s type afterall. Blonde, gray eyes, fair-skinned, and petite. Definitely up his alley. Even Nico had picked it up.

Annabeth and Clarisse watched as Percy tried to maintain eye contact with Draco. Darco seemed to be uncomfortable under the vision of Percy and quickly left the room. Percy drank the remaining pumpkin juice and followed after Draco.

“Guys, his name is Draco Malfoy, not sexy,” said Nico.

“How do you know?” said Annabeth.

“Percy was mumbling his name while he was asleep last night,” said Nico.

“This is good, really good,” said Annabeth.

“Why is that? The only thing coming out of it is Seaweed Boy distracted from our mission.” said Clarisse.

“No, it’s the first time Percy’s shown interest in someone after we broke up. He always said he was too busy, but I know him. He just didn’t want to tell me because he didn’t want me to worry,” concluded Annabeth.

“In case you have forgotten, we came here to find the monster that was spotted.” said Clarisse.

“We should help them. You know, get them together,” said Annabeth.

“Yeah, we should, and ignore the monster we chased here,” said Clarisse sarcastically.

“But Percy is in love and it can help him get over our former relationship,” said Annabeth.

“Percy is a big boy. He can handle Draco. I mean, he got you to go out with him and has half of  the Aphrodite cabin in love with him. How hard is one boy?” said Nico.

“Why don’t we help him by finding the monster ourselves and let him do his thing?” suggested Clarisse.

“ Great idea!” exclaimed Annabeth.

Annabeth hummed happily as she finished her breakfast; she looked toward the door, wishing Percy the best of luck.
