A/N yooooooooo ppl.
How's life for y'all. It's good here, ofc.
Sooo, I'll just get on with it.
Enjoy. . .
Harry POV
It was Friday, finally. I couldn't help it but be exited for quidditch. The feeling I got when I was on the broom made up for the previous week.
I along with Ron and the four Americans were walking down to the quidditch pitch. Ron had told me he was going to try out for keeper, I was more than glad to know he might be on the team. But mostly, I was looking forward to how the Americans would do.
From what I understood, Nico and Percy weren't aloud to fly, because of their dads. Mind you, I still found it freaking creepy that these guys were demigods, gods for crying out loud.
Since the dream I had shared with Percy I spoke less, I was mostly trying to figure out if he'd betray us and fight for the other side. So far, I looked like he hadn't even told his friends. But what I really wondered, was why Voldemort would even care, who was this Percy Jackson. In the dream I had understood he had fought two wars, now wait, all of them had, but did they really. I respected that Percy had stood up to Voldemort, but who's side was he really on?
I was walking quietly next to Ron as the Americans chattered behind us.
"Are you sure you're dad's okay with it? I don't want him to zap me." Asked a concerned Percy.
Nico coughed. "I don't want him to zap me either."
Thalia sighed. "Yes I swear it on the river Styx. He swore it on the river Styx."
"Thalia are you sure?" Annabeth asked.
"Yes guys, please trust me."
Percy laughed. "Trust you? On this? Not in a thousand years."
They waved it off by laughing.
~.~.~.~
Angelina told everyone to start flying a few laps. I immediately took off. Ron was right behind me, the Americans weren't.
Annabeth and Thalia got on their broom without hesitation. On the other hand, Percy and Nico seemed very reluctant. After a few encouraging words form both Thalia and Annabeth, the tow males were up in the air as well. They both looked sick and ready to this up at any moment.
Annabeth started taking up speed and soon she was right behind us.
"Hello there." She told us.
"Hi." I said back. "Looks like you're good."
She smiled. "Looks like it." And she proceeded into accelerating even more until she surpassed us and dubbed her friends.
Thalia was flying lower than the rest. I remembered some one saying she was afraid of heights. Oh well. Percy and Nico were holding on to the the broom stick really tight, when from where I was standing I could see how white their knuckles where. Percy was gritting his teeth, Thalia was laughing from below them.
She would wave her hand and Percy would be taken by a current of wind and swept to the side. You'd hear him cry out but she wold just laugh it off. Same happened to Nico.
~.~.~.~
Both Percy and Nico dropped out before the actual tryouts started. Thalia was furious with them but remained for a bit longer. When the game started to go really high up, she too dropped out. The only one remaining was Annabeth and I must admit, she was good. Good enough that she made the team as a new chaser. The irony, Chase, chaser, get it? Ugh whatever.
~.~.~.~
"I am so gonna kill you Thals." Percy said as we entered the common room after the tryouts were over.
Thalia snickered. "Good luck with that Kelp Head."
"I'm helping him." Nico added.
"Then that's not fair anymore." She said. "Two against one."
"Afraid to loose?" Asked Annabeth.
Percy chuckled and Thalia stuck her tongue out at him. "No! And shut up Squirtle."
Days ago, I'd wonder why the nicknames, now they made sense, and I couldn't help but laugh at their sense of humour, even though they were talking about death.
Percy slumped down on a couch. "Glad that's over." He said refereeing to quidditch.
"Yes, I agree." Nico agreed as he dropped on one as well.
"Oh come on guys," Annabeth said. "It wasn't that bad. I actually found it pretty fun."
"You're not the one that has been threatened not be in the sky." Percy said.
Annabeth nodded once. "True." She said as she too sat down.
"So Harry." Percy called out to me. "Defence lessons, any ideas when and where?" He asked.
In truth, I had forgotten about them entirely. But hearing this from Percy made me relax in his decision if he wanted to join Voldemort or not.
"Well, first we'd need to find out where." I said. "And then the where."
"Any ideas?" Annabeth asked with a raised eyebrow.
I shook my head. "No, but I'll search for something this weekend."
"Good."
~.~.~.~
Percy POV
I hate it, how one day I had a break from my usual nightmares, the next, they came back. As I laid in bed that night, I was wondering what my mind would drift off to. Would I meet Voldemort again, possibly need to make a decision between joining him or not. Or would I have my usual nightmares regarding Tartarus and possibly Annabeth dying.
She was lying next to me like the nights before, the other boys had gotten used to it.
I kissed her head as confusion rolled in my head.
"Percy what's wrong?" She asked.
"I don't know." I said.
"You know you can tell me anything." She assured me.
"I know." I said. "But it's okay, sleep."
She raised her head and kissed my cheek. I smiled softly. In a matter of minutes she was snoring lightly.
How could I tell her?
~.~.~.~
I don't know when I fell asleep, all I know is that I found myself near the same lake as two nights ago. Surrounded by the same trees. The same robed man standing in first of me. Those red eyes were sort of intimidating at first, but after seeing a former friend be possessed and have golden eyes, this was nothing.
"What do you want?" I asked.
Tom smiled maniacally. "Only to add to what I said the other night."
Great, I thought, more to be on my mind.
~.~.~.~
Harry POV
It was happening all over again. I was in the same place as I was the other night, when I shared a dream with Percy. As I looked around, there he was, in front if Voldemort.
Percy's hand was in his pocket, and he showed nothing but loathing to the man in front of him. Again, I admired his courage.
"What do you want?" Percy asked annoyed.
Voldemort smiled maniacally. "Only to add to what I said the other night."
Percy rolled his eyes and I sort of felt bad for him. Sort of.
"Like what?" He asked.
"It's simple Perseus." Percy flinched at the name. "I've got forces in side the castle. Do you know how easy it'd be for me to take away your friends?"
Percy's eyes widened. "Don't you dare touch them." He threaten taking out a pen from his pocket. A pen? Then I remembered it was the same one that transformed into a sword.
Voldemort wasn't fazed by the 'pen'. He only chuckled and said. "You can avoid that. Join me."
Percy kicked the ground and walked away. "Why me?" He demanded with a raised tone. "Why do you guys, always come after me?" He said as he pointed a finger to his chest. "I'd like to know why must it always depend on me?" Did it really?
Voldemort grinned. "Ah but Perseus, you are the strongest amongst them. I don't see why I'd be going for someone else."
Percy didn't see, to like what he was hearing and he kept his mouth shut. Tom continued. "So you see, we strike for the wild card, in this case, that'd be you." He chuckled lightly. "If you come over to my side, you're friends will be spared, the castle will be spared until a proper war braked out, but then, the Greek monsters won't have a do in it. You'd be sparing a lot of guys. But in return, you'd be my loyal servant, you'd need to do everything I say."
Percy looked uneasy. "Would you leave my family out of this?" He asked.
What? Was he actually going to accept.
Voldemort grinned triumphantly. "Yes, the Greek world would leave my mind, no more of it, just you."
I wanted to shout at Percy for even thinking about turning to the other side. Percy didn't answer. "Let's do it this way. You join me, I leave your family and world out of this but you help me in killing Harry Potter. You don't, then I'll carry out my threat and kill those friends of yours at Hogwarts and use the monster forces under my control to crush the students."
Percy looked furious and who knows what was going on his head at the moment. "I need to think about it. . ."
Voldemort turned to me and grinned like the other night.
~.~.~.~
I woke up, exactly like the other night. Percy jumped in his bed as well. As soon as I looked at him, I felt bile rise in my throat as I started loathing him.
We were so having a chat in the morning. . .
