Harry's p.o.v

When the three of us walked out of the fireplace and into the burrow, I saw Percy sitting in the living room laughing away with Ginny. He said something and she blushed. And guess what happened next? I got jealous.

" Percy you are so funny." said Ginny. "That I am mademoiselle." said Percy, mocking a bow.

"Hi Ginny. We're back." I said, trying to get her attention. She smiled at me and gave me a little wave and went off to help Mrs. Weasley set the table.

The next two weeks passed with Percy becoming great friends with the twins, Mrs. Weasley telling me that I was too skinny, Percy trying out his robes and complaining that they were medieval and other stuff.

Before I knew it the day of departure had arrived. On the morning of 1st September, the Weasleys, Hermione, Percy and I were all gathered in front of platforms 9 and 10.

Mr. Weasley said something to Percy and he looked at Mr. Weasley like he had switched to some alien language. "You seriously want me to run at a brick wall?" He asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Watch me." said Mr. Weasley and ran straight into the wall.

Percy's jaw dropped, but he also did the same thing. Once we had reached the other side, Mrs. Weasley gave us all goodbye hugs including Percy who just gave her a lopsided smile and hugged her back.

Once we were done with our goodbyes, we boarded the train and made our way towards an empty compartment Ginny went off to find Dean and jealousy coursed through my veins again, but I told myself to shut up. Once we took our seats, Hermione started to ask Percy all sorts of questions about his school.

"Where exactly is this school in America?, Who is your headmaster?, Why haven't I ever heard about Chiron's institution for the magically talented? What is-" but he cut her off.

"Geez Hermione! Stop and take a breath will you ? You remind me of someone. Even she can't stand not knowing stuff." he said laughing, causing her to blush.

Percy sure knew how to maintain his cover, I thought.

Hermione left Percy after that and started reading instead.

Ron's p.o.v

After that, Percy took out a pen from his pocket and started fidgeting with it.

"Why do you have a pen? We only use quills at Hogwarts." I asked curiously. He simply shrugged and said that he was used to pens and so I decided to drop the subject.

I was about to ask Harry what he had planned for quidditch this year since he was team captain, but before I could open my mouth, the compartment door slid open and there stood my worst enemy:

Draco Malfoy was standing at the entrance to our compartment with that ever so annoying smirk plastered across his stupid face. His hair was slicked back and his two cronies stood on either side.

"Well well well, what do we have here? Potty, Weasel and Granger." he drawled.

"Get out Malfoy." said Hermione. Malfoy narrowed his eyes at her and said "Don't talk to me you filthy mudblood."

How dare he talk to her like that? I was about to get up and give him a piece of my mind but Percy beat me to it.

He got up and walked towards Malfoy. "I'm Percy Jackson. You must be Draco Malfoy, nice meet you." He stuck his hand out.

What was this guy playing at ? I was about to yell at Percy when he gripped Malfoy's hand and flipped him over. Malfoy landed on his stomach with a thud. "Apologize." Percy growled. I shuddered at his tone. Crabbe and Goyle for once did the sensible thing and ran away.

"Never" spat Malfoy. Percy only pressed his knee harder into Malfoy's back. He coughed out an apology and Percy let him go. Malfoy then scrambled out without another word.

After that Percy went back to his seat like nothing had happened. He then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Harry's p.o.v

I was awed. Nobody ever talked back to Malfoy much less flip him like that because they all feared his father. Percy had some serious courage.

When the train finally pulled over at Hogwarts we all got out. Percy didn't bother changing into his robes. He complained that the uniforms looked medieval. Again.

Percy took one look at the castle and whistled appreciatively. "Annabeth would love this place" he said. We sat in our boat and crossed the lake. The son off Poseidon looked more than happy to get into the boat.

When we reached the castle, he walked through the doors and into the great hall. I wished Percy luck for the sorting and sat down at the Gryffindor table.

Dumbledore stood up and started his usual speech. " I would like to welcome you'll back to Hogwarts. The forest is out of bounds to all first years. Also this year, I would like you all to help me in welcoming a new transfer student from America."

At once there were comments al over the hall. Dumbledore waited for the talking to die down before continuing.

" I warn you, do not anger him for he is an extremely powerful wizard." Many people stifled a laugh. I smirked. If only they knew who Percy really was.

"Please join me in welcoming Perseus Jackson."
