"Giants?" Hermoine exclaimed, she had dragged him to the hut before he could even take a step inside of the castle, wanting to introduce him to Percy. Instead they hid behind a window until Umbridge was gone. Percy was tense now, giants, not his favorite, especially the Greek kind.
Hermione put a hand on his forearm and gave him a small smile as she continued to fire questions at Hagrid. The man was answering and telling them to keep a secret, Percy knew that from the way he easily answered their questions, the three mostly got their answers from him.
"And who are you, lad?" Hagrid asked as he looked back at him.
"I'm Percy Grindelwald, sir." Percy introduced himself and held his hand out, "I started here in september."
Hagrid shook his hand and while he shook his hand, "He's my boyfriend." Hermione added, Percy raised his eyebrow as Hagrid tightened his hold on Percy's hand and pulled him closer to whisper, "You do something boy and I will…"
Percy wanted to egg on but he just nodded, and pulled his hand away and smiled, "It was nice meeting you, Hagrid."
"I will see you in my class, boy." Hagrid said with a bit of excitement, "I've heard from Slughorn that you're quite good with the magical beasts."
"I've had a lot of experience." Percy said with a smile, he thinks about Blackjack and misses the pegasus. "I'm looking forward to your class, sir."
Hagrid let them out with a warning of the storm and Percy looked up at the air, which was not his fathers doing. He held a close hand over his pocket and Hermione noticed, she put her hand in his free one and squeezed.
—
Percy stepped into the common room and was cornered by his oh so favorite people, "Malfoy." He tiredly greeted, as he made his way to the .
"Grindelwald." Malfoy greeted him, "Saw you hanging around with Granger, holding hands, making kissy faces at each other."
Percy rolled his eyes and looked back at him, "You saw correct." He said.
"Such a pity for your family," The blonde said, "Must be hard for them to see you with a mudblood."
Percy stopped walking, "What did you just say?"
"I said that it must be hard for them to see you with a mudblood." He sneered and Percy stopped and pointed at the blonde as he got up close to him.
"You dare call her that one more time and I will-"
"Will what? Hex me? Over some mudblood?" Percy punched his nose, and pulled him closer by the collar.
"Don't you dare call her that when you're nothing but a weasel." He threatened, "Your daddy can't help you when you're at Hogwarts, can he now?" His eyes glowered at the cowering blonde.
"Perseus Grindelwald." A voice cut through the tense atmosphere and Percy slowly put Draco down. Professor Snape stood at the entrance of the common rooms looking over them. "Down to my office, now."
Percy dusted Malfoys collar and smiled at him, "Next time, it'll hurt more." He threatened silently and walked off down to Snape's office. Down the stairs he stepped, he was still seething. He waited outside of the office as Snape walked down with a slight glare in his eyes.
The man opened the door and gave him a sharp look. Percy clenched his jaw and held his head up high. "What are you even thinking? Attacking a fellow student like that?" Snape hissed as he sat down behind his organized desk.
"Sir." Percy started.
"Nothing sir." Snape said as he glowered at Percy. "Umbridge is still here, she would have kicked you out after the first detention if she had the choice."
Percy took in a sharp breath and glowered at Snape, "He called Hermione, someone I care about, a mudblood." He said and stood up. "I can't let him do that."
"Sit back down." Snape said as he looked up. "Control yourself." The sky thundered outside. "There are more things that I need to busy myself with. Instead I am in this office with you."
Percy took a breath, "Detention?" He asked quietly.
"This weekend, the whole weekend." Snape said. "Ten points from Slytherin. You'll clean the hospital beds without the use of magic. Report by Madam Pompfrey by 7 in the morning and you'll have to do the tasks given to you, with no complaints." He ordered.
Percy nodded, "Am I dismissed, Professor?" He questioned.
Snape nodded, "Don't let me find you doing this again." He ordered and Percy clenched his jaw before he stood up and immediately walked over to his dorms to finally go to sleep.
—
The next morning, Percy was tired. He hadn't slept well at all, something about the vacation he missed was having his own room without any of the other Slytherins. He tiredly sat in the class and was nudged by Hermoine.
"Hey." He said softly.
The girl smiled brightly, "Guess what?"
Percy blinked a few times, "What?"
"No, guess."
Percy sucked in a breath and gave her an amused smile. "You've gotten a good grade on your homework?" He asked.
Hermione softly slapped his shoulder, "No! Not that, although I received feedback from Professor McGonnagal." She whispered and Percy silently snorted in amusement, as he looked at her brown eyes. "Harry just asked me if we wanted to go on a double date, with him and Cho. This weekend at Hogsmeade."
Percy raised his eyebrows, it would be fun. Instead of agreeing, he winced. "I can't," He muttered, "I got detention."
Hermione frowned as she looked concerned, "Is that why you haven't slept well?" She asked as she put a hand on his nape and slowly tucked his collar in. "What happened?" She was questioning him so softly he felt his heart strings just get tugged by even the simplest touch.
"I punched Malfoy," Percy said quietly and quickly added, "I think I might've broken his nose."
Hermione giggled, and someone cleared his throat. "Miss Granger, Mr. Grindelwald." The two stiffened as they heard their names being called. Her hand dropped from his back. "What do these ruins do?" She pointed at the board.
"Strength or stability." Percy said after taking one look at it. "It's Old English, right?"
"Correct, translation?"
"Wild ox."
The professor nodded, "Correct." She said and continued the class. Percy shared a smile with Hermione. After a minute of paying attention, Percy turned back to Hermione. "You look nice today," He said softly.
Hermione blushed a bit but frowned at him. "And you look tired, what did you lose sleep over? Not Malfoy, right?"
Percy cringed but nodded, "He said that it must be hard for my family to see me with a-"
"Mudblood." Hermione said softly and sighed.
The boy frowned, "He says that a lot, doesn't he?" He asked quietly.
A small frown was plastered over her face, "I'm afraid so."
Percy then gave her a small smile, "I'll prank him everytime he does, that way they won't catch me without evidence." They shared a small laugh and Hermione then scolded him for distracting her. He took her scolding with a fond smile. When class finished, they walked out and Hermione stopped Percy in the hall to straighten his tie.
With the clicking of the heels through the hall, Percy quickly took a step away from Hermione and clenched his jaw as the pink figure walked away. He sighed and shared a tired look with Hermione. "Just half a year left of her." She sighed.
—
The next week has been a lot at once, Percy heard that the divination class was getting a centaur as a teacher and avoided the class with everything he had. Their secret meeting was canceled and the list of its participants were revealed to Umbridge. Dumbledore takes the blame and runs away instead of being detained.
It had been a mess, it felt like a jail due to how tight the leash was on them, Umbridge reveled in the thought of having a reason to expel them. Such a lovely headmistress.
Tired of being so controlled, the Weasley twins started to push back, setting off their enchanted fireworks. It was funny seeing none of the staff doing anything to help Umbridge. Harry had ended his relationship with Cho, the way had confronted her about her friend's betrayal.
Hogwarts wasn't fun anymore, the paintings were removed, boys and girls aren't allowed eight inches near one another, the former participants of Dumbledore's Army were all questioned by the pink headmistress.
The detentions were horrible, he'd have to secretly brew some healing potions in the extra time he had to drop a bit on top of everyone's wounds. It was messed up, a group torture setting.
Percy quietly listened as Hermione and Ron condoled Harry about all of the things that happened ever since. Percy didn't have to say that it wasn't his fault, the rules were restricting everyone's ability to learn.
Hagrid subtly got their attention and led them through the dark forest, "Gods," Percy whispered to Hermione, "Just when I was trying to avoid them." He said and the ground shook as the centaurs kept running.
"Hagrid, why can't you tell us?" Harry asked as they followed after the professor. As soon as Percy heard a noise, his hand went into his pocket, holding his pen tightly. "Grawpy."
A giant, Percy's heart beated and his head was telling him to kill it. "Down here you big buffoon." Hagrid called out.
Hermione's hand was on his forearms, shaking her head.
"Brought you some company." The giant was starting to run now and Percy fully took his pen out of his pocket. They turned to run but the stomping stopped and they looked back to see it tied to a rope, "I couldn't just leave him, because he's my brother."
"I'm assuming he's not your full brother." Percy said as he held his pen tightly. Hermione kept a hand on his arm. "He'd never trust you if you kill him now, nor will Harry or Ron."
"Or you?" He asked quietly.
"I don't know." Hermione admitted and Hagrid continued talking, no-one noticed their little exchange.
"Well, half-brother, he isn't th-" He continued to talk but Percy was just staring at the giant. He then reached beside Percy and to Hermione.
"Hermione!" He called out and tried to reach for her. She screamed as he picked her up.
"Don't, Percy!" She called out as he nearly uncapped his pen. His heart was beating out of his chest and he must've looked pale.
"But-!" He protested
"No." She ordered and Percy breathed deeply. His hand was held tightly on his pen. Ron looked at Percy, incredulously.
"Why aren't you doing anything, you're her boyfriend?"
"Did you not hear her? I'm not allowed to do anything." He said tensely.
"Some boyfriend you are." Ron countered. Percy squinted at the guy and raised his eyebrows.
"Exactly, some boyfriend I am." He said, and took a step closer to Ron, "I'm respecting her, she isn't some damsel in distress."
Ron pushed a finger into Percy's chest, "You shouldn't though."
Percy opened his mouth and instead smiled, "What?" He cocked his head to the side, "Shouldn't be her boyfriend?" He asked.
Harry and Hagrid were looking at them now, while Hermione was lecturing Grawpy. "Yeah, you bloody death eater." Ron shouted back and Percy scoffed. "I don't know why they let you into the Order."
"I'll have a go at you, you fucking ginger." He stated and his patience was thinning, "Now step the fuck away from me."
"What are you going to do?" Ron spit back, "Are you going to hex me like your grandp-"
"Ron!" Hermione said, neither noticed the giant putting her down. "What is the matter with you?" She asked and turned back to Percy, "You should watch your language." She scolded and Percy's eyes softened as it turned to the girl. Of course she would lecture him in the middle of a dispute.
Percy sucked in a breath, if Ron was anyone else and not one of Hermione's best friends. He'd be on the ground or even dismissed. "I'm going back to the castle." Percy stated and gave Hermione a small smile, "I'll talk to you later." He swiftly left.
The anger that he felt was still simmering in the back of his head, seriously, it annoyed him to no end that Ron thought he had the audacity to be Hermione's boyfriend. His breath hitched as he stopped at the front steps of the castle.
He shuddered as he thought about Ron and Hermione together. Maybe the guy was just jealous. Or he truly hated him, maybe he just played nice for his friends and parents.
—
Percy quietly ate his breakfast on his own, a rejected newspaper in front of his note as he ignored it and instead thought about the actions of George and Fred Weasley. They were done, they had had enough and rebelled, throwing even more fireworks around the school and promptly flew away.
"Ronald Weasley, how dare you! How dare you say that to Perseus! He is a young gentleman who has done nothing but care for Hermione! He is good! He is kind! And you acted like that! Ronald Weasley you better apologize, right this moment!" Percy choked on his breakfast as he looked up at the Gryffindor table with wide eyes.
"Weasley got a howler, about Grindelwald!" Malfoy began to laugh loudly at the table and Percy casted the boy a glare, effectively shutting him up. Percy stared at the guy and itched his nose.
He looked back at the table to see Ron looking mad at him, he looked back at Hermione and raised his eyebrows. She just shook her head, she'll explain it later. Harry's head was on the table next to her, he was asleep so it seems.
He shot up, eyes wide and sweating. With wide eyes he stared at Percy, the demigod felt concerned as he saw his chest heaving. Harry looked to their sides and whispered harshly. A few words were exchanged and Hermione nodded at Percy to come with them.
Umbridge walked into the great hall and triggered one last prank that the twins set up. Percy felt the utmost respect for them as he sneaked out of the great hall and followed the three up the stairs, "Listen!" Hermione demanded, "What if it is a trap? What if Voldemort wanted you to see this?"
Percy spoke up about his experience, "Dreams are important, Hermione." He argued and gave her a look that he hoped she would understand, "They can be a message or just what happens in the future."
"If it is going to happen, we can still save him." Harry said and continued up the stairs. Percy moved to follow after him and Ron but was held back by Hermione. "Why did you do that?" She asked quietly, he could see how worried she is.
"Because I need to help him in whatever way I can." He said.
"What if he goes into a trap?" She asked. Percy smiled and squeezed her forearm, "Then he won't be alone."
Hermione sucked in a sharp breath and followed Percy, protesting weakly as they followed the two. "We're in this together." Ron said as they looked at the floo powder network. Harry swiftly spoke with Kreacher who confirmed his suspicions.
"What do you think you're doing?" A voice sharply asked and Percy turned back to look at Umbridge. The inquisitorial squad held Neville and Ginny and wandpoint. Percy's breath hitched in concern when a Slytherin had Luna by the end of his wand.
Soon they were all held back and Percy sneered at Draco who victoriously smiled at him. He lowered his eyes and gave him the glare that Lupa taught him in the Wolf House. Draco's smile fell fast.
Percy pulled against the hold on him as he watched Harry being interrogated by Umbridge, "You dare hit anyone in this room, Umbridge." Percy roared out, his patience had run out, "You will have no idea what I will do."
"Is that a threat?" Umbridge sickly smiled at him.
"A promise." Percy spit out and he heard voices of soft protest from besides him, Hermione.
"Detention for the remainder of the year." Umbridge smiled wickedly. She was a sick woman, Percy knew that, but he also knew that if he were expelled, he'd just stay at home, studying for his OWLs. But with detention? It allows her to torture him all she wants.
"You sent for me, headmistress?" A familiar monotone voice called out.
"You're quite late."
"I apologize, the ground was shaking." With that Percy took in a deep breath and calmed himself, not looking Hermione in the eyes. Shame, is what he felt.
"The time has come for answers, whether willingly or not. Have you got the Veritaserum?" Percy nearly scoffed.
"I'm afraid you've used all of my stores, interrogating students." Snape said and continued talking, Percy listened with interest and his shoulders relaxed a bit, despite the situation they're in.
"He's got Padfoot," Harry called out before the potions professor left the room, "He's got Padfoot at where it is hidden."
Umbridge fired questions related to Harry's statements. The man slowly turned back and with the familiar monotone voice said, "No idea, I think he has gone mad." But Percy could see the slight crack in his facade, the panic wasn't evident but hidden.
"As this is a matter of the Ministry, this will leave me with no choice, the Cruciatus Curse will be used."
"That's illegal." Hermione protested.
Percy started to tug on the weak hold, which was the only thing holding him back from attacking the didn't see how Hermione's eyes looked at Percy and Harry in concern. Percy was about to pull himself loose- "Tell her, Harry!" She called out.
"Tell me what?" The pink headmistress questioned Hermione, holding her wand strictly at Potter. Percy's heart beated in his chest as he realized.
"If you won't tell her, we will tell her where it is." He played along. They shared a subtly look.
"Where what is?"
"Dumbledore's secret weapon!" Hermione called out. Umbridge looked delighted to hear it and before they knew it they were back in the forest.
Percy took in a deep breath as he smelled the mist and it reminded him of Camp Half-Blood. The forest that held secrets and battles that aren't found, monsters in the dark. They walked deep in the forest and Percy subtly shook the ground, he knows why they're here.
The one thing he always wanted to avoid resides in the forest and was agitated by her actions. Percy reached for his pocket as he noticed that the rope was bitten apart, not even pulled apart. "Well? Where is this weapon?" She nearly fell over her own feet when the ground shook for a bit. That had put her in a bad mood.
Percy's eyes widened a slight bit as he didn't hear the hooves of the centaurs yet. "You tricked me." The woman stated and he casted a look at Hermione. He shifted his foot and the ground shook some more, he stopped and he heard shuffling.
"Fancy a drink, boys?" Percy said as he looked at the centaurs. "I'll get you some alcohol later." He continued in Greek.
Umbridge sneered at the Grindelwald, "I really do hate all half-breeds," she pointed her wand at him now, "Not even a complete Brit, just an American and Greek one. Your mother really has no morals, does she?"
Percy took a step in her direction, not caring about the wand with a sneer on his face and a finger pointed out at her, "You fucking dare speak about my mother like that." He spit out and suddenly his view was blocked by frizzy hair.
Hm, Hermione's hair turned frizzy because of the damp. "What do you want from us, godling?" The centaur out in front asked, but he didn't not look happy to be around humans, any type of human. Umbridge turned her wand towards them.
"You have no business here, centaur. This is a matter of the Ministry." She argued and held her hand out. Instead they approached and drew back their arrows and aimed in their direction. "Lower your weapons!" She said some more and Percy shook his head when she called them near-human intelligence.
Gods, Chiron was going to have a laugh at this.
With a shield she deflected the arrows. Percy subtly stepped away and motioned for them to do the same. "How dare you?" She screamed out, "Filthy half-breeds!" Percy's breath hitched as she casted a rope spell at them. It wrapped itself around a centaurs neck as he struggled to breathe.
Percy ran over and pulled out his pen, the centaur was still choking as he looked at Hermione. Hermione quickly pulled Harry away, "Help him!" She called out and Percy uncapped the pen swiftly, cutting the rope.
"Enough!" He heard her scream as he cut through the rope with one pull, the centaur finally breathed and another scream was heard, Percy capped his sword and watched as Hagrid's brother pulled her up.
They tried to attack the giant, "No! He doesn't mean no harm." He called out, he now sees it. It's just like his family, Tyson didn't know how to act at first as well. The centaurs stopped and Hermoine ordered for the giant to put her down.
Umbridge screamed as they took her away and Percy grabbed his wand out of his pocket and hexed her with the confusion hex. "She won't be back." She still wasn't out of sight and her shrill voice carried in the woods. "Langlock!" He casted as the voice shut up.
Harry looked at them, "Sirius." He said quietly.
Percy took in a sharp breath and looked at Hermione, "Go to the rest." He said and put a hand on Harry's shoulder. "Alert the order." he said and clenched his jaw as he watched Hermione reach out for them with protests leaving her mouth.
Crack.
Percy's heart hammered on his ribcage as he started to second guess his decision of just apparating with Harry, he looked at the boy besides him and saw that he was heaving on his knees.
Percy grabbed the moleskin pouch out of his pocket and pulled a potion out of the seemingly never ending pouch, he opened it and put it under Harry's nose. The boy's head snapped up and casted to the sky. He looked energized again.
"What was that?" He questioned.
"Essence of Dittany." He answered and they began to run into an elevator. Adrenaline rushed through their veins as they waited to arrive at the department of mysteries. "Harry." Percy said.
The boy's head snapped over to him.
"You need to know, whatever happens in there, is not going to be your fault." Percy stated as his calm facade cracked a bit, "If I don't make it out of there, tell Hermione that I'm sorry."
Harry's face turned into concern but the elevator sounded a bell, signifying that they arrived. Percy ran as soon as it opened, and looked back, urging Harry to do the same. With their wands out, they held their wands out defensively.
All they know is that Sirius is there but they don't know when Voldemort and his fellow death eaters would arrive. Percy stopped Harry and casted a Cat's eyes charm on them. Lumos would give away their position.
Percy wasn't going to get them killed because of a dumb mistake.
Harry walked down the rows and rows of glass sphere's until he stopped by one row, he looked at Percy and pointed down, 'it should be here', the demigod looked down and shook his head, 'I don't see it either.'.
As Percy shook his head, his eyes caught sight of a glowing glass sphere. Percy snapped at Harry, motioning to come look at the sphere and the boy walked over and grabbed a hold of it when he noticed his name.
Percy listened to the prophecy and cussed in his head, there was nothing positive about a prophecy. Only one can live from the context he assumes that it meant Voldemort and or Harry.
A figure approached and Percy held his wand up, "Harry." He alerted, the two stood besides one another as the sound of a door echoed.
"Where is Sirius?" Harry demanded and Percy nearly hissed at him for appearing at the disadvantage.
The masked figure started to monologue and Percy watched as his face was revealed. By the hair he could tell he is a Malfoy. Percy sneered. The sounds of steps got louder and closer. "Now hand me the prophecy." He ordered.
"You do anything, and I'll break it." Harry countered immediately and Percy felt a slight tug of his lips. A laugh rang out and Percy's arm hair stood up, it was boisterous and reminded him of the Wine God. Dionysus, the god of madness. "He knows how to play." The woman began to mock him and Percy tightened the grip on his wand.
He had read about her in the papers, and from the look on Harry's face. It seemed like he knew about her as well. "Bellatrix Lestrange." A voice said breathlessly.
"Longbottom, isn't it?" The woman cocked her head in curiosity. "How's mum and dad?"
Percy didn't budge as an arm pushed out to threaten her with a wand. Neville was held back by someone but Percy didn't care, he kept his eyes on his target. "Now who's this here?" The woman asked happily as she took a closer look at Percy.
She hummed happily as Lucius answered for her, "Perseus Grindelwald."
"A Grindelwald?" She asked as she tilted her head. "I can see the resemblance, with the white hair."
Percy didn't budge.
"Oh he doesn't speak!" She gleefully said as she looked down at him with an insane look in her eyes. "I like my men to be silent." she visibly licked her lips and Percy shuddered. "I also like them scared."
"Now watch your mouth!" Hermione said from beside him and his heart bottomed out. Bellatrix could now kill her with the flick of her wand.
Lucius slowly put his wand down, but never away as he lowered it. "Now, let's just calm down." He said, "We just want the prophecy."
"And the man if possible." She added and licked her teeth. Percy shifted his feet as he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, "Behind us." He whispered and Luna turned around to point at the masked death eater behind her.
Harry continued asking questions, and Percy knew that if no-one took any action in the last few minutes, they could be fighting a losing war. None of the students except Harry had experienced being in an actual fight.
Relief washed through Percy as he heard cracks and hushed voices, but he recognized by the nervous and worried voice that Remus had arrived. The man deeply cared for his friends and former pupils, Percy could tell.
Bellatrix screamed at Harry, calling him names. Lucius being the ever mediator calmed her down. Percy let the ground shake in slight warning as they were being surrounded by more and more, the glass spheres shook in their places as it sounded an eerie clinking sound.
Lucius explained as his frown deepened by the shake. He held his hand up as they neared and Percy shook his head, "No more." He ordered.
"Such a deep voice." Bellatrix stared at him, as if nitpicking everything about what makes him a person worthy of her time, "You're going to be mine."
Lucius continued manipulation Harry and Percy shook the ground even more as the boy started to consider it. Percy knows what it is like wanting answers, just not from Lucius while they're surrounded. Slow steps sounded on the stone floor as death eaters approached closer.
The sound of Remus gets louder as Percy assumes they're headed for the source of the clinking noises.
"I've waited for so long." Harry said, "Now!" They all casted a stupefy and most apparated away. They ran in their group formation as they passed shelves, the clinking stopped making it quiet except for the noise of their running.
Lucius appeared in front of them and Percy casted the full body-blind curse at the drop of the hat, the man apparated away again in a pillar of darkness. They all split up and Percy breathed out as he turned around to see Luna get hit to the ground.
He ran over to Luna and pulled her up before running after Harry. He heard her and Neville petrify the death eater. He watched as Hermione and Ron met Harry in the middle, soon they were sandwiched between two death eaters, Harry casted a spell and Percy tackled the other.
"Go!" he called out. The three ran and Percy casted the petrifying curse before sprinting off after them. He saw the shadow trailing beside Harry and Percy held his wand up to stupefy the shadow.
Percy stopped running and still held his wand up as the whole group gathered once again between the racks of prophecies. He looked around and he once again heard the insane laughter over the distinctive fighting in the background.
"You're powerful!" Bellatrix said, delighted at what she's seeing. "Your stamina is a wonder."
Percy cringed at the implications. His attention splitted as they ran away from the falling shelves, Percy pushed Luna to Neville and he pulled her along as they ran. Percy tried to cast wind charms to push them back again but it did not prevail.
They ran through a door and fell down. Percy couldn't hear anything now but his beating heart, he looked over at Hermione and then at Harry. He waved his wand and pulled them closer to him as they fell. They stopped down at the ground before falling flat on their face.
They looked at the archway, the voices. "The voices." Harry said breathlessly.
"What voices?" Hermione questioned and Percy's eyes widened.
"The fields of Asphodel." He whispered. The distinctive screaming carried over to his hearing and he breathed heavily. "Get behind." He said, quieter than normal.
"Get behind us!" Harry ordered, loudly. Making up for the voice that Percy lost. He weighed their options, the portal leading them into the underworld and possibly mistaking the mortals for the dead.
Or fight, until death or whatever came for them.
Black smoke rained down on the and Percy threw Harry and Hermione onto the ground and held them down, he heard the insane laugh and he didn't budge as hands clawed at his back. He howled in pain as his back was being clawed open, nails grabbed a hold of him but pulled at his skin as they kept moving around.
Soon the smoke let up and Percy stood up, his and Harry's wand were the only ones left in the middle as Hermione lost hers. He pushed his wand in her hands and Percy stared down the death eaters.
A chuckle sounded and Lucius walked up with his cane, "Quite impressive, Grindelwald." The man watched in fascination. "It's a pity that you cannot be killed, yet." His stark grey eyes watched him. "My lord still holds out hope that you're not like your great-grandfather." The man articulated and Percy sneered, holding his hand out. "My my, offering your weapon to the mudblood." A leer marked Percy's face.
Bellatrix cackled.
"Did you really think children stood a chance against us?" He asked them in general and Percy counted their heads.
"You've lost more than half of what you came here with." Percy said as he wolfishly stared at the Malfoy.
The blonde sneered, "I'll make this simple," He held his hand out, "Give me the prophecy." He demanded, no more room for arguing anymore. "Or watch your friends die."
Harry looked around and Percy was ready to shift his feet, "Don't give it to him Harry!" Neville shouted as he struggled against Bellatrix' grip. Harry reached to hand it over and Percy's foot shifted.
The shake of the ground was violent, throwing everyone to the ground. Most death eaters lost their wands and Percy kicked back one crawling over to them. The ground kept shaking and Percy remained standing.
The glass ball was still in Harry's hand, Percy picked it up and put it in his pouch and he stopped shaking. Everyone was disoriented and a flash of light signaled the arrival of multiple. "You keep your filthy hands off of my godson." The first figure to emerge from behind the pillar exclaimed and kicked up against Lucius' face.
Other lights of white continued to disappear the death eaters and Percy couldn't help but admire the white light. Sirius pushed Hermione and Harry to Percy. "Get them out!" He casted a spell at the death eater, "Save James!" He roared out.
Percy put his hands on their shoulders, ignoring the protests as he apparated them back to his house. He casted a locking curse at the door and looked back at them, "Remember what I told you, Harry." He said, "The others will arrive soon."
He disappeared from their sights with a crack and appeared back in the chamber with the arch way. He noticed a light heading at him and he waved his wand at it, deflecting it away from him.
He stood besides Sirius as they casted jinxes and curses back at Lucius and another death eater. Insane laughter rang through the room and Percy pushed his body to cast more spells, despite the protests and the strain on him.
The others looked worse.
Sirius casted the spell at the other death eater, throwing him back and Percy casted the disarming spell at Lucius. The man had not expected for them to change targets. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw a lone black trail stalk around a big rock. Sirius stupefied Lucius and Percy pushed the godfather on the ground.
He let go of his wand and pushed down on his watch. The shield unfolded and Percy pushed against the spell, to not fall back into the archway. A cast of light was shot at her and she turned into the black shadow again.
Percy breathed heavily as he watched the spell on his shield go around, losing every aspect of its power. Reducing itself into another unforgivable. Percy's chest heaved and he bellowed in pain as he fell onto his knees.
"No more." He heard a voice say.
"Hermione?" His body was constrained in pain as everything hurted. "Hermione!" He screamed out. His body stopped reacting to the pain and he looked at the white coming down on him.
"Hermione." He whispered out before closing his eyes. His body was drenched in sweat and the heat wasn't leaving him.
A/N: Leave a review please! You all know I'm ass at fighting scenes so I need feedback on this one. Also, need to make sure I applied Percy well into the story.
