Percy sneezed as he had brought a book down from the highest of the shelves, having been lifted up by one of the Ebony knights, a step could levitate. The knight held strongly to his waist to keep him up.
Thing is though, the knight was actually kinda getting nervous from the glares coming from a certain silver haired boy far below. It rattled the knights entire being. But the knight stayed strong, he was basically inanimate and just did whatever Hogwarts wanted of it.
Percy, as oblivious as always just rubbed his nose. When they were finally on the ground once more, the knights scurried off and out of sight. "Did I do something wrong?" He asked Draco as he walked up feeling a bit rejected by the knight, but really all the lights loved hims and everyone, they respected and were afraid of Draco though.
"No, nothing. What did you need anyway?" Draco asked seeming to be more lax in his stature now that he had Percy beside him again.
"Well, Harry was given a map by the twins, it shows where everyone is at in Hogwarts, thing is though he says he sees Peter Pettigrew on it sometimes. So I decided to check a special book of illusions and charms such like the map to see if we can get all the details about what's happening. Hermione has been doing all the tutoring for the Griffindors and such so I decided I might as well do this. Can't leave it all on her." Percy explained as he dragged Draco to their office, you heard correct their office. As in the rest of the group always found them in there and they never bothered to use it. Unless Hermione needed a place away from everyone else, mostly Ron.
"How come the rest of us haven't been told?" Draco asks as he opens the door, which Percy thanks him for.
The young demigod shrugged. "He thinks it might just be something else. He also said that he saw Sirius chasing Peter. We sent word to our Mother and Snape."
"Were never going to have a normal year." Draco sighed and fell into one of the many lounge chairs.
Percy smirked. "Normal? I thought this was our normal." He says and grins happily at Draco.
Draco rolls his eyes but can't help but smile back. "Yes, I guess it is."

It was dinner time and the group was in the great hall chatting about school work when Harry sighed having been quiet the whole time everyone looked at him.
"What?" He asked as he looked at the 7 different faces of his friends. Ron had his face stuffed but was looking over questioningly. The Slytherin unamused, Luna being Luna, and the rest different levels of concern.
"You've been really quiet is all." Hermione spoke as she shrugged.
"Just worries about the game." He said and most of the group 'ah'ed. "The Dementors have been staying at bay, but what if something happens while we're up there with them?"
Percy nodded a sit was a great point. "Honestly you guys shouldn't even be playing till they're gone. Maybe you can get Lupin to teach you that spell? The one that saved you in the train."
"That would be wise, maybe for all of us to learn it.." Luna said and Harry shrugged and they just all went back to eating.
Everyone trying to decide if they should or not.

Harry was right, he was attacked on the field, but luckily enough Lupin was there to save him, making him get on the good side of most of them.
Hermione was still a little hesitant.
But it was during one of their DADA classes that made it all the more official for them to to ask Lupin for help.
Everyone was there that day. As it was a class with every house, it was a big lesson for all of them.
The bogart. A being that hanged into ones worst nightmare.
A lot of the group were afraid of what would happen. But they just talked it through and reassured everyone else.
"Okay class, everyone ready? Let's start with the Ravenclaw house shall we? Stand in a line and wait, now all you do," Lupin explained as he walked around and as students from the Ravenclaw house got in a line. "Is point your wand at the Bogart and say 'Ridiculous'." He says as he takes the sheet off what was now a cupboard. Or maybe even a wardrobe.
Everyone nodded as they were all quite serious some still had smiles, but they were hopefully ready.
When it got to Luna, the thing changed to her father, hanging from the, well nowhere, but from a rope around his neck, dead. She said the spell and it turned into her father with a flower necklace and crown smiling at her with a goofy grin.
Hermione went next, and to no ones surprise it was a large spider that nearly made her faint, she definitely screamed but said the spell quickly and it turned into a dead bug.
The Slytherins were next, and they were a little worried.
Blaise has found himself faced with his mother getting married and leaving him, it made the groups hearts go out to him. He quickly said the Spell, and it was over. But he said no other words as he walked away and sat by Ron who patted his back with a reassuring smile.
Draco, his was interacting as the Bogart hanged at least twice. First it was him being cocky, more then usual, and cruel. Looking like a villain and someone no one would want to be friends with. Though when he said the spell it only changed to another fear. No one could see it really, but Lupin did And was very surprised to see a curled up Percy lying dead with a child, also dead under his arm, Percy being curled around it, as if he tried to protect the child. Draco gulped and had to say the spell several times before it finally worked and the Bogart disappeared back into the wardrobe. He stalked over to Percy and hugged him and Percy hugged back, whispering comforting words to the boy.
Ron was the first to go of the Griffindors, and we found he loved food a lot, and then a finished game of Chess, and him alone. No one knew what it meant but Ron, who had blushed as well as paled if that was even possible.
Finally it was Harry's, and what came out was a Dementor who tried to kill him once again but a Lupin saved him quickly. Harry was a little disturbed and talked with Lupin who nodded before going back to teaching.
The Hufflepuff house was finally doing the assignment.
It was actually pretty quick, there was only 4 of them being third years.
The Bogart changed into Neville's ex-Uncle before quickly turning into a laughing Percy, a cruel look on Bogarts Percy face as it pointed and mocked him. Before then changing to Percy being dead once again, and then it switched between his friends. He was crying as he said the spell. Which turned the corpse into a patch of flowers.
Percy patted Neville's back as he gave him a hug to help him. As he saw the whole thing. Why we're they doing this again? It only seemed to make their day worse.
The son of Poseidon was the last to go, and he was nervous as he clutched his wand tightly in his sweaty palm. But he looked ready to fight, which he always was. When the Bogart came out at first it came out as an Evil Luke, which scared him a little before changing into Draco being Evil. But it changed again to them dead and it switched between everyone he loved and held dearly. This only made him sad. Making the Bogart change once more to the Minotaur ad everything he fought during his summers before landing on a face he never wanted to see again.
Percy literally stepped back as the ugly yellow teeth of Gabe Ugilano showed in a twisted smile, twisting his heart in fear. Percy was wide eyed and frozen as he watched the man he hated, the man he loathed started to inch towards him.
He couldn't, move, the flashes of his last beating, going through his mind over and over and over and over until it was continuously repeating in front of his eyes and every other time he was beaten...among other things as well.
"Ridiculous!!" Yelled a familiar voice and one that made his heart start again as he looked to his side to find Draco there looking a bit angry as he glared at the joe Statue of Gabe.
With all that over everyone went on with their day, even if it was a day they'd put down as the worst yet.
