Percy Jackson - the new teacher in Hogwarts (HP and HOO crossover )

5.

The day before the Christmas break

Harry

I wasn't even a tiny bit closer to discovering the truth about the new DADA teacher. I was trying to prove my theory to Ron and Hermione. They acted like they believed there was something off, but I would constantly see them roll their eyes every time I start talking about it.

The teacher obviously had insomnia or something similar to that, because he always had small bags under his eyes. Also scars would appear on his skin out of nowhere. Every time we see him he has new ones. Ron darkly said that Jackson was probably harming himself, but I didn't believe that. His scars looked like they weren't made with an ordinary knife. Anyway, tomorrow start the Christmas holidays and Ron, Hermione, Nico and I are the only Gryffindors staying. That would be a perfect opportunity to investigate.

My nightmares are getting worse.

Every morning I would wake up to a new bloody gash on my skin. I would wash and heal them with water, but they just turned into scars. Every night Tartarus would torture me. And at first I thought it didn't have an impact on the outside, but I was so wrong.

I started struggling with the lessons. I would want to fall asleep in the middle of the class, but I had duties and I couldn't just ditch them ya know. I noticed that Harry was getting more suspicious. It just worsened the situation.

I tried talking to Nico, and he was relatable (with the sleeping problems), but I didn't want to worry him so I just told him I had insomnia. I noticed that my photo of Her was missing. I looked for it everywhere and couldn't find it so I just looked at another one-it's not like my walls aren't completely covered in pictures.

That night I tried drinking some sort of potion. I desperately pleaded the gods for it to work. I closed my eyes.

Hello again Jackson. - Tartarus said.

The next morning (first day of vacation)

I woke up. My whole body stung and my cushion and bed had blood smeared all over them. I tried using my powers to clean them up, but I felt too weak. So I walked into the bathroom and without even looking at myself in the mirror I started to shower. I discovered a new scar on my arm and another absolutely horrible one, that started at my collar bone and ended bellow my abdomen. I felt pain on my face.

Then I remembered the bloody cushion.

I wrapped myself in a towel and looked in the mirror. I almost screamed as I realised that I looked just like Luke with that giant claw mark on my face,that was going across my right eye and ended at my chin.

Fuck.

The morning of Christmas eve came. The Great Hall was unnaturally empty, for almost all the students have gone to celebrate the holidays with their families. There were four students from Gryffindor - Ron, Hermione,Nico and I,one boy an a girl from Ravenclaw, two girls from Hufflepuff and a lonely boy from Slytherin.

It was already 9 am and every teacher was here.

Every teacher except Jackson.

Suddenly the doors of the Great Hall opened slightly, only to let a hooded figure enter.My body tensed up, but I soon realised it was our DADA teacher. But why did he have a hood on? He just sat on the table (since there were not many people there was only one table we shared with the teachers) and wished us Merry Christmas silently. I noticed that there were 6 empty chairs. I was really confused, because I knew for a fact that all of the students were on the table.
