Chapter 2: Into the Brick Wall Percy
AN: Guys, I want you to know that I will try to post as often as I can, because I'm only human, right?

We were traveling to Diagon Alley by Floo Powder. We got to the Leaky Cauldron.
"Hey Tom", Mom said.
"Ah, Sally long time no see. What are you here for?", he asked.
"I'm here for my son Percy because it's his first year here. C'mon Percy. Let us go to Gringotts."
While we were going through Gringotts, I saw beautiful shops, ugly shops, and boring, but crisp shops. However, one shop got my attention. It was called, Quality Quidditch Supplies. I wanted a broom, but my mom said, "No Percy. First years aren't allowed to have brooms. Besides, we have a broom at home." She must have seen me about to ask what it was. "It's called the Pegasus 5000." "Neat!", I said. But little did I know that broom would save my life later. When we went to Gringotts, something strange happened. The goblins all bowed to me.
"I'm guessing this doesn't happen often?", I asked.
My mom laughed and ruffled my hair. "You're correct. The goblins do NOT respect any witch, wizard, or warlock."
"Then why do they…respect me?", I asked.
"I cannot tell you child.", she said.
I didn't realize that she called me child for the first a child. I didn't realize until my seventh and final year at Hogwarts. Because of my ADHD brain, I was looking around Gringotts. I stopped looking around I heard tiny snippets of what my mom and Griphook were saying. Would like to visit his father's vault… has he found who his father was…that was a sore subject. We never knew who my father was. Well, my mom did, and I didn't. he should go…no he shouldn't. he must find out who his father is… but Percy's already used his powers before… how… I do not know… we should get going, my abusive husband will not be happy if we don't come back today… It wasn't until the summer that I found out what language they were speaking. We went on an extremely fast but nauseating cart ride. It was about 10 minutes before the world stopped spinning. Hell, my mom even threw up! It took me a few seconds, but I realized that we were at the bottom of Gringotts! And Gringotts is really, really, deep. We were at least 10,000 feet below the surface, maybe more.
I looked at the three vaults there. The first one had a bone on the top and an inscription that said: άδης. With a start I realized that said Hades in Greek. For some… reason it had an aura of death. The second one had a lightning bolt on the top and an inscription that said: ο Δίας, or Zeus in Greek. I realized that something was up. The first vault had a death aura, the second vault had an ozone/lighting aura, and the third vault had an ocean scent/aura (a.n. any guesses who that is?) But for some reason I was drawn to it. It had a crest of a wave on top and an inscription that said: Ποσειδώνας, or Poseidon in Greek. I walked towards that one and put my hand on the door. What I saw in there shocked me I saw literal mountains of gold, silver, and bronze. I saw some coins that were about the size of a hubcap. They were lumpy but bog and was made of gold. Another thing that was weird, I saw swords, shields, bows and arrows, breastplates, greaves, and helmets. There was enough armor to cover an entire army! I pulled out my sack and got my Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts. I didn't pick up the hubcap coins (what I called them) we went on the cart and got of Gringotts as fast as we could. When we got out of Gringotts, we decided to get my robes at Madam Malkin's. We had an, eventful day. We got me potion ingredients, robes, books (which I didn't like very much), and some ice cream. When we got home, Gabe was being an asshole as always. He was asking Mom for the bean dip. I don't understand why he couldn't make the dip. Then again, he's too fat to do anything. He was playing poker with him and his retard friends (well, except for Eddie, he was nice.). I just went straight to my room to start studying. My mom had invented a spell that I used to help with my dyslexia. I did it on my own, but for some reason the Ministry of Magic from England or America didn't come to my house. Once Gabe's buddies left, I left the comfort of my cozy room, or Gabe's study, were he would dump all his beer bottles, cigars, cigarettes, and his muddy boots that he always leaves on my windowsill. My mom and I came to an agreement. I wouldn't come home for the holidays, so I wouldn't get pissed off by Gabe and make me do something that I would regret. It was about a week later when I went to the park and saw two of my old friends. "Barry! Iris!", I yelled. "Percy?" Barry asked. "What are you doing here dude?" "Uh, what does it look like I'm doing dingus?" "Hey Perce", Iris said. "Hey, where's Uncle Joe and Uncle Henry?", I asked. Barry pointed to the benches. "When's, the, you know…", I asked. "Uhm, next week, I think.", Barry stated sadly. "Hey, I'm sorry for your loss.", I stated. We were talking about Barry's mother, who died just last month of cancer. When I found Uncle Joe and Uncle Henry, we chatted for a little while. After about an hour I had to go home and eat dinner. When I got home, I took my dinner, and I went into my 'room'. 1 Week Later "We are gathered here today to mourn the death of Nora Allen, who died of terminal breast cancer." After about 1 hour we ate some food. "Well see you guys later", I said. "Wait why?", Iris asked. "Well I'm going to a school in England."
