The next day, DADA was our first class. The exchange students filled in laughing and pushing each other into walls. Class passed much the same way. Percy would knock something over. His friends would laugh. He'd shoot them an I-hate-you-so-much look. They'd shut up. Put this on repeat for the whole class and no one was able to concentrate.
Classes past and then came one of my favorite of all, Care of Magical Creatures. Hagrid herded us up until we were all assembled outside the forest.
'Now today I 'ave a special treat for yuz! It took a while to track them down, but I finally found some. Beautiful creature they are. Absolutely beautiful'. Just then, a group of three- wait! Are those, winged horses?
'Bloody hell, what are those things?!' Ron exclaimed.
'Pegasi' Percy grinned, clearly excited. It's was then that the creatures seemed to notice Percy. He tried to hide behind Annabeth, but it was too late. The creatures charged at him. Ha grid was yelling at him to run away, but Percy, for some reason, stepped up to meet them. All I can think is Percy mate, you're as good as horse meat.
PERCY
I mentally cursed myself as the Pegasi zoned in on me and started to run.
'Percy! We're supposed to be undercover!' Annabeth whisper yelled.
'I know that,' I mumbled as I stepped up to greet the Pegasi. Immediately their thoughts filled my head.
'Lord, what an honor!'
'How are you?'
'Do you have any donuts? Sugar cubes? I'll even settle for a carrot!'
I laughed as they circled me, brushing up against me and sniffing my pockets.
'What are your names?' I said to them.
I could vaguely hear Annabeth talking to someone in the background, but I was to focused of the winged horses front of me.
'I am Moondust and this is Starlight and Silver,' said a beige horse who was flanked by two horses, one who had a golden colored coat and the other with a Silver coat, true to her name.
'It is a pleasure. My name is-'
But I was cut off by the horse with the golden coat.
'Percy Jackson, we know son of Poseidon. You are quite famous amongst equines and sea creatures both. I am honored to have met you!'
'Um, thank you guys. I'm flattered. By the way, I'm supposed to be undercover, so can you please act as if I am nothing special?'
I asked. I knew my interaction with the Pegasi was going to raise some questions. Questions I couldn't answer.
'Of course lord!' They chorused in unison.
'Thank you!' I smiled at them and walked casually back to the group who was gaping at me like I had just grown two heads. (A/N But that's the hydra's job;) )
HARRY
I was actually feeling rather scared for Percy. He was right in the path, or was the target, of three seeming angry winged horses. However, I was greatly surprised as they surrounded him and started sniffing his pockets and brushing up against him in a friendly manner.
'He has a way with horses,' she explained with a smile, obviously seeing my confused expression. 'They adore him. A Pegasus named Blackjack back home sort of adopted him. Percy loves them.'
I nodded my head as if I understood. I didn't.
He wasn't saying anything, but his eyes were slightly glazed over as if having a mental conversation. Hagrid was looking at him in awe. The Pegasi continued to fuss over him as he laughed and flashed a lopsided grin, causing most of the girls watching (all of them) to sigh. Annabeth looked annoyed, but like this sort of thing happened everyday.
He gave them all one last pat before walking back to Annabeths side. Once he was back in place, out of the blue Annabeth kicked him, hard, in the shins.
'Its not my fault!' he whined, bent over clutching his leg. 'I tried to hide!' She just shook her head at him and pulled him up straight by his collar. Nearby, the other exchange students were laughing and giving a Percy a knowing look.
'Hey Kelp Head!' Thalia called with laughter evident in her tone. 'Did they want sugar cubes?'
'Sugar Cubes, Donuts and Carrots,' he replied grinning. They all shook their heads and laughed. I turned around to find Hermione spaced out, obviously trying to piece bits of information together. I knew exactly where she would be dragging Ron and I after dinner. To the library we go! Yay (note the sarcasm).
Hey guys,
I actually do like library's so no hate please. Keep reviewing and commenting or whatever. I like to know things that I need to change or mistake I pick up on, so pm me!
Thanks,
Sam
