Wassup! So I've been asked a few times, why didn't Hecate give Percy any former knowledge about the wizarding world? Well… think about it from her perspective.

Hmm voldy won. Why? Harry ded… why? No Percy...hmmm. *picks up Percy* *puts next to Harry* *wipes hands off* better.

Yeah.

Just wanted to let you guys know.

Percy's POV

"Maybe being like… almost killed by one… makes you able to talk to one?" Yeah right.

"Like maybe there's some venom I'm their claws that…"

"Percy, there have been no mentions of venom in any of the books we've read"

"How many have you read?"

"Every book in the library, except for that one.'"

"Oh… I can still read this one to find out…"

A wild Draco appears and I sit up and wave hi to him.

Harry turns around, and storms over to him.

"What are you doing here Malfoy, checking that you didn't bruise yourself when Percy saved your life?" Oh… the venom in his voice, reminds me of how I talked to Dudley, I'm actually proud of the way he just sassed him… other than the fact that Draco is my friend.

"Hey" I heaven myself out of the bed, and walk over to put a hand on each of their chests. "No fighting when there's a hurt Percy in the room."

They both hurry me back into the bed.

"Percy you shouldn't be standing up. You could hurt yourself even worse" Hermione reminds me.

I pull up my shirt a little to show them the nearly healed cuts down my side, then I realise, too late how many scars I have there.

"B-but… nothing heals cuts that deep so fast… and… what happened to you?" Harry looks genuinely concerned.

"Don't like to talk about it"

What? Seems like a good answer to me.

I pull the shirt back down.

"Seems like you get attacked by angry Hippogriffs a lot.* Ron jokes.

"Something like that…" I say, trying not to give anything away.

Hermione orders me back into my bed, and Draco comes to sit on one of the beds next to mine… granted not the one Harry and co. Are on.

"So Percy, how are you? Do you need anything?"

"Nope! Harry's gonna get my potions homework for me."

"You're going to let him that the common room?!" Draco says incredulously.

"No. From Snape"

Draco breathes a sigh of relief. "Then looks skeptical." You aren't going to tell him the password are you?"

"Nope! I don't know the password… is it password? That's a cool password in America… but you're… we're all fancy and british." Would probably be something fancy like… qwertyuiop… probably that.

I try to say the password that I just came up with… "qwertyuiop"

Everyone gives me strange looks.

"Qwerteyuiop qwerteyuiop qwerteyuiop qwerteyuiop"

"What?" Harry and Draco both demand.

"Qwertyuiop. It seems like an easy enough thing to type into a keypad."

Ron and Draco both ask "keepad?" Then give each other looks of complete and utter loathing and disgust.

I go on undeterred, hoping that my explanation will calm them down a little.

"It's an um… thing that you type passwords into. Mor-ah-i meant muggles use them all the time."

Hermione nodds, confirming that I'm right. And then Ron snatches the book out of my hands, and gives it to Draco. What the heck man? "here, can you read this to Percy? We've been talking turns reading it."

He takes one look at it and asks "do you think this is funny? My father will hear about this!" shoot now he's mad. Why Ron why?

"Whaddya mean? You can't read it?" My traitorous brother intervenes. Draco storms out of other room, and I try… emphasis on TRY to get out of the bed, but Harry, Hermione and Ron hold me down.

"What the heck guys?!" I yell "can you at least try not to be rude to my friends?! Draco is one of my only friends in my dorm. Actually no. The only friend I have in my dorm! And you can't read it either. Why would you hold me down!?"

They all look a little ashamed, but not too ashamed… like they thought it was worth it. I hear Hermione mumbled something about that madame Pomfrey didn't want me out of my bed.

I give them one of my best death glares and flip over onto my pillow angrily. I would have stormed out of the room, if they weren't blocking the door.

I hear them get up and leave the room. After a moment, when I'm sure they are out of hearing range I yell, as loud as I can and fling the pillow across the room.

It hits a nearby wall with a satisfying thump.

I pick up the book, and debate about throwing it. Out of habit I grab the pendant.

I immediately feel better, and I can hear Annabeth whispering in my ear, and her soft voice calms me.

Seaweed brain. I smile, then let go of the pendant. I lay back into the bed to read the book.

When I finish the first chapter I put the book down. Samuel, seems like a pretty interesting guy… but he talks about things in the godly world. I absolutely cannot let Harry read this.

I lay back to fall asleep.

Harry's POV

I feel kinda bad. Percy does genuinely seem to like Malfoy.

I guess that I'm not very good at having a family. I mean the only family I've had for the past two years wanted nothing more than for me to die. And it was just the perfect opportunity and… even thinking these things makes me a bad brother.

I moan as I lie in bed. I've gotten no sleep, thinking about Percy… and you know generally re thinking my life choices.

I worry about Percy. He seems to have changed so much, while only being gone for a little less than two years seems to have been gone for about 10. He acts so mature and grown up.

I don't know what happened to him in America, but I'm going to find out. I'll bring Ron and Hermione tomorrow.

I heave myself out of the bed, slightly shivering as my feet hit the cold stone floor. I pull a t-shirt over my head and pull on some non-pajama pants. I reach into my trunk and whip the invisibility cloak over my head.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" I whisper into the marauders map as I walk out of the dorm.

I'm worried about Percy. He collapsed on the train, just like me… and we were raised in the same house. But I didn't think of memories of 'home' I was thinking about… well fighting Voldemort.

And he was out longer than me.

I'm worried about what happened to him in America. So I'm going to ask him what happened there. Right now.

I open the large doors to the hospital wing, and step inside.

"Percy?"

He flips out if bed… with a sword in his hand…?

"Huh? What? Who are you?! Show yourself! Are you… Sirius Black? Come out!" He never loosens his stance. And that sword looks sharp. Where did he get it,and how did he bring it in here?

I pull off the cloak.

He stands there for a second, then, as suddenly as it appeared the sword disappears, but I see him slipping something in his pocket. Have to check that later.

"I did not just have a sword in my hand?" He says questioningly.

I'm getting really worried, but I play along with him, "no of course you didn't" I say and sit down on his bed. "I just came to ask how you are feeling"

"Oh… I'm feeling okay I guess. I'm hoping I can get back into my classes soon, ya know" I nod my head in response. Then he asks a question that surprises me, but at the same time I knew he would eventually ask. "What's that in your hand?"

"It's an invisibility cloak. It used to belong to our father, before he died."

"Oh… so it can make you invisible? How does it work?"

"You just cover yourself with it and then you're invisible."

"Can I try it?"

"Sure. If you're feeling well enough I could give you a tour of the castle."

I didn't think that through.

"Sure!" he just looks sooo excited…

"Are you positive that you feel well enough?"

"I've been through worse, I'll be fine"

That side comment worries me but I choose to ignore it for now. For now.

"Okay. If you're sure."

I whip the invisibility cloak over our heads. We push our way out of the heavy doors, and start to wander around the castle.

"Percy? You know how professor McGonagall said that you are allowed in the Gryffindor common room? Do you want me to show you where that is?"

"Uh… sure, but we probably shouldn't go in. Right?"

He then adds "I kinda want to explore the rest of the foregrounds. Those woods look cool!"

"That forest is forbidden. You're not supposed to go in."

"Aww… can we still take a look?"

"Fine"

We start towards the main doors, the Gryffindor tower forgotten.

Hey guys! Wazzup? *Dodges table* okay I know that this took a while to write. BUT I had a lot of homework. Okay? Please don't be mad. I promise that I will do everything on my power to get the next chapter to you quicker.

Leofangirl out!
