Percy Jackson, The Path To Being A Wizard

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Harry's POV

"Lets go! We are gonna be late!" Lily yelled, seeming to bounce with excitement.

"Calm down." I said, resting a hand on my bouncing daughters shoulders. "We still have thirty minutes before the train leaves."

"But Daaaad." Lily groaned, "it's my first year! I can't risk it."

I couldn't help but laugh at what she was saying, it was almost the exact thing that James and Albus had said for their first years, before they realised that there really wasn't much to worry about.

"You know what, I have an idea." I said, shooting a look over my shoulder at my grinning wife.

"What is it?" Lily asked, only to be interrupted by the initialization of the idea.

"BOYS!!!!" Ginny yelled, sounding almost exactly like her mother and causing a round of loud crashes to sound before we saw both boys scrambling down the stairs.

"Where is she?" James asked, looking around in fear at the thought of an angry grandmother.

"She's not here, silly." Lily said, breaking into a round of giggles.

"Then who..." Albus started, before he noticed who was standing behind me. "Yelled...." He finished

"Hi mom." James said, walking over and giving her a hug. "How was work?"

"It was good, the Harpies are making fantastic progress in practice, I think we might just win this year." Ginny said, smiling as she returned James's hug.

"So... why did you yell?" Albus asked, looking between me and his mother.

"It's time to leave." I replied, resting a hand on his shoulder. "Did you pack everything?"

"Yep!" Albus replied, indicating the trunk that had tumbled down the stairs behind him.

"You owl?" I asked.

"In the kitchen." Albus replied.

"Your robes?"

"Check."

"Caldron?'

"Yep."

"Your books?"

"Please, I didn't even touch them after we bought them, I just placed them straight into the trunk." Albus said, like it was obvious, which it was.

"What about your wand?" I asked.

"It's right.... Here....." Albus said, as he started digging through his pocket looking for the wand. "Where is it?!?" Albus yelled, as he started ripping through the pocket as if it would magically appear, which coincidentally, it did. "Found it!' he yelled, holding the wand up in victory and causing James to break down laughing at what he viewed as a prank worthy of Gred and Forge, even though he never knew Gred.

"James." Ginny scolded, "What have we said about pranking your brother?"

"Only do it if I include Lily?" James asked.

"Well yes, but no." Ginny answered, folding her arms and giving my son, the look.

"Um..... OH! James suddenly exclaimed, seeming to figure out what she meant. "Don't end the prank too soon!"

"Exactly!" Ginny exclaimed, "but I will let you off the hook, just this once."

"Thanks mom!" James and Albus yelled, one in gratitude and one with sarcasm.
