Harry POV

It had taken them quite a while to walk to Percy's school, because they hadn't wanted to wait for another bus. When they finally arrived, the entrance lady had not wanted to let them in, and Lupin had to use a confundus charm. And now, as soon as Percy had heard them speak, he had taken off. So much for Hogwarts robes being trustworthy.

But something bothered Harry. When Percy ran off he didn't look scared. Percy had looked angry and determined. What if Percy was leading them into a trap? What if Percy was a Death Eater?

Tonks watched Percy's retreating back and sighed. "Do we chase after him?"

Mad-eye frowned. "Yes, but proceed with caution. This could be a trap."

For once even Sirius looked like he agreed with Mad-eye. The group began to chase after Percy with a lot of apologies to the students they were pushing aside.

"Sorry!"

"Excuse me!"

"Coming through!"

"Move over now!"

Percy had reached the doors at the end of the hall and burst through them, looking quickly to the left and right before tearing across the street. Harry hurried out after him, pausing only briefly before sprinting across two lanes of traffic. Annoyed drivers honked their horns at him, but he barely noticed. Tonks, Sirius, Lupin, and Mad-eye were close behind him, huffing and puffing with the effort of keeping up with Harry and Percy. Percy paused for a moment before jogging down an alleyway on the right. Harry ran up to the alley and stopped. This had 'trap' written loud and clear all over it.

Nonetheless, they needed Percy. Harry charged ahead, the others on his heels. Percy had stopped at the end of the alley and cursed in some other language when he saw Harry.

Percy pulled a ballpoint pen from his pocket and said, "What do you want?"

Percy made the pen look menacing. He held it in front of him like a dangerous weapon, his sea green eyes narrowed with suspicion.

Tonks took a step forward. "We want you to come with us, so we can talk."

Percy rolled his eyes and said, "Fat chance at that. What are you?"

Percy sounded like he was mildly curious, but he was tense and watching their every move.

Mad-eye had had enough. "Are you a Death Eater boy? 'Cause I don't like Death Eaters."

Percy looked directly at him and said, "What's a Death Eater?"

Percy sounded utterly sincere. Harry looked at the others. There was no way news of Lord Voldemort and his followers had not reached New York. Who was this guy? Did he not know about magic at all?

Lupin said, "Do you know of the Dark Lord?"

Percy snorted. "Yeah. Met him quite a few times when- "

That was enough for Mad-eye. He sent a sunning spell directly at Percy. Harry was sure that Percy was hit, but Percy had fast reflexes. Percy dodged and ran directly at Mad-eye, a glowing double edged bronze sword in his hands. Tonks sent a body bind curse at Percy, but she was so shocked she missed. Percy disarmed Mad-eye with one stroke of his bronze sword, and yelled: "What do you want?"

Mad-eye yelled, "Your mother was magical! Don't you know who we are?"

Percy froze. "What?"

Sirius yelled, "STUPIFY!"

His spell hit Percy full in the face.

Percy collapsed in a heap, dropping the ballpoint pen he was holding earlier. His sword had disappeared.

Harry looked at the others. "Now what?"

Mad-eye looked down at Percy. "We drag him to Times Square, tie him up, and wait for the Portkey."

Tonks frowned. "Won't the New Yorkers notice him all tied up?"

Mad-eye nodded. "Excellent point. New plan: we drag him to an alley near Times Square, tie him up, and wait for the Portkey."

Lupin opened his mouth to argue, then shrugged.

Mad-eye pointed his wand at Percy and told Harry to cover him with his invisibility cloak.

It didn't take them very long to make their way to Times Square. It was only a mile away, and they made good time, hurrying through alleyways with Percy bobbing in the air behind them.

When they finally arrived Mad-eye searched for an alley to put Percy in while the others talked.

"There is definitely something not right about him." Tonks said as she stared at the spot where Percy was concealed by the invisibility cloak.

"Yeah." Harry agreed. "Do you think he really is a Death Eater? He said he met the Dark Lord."

Sirius frowned. "I get the feeling that he really didn't know who we are or who the Death Eaters are at all."

Lupin stared sadly down at Percy. "I wonder if he remembers what happened to him."

Everyone was silent at that.

Mad-eye came back to tell them he had found a suitable alley and the group of five slowly walked toward it.

When they arrived in the alley, Mad-eye unceremoniously lifted the spell on Percy, causing his unconscious form to fall several feet.

"Mad-eye!" Tonks was glaring at Mad-eye. "He didn't do anything!"

"He nearly killed me with that weird sword of his!" Mad-eye said indignantly.

"Speaking of which, where did that sword go?" Harry asked Lupin.

"I don't know." Lupin said, clearly mystified by Percy. "But something is definitely not right here. Tie him up and then we'll question him."

Mad-eye pointed his wand at Percy and muttered a spell, and instantly ropes wound around Percy's ankles and wrists.

"Time to wake him up?" Sirius was staring at Percy with intense curiosity.

Tonks pointed her wand at Percy and said, "Enervate."

For a moment nothing happened, but then Percy groaned.

"Annabeth is so going to kill me." Percy said as he opened his eyes.

As soon as Percy saw them he sat up and tried to back away, but there was nowhere to go.

A fierce determination entered Percy's eyes and he said, "What are you and what do you want?"

Lupin looked down at Percy. "We're sorry, we just wanted to talk, and that was hard to do while you tried to take Mad-eye's head off."

Percy snorted. "I may not be an A+ student, but I'm not stupid. He attacked first."

Mad-eye narrowed his eyes at Percy. "You said you where in league with Lord Voldemort."

Tonks and Lupin flinched.

Percy snickered at Mad-eye. "Voldemort? Who is that? His name sounds like a type of rare mold. Besides, I never said anything about a Lord Moldyshorts."

The five of us stared at him open mouthed.

"How can you not know who he is? Voldemort is the darkest wizard of all time!" Harry spluttered.

Percy's eyes widened. "Y-you're wizards?"

Sirius nodded absent-mindedly, obviously still baffled by the moldy-shorts comment and said, "But you know that already, of course, being one yourself."

Percy just stared at us.

"Umm… Sirius? I don't think he knows." Harry looked worriedly at Percy as he said this, because Percy was shaking his head and had an expression of absolute shock on his face. However, Percy recovered quickly and burst out laughing.

"You're kidding right?" Percy's face fell as he caught sight of our expressions. "Please tell me you're kidding."

"No. Didn't you're mother tell you about the Wizarding world? She was part of the Order." Lupin said in a curious tone.

"No." said Percy flatly. "I can't possibly be a wizard. You've got the wrong guy."

Sirius snorted. "That is exactly what Harry said when Hagrid found him."

"You've got to be kidding me! My mother would never hide something this big from me! You have to be lying!" Percy exclaimed, but even Harry could tell that he didn't believe it. Lupin had sounded so absolutely sure.

Sirius sighed. "Let's find your mother. We'll let her explain all of this."

Percy narrowed his eyes at Sirius. "How do I know this is not a trick to find my mother?"

Tonks rolled her eyes. "Percy, we know where you live. If we wanted to find your mother we would have just trailed her when she left your apartment."

This did not seem to make Percy feel better at all. "You've been stalking my mother?"

It was Lupin's turn to roll his eyes. "Let's just go find her. Mad-eye, undo his bonds."

Percy stood up. "There will be no need." He said coldly. The bonds lay in tatters at his feet. How he untied himself without them noticing was a mystery to Harry.

"How…" Mad-eye looked shocked that Percy had freed himself without any of their help.

Percy dusted himself off and walked out of the alley. All five wizards were still staring dumbstruck at the place where Percy had been sitting.

"Coming?" Percy asked, glancing back over his shoulder at them.

Sirius turned. "Why are you trusting us?" He asked.

Percy frowned. "I can tell when people lie. And you aren't lying. Although, I wish you were. And, I saw those… Spells you fired at me. I believe that you're wizards."

A/N Yay! I finally finished the fourth chapter! That took a long time. But now I'm done!
