Summary: Andromeda Jackson. She was the girl who called herself Perseus or Percy. She was Malfoy's girlfriend, meaning she was off limits. But that didn't stop Harry Potter from crushing on her.

Authors Note: I'm not sure whether I should be posting small chapters frequently or large chapters infrequently. Because I'm not sure how fast I should post, and how large. If I post frequently, the chapters might only be around 800 words to 1k. If large, I'll see if I can try to do 5k and above. What do you think?

The Meeting II

The first time Harry Potter saw Andromeda Jackson was in their first year. He had passed by the raven haired girl's compartment, and she could hear her babbling to a handsome, tall boy with a yellow badger crest on his robe.

The compartment next to hers was empty, so he decided to sit in it. He wasn't sure whether it was fortunate or unfortunate for him, but he could still hear her babbling from the next compartment. Harry laid his head on the seat, sighed, and listened to the story. He was actually going to Hogwarts!

"Perseus stopped in the kingdom of Aethiopia." Her voice didn't sound british, or European at all. She sounded American.

"This mythical Ethiopia was ruled by King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia, having boasted her daughter Andromeda were equal in beauty to the Nereids, drew down the vengeance of Poseidon, who sent a sea serpent, Cetus on the land, which destroyed both man and beast. The oracle of Ammon announced that no relief would be found until the king exposed his daughter Andromeda to the monster, and so she was fastened naked to a rock on the shore. Perseus slew the monster and, setting her free, claimed her in marriage." The girl's voice ended.

"Wow!" A boy's voice, who Harry guessed was the boy sitting in the next compartment exclaimed. "How'd you make that story?" He asks.

"I didn't make it up, it's a Greek Myth."

"A greek myth?" He asks. "What's that, a muggle story?"

"Yes, it was basically stories from Ancient Greece about how they thought the world was made, and how stuff happened."

"So, then are you a muggleborn?" He asks.

"No," She spoke again. "I'm a pureblood. Grew up all muggle in America, but I was born in Britain. My mom read those stories to me since I was a kid. I was named after Andromeda, but I wouldn't want to be some princess tied to a rock naked. I would rather be Perseus, or some other hero that doesn't die a tragic death. So don't call me Andromeda, call me Perseus or Percy Jackson."

"Isn't that a boy name?"

"Do you care?" Harry chuckles.

"No," The boy answers. "Not really. I'm Cedric Diggory."

Harry stopped listening to his compartment neighbors when the compartment door slid open, and a gangly, freckled red-headed boy walked in.

"Do you mind if I sit here? All the other compartments are full."

"Granger, Hermione." Professor McGonagall exclaims. "GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouts.

Ron groans next to Harry.

"Jackson, Andromeda." The girl from the compartment glides to the stool gracefully. He notices that Malfoy perks his head up when he sees her. He smirks appreciatively, and Harry didn't even want to know what the blonde boy was thinking.

"HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat shouts, and now Malfoy groans. She sits next to the other boy from her compartment, and he smiles at her.

"Hmm..." A voice purrs inside Percy's head. "Where should I sort you?"

Just keep me away from my grandfather, she pleads to the hat on top of her head. Please.

"But it's not very good to be prejudiced, hmm?"

No, it's just... I don't want to be known for my grandfather. I want to be know for being me.

"That's very slytherin of you, is it not?"

Please, just not with my grandfather.

"But you're grandfather was a very promising lad. Why, if he didn't become a dark lord, he probably would have revolutionised the wizarding world. Are you sure you don't want to go into slytherin?"

I don't know anyone in slytherin. Why don't you just put me in Hufflepuff?

"Hmm... Well, you do have a nice brain, and you are full of courage. But, oh my, such power. So much power indeed. But where to put you? Ahh, but you would fit so well in Slytherin. All of the characteristics, and your ancestry to boot! But if not slytherin..."

"HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat shouts. While the hat still lingers on her head, it whispers, "You still would do well in Slytherin."

Percy passes the hat to Professor McGonagall who calls out "Longbottom, Neville." and skips to the Hufflepuff table gracefully. She waves a hand at Cedric Diggory. Cedric pats a spot of the bench beside him, and she sits with him.

Though Percy kept a smile on her face as she clapped for Neville Longbottom's sorting, her sea green eyes linger to the Slytherin table, and they bore into it with longing. How would it be like? She finds herself asking. If only...

Authors Note: I'm spoiling some of the plot here. But there will be a time skip to fourth year in the next couple of chapter, because Percy will be a replacement of Cho Chang. I'm pretty sure Harry didn't start crushing on Cho Chang until third year, and he didn't admit it to himself until 4th year.

Harry/Percy is endgame, but Percy's first boyfriend will be Draco Malfoy. And Harry and Percy won't even date until at least 7th year, which is right after defeating Gaia. She'll still go to Camp Jupiter and stuff, so she'll disappear after yule break for 6th year.

Now, I reveal that Percy is related to Slytherin. In what way, find out yourself. There's already so much clues.

And I'm now going to be using roman numerals for chapter numbers. Get it? "Roman" numerals...

...I suck...
