Sorry for the long wait. To be honest I did not know if I should continue this story, just leave it alone, or delete it. I am still not quite sure what I will end up doing with this story. I will make my final decision later on.

Chapter 4: The Great Sorting

Percy walked down to Hagrid with all of the rest of the first years, so they could head up to the castle. It was here that Percy reset with Harry.

"Harry!"

"What? And do not yell right in my ear."

"It wasn't in your ea..."

"Percy. Focus."

"Right. Anyways, did you meet a boy named Malfoy?"

Harry looked at Percy with great suspicion, "Yes. Why?" Harry asked stretching out the word trying to pry the information from Percy.

"Well it was me who sent him down towards you!" His chest was puffed out as if he thought he did something heroic.

What ever Harry was going to tell Percy was cut off by Hagrids yell of only three to a boat and Percy being whisked off by two girls Harry did not know.

For some reason Hagrid did not understand the boat Percy was on was somehow ahead of his own, which should be impossible since the boats were enchanted to follow his like ducklings following their mother.

Getting ashore one would hear Percy talking about getting back his landlegs in a pirate voice. Those people would then think to themselves, 'Oh. He is one of THOSE people'.

Percy did not care what they said about him. He was used to worse after all.

The first years were then taken to a room to wait until they were summoned for.

"Percy, what house do you think you will be in?"

"Oh obviously I will be in the great house of...

what are the houses again?"

Lily and Margot deadpanned at not only Percy's words but also his sheepish smile spread across his face.

"What?"

"You know exactly what. We both told you many times about the four Hogwarts houses on the train."

Before Percy had a chance to put in a snide remark, a bunch of kids screamed. Percy flashed around with reflexes he never even realized he had, ready for a fight with wand in hand.

He relaxed when he saw it was just ghosts. Whoops let me make this more clear because ghosts do seem to have a bad reputation, they were friendly ghosts. Like Casper!

The ghosts said some unimportant things (in Percy's opinion) and drifted off and through the wall into the next room. That was when McGonagol finally returned for them.

Percy being the idiot only he could be at the worst of times ran up and hugged the strict professor exclaiming, "You have come back for us! I knew you would! They all said you wouldn't but I knew that wasn't true."

The whole of the first years stared in shock, heck just a first glance at this woman gave them all the notice not to goof off around her. But then this kid Percy just runs up and hugs her?! He may just be insane.

Nope it is the ADHD.

"Percy let go of me before I give you 3 months worth of detention. I was made aware of your ADHD, an illness that wizards do not seem to posses, but that gives you no excuse to prance around with inappropriate behavior."

"I give no excuses, only reasons." Came Percy's solemn reply.

The professor just stared at him for a bit before calling out, "Come along." And led them through to the Great Hall.

Lily stared at the ceiling in wonder, "It is as if their is no ceiling at all."

"Why do they call this a hall, it's a room. British people have weird names for things... Wait is the British word for room hall? What if it isn't? What if wizards have trouble knowing the difference bet.."

"Percy, please do not ruin the moment for me."

"Sorry Lily."

The people saw and listened to the singing sorting hat before the name calling began.

To Percy it seemed like ages before his name was called, but eventually it was and so he ran up and yanked the hat out of Ol' Minny's hands and shoved it on his head, well more like over his head.

The hat spoke into his ear, "Hmm, very loyal I see."

"Hey hat guess what?"

"Percy."

"I believe..."

"Percy you do not have to speak out loud, I can read your thoughts."

'Ooooh. Got it.'

"Loyal yes. Bright, yes, but when faced with the smart choice and flat out stupid choice, you would pick the latter."

'HEY!'

"But it is that courage is what made me decide you shall be in GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted out that last part to the waiting crowd.

All of the other houses let out sighs of relief thinking, 'Thank God.' The Gryffindors clapped a bit unsure of their new housemate, but the sorting continued. Harry Ron and Hermione soon joined the Gryffindor house table too.

While Lily went to Ravenclaw with Margote. Draco went to Slytherin.

That was pretty much the sorting. Dumbledore made a few starting words and the food appeared, Percy ate. Blacked out. Was carried to the hospital wing. He laid in a cot in a food coma. Boy it really sucks to be a boy named Percy Jackson right now. Well if you want to be a wizard and had no other choice but Percy Jackson, I bet you would be glad just being able to go to Hogwarts. No matter who you had to be.

Percy will mature, so he will not always be so hyper and eccentric all the time. A lot of people wanted him in Gryffindor so that was where he was put. I hope you like this story so far. Thanks for reading and do not forget to review. Also tell me if you want to adopt this story. Because even if I continue it, my story will still be different from yours no matter the similar starting, because every author here has their own unique way of writing.
