Chapter 4:

The twins Get the Scare of a Lifetime

Both Percy and Harry were awake by now, and so was Dudley. The two siblings looked at each other strangely as if to ask, "is he really that stupid?"

The reason of course was because Dudley had asked where the cannon was when the person or creature pounded on the door again. Finally, with a deafening crash, the entire door came down and Percy had to clap her hands over her mouth to keep herself from screaming. The person who had come into the broken down home was nearly 8 feet tall and had hair on almost every inch of his body. Percy did not scare easily, but this particular person frightened her very much on first sight.

After a while, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon came into the main room where the commotion was happening. Uncle Vernon looked almost menacing in the darkness and because he had half of his mustache ripped out with his own hands. "I demand that you leave this instant!" He barked; "you are breaking and entering."

Percy and her brother couldn't help but almost burst out laughing at the other man's expression. He looked like he really didn't care, but what was really funny was what their uncle had said. "Yeah," Percy mumbled under her breath, "says the crazy man who drags us to a broken down house in the middle of the ocean. Gee, I wonder what Lord Poseidon would say about that?" For some strange reason, Percy had a fondness for Greek mythology, and her favorite Greek God just happened to be the Lord of the ocean himself. She didn't know why, but Percy always had a special connection with the ocean and she always loved to look at the sea creatures playing harmless games and generally having a great time. But unfortunately, she and her brother were stuck in this miserable shack with a very angry Dursley family in front of them.

Apparently the newcomer was angry himself because he had been shouting at the Dursley family for what seemed like an eternity. When Percy came back to reality, Harry was tapping her on the shoulder. "Gees, Perce," he gently teased, "what's with you today?"

His sister just shrugged her shoulders and when she got back into focus, Percy suddenly realized that the giant man was smiling at her and holding out an identical letter; one of the letters that made the family leave the house in the first place. It was difficult, but Percy finally managed to read what the letter said. "There is no way that I could be magical," she thought to herself. "I knew I was different, but magical? I wonder if that's why I manage to shrink extremely ugly sweater only two weeks ago? But at the same time, it doesn't explain why I can understand equines and other animals like that."

"Earth to Percy," Harry called; tapping his sister on the head gently. "Are you alive in there?"

Percy looked up at her brother and smiled to let him know that she was still there. Everything was extremely confusing to the both of them and Hagrid, Percy soon learned that that was the Giants name, calmly explained that they were both magical indeed and that he would be taking them to the magical shopping center known as Diagon Alley to buy their school was ...sceptical to say the least.

When the Twins found out that they were famous for something they couldn't even remember, Percy was angry. How could everyone think that losing one's parents was a cause for someone to be famous? Harry on the other hand, was confused, and it wasn't until the whole story came out that Aunt Petunia started screaming about how the two of them were freaks and that they got landed with them because their parents got blown up. Percy was shaking with anger and sadness, but she could do nothing to fix the situation. She understood all too well how her brother felt; confused, angry, and sad. He was also a little bit happy because he found out that he looked a lot like his father but he had their mother's green eyes. Also, for some unexplained reason, Percy somehow realized that the scent of the ocean was becoming stronger and she heard for the first time in her life, a voice that sounded very familiar, speaking to her in her mind.

Do not despair, little one," it said, "you will know who I am in good time. For now, get some sleep." And with that, Percy fell fast asleep and did not wake up again until morning.
