After we came back from Diagon Alley, Ron pulled us to the side and said, "Did you guys see the dark mark on Percy's arm??" I was confused. How will Percy be a death eater?

"Don't be stupid Ronald." Hermione said. "He found out about wizards a few days ago."

"Yes, and he looked amazed after seeing magic." Ginny replied.

"Or he is just a very good actor." I figured Hermione was about to retort something back so I quickly added, "Why don't we ask him tomorrow? I am anyways going to bed." Everyone agreed.

Next morning, I wanted to really make Percy a death eater. I walked out and got splashed in water. Percy and George were rolling on the floor, laughing. For some reason even I started laughing.

Ginny pulled Percy aside and said something. He smiled and said something back. (A/n she told him thanks for making George laugh. )

At breakfast, Ron as usual was stuffing his food, Hermione and Ginny were disgusted, George and Percy were talking and Mrs. Weasley was making me eat more than usual.

"Percy are you a Death Eater?" Ron suddenly busted out. Silence. That's what you could hear. Complete silence. It was broken by a loud Snicker caused by Percy. Ron was confused and said, "Pull up your left sleeve, I saw a tattoo yesterday. "

Gasps were heard and Percy rolled his eyes and pulled his sleeves up. It had a SPQR tattoo with a trident and a single bar. Ron went a bright crimson colour. "I am sorry. I didn't know. I am sorry Percy."

I rolled my eyes. When Ron wanted to apologise he did it for the whole day. I wasn't wrong. Ron kept apologizing to Percy until he flashed a lopsided grin and said, "No problem, Holding grudges is a Nico thing. Besides I have no interest in eating Thanatos."

Since yesterday, we had got pretty close to Percy. Once you get to know him, you know he is very cheerful and extremely goofy. We had got quite used to his odd choice of words. Mrs.Weasley's voice came telling us to get our trunks and sit in the car.

Everyone piled in the enchanted car while Percy just stood outside. I laughed. "Come in Percy, the car is enchanted. " I said.

His expression was priceless. He looked amazed before paling dramatically when the car started flying. He gripped the arm rest tightly shutting his eyes, his lips moving slightly. Ron leaned over and whispered to me, "Why is he scared of heights? He would have made a fair beater." I nodded not really sure why we were whispering.

Once we got down, Hermione asked Percy, "Are you scared of heights?" He nodded squinting at his ticket. He held it out to her and asked her to read what it said. Hermione frowned.

"Are you making fun of me." Percy shook his head very fast.

"No no...I have dyslexia..I can't read." She nodded and said, "You will find out, come."

  TIME SKIP TO PLATFORM 9 AND 10

"No way in Hades I am going to run head first into the brick wall" He said. "I like my head thank you."

Ron rolled his eyes and walked through the barrier. Percy gasped then sighed and face palmed. He also ran straight through the barrier. Hermione gave me what-the-hell-just-happened expression.  I shrugged and we went through the wall. 

I saw the train and a smile crept up to my face on seeing the Hogwarts Express. I guess this was the first time we were on time. We got onto the train and sat in a compartment. Just as the train started moving, Neville and Luna came to sit with us.

I saw that Percy glanced at her then raised hiss eyebrows. "Do I know you?" he asked. Luna shook her head and said, "I am Luna Lovegood and this is Neville, who are you?"

"Percy Jackson." he replied. They nodded and sat down.

After 5 minutes, Percy whined saying, "How long before we reach?" Ginny rolled her eyes and said, "Its been 5 minutes, there is about 8 hours left." He groaned and leaned his head against the window. 

The compartment was quiet. Like eerily quiet. Percy started fidgeting. Since no one else was doing anything everyone started watching him. He didn't seem to notice and kept fidgeting. I looked over and saw Ron who was ready to explode in three, two, one

"Will you stop fidgeting." he said. Percy jumped a little and rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry."

After a while I saw Hermione snuggle close to Ron who wrapped his arm around her. I was happy that they finally admitted they liked each other. I honestly was tired of all the drama since our third year. Ginny put her head on my shoulder and started sleeping. 

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Percy put up a hand to his hair, absent-mindedly brushing a piece of grey hair. I made a mental note to ask him later. 

Percy kept glancing at Luna, as if answer will be written on her face. After a few hours, Hermione said, "We must change into our robes, we will arrive soon."

TIME SKIP TO HOGWARTS

"Wow" Percy, Luna and Hermione said together. I couldn't agree less. The castle looked very new. I guess they rebuild the whole Hogwarts. It looked majestic. The lights seemed on and the castle was glowing in the dark. It felt good being back.

 Percy whistled. "Annabeth would have loved this place."he whispered underneath his breath. I wondered who Annabeth was.

"First years, over hear." Hagrid's friendly voiced boomed. I smiled and waved and waved at the half-giant. He waved back. Percy stiffened beside me. I looked over and followed his gaze. He was staring at a young woman with red hair and kind blue eyes. Probably a new teacher. She was talking with Professor Mcgonagall. She was now the Headmistress after Snape and Dumbledore died.

She came over and asked Percy to stay outside for sorting. After that, she looked over to me with a look that said, please-behave-this-year. With a small nod of my head,  We all went and sat on our respective tables. She said the normal speech which Dumbledore usually would say and Professor Sprout got all the first years inside. The sorting hat sang its usual song and the sorting began.

After a very long sorting, Professor Mcgonagall said, "We have a transfer student this year, I hope you will make him feel welcome." The doors opened with a bang and Percy walked in sheepishly.

The red head at the table chuckled and Prof. Sprout said, "Perseus Jackson" "Its Percy" he automatically  corrected. She just shrugged and placed the hat on his head.

It seemed to have taken awfully long as the students started whispering among themselves.

Hmm a tricky one. The hat suddenly said, making everyone jump. Well, better it be...
