I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians Rick Riordan does and J.K Rowling owns Harry potter. Ok you want to know why I have trouble updating my newer story's it's because I try and make them the best I can be and there are so many bad Harry potter and Percy Jackson crossovers out there that if there is even one thing that is bad in my writing I delete the whole thing cause I feel like you all will hate it…..Anyway since nobody is probably reading this authors note, without further ado The boy in the shadows. BTW if you have any questions pm me or post it on my wall I'll try and answer it ASAP.

Harry's pov

Okay, I'll admit it I think I may have overreacted at the arrival of the new kid…well he's almost an adult. To be truthful he's actually quite nice. After dinner the twins brought him back to the common room and to be frank I was a little scared they all had this weird glint in their eye. It was the look of when Fred and George had a crazy idea that was going to harm the school in some way or another. This is how the night went.

(When slanted means that in a flashback or memory whatever word floats your boat and um well this is my first flash back so try not to flame)

Flashback

Ron and I were into a game of chess by the fire, we were sitting in the chairs closest to the fire and Hermione was leaning against my chair knitting away furiously. She was using a sea green ball of yarn; it sort of reminded me of the new kids eyes. It was a brisk and cool night the windows in the common room were opened slightly giving us fresh air but not too much to make us cold.

The common room was only half full but had a group of girls chattering loudly and blushing in the far right hand corner. I didn't really care what they were talking about but every once and a while Hermione would scowl so I could tell she was listening.

When suddenly the painting swung open and I could hear the Twins loud laughs as they entered their arms around the new kids shoulders. Lee Jordan was clutching his stomach as Percy shook his head grinning. All of a sudden the girls in the corner grew quiet as they watched Percy. I rolled my eyes, and made my move on the chess board

"Pawn to E 4" I called as my piece moved across the board. Ron grinned

"And check mate…..mate" He called as he made the final move instantly trapping my king. I sighed, Ron always won I was used to it by now. I looked around the room to find that the new kid wasn't laughing anymore but his head was tilted to the side as he watched our chess pieces immediately re arrange themselves on the chess board. He looked confused and startled….almost like he'd never seen magic before. He turned away from watching us and shook his head, maybe trying to get rid of his thoughts. He pointed to Hermione who was knitting by the fire and nudged Fred who nodded grinning. Now I was curious, I watched as Percy cautiously approached our table. With his back turned to Fred and George he didn't look as confident but wary like he wasn't sure if what he was doing was a good idea or not .

He went around our table and sat crisscrossed on the ground in front of Hermione. By now he had caught Ron's attention who was staring at him weirdly. He cautiously brought a finger up to Hermione and poked her shoulder lightly. She was so immense in her knitting that she hadn't noticed him. When she didn't respond he scratched his head stumped. Then he tried a different tactic.

"Hi… I'm Percy, you must be Hermione" As soon as the words left his lips her eyes shot up and stared at him in shock as did the rest of the common room. Everyone except for Fred, George and Lee who were writing down something on a paper.

"yes, I'm Hermione. How do you know my name?" she asked her voice wavering. He grinned

"ahh you are alive, um Fred told me your name. Listen there is a rumor going around that you like to knit for the house elves. Well I was wondering if I could borrow some yarn …. To make something" He looked like he was choosing his words carefully. Hermione looked at him suspiciously.

"when I'm done I swear you'll get to see it first and it's going to be amazing" He pleaded. She thought about it a grin slowly stretching across her face. My mouth was hanging open…he wanted to knit…..for house elves. Maybe he wasn't a rebel after all.

"Sure! DO you want me to show you how to make certain stitches? OH and what color would you like? How much do you need?" She replied enthusiastically. He smiled at her

"You are really nice. No I think I am okay on the making it part…I want it to be a surprise. I am probably going to need maybe 6-8 balls of yarn. Preferably pink…" he trailed off biting his lip which seemed to make Hermione's breath stop. I looked over at Ron I was pretty sure I have a strange look in my eye but Ron seemed to be twitching with anger?

Hermione smiled at him as she waved her wand and conjured what looked a mountain of pink fuz.

"perfect Hermione, Thanks" He said scooping up the balls of yarn tousling the top of her head. He walked back to the twins and Lee who grinned at him they quickly disappeared out the common room door but not before Percy stuck his head around the corner and smiling.

"And oh Hermione….. make sure that you forget what happened tonight tomorrow….For your own good " with that he swept out the common room smirking.

Flashback over!

Weird, trust me I know. Well anyway I was on my way to DADA where the only defense we will be learning is how to defend your selves from book paper cuts. Our first class of the day hasn't even started yet, but Ron and Hermione are already bickering like an old married couple. We had just arrived outside the DADA classroom when we saw all of the other students standing outside and Percy leaning against the wall twirling a pen in his hand. He gave me a lopsided grin, pushed himself off the wall with one foot and walked over.

" I just wanted to thank Hermione and she'll see what I made with the yarn in a few short moments" Before I could process what that statement meant professor Umbridge came toddling down the halls.

"sorry I am late class, I hope you haven't been waiting long. If you could just enter the class room" With that all of the students came filing in one by one I heard several gasps from classmates. As I entered the room I am not going to lie I was pretty much in shock.

The Room was covered in pink yarn which all leaded to the chalk board and on the Chalk board written in sloppy hand writing was the words

"Voldemort is alive"

-PJ

When Umbridge entered the room her face turned a shade of purple that uncle Vernon would have been very proud of. Hermione was staring at Percy with looked like an amused yet angry expression on her face.

"WHO DID THIS" she spluttered. She walked up and down the line of students until she stopped at Percy who was staring at the chalk board. I've got to admit he had a wonderful poker face.

"Mr. Jackson" her voice was deathly calm but she was trembling with rage.

"Do you by any chance know how all of this got here" she tried again. Percy just smiled.

"Professor do you know any other student here with the initials PJ"

Que, the eye twitch.

"Mr. Jackson, if you would be so kind to escort yourself to my office. I would like to speak to you… alone" her voice was getting slightly more agitated now.

"yes…in a minuet I have something very important to share with the class. He walked over to the chalk board and pulled down what looked like a blank screen for a projector. Much like the one professor Snape showed us in our third year. He then closed the shades making it get darker in the room.

"Jackson! What do you think you're doing" As the words left her lips he took out a remote from his pocket and pushed a button in it making a film show up on the screen. It was also accompanied by strange music…. The screen showed a bunch of blue men?

(video to the side I suggest you watch it to get the hilarity of the situation)

When the video ended the curtains opened up and there was a roar of laughter throughout the classroom.

"PERSEUS JACKSON" Umbridge yelled her face looked like it was about to implode. She looked around the class room but our newest student was nowhere to be seen. Now most kids say that the first day back from a long break is terrible the worse than taking an exam. But today may have been the best DADA class with Umbridge I've ever had….. and all thanks to Percy Jackson.

Did I do okay? I know you guys wanted a chapter and I needed a filler chapter so I thought a little bit of comedy would be good….if you even thought it was funny. If you want a dedication the first one to say that they want one in the comments gets one! I am going to try and update all of my story's at least once a week. Sorry for the wait, give me your feedback in the comments I would love some feedback.
