A/N: Hey guys and gals! I appreciate the support you have given so far. The vote was pretty much unanimous for Percy going to Hogwarts and skipping his training. I'm glad that was the result because that was what I was more leaning towards.
Rooney1077: You will find out next chapter and no they have not "remet" or so to say. I'm sorry I never clarified what year this is suppose to take in, it is suppose to be Harry's sixth year. Basically the Half Blood Prince.
Athena Diamond: Thanks, you support is amzing and I will try best to do so as frequently as possible.
Guest: Don't worry you will find out soon enough.
Aligator: Thanks your support is awesome. and I will.
Shadow: Of course and thanks for the support it means a lot.
Lol: Thank you and what do you mean by this kind of plot? Percy going to Hogwarts by himself? I will try my best to but most likely my updating schedule will be anywhere between every Friday and Sunday. There may be some outliers in updating like when I have time to and not busy with school or family/friends. For example this update.
Guest: Thank you for the support and I like these kind of stories to because Rick always had Percabeth. There are always other choices and because I couldn't find much stories of this pairing, I though why don't I take a shot at it.
Daughterofeos11: Thank you. I appreciate you advice and I hope so too.

Hermione
"C'mon Harry, Ron, don't want to be late or we'll miss the train. You too Ginny and Lavender." I wanted to get a good compartment on the Hogwarts Express. We usually sat in the back, the last carriage.
"Slow down Mione," Ron said calling form between Harry and Lavender. "Honey we have plenty of time no need to rush," came the motherly voice of Molly Weasley. I know I still had my real parents, but her and Arthur were like my wizarding parents.
"Ok, ok," I sighed in defeat. I wondered what was going to happen this year at school. It seems like every year something eventful happens even if they were dangerous.
We neared Platform 9¾ and got ready. We made sure no muggles were looking and we went one by one running through the pillar. We turned the corner to see the beautiful Hogwarts Express. I stare at it like I was that little eleven year old girl seeing it for the first time.
"Mione. Mione? Hermione!" Huh I turn around and see everyone waiting for me. I blush a deep red, embarrassed for not paying attention.
"Now you children behave yourself at school, I don't want to here any funny business from Albus. You understand?" Mrs. Weasley looked at each one of us looking at Ron a little longer than the rest of us.
"Hey! What did I do?" Ron was looking at his mother and she just smiled at him, giving him a tight hug. She then proceeded to give us each a hug before we boarded the train.
I was first of out group on out train seeing friends and saying hi to them as I passed by looking for a compartment for us. All of them were taken except for one which had a boy I never seen before. He had messy raven black hair and appeared to be in a deep sleep, even drooling a bit. His head rested on the window. He looked our age, but I couldn't be sure. I stared at him, feeling some sort of connection towards him. He seemed so familiar but I couldn't place my finger on it..
"Mione what are you staring at," asked one my best friends Ginny. She came closer before turning and looking into the compartment. "Oh," was all that left her mouth.
Harry, Ron, and Lavender came a couple seconds after Ginny and looked at the boy. "Have any of you ever seen him before?" We all shook our heads to Harry's question.
"Well he is sleeping and this is the only compartment that has space for all of us. We should try to not wake him up since that would be rude of us." I said stating the obvious.
Ron and Harry sat on the side with the boy that I could have sworn I seen before, while Ginny, Lavender and I sat opposite of them. The two boys started talking about Quidditch while we girls just talked about random things.
Neville came by to see how our summer has been. When he finally noticed the boy, "Who's the fella over there?" "No idea Neville, I was bout to ask you I you had ever seen him before," said Ginny.
"Nope, never seen him before but you guys should be careful, he might be a Death Eater in disguise or something. I'll see you guys once we get there," with that he left.
"Yeah! He might be a Death Eater. I thought Hogwarts doesn't accept new students above first year," exclaimed Ron,
"Ronald, calm down and lower your voice. You don't want to wake him now, do you?" Lavender just simply looked at Ron waiting for his response.
"Guess not," he replied grumbling. With that the Hogwarts Express started to leave the station. I prepared myself for the long tip ahead of us.
Percy (Dream/Flashack)
"I can't do it!" I was getting frustrated, I couldn't perform this damn spell. I've been trying to cast this spell all afternoon and it just wouldn't work.
"Percy, concentrate, you have the hand motion almost perfect and repeat after me. Ecks-pecto-toh pah-troh-numb." I watched as a white light emitted from Hecate's wand and out came a beautiful whit cat. It started prancing all over the place until soon disappearing.
"Percy calm down and clear your mind. Now try again." I got up again and took a stance. I moved my hand in the movement Hecat taught me and yelled, "Expecto Patronum!" There was a small white light and I started to get excited but then it just disappeared.
"Oh come on! What did I do wrong now?" I looked at Hecate and noticed she was thinking about something.
"Percy, remember when I first told you about this charm, you needed to think of a happy memory. The happiest one you ever had." "Yea I remember, that is what I am doing," I wasn't sure where she was going with this.
"Hmm. Exactly what memory did you decide to think about?" I was kind of embarrassed but told her, "My under water kiss with Annabeth after the Titan War."
"Ah, I understand what the problem is. Percy you need to move on from Annabeth, the reason you can't perform the Patronus Charm is because you are not thinking about your true happiest moment. If she hadn't broken your heart, then is most likely would have worked." I stared at her in shock, what could have made me more happy then my first kiss with Annabeth.
I started to think about what my happiest memories were and that when I got it. "Lady Hecate I am one hundred percent positive this time it will work. If you will please summon a Dementor I want to test something out."
Hecate looked at me with concern in her eyes, "Are you sure Perseus?" With determination and renewed vigor I nodded hopping this would work.
Hecate summoned a Dementor and it came at me. I was ready for it, "Expecto Patronum!" I relived all of the memories I had with Hermione, from the time we first met to out mostly happy but almost a little sad departure form each other. I thought about all the trouble we got into, the time we played, and the times I protected her from being bullied because she like to read.
A powerful bright white light illuminated from my wand. A beautiful white Pegasus come out and starts to fly around me and I stare in amazement. The Pegasus makes the dementor start to flee but before it can, Hecate makes it disappear.
"Congratulations Perseus. You managed to use the Patronus Charm successfully even with a dementor. Very impressive if I do say so myself, not many would have been able to pull of such a feat. Especially a Patronus that big." I turn red like a tomato as the goddess' compliment.
"If I may ask, what memories did you chose to think about this time? I am very confused what could have made such a powerful Patronus Charm." I turn even more red if it was even possible form her question.
"I chose the memories of my childhood best friend. She was one of the most amazing people in the world, up there with my mom," I reply smiling.
"I see, well take a ten minute break. We have been training all morning." I oblige to her order and lie down on the grass in this forest opening. Hecate had brought me to this forest which she put a protective barrier on it so no one could find me so we could train in peace. I couldn't wait to get to London to find Hermione.
Little did I know while I was busy sleeping on this train, that she was sitting straight across from me.
Harry
Ron and I got bored and decided to play some Wizard Chess. I was never good at chess in general but compared to Ron, Ron was like a master. He was the reason why we were able to save the Philosopher's Stone. Ron had called all the moves and sacrificed himself so we could continue.
Currently I was getting destroyed by Ron, he had taken almost all my pieces while I had taken only one of his pawns. While he was making his move I looked up to see what everyone else in our compartment was doing. I saw the mysterious boy next to me still sleeping. We were almost to Hogwarts and he was still sleeping. Blood hell what was he doing to make him so tired or was he just a person that like to sleep a lot.
Ginny and Lavender were talking about some girl stuff that I didn't bother to pay attention to know what they were talking about. Then I looked at Hermione and noticed she was staring at the boy next to me with a confused look on her face. She caught me looking at her looking at him and I raised an eyebrow. She blushed a deep red and turned to look out the window.
"Check mate Harry, looks like you lose. Now where are those five galleons you owe me?" I looked back at the board and saw he was right.
I sighed, "You won Ron, but your not getting your five galleons." "Oh come one Harry, don't be like that. We had a fair bet of five galleons to whoever won. C'mon you cant back down on a bet you agreed with your best mate."
Sighing knowing he was write I fished out three galleons and handed it to him. "C'mon mate where the other two?" I just shook my head, "Ron it was just a chess game."
"Just a chess game, it is not just a chess ga-" "Ron please I understand how much you love playing Wizard Chess, but listen I'll buy you whatever you want from the food cart." I looked at him to see that he was happy. "Thanks mate."
~~ Line Break ~~
I woke up with a sudden jolt and a stinging sensation on my left cheek. I looked across from me to see Ginny, Lavender, and Hermione giggling. I rub my left cheek to soothe the pain, "Oh, what was that for?"
"We wanted to wake you up, but thought it we would try something else." I looked at Ginny incredulously. "So… you decide to smack me."
"Yep." She kisses me on my left cheek and smiles at me. "Yea, yea, yea, don't think you've gotten away with this." This caused Ginny to pout a little. "Ok, fine I'll let you get away with it this time," I grumble. She smiles widely at me "Thanks Harry!"
"Anyways what did you need to wake me up for?" "Well we have finally arrived at school." I look out the window and finally noticing we weren't moving. "Oh ok."
I look next to me remembering the mysterious boy seeing that he was still sleeping. "What about him?" Ron shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know we tried waking him up but he won't budge. He must be a really deep sleeper or something."
We spent the next thirty minutes shaking and yelling into the boy's ear to see if he would wake up. Not one budge at all. "We should just leave him we are going to be late for sorting. Someone will check the train and see him anyways," Ron said giving up.
"Yea, I agree, he should be fine," Lavender stated agreeing with Ron. I look at Ginny and she just shrugs. Turning my attention to Hermione she agrees but I notice a little reluctance in her voice.
Percy
"Percy, remember all the training I have taught you. Try not to use any of your powers from you father. Keep it to a bare minimum if you need to." I have been talking to Lady Hecate in my dream the whole ride to Hogwarts. She was going over some final details that I should know.
"Percy its time to wake up, you'll be late for the sorting. Remember only Dumbledore and some of the other professors know you true identity. Be careful of who you trust, it is dangerous times now. And good luck on your quest."
"Thank you Lady Hecate for all your help." With a nod and smile she started to fade away.
I woke up and found myself where I was when I first got on this train. My left ear hurt a little but I didn't know why. I got out of my seat and looked around the train, but I couldn't find anyone else. I stepped out of the train and saw a huge beautiful castle in the moonlight. It looked amazing from here.
"Beautiful isn't it?" I turn around to see a blonde hair girl with silver eyes. "Yes, it is. I'm Percy, Perseus Jackson actually, but I prefer Percy." "Nice to meet you Mister Jackson. I'm Luna Lovegood."
"Nice to meet you Luna. Now, how do we get there?" She smiled and told me to follow her. We came up to an empty carriage and there was a skeletal horse in front of it.
"Lord, it is a great honor to meet you," is said while bowing its head. I walk up to it and pat it on the head still a little weirded out by a skeletal horse.
"You can see it can't you." I turn to face Luna, "What do you mean I can see it? Can't anyone see it?" "No, only those who have seen death and accepted it can see them. They are called Thestrals. Can you tell me why it bowed its head to you?"
I couldn't tell her the truth so I just shrugged my shoulders. "Well we should be on our way," she told me while getting into the carriage. I followed her into the carriage and the Thestral pulled us towards the castle.
"So Hogwarts is a castle?" "Yes, it is a wonderful castle but not all the people inside are… Anyways where you from? I thought Hogwarts didn't accept students above first years. And you have this accent? The U.S. perhaps?"
I looked at Luna and I could tell she was bullied. I thought to myself that I wouldn't let anyone bully her. She seemed like a nice girl, I wonder what monster would be so mean. I rubbed my neck, not being prepared to be bombarded with questions.
"Well yes I am from the U.S. which is why I have an accent. Although I was born in London but moved to the U.S. when I was eight. I'm a special case, I attended wizarding school in the U.S. but I had moved back to London and I needed to transfer schools so I ended up here." I don't know why I decided to tell her about my moving but I felt like I cold trust her.
The carriage pulled to a stop and Luna and I got out and walked to the front door. I saw a huge lake close by the entrance. "Hey Luna, is that a lake over there." "Yea, that's the Black Lake." I knew I was going to go swimming in there a lot on my free time.
I followed Luna through the main doors and through some corridors. As we walked, I noticed the architecture and knew Annabeth would love this place. Damn it I got to stop thinking about her, I need to move on she broke my heart.
We stopped in front of two big doors and I could hear voices from inside. "This is the dinning hall. It is where all meals are eaten and every year on the first day the first years are sorted by the sorting hat. You will probably have to go through the sorting hat too." With that she pushed through the doors with me right behind her.
All talking was stopped as we walked inside. I could notice everyone staring at me and Luna. All the way at the other side I saw an elderly man with long white hair and a long white beard. That must be Dumbledore by the description Chiron told me. He gave me a knowing smile before speaking.
"Ah, Ms. Lovegood glad you could join us. May I ask why you are late and who this young man is?" "Yes Professor, this is a new student as to why we are late is because… well I don't know." There were murmurs after Luna finished speaking.
"She is probably lying. She probably talked to him about all those mythical creatures she claims to see and distracted him." This made me angry as I saw a kid with blond hair and a green and black hair.
"Why don't you sit down, shut up and mind your own business." He stared at me with an open mouth. "Do you know who I am? I'll get my fat-" "That's enough Draco." I saw a man sitting at the table Dumbledore was sitting. He had long black hair, black robes, and he looked kind of depressing.
"Thank you Ms. Lovegood you may return to the Ravenclaw table. As for you what is name?" Luna gave a smile before wakling over to her table. I suspected Dumbledore already knew my name, "Perseus Jackson, but call me Percy." I heard a faint gasp but I couldn't tell where it was from.
"Well Mr. Jackson as a new student you must be sorted to see which house you will be placed in just like the first years. Come along now." He was waving me over to a stool holding a hat. This must be the hat Luna was talking about.
While I was walking over to Dumbledore a girl form the table Luna went to go sit at shouted, "Professor how could he be allowed to attend Hogwarts. I thought they only accepted students starting from first year?"
"Well Lucy, there were some complications and exceptions. Mr. Jackson over here is a complicated story but that is not for me to tell because it is his story should he chose to tell it that is business."
I was grateful for Dumbledore's answer. When I got next to Dumbledore I could see the girls staring at me. Was something on my face? I hoped not. Before putting on the hat Dumbledore whispered to me, "Ah Perseus quite the young man, only been here for 5 minutes and have all the girls swooning over you." I turned a bright pink at his comment and rubbed my neck.
"Now Mr. Jackson, please take a seat and sit still." I did as I was told and I felt something being placed on my head. I heard a voice but noticed no one said anything. Then I heard the voice again and figured it was the hat.
"Yes you nit, it is me." "Um, ok so how exactly do I get sorted?" I was curious how a talking hat could place me in a house. I wonder what they meant by house anyways.
"Well I look at your memories and decide." "My m-memories?" I asked as I paled a little. I didn't want anyone to know about my past. "Hmm, ah yes I see loyal to friends, you would sacrifice the world to save them. You would've hade rather you died then Charles on that ship? But also intelligent in your own way even if you believe your not. The way you used that muggle food to choke that lion, very creative. Trust me boy, you are smart even if other thinks your not. Ah, extremely brave to, would face death to save others. Taking on such a curse that could have killed you to save New York and the rest of the world. Interesting, you also have a dark side to you. Do you think you could have stopped form killing Akhlys had Annabeth not been there?" I was speechless. How could have a hat just simply look into my past memories.
"Perseus Jackson! You shall be placed in SLYT-"
