He is in the middle of a raging battle with spells thrown here and there . It was truly a horrible sight to see . The place he had considered as a home , the place where he had met his best friends , the place which holds many unforgettable memories looked like it had been hit by an earthquake . Debris and rubble surrounded the place as an aftermath of many of fights . Bodies littered everywhere . He could see the fire emanating brightly from the Quidditch pitch . He saw Professor Mcconagall skillfully and gracefully defending herself against death eaters and stupifying them . He saw Dumbledore defeating five death eaters within a moment of time without a problem proving why he is one of the most powerful wizard to ever live . But he could see the old headmaster is slowly getting tired , his age is clearly taking a toll on him . He even saw Snape defeating some death eaters and helping a few other students who were struggling against their foes surprising Harry . He always had a doubt on the potions master despite what Dumbledore said but now seeing him helping them clarified it . He even saw some others who he had never seen in his life fighting against the death eaters .
It looked like they were gaining a upper hand , the death eaters numbers were starting to reduce making the remaining to push back when suddenly earth beneath him started to shake making everyone to stumble . He looked around and saw more than twenty giants which were all nearly twenty foot height running towards them by swinging their club making his blood cold in fear while the death eaters started to cheer .
He had never encountered giants in his life before but he had heard it will take nearly more than ten wizards to even stun them . He doesn't know whether they can do that or not . Only a miracle can save them .
As if answering his prayers a trident flew out of nowhere embedding itself between the giant's eyes making the giant to fall . The other giants following it were forced to abruptly stop and take a few steps back in order to not trigger a domino effect but despite their best effects a few giants fell back making the earth shake and causing dust to scatter around them making it impossible to see .
Once his view cleared he saw only a trident in the place where the giant fell dead surrounded by golden dust . All the other giants looked around them and started to yell something gibberish in some language probably demanding who attacked their fellow giant when the trident rose from the ground making the giants to take a few steps back in fear thinking that weapon is going to impale them only to fly back into waiting hands of its rightful owner .
He turned around quickly which would have caused him a whiplash if it was not a dream and saw Percy standing with the bronze weapon in his hand . He had a big smile on his face to see his friend standing there with a look of determination and anger along with slight tiredness .
He yelled something at the giants but he cannot hear it . He didn't know what Percy said but he know it must be something bad as the giants looked agitated eyeing warily the son of Poseidon and his weapon which cost their brother . Suddenly a few giants pushed the other giants and rushed forward pointing their club and growling some what looked like threats .
Percy shook his head tiredly before taking his pen from his pocket and uncapping it turning it into the familiar celestial bronze sword . The trident in his other hand started to shrink until it changed into a golden sword similar to Riptide . He spun both the swords expertly testing its balance before pointing Riptide to the giant and yelled something with a taunting smile on his face infuriating the giants .
A giant rushed forward while Percy sped towards it at the same time at an inhuman speed with the two blades at his side making him look like a blur of bronze and gold . Suddenly it looked like time itself started to slow down . He saw the giant swinging the club at Percy only for him to duck at the last second . The giant maybe big and have more physical strength but Percy is fast and agile giving him a edge compared to the giant . He then ran forward and slid between its legs and slashed at its Achilles tendon making the giant to drop to one knee . Percy used this a leverage and ran on his injured leg and jumped inhumanly possible at the giants skull impaling it with both the swords and jumping down landing on his feet . As soon as his feet touched the ground the giant dissolved into golden dust .
He looked around and saw everyone was looking at Percy with fascination . He guessed all they saw was a blur of gold and bronze attacking a fully grown giant taking down it within a matter of seconds .
But the fascination was brought down by a giant hand swatting Percy like a fly making him crash against a wall causing many to shout in fear for Percy's life . If it was anyone else the crash would have made them out of commission but it is Percy . He rose from the rubbles clutching his rib and wiping the blood trailing from the corner of his mouth .
Harry checked Percy up and down for any wounds and was surprised to see blood seeping from a gash on his forehead . Last time he saw Percy was completely invincible nothing will make him bleed , hell he said he even took a blow from the Titan's Lord scythe which is capable of severing his soul from his body only to come out unharmed but now here he is bleeding like a regular mortal .
But other than he looked relatively unharmed , he cursed something and raised the golden sword up in the air . As soon as he did that storm clouds begun to form on the clear night sky crackling with thunder and lightning fascinating him . He had never seen Percy do tricks like this . There is no wonder he is the most powerful demigod to walk on Earth . Two large bolts of lightning struck the the other two giants who challenged him blasting them into pieces .
He looked at the giants with a challenging look in his face daring them to attack him . All the remaining giants looked at him with fear and a few giants looked at the storm cloud which was still pulsating with lightning and thunder making them cover in fear .
All the giants backed away in sync before running away fearing for their lives making everyone except the death eaters to cheer in the small victory . Once he lowered the sword the clouds begun to dissipate revealing the clear sky .
He turned around and gave everyone a tired smile but a genuine smile nevertheless . Percy's smile widened when he saw Hermione running towards him . He saw himself and Ron standing near Dumbledore with a large smile on their faces as if they had accomplished something .
Percy's smile turned into horror when he saw a person with a white cloak covering their face with a long sword appeared behind Hermione . He yelled at her but it was too late when Hermione turned around the person stabbed her in her heart before disappearing .
Harry couldn't do anything but watch in horror where his best friend had fallen clutching the place where she had been stabbed . Percy was near her in an instant and used his water technique to heal her but it looked like it didn't work . He cradled her head in his lap and his shirt was coated with her blood and a green liquid . She gave him a sad smile and said something before life faded from her eyes . Percy cried in despair and anguish clutching her lifeless body burying his head in her hair sobbing like he could not believe she is dead . The crowd looked stunned on seeing what happened . His other self and Ron took a step forward only to stumble back by the earthquake .
He looked at Percy in horror and fear as his body begun to glow a bright sea green before he looked up snapping his eyes open . He looked at his eyes which is now glowing dark unlike his bright sea green eyes which shows nothing but kindness and mischievousness but now it showed nothing but anger and fury . He gently laid Hermione's lifeless body on the ground before standing up and looking around making everyone there to back away with fear on seeing the dark eyes which promised destruction and revenge . His eyes landed on the death eaters and he started walking towards them who were backing away with fear . He raised his hand and clenched his fist . Every death eater there stood frozen in their tracks looking at the son of Poseidon with pleading wide eyes . Slowly every death eaters started to scream and blood started to flow from nose and ears . Harry couldn't look away from the horror scene in front of him.
The demigod who he had come to see as an older brother , who was always kind and gentle except a few times is now controlling the blood of his enemies without mercy . Slowly the scream started to increase and finally the bodies of all the death eaters burst apart making the blood to scatter everywhere . A few drops of blood splattered across Harry's face .
Harry woke up with a huge gasp making Neville to drop Trevor .
Neville looked at Harry with wide eyes for a few seconds before asking tentatively " Are ..you okay Harry ? "
Harry not trusting his mouth to speak just nodded and looked around for Ron but he is not there .
Neville understanding who he is searching for informed " Ron is with Percy and Hermione in the common room waiting for you " .
Harry nodded in thanks and stumbled into bathroom before closing the door and leaning against it . He exhaled and inhaled deeply a few times trying to clear his mind before hesitantly touching his face as if afraid to find any blood but thankfully there is no blood . His face is covered with sweat like the rest of his body .
He ran a hand through his hair , a habit he developed from Percy before thinking about the dream . The dream looked vivid and real but he has trouble in believing Percy will do something horrible like that . How can someone be gentle and destructive at the same time ?
But the most important thing running in his mind is who was the person that killed Hermione? The person didn't apparate like any normal wizards . He/she just appeared and disappeared like how Percy usually do when he vapour travels and aura of the person is more or less powerful like Percy . Why did the person wanted to kill Hermione of anyone ? If the person is just another death eater of Voldemort they would have gone after him but they didn't .
He shook his head trying to clear the images out of his mind and started to get ready for the classes .
Once after getting ready he walked down to the common room and noticed Ron , Hermione and Percy huddled together whispering among themselves . Except them no one was there probably they would have gone to the Great Hall for breakfast .
Percy was the first one to notice Harry and looked up from where they were sitting and gave him a casual wave with his bright sea green eyes . Harry stopped dead in his tracks noticing the green eyes which is now filled with kindness and gentleness unlike the dark green eyes he saw in the dream . Again and again the same question ' How can someone be gentle and destructive at the same time ? ' is running in his mind .
His thoughts were interrupted by a poking sensation in between his eyes and saw Percy standing before him poking with his index finger . Harry swatted away the hand that came again to poke him making Percy to grin like a child " Here he lives " gaining eye rolls simultaneously from the other two .
" Haha funny " Harry said dryly but had a small smile on his face thinking this is the Percy he knew .
Percy took his place near Hermione and asked " You okay man . You looked like you saw a ghost " .
Harry lied " Nothing . Just a headache " .
" Really " Percy drawing out the word raising an eyebrow as if not believing him .
" Really " Harry confirmed before asking " What were you three speaking about ? " hoping to distract the attention from him .
Thankfully Ron took the bait and started " Hermione told me about her plans for learning DADA ourselves " .
" Huh " Harry said unintelligibly .
To be honest Harry had thought about giving the responsibility to Percy as Percy explained about it and how he didn't want Harry to do something if he didn't like it . But the dream made him to reconsider it . If a war was like anything he had seen in the dream he had to be at his full power with enough confidence to face down the dark lord and if Percy said it will help him to gain confidence and increase his skills then it is worth a shot .
Harry looked at the three before him who were all watching him expectantly . He looked at Percy in his eyes and nodded causing a big smile to break out in his face .
Upon seeing that Harry was almost sure the dream was not real . Hermione hugged him tightly with enthusiasm causing Harry to chuckle fondly at his best friend . It is good to see his best friend like that especially after seeing her soulless eyes .
Just thinking about the dream made Harry's smile to drop . He didn't know whether he should say others or not especially Percy as he said he always tends to have prophetic dreams . He is a demigod and it explains that but Harry is neither a demigod nor he has any godly connection . Harry shook his head thinking it was just a nightmare .
He was brought out of his thoughts by a loud growling noise making everyone to look at Ron who blushed a darker shade of red in embarrassment .
" I am hungry " Ron weakly defended himself making Hermione to say with a chuckle " You are always hungry Ron " .
Harry laughed along with his friends and started to make way to the great hall for breakfast momentarily forgetting about the nightmare .
