Percy

So I had to spend 1 week in the infirmary! A week!!!! Do you understand how horrible that is for someone with ADHD???? I was going to die if I had to stay in that bed for another hour!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I definitely ended up speeding up my healing process. I kept telling Madam Pomfrey I was thirsty and asking for water, and while I would drink some, I also used it to heal my side.

I didn't do to much, as not to give myself away, just enough to make the healing go a little faster.

Harry Ron and Hermione came by a lot, pretty much each day after classes, and after dinner. They brought me all the work I was missing so we would all work on everything whenever they would come.



So long story short I AM FREE!!!!! It is now the second week of September.

Class was ending in like 5 minutes. My friends were in Charms currently so I raced there as fast as I could.

Just after I made it to the class, people started exiting. I leaned against the doorway, waiting for the bright red hair. Once I see the tall red head I jump on the black haired boy next to him.

"Bloody hell!" Ron screamed.

Harry let out some cross between and scream and a laugh as I got off him and stood next to him.

"What the hell Percy, you have me a heart attack!!" Harry talked at me. "And if you say it's a gift I will kill you!"

I gave him a cheeky grin, "Well I guess you can say I have a talent for it!"

Before Harry could attack me, Hermione stepped between us and draped her arms around both of us. "While you entrance was unexpected we're happy to see you Percy! I though you weren't getting out for like two more days."

"Yeah I was doing better than Pomfrey expected so she let me out today." I explained.

"I'm sure healing that fast made you thirsty," Ron said while laughing.

"Wow, funny! I'd like to see you be waking around after getting attacked by a Hippogriff!" I jeer at him.

Hermione rolled her eyes as she started to walk in front of us, "Well let's drop our stuff off at the common room, then we can go see Hagrid."

"Yeah we haven't really seen him much since we've spent our free time with you," Harry says as he shoves me slightly.

We joke around as we head to the Gryffendor commons room. I just now realized that I had only been in this room like three times.

Wow.

We hung out in the common room for a little while then headed out to go see Hagrid. Harry told me that they had one more lesson on Hippogriffs (with no student interaction) then started learning about flobberworms. Apparently Hagrid tried to find the least harmful creature he could.

"Honest Percy it may be a good thing you saved Malfoy." When we all looked at Hermione like she was crazy she continued, "Just think about it. If Malfoy has gotten hurt, even just scratched, you know he would of gone crying to his father. And we saw how powerful his father can be last year, so Hagrid could of gotten in a lot of trouble."

"Obviously we wish you hadn't gotten hurt mate," Ron tells me, "but when she says it like that..."

I laugh, "Look I may not know Hagrid like you guys do, but I'm glad that I helped him, even if I did get hurt in the process."

Harry starts laughing, "You're insane Perce! Like honestly, how are you real?"

We all laugh and quickly arrive at Hagrid's hut. Hermione nocked on the door as we stood back. I was looking off into the forest, and was startled to see a black shape on the outskirts.

Without realizing it I took a few steps toward the forest, and I'm fairly certain the thing I see is a black dog.

I go to take another step toward the animal when I hear my brother call my name. I spin around as see that I was farther from the hut then I realized.

My friends are looking at me confused, and I hold up a finger telling them to give me a sec. I turn back to the forest, but any sign that the dog was ever there is gone.

I slowly turned back to the others and walked back over toward them.

"Percy, what the hell man?" Ron asked me.

I shake my head, "Sorry, I just thought I saw something."

Harry gives me a look, but I just shake my head, not now.

"Well. Whatever it was, it doesn't really matter. Let's go inside," Harry says.

I send him a grateful look and follow the group inside.

Hagrid made us tea and for a few minutes no one said anything.

"Percy, I've been meaning to stop by and say sorry, this never should o hap-" Hagrid started but I cut him off.

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine, and we should just be glad that it wasn't Malfoy who was hurt. If what I've heard is right I'm going to cause you less trouble in this department than he would." I tell him.

Hagrid laughed, it was a big booming laugh, "I guess yer right bout that!"

We all relaxed after that and enjoyed ourselves.

"When do quidditch practices start Harry?" Ron asked.

Harry leaned forward, clearly excited. "In a few weeks. Try outs will be Saturday, (just pretend that one of them left bc they were 7th year last year) for a chaser, and the first game in the first week of November."

Obviously I knew what quidditch was, Harry told me all about it before school started. At first I though I would be terrified to get into a broom, because ya know, Zeus, but then I realized that this wasn't really his domain. This was Hecate's domain, and my father laid claim over Zeus when he was here.

"Percy, you should try out," Hermione tells me.

I run my hands through my hair, "I don't know guys..." I stop mid sentence when I see an object flying toward the side of my head. I reach up with my left hand and grab it. "I don't really know if it's for me."

I look down at what I just caught and saw that it was a pillow that Ron had grabbed off the floor.

"Not your thing my ass!" Harry shouted. "Percy you just caught something that was barley even in your line of sight, while just sitting here relaxing! Imagine if you were in a game, actively looking for things being thrown at you!"

Ron was beaming, "He's right mate, you would be a natural!"

"I don't know guys, really,"

"Percy, I told Harry this when he was hesitant about joining our first year. Quidditch is in your blood, your father was one of the best quidditch players in school history!" Hermione tells me.

"He was a chaser too," Hagrid added.

I let out an over dramatic sigh, "I'll try out." I look at Harry, "You are not going to pull any strings to get me on the team though!"

He holds his hands up in a mock surrender and we all start laughing.

Today had been great, but there was something nagging the back of my mind.

I couldn't stop thinking about he dog. Could it have been the grim?




So Percy playing Quidditch? Will it go great or will he run away screaming?

Tell me what y'all think, of you have any questions or suggestions. Your feedback really means a lot!

Peace.
