Hey, guys I know I said I'd try to get one up on Sunday but I was working on my science project all day cuz my parents were getting mad. So I'm starting this at like 10 so hopefully, I can finish it soon. Also, I realized that I out the part where Dumbledore talks to Harry about private lessons w/ Percy but I forgot to put the part where he talks to Percy about it so whoops.
Percy's Pov.
After talking to Harry last night I was in a good mood. All the students were so mean to me and I finally knew why. For tomorrow's class, I'm going to be doing battle strategy so i have an excuse to talk to Annabeth for a long time because I need her to plan the class with
"O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering show me, Annabeth Chase," I said.
Her image appeared she was as beautiful as ever. She was sitting by the beach staring into the lake.
"Hey, wise girl what's up." I said.
"Nothing much I'm just looking at the water it reminds me of you since your at that stupid wizard school." she said, "well anyway what's up with you."
"Not much um today I had to go get Harry for the Headmaster and Harry was in this class called Divination. It's the class that they talk about prophecies and stuff. Well anyway, I was going to go get him and the Professor touched my shoulder and recited all the prophecies that I was in and she said a new one." I said "oh yeah and also I need you to help plan my class tomorrow we're talking about battle strategy.
"Okay I'll help you but what was the prophecy that she said?" Annabeth asked.
"It went like this
The fates will intertwine, the sea the sky
Death shall reap across the land
No man shall speak again
A choice will end it all
To save the world or the one he loves most
Time to fall fall fall." I said.
"Well that does not sound good at all I'll tell Chiron about it later so now let's plan out your class," she said.
We spent about 3 hours of planning and just talking about life. It was great I don't know the last time that we had talked like this. It cost so much drachma but she is worth it. As we talked I noticed that it was already 12 o'clock. So I said goodbye and went to sleep.
Ron's POV
Today was going to be great it was Quidditch tryouts. At breakfast this morning I ate the most I could so I would be ready for tryouts. But at breakfast, I realized that Harry wasn't looking like he normally did.
"Harry what's wrong we have Quidditch tryouts today?" I asked.
"I can't try out." He said
"Why can't you?" I asked
"I have to do these stupid private lessons with Professor Jackson. Dumbledore insists that I do them so there no way I can get around it," he said.
"But like why you're harry freakin potter ur like invincible. Why do you have to learn from stupid professor Jackson who only teaches us fighting not magic" I said.
"I have no clue but I just wish that I could still do Quidditch." he said.
"Now, now harry come one it can't be that bad maybe you'll learn something from him. If Dumbledore insists that you do this then it's probably to protect you." Hermione said.
"But what could he do to protect me. I'm not even sure if he can do magic." Harry said.
"I don't know Harry but look on the bright side you'll be spending a lot of alone time with him some maybe we'll be able to learn a lot about him through you."
"Oh yeah that reminds me, I didn't tell you yesterday because I was still so mad at Dumbledore but when I was walking to his office I was talking to Professor Jackson a lot," he said.
"What did you guys talk about," I asked anxiously.
"Did you learn anything about him?" Hermione asked.
"Well remember the prophecies that we heard yesterday in class those were
about him. Also, he had been expelled from every school he has ever gone to after a year," he said.
The look on Hermione's face was hilarious. She couldn't believe it that he had been kicked out of every school he had ever been to. Harry and I started to laugh she was so shocked to learn this info.
"Haha, Professor Jackson told me to tell him about your reaction. He said it was going to be priceless and boy was he right." Harry said.
We spent the rest of breakfast talking about Professor Jackson and Harry bitching about not being able to do Quidditch. After breakfast, we went to our classes. Potions were hell as normal. Snape hates to harry so much and I have no clue why. Well anyway after that we had DADA. today in DADA we talked about battle strategy. Which was way more boring than learning how to punch that was fun. It was also something I was good at unlike today were Hermione had a lot of fun. But it was kind of interesting to learn about battle strategy from somebody who had been in actual wars. There was something different about him today. He seemed a lot more relaxed than he had all the other days. He also kept mumbling something under his breath it sounded kind of like "wise girl" its the same thing that he had said when we had followed him to the lake. I wonder who this wise girl could be? Is it his girlfriend? I have no clue. Well anyway, class seemed to take forever. But when it was over we went to our other classes it was pretty boring. Draco was an asshole like always. Charms were boring so was transfiguration and divination was just weird nobody wanted to go after what happened yesterday.
Now since classes are done it's time for Quidditch tryouts and for Harry to go to his first private lesson with Professor Jackson.
Percy's Pov.
It was time to have the first lesson with Harry. I really hope that he is going to be okay with it. We were in this room called the room of requirement. Apparently, it appears whenever you really need it. So I guess if we really need it when something bad is going to happen to harry. So I guess he is going to have to learn to fight pretty fast. I can't tell him that I'm a demigod but how do I explain the fact that I know so much about fighting with a sword.
"Um hello?" Harry said as he walked in.
"Oh hi Harry, um I'm sorry that you have to do this." I said, "I'm sorry that this is getting in your way of playing Quidditch."
"Of course I'm mad but there's not anything that you can do about it so let's just get this over with," Harry said.
"Yeah let's get to that so have you ever held a sword before?" I asked.
"Um yeah once when in my second year of Hogwarts but other than that no," he said.
"Well let's get started you can't be much worse than I was"I said.
I started to teach him the basics of holding a sword on how to position your body and all that jazz. I have taught people worse than him but oh boy was he bad at this. He was overall not that strong since they use wands it doesn't take as much strength. And with that, he was doing pretty well. We started to spar a little bit I went very easy on him but still he was easy to beat. I don't blame him I have a lot of years of doing this under my belt. It was getting towards the end of our lesson we were sitting relaxing for a little bit and we started talking.
"So how old were you when you learned to use a sword?" Harry asked.
"I was twelve. I was taught my an amazing swordsman his name was luke. He was a good friend of mine but he betrayed me." I said.
"Oh i'm sorry I know what i feels like to be able to trust no one," Harry said.
"Yeah, it sucks he died a hero even if he wasn't always one. Also just like you have Ron and Hermione I have my own set of friends I can trust" I said as I pulled out a picture of Annabeth and me "this is my girlfriend Annabeth I've known her since I was twelve. She is the most beautiful woman in the entire universe."
"She seems really important to you," Harry said as he chuckled.
"Yeah she is, she had been with me through it all. I could never ask for anything more than my wise girl." I said "well would you look at the time. It's time for dinner so what do you say should we clean up and go eat some food."
"Let's do that," Harry said.
Harry's POV.
The lesson with Professor Jackson was actually really fun. It was nice to learn a bit about his past Hermione will be happy that I got that information. He seemed to really care about his girlfriend. I'm starting to see that he is not much different from me.
"Hey, Ron how was Quidditch tryouts?" I asked.
"Harry it was fantastic I did so well. How was your lesson with Professor Jackson?" He asked with a mouth full of food in his mouth.
"It was actually pretty fun i'll tell you more about it later," I said.
"Oh Harry I was doing some research in the library today and I found something that I need to show you later," Hermione said.
I was shocked when she had said this. She was always defending professor Jackson and now she is doing research on him. Well I mean who else could it be about.
"Okay" I said.
The rest of dinner was pretty boring when we got back to the common room Hermione was very anxious to show me what she had found.
"Look Harry," she said.
She was showing me a newspaper article about Percy and his Mother going missing after a car accident. In the article, it says that Percy was a troubled child and he was the reason behind it.
"And look at this one!" she said as she put the other newspaper on the table.
This one said that Percy was wanted for questioning after he fled a bus that he blew up. The next one that she put on the table was about him going crazy and blowing up a side of the gateway arch. It mentioned about some witnesses saw him jump out of the arch. I couldn't believe it I knew he was a troubled child but I didn't think that he was this bad. Did he kill his mother and then ran away from the authorities when he was twelve. No there was no way he too nice. He holds things way too close to him for him to kill his mother. None of this is making sense.
"I know we shouldn't jump to conclusions but maybe he isn't the person that we thought he was." Hermione said.
"Hermione I think the media might be manipulating him a little bit. Do you remember last year when Rita Skeeter came and interviewed me and changed almost all of my answers." I said " After I had my private lesson with him I can't believe that he would do something like kill his mother and blow up monuments and busses. He has people that he holds very close and I just can't see him doing this. Next lesson I have with him I will ask him more about his family so hold your horses for a little bit okay."
"Okay fine but he could also be manipulating you, so don't just write it out of being an option," Hermione said, "and Goodnight."
"Goodnight" Ron and I said as we headed off to the boy's dormitory and went to sleep.
