Ron's p.o.v

As Snape walked into the class, I looked over at Percy who looked rather surprised at this. I decided to ask him about it later.

"Today we shall be doing -" he was cut across by Percy. "Sevvy! What up man?" The whole class stared at Percy like he was some lunatic who had dropped down from outer space. I mentally slapped myself for I had forgotten to warn Percy about Snape but then if he knew Snape that only meant that he could be a death eater. Now Snape would probably deck fifty points off Gryffindor and give Percy detention for a week. But what happened next surprised me more.

"Well well well. If it isn't our hero Percy Jackson. You're going to be a thorn in my side this year aren't you?" He walked upto Percy and gave him a man hug. By now the whole class was staring at them, their mouths agape. "Why I never!" Percy said feigning hurt. This guy was a total psycho.

"How has life been so far?" Snape asked. "Great. What about you?" "Likewise. But the fact that I have to deal with imprudent students is deplorable." Hey! After Percy went back to his seat Snape drawled on and I slumped on the desk with a bored expression on my face.

"Today we shall be dealing with boggarts." he said in that oily voice of his. "But sir we have already cov-" "Yes miss Granger I am well aware of the fact that you'll did boggarts in your third year but one would hardly take a werewolf seriously these days. Now please sit down before I give you detention and kindly refrain from being that insufferable know it all that you are."

Hermione looked outraged but nevertheless, she sat down. I was fuming. How dare he talk to her like that? "Greasy haired slimeball" I thought as we lined up.

Hermione was afraid that Professor Mcgonagall would tell her that she failed every class, Harry's fear were dementors, Neville was scared of Snape and my fear was none other than Arragon. Lastly it was Percy's turn. He stood in front of the cupboard and waited. But the Boggart never appeared. He turned to Snape with confusion etched on his face.

"Why isn't it coming out Severus?" he asked. But Snape was also looking at Percy like he had grown another head or something.

"The Boggart refuses to come out Percy because you do not fear anything. You are willing or face anything with extreme courage and so the Boggart fears you instead. This has never happened before."

The whole class stared at Percy with awe and a little fear.

"Oh" was all he said. This just made me doubt him more. Weren't death eaters supposed to fear You-Know-Who. Now I was more sure than ever that he was a death eater and had done something. I decided to corner him after the class and interrogate him on my own. Harry was too thick headed to believe me and Hermione was always in the library.

Percy's p.o.v

After that rather uncomfortable and weird class, I decided to go to the Gryffindor common room before lunch. But as always my theory that the best people have the rottenest luck was proved right once again.

As I was heading towards the common room, Ron cornered me. " I know what you are." he yelled. I tensed for a second but almost immediately regained composure. "There is no need to yell or spit in my face. I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about." I said calmly.

"Don't play dumb with me. I know that you are a bloody death eater!" he snarled.

That got me cracking. I was rolling on the floor laughing. "Death eater... hahaha." Once I finally managed to get a hold of myself, he looked at me like I was some weirdo.

"Ron, who would want to eat Thanatos? He must taste disgusting."

Ron then said to me in a low voice. "You're working for you know who. You might have got everyone else fooled but not me. That is why you have the dark mark on your forearm." Uh oh. Ron must have mistaken my SPQR tattoo for the dark mark.

"Dude, I'm not working for Voldemort." he flinched at the name. "The tattoo I have is not the dark mark. Look." I rolled up my sleeve and showed him the tattoo. He looked at the tattoo and saw that it was just a trident with a single stripe with the letters SPQR.

His ears turned red when he saw that it wasn't the dark mark. "So you're not a death eater?"  He asked wearily, the ire in his eyes receding slowly. "No man. I'd never work for a noseless guy." I replied. "Sorry." He said, sheepishly rub u gathered back of his neck.

"It's ok man. I understand. So are we cool now or what?" I asked. He held out his hand and I shook it. That was the beginning of a new friendship. "By the way, how do you know Snape?" he asked curiously. "Uh.... he had come to my school a few years ago and we became friends." I replied. He looked convinced and dropped the subject.

Once we went to the common room, Harry, Ron, Hermione and I chatted for a while and then we went to the great hall for lunch. The rest of the day passed swiftly without anymore weird events. After dinner, the golden trio, Neville, Ginny and I were sitting in the common room with absolutely nothing to do.

"Guys we have over two hours at hand. Most of the homework is done, its too early for bed and we are completely bored." said Ginny. "Any ideas?"

I was about to say no when all of a sudden, an idea popped up in my head.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, have you'll ever heard of truth or dare?" I asked with a smirk plastered on my face. This was gonna get really exciting.
