Half-Bloods at Hogwarts (ON HOLD)

A Ride To Remember

Percy

Percy hated bullies. Draco Malfoy was one reason why.

As soon as they got onto the train, he'd showed up. "What's this bunch of wizards? They look like... Americans." Draco wrinkled his nose, looking at Percy, Leo, and Nico sitting casually in their new black dresses. Well, technically (Annabeth said) they were robes. Yeah right.

Leo fumed. "For your information, we happen to be half--" Jason clamped a hand over his mouth.

"Half starved to death! We haven't eaten since... Two hours ago? Yup, we're just half starved. That's what Leo meant to say!" He smiled nervously, Draco eyeing him suspiciously.

"Well, you look like someone half decent." Draco smirked. "Unlike your... Friends here. My names Malfoy. Draco Malfoy."

Percy tried to hold in a laugh. "Draco? That's a very... Lovely name." He snorted.

"Think my names funny, do you?" Draco sneered. "Well, this isn't the first time someone's been so rude about it."

"Save it, Malfoy." A boy stepped out from one of the compartments. He had short, shaggy raven black hair, almost identical to Percy's. He wore rounded glasses around his big, bright eyes. Percy could just see the hint of a scar below his front bangs.

"Potter." Draco snarled. "You're still here? Thought you'd been run down by the train."

"Well I wasn't, no thanks to you." The boy frowned. "Now don't go poisoning the minds of the exchanges. They've been through enough already, I suppose."

Draco scowled, then walked past them, purposely bumping his shoulder into the boy's. "Watch your back, Potter." Before he left, he turned to Jason. "If you ever change your mind, let me know. I'll be seeing you in class then?"

Jason looked nervous. "I--I guess?"

Draco smirked, taking one last look at Percy, then left.

Jason let out a deep sigh. "Yeah right."

The boy smiled. "Nice seeing some more wizards who chose the right side. My name's Harry. Harry Potter." He extended his hand towards Percy.

Percy shook it. "Thanks, it think. I'm Percy, this is Jason, Leo, and Nico." He gestured to his friends and Harry shook their hands happily. Nico looked a little stiff when he grabbed his hand unwillingly, but he jerked it away quickly. (A/N DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT HIM LIKING HARRY, OKAY?!?!)

"I don't like to be touched." Nico shrugged away.

Harry adjusted his glasses nervously. "Oh, sorry about that. So what are you guys--"

"Harry! Blimey, where've you been!"

Ron came running down the hall, a joyful expression plain in his face. Harry's face lit up. "Ron! I haven't seen you for ages!" He laughed, shaking his hand once he got to him. "I'd thought the ministry might've gotten you! Have you seen Hermione?"

Ron smiled cheekily. "She's back at the bank with those Americans. Teaching 'em how to draw money to pounds." He rolled his eyes. "Typical."

Harry nodded. "So, there are more of them, eh? I'd thought three was enough exchanges. Are they all boys?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.

Leo laughed. "You wish it were that easy. So, you my new homies in da hood, right? Cuz I could need some help finding a hot chick around here! All da ladies love Leo!"

Harry and Ron just stared at him. They turned to Percy. "Is he speaking English?"

Percy snorted, barely keeping himself from crying in laughter. Jason apparently was doing the same thing. Nico even cracked a small smile.
